Emilia Montigue:

“Respected Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the couple of the night, Mr. Lucas Bennet and Miss. Emilia Montigue.” The announcer announced from the bottom of the stairs on the mic.

“Are you ready?” Lucas asked and squeezed my hand gently in an assurance way while I looked nervous as I looked at the beautifully decorated hall room, shining with sparkling yet elegant decoration. I roamed my gaze from the top of the stairs in search of my beautiful daughter or niece and found her in the arms of her uncle Declan dressed up in a beautiful crystal blue maxi dress.

My family was standing together looking at me. My father stood with his arms wrapped around Mom, my brothers brought dates with them who I am sure were some strippers or escorts because none of my brothers love to date, they hate commitment. They are all about business, hence why the Montigue Empire is so powerful in the business world and always stands on top. When my parents gave me a nod, only then I took a de

    Lucas Bennet & Emilia Montigue: At the penthouse terrace, with ample space and the soft glow of city lights, after leaving Lily with her grandparents Lucas looked over the skyline of the city. The cooling breeze of the night spread over the atmosphere as it transported the prophecy of an exciting event. Tonight was special in the sense that it celebrated the engagement ceremony of Emilia and Lucas, and began their journey full of ups and downs. The only thing that Lucas could imagine was dining intimately and being romantic. He looked away from the scene and there was an amused twinkle in his eye as he went forward with his strategy. After asking the chef to prepare the best meal for Emilia in the penthouse’s kitchen, Lucas wanted everything to be exceptional, including the smells coming from his kitchen. Intricately he put out a table for the best porcelain and crystal glass and Emilia’s favorite flower bouquet – the deep red roses standing as symbols simultaneously meaning of pass

    Emilia Montigue:“Good morning, my wife-to-be,” Lucas murmurs against the naked skin of my back while entangled from behind as we lay on the bed naked in the morning with Lucas’s arms wrapped around my body and his hands groping my breasts and pinching on my nipples and I moaned during sleep with my eyes closed“Good morning, husband-to-be, but I am not waking up right now. You have drained me out of my energy after so many rounds.” I mumbled in a sleepy voice and heard him chuckle.“I know, right? But we had fun last night.” He spoke and smacked my ass before sliding off the bed “As much as I want to keep lying down with you on the bed, I have some pending work to complete and construction of your community to look after, and then I have to go and bring my daughter back home as your parents always make sure to steal her from me. She is barely at home now as your parents never allow her to be with us. Hell, they even moved to New York from California just to be close with their grandd

    Lucas Bennet:-"Lucas, where are you taking me?" Emily asked me when I literlally dragged her out of the house in a hurry. This woman barely goes for a shopping and buy anything so I plan to spoil hertoday by taking her shopping, for lunch at her favorite restaurant and then more shopping, and after that we are going to go for walk in the park together and then dinner, after that we’re going to go see a movie. It was important to me because I wanted to give a taste of something special that she did not use to have frequently.I grinned widely in response and held her hand tight with me saying, “Patience, love. It’s a surprise!” Then we headed towards my car together.Driving over to the shopping centre was the best thing I have seen in Emily’s eyes. This was unique for her, and therefore made it even more special. On entering into a first shop, she looked around with eyes of child in a candyshop.“Lucas, are you certain all of these? Those are quite much,” she added, looking around.?

    Emilia/Lillian Montigue:- "Where is she? Where is my daughter? Take me to her right now." I screamed and cried as soon as I reached the hospital and asked the receptionist about my daughter "Lillian. Lillian Foster. Where is she?" I grabbed Lucas, my heartbeat racing, in the sterile white corridors of the hospital. Each step seemed to be an endless dragging, the desperation in my lungs as the seconds passed. The receptionist had presented us to Lily’s room and I got there immediately.We made it to the door and my shaking hand pushed it open. The view that met my eyes ripped my heart into pieces. Lily lay on the hospital bed, tiny body cocooned in bandages, inhaling hospital antiseptic. Machines hummed gently measuring her precarious condition.“Oh, Lily,” my words stifled, urged to her side. Lucas walked close behind with his presence serving as an illusion of help. The nurse was leaning a middle-aged woman with a kind face came up near us. "Mrs. Bennet, I'm Dr. Rodriguez. Our ac

    Emilia/Lillian Moretti:-I went running into the bathroom when a wave of nausea hit me and puked into the toilet bowl, my head feeling dizzy with everything spinning around me. I have been feeling like this for the past one and half week. Until a few days, I thought that I must have caught a bug or something but now I am sure that it is not a bug but a baby in my belly. I am pregnant with Lucas's child which wasn't the plan at all. I was taking the irth control pills in secret but due to so many things going on, I might have missed one or two here and there."Fuck! Are you alright, sweetheart?" Lucas came running in the bathroom when he saw me vomit and held my hairs back that were coming in the way. When I was done vomiting, I pulled back and leaned against the wall where I rested my head back while Lucas got up to bring the wet piece of towel. He placed it on my forehead and hold me tightly to him until I feel better."Do you feel better enough to go to the doctor, my love?" Lucas a

Declan said, using my real name "Tell me, would you be able to give birth to the baby whose father killed your twin sister, would you be able to raise him and her wihout being reminded of him? This is how you repay our sister for giving her life for you?""That's it, Declan!" I snapped "How dare you ask me to abort the baby? I know it is my mistake and should have been careful bt the point is that it has happened now and I can't do anything about it. I can't kill this baby inside of me. It's my baby. I am going to raise him or her with all the love. The baby is innocent in all this. It might be Lucas's baby but it is going to be me who is going to bring him or her i

    Lucas Bennett:-"I am sorry, Mr. Bennett. We tried everything we can but we couldn't save the baby." the doctor informs, with a regretful and sad expression, "When she was brought over here, her blood pressure was really high, and she was under a lot of stress, we asked your wife to take it easy as her pregnancy was already a bit complicated."I almost lost my balance and saw stars before me as what the doctor was telling me registered in my mind. We couldn’t save the baby. The phrase resonated with me where each word seemed to hit me in my chest like a drum. I attempted to draw a gulp of air into my lungs but that seemed very difficult as if all the air had been evacuated from the room.All the things that I have done were blown away and all that filled my head was Lillian and how she clung to me, how she begged me to protect our child, her terror and suffering. And now… I’d failed her. I’d failed them both. “When…when can I see her?” I barely got out through a dry throat, my voice

He has no right to feel jealous when he has been the one who went to fuck that bitch Isabelle, after making it clear that he will not have sex with me. No, I won't stand for this. He can't disrespect me like this."Lillian....Lillian, stop!" I heard Lucas call for me but I didn't stop, instead I looked over my shoulder and glared at him, while he carried Lily in his arms and whispered something into her little ear because she got off his arms and ran to her room. Lucas tried to reach for me, but I pushed him away."I said don't you dare touch me and how dare you kiss me out there after using those lips on that bitch, along with other body part of yours." I whiper yelled "Go to hell, Lucas.""Only if you come along with me in there because hell will feel boring without you."I made fists with my right hand Bewildere

How much I wanted that to be me, but I know, it won't happen as I won't let him touch me or do anything. He wants a marriage of convincence, right? I will give him that.From now on, it is going to be just that. It will only be pretending in front of the public while in the home, we are going to be nothing but strangers. He has made it clear himself that he doesn't want to have sex with me since he has got Isabelle to fulfill his needs."Alright, sweet girl. Do you want to come with mommy and go out for some ice cream?" I asked Lily who was just done studying. Her face lit up all of a sudden when she heard me and jumped up and down in excitement and ran towards the foyer to put on her shoes and coat without me asking for it."I am ready, mommy. Shall we go now?" she asked with a puppy dog eyes and I laughed as I picked up the

    Lillian Montigue/Bennett:-"Thanks for thebreakfast, it was delicious." Lucas thanked, after finishing the plate of his breakfast and looked over at my plate, that was left untouched as I didn't feel like eating. I knew the moment I put a single bite in my mouth, I would be running to the bathroom to vomit until nothing was left in my stomach."No, I am scared that I will be spending hours in the bathroom after that. I already feel nauseous due to the morning sickness." I answered "I can't eat now, but I will in a few hours when I feel better."He leaned forward and put his hand over mine, tenderly."Lillian, you simply have to eat something. Nevertheless, it will keep your stomach calm no matter the portion is small or not. The baby requires you to be strong."I gave him a small, appreciative smile. "I know, I will. It’s just…" Trailing off, I looked down at the food on my plate that I had yet to even touch. "Things smell too strong, and everything is too much for me."He smiled quie

    Lillian Montigue:-I lay there eyes closed and could hear the passion and determination in Lucas’s voice as he argued on my behalf, as he dared to cross his father for me. An odd feeling of comfort came over me in the centre of my torso. I’ve been so focused on our suffering and anger toward each other that I didn’t let myself consider how Lucas might feel.But listening to him, listening to the passion in his voice as he talked about me and our child broke my heart in ways I never thought possible. I know he loves me and going through a hard time because of me and my actions which is why I am ready to bear them as long as I can be with Lucas. After marrying him yesterday I realized that it's better to have Lucas in anyway, than not having him around at all. I want him, I want to see him everyday, I want him around me, Lily and our unborn baby.I felt my heart was going to explode as a soothing feeling came over me and I couldn’t pretend any longer. I opened my eyes, surprising him.

    Lucas Bennett:-"What is it, dad?" I asked, picking up the phone annoyed after looking at the screen "What do you want?""Is it true?" he asked, and I knew what he was talking about."Is what true?" I asked, looking at my laptop screen as I tried to get the work done. I know I have got the Bennett company back and got things sorted out, but it doesn't mean I can sit and wait to get doomed again."You know what I am talking about, but fine, if you want me to say it then hear it." he growls "Did you marry that bitch who ruined us?""First of all, you are not going to call her a bitch or disrespect me in anyway. She is my wife and the mother of my unborn baby." I snapped "And, if you dare call me again then I am going to make sure that you rot in prison with your criminal son Liam. Speaking of Liam, I heard you have gotten him out of the prison by bailing him out. How could you do that, dad? You know how cruel he could get and still you did that. Why?""Because I have failed him and I w

    Lillian Montigue:-I had jsut laid down on the bed after finishing my work, and sending the files on my dad's email when Lucas stepped out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist after shower. When I looked at him, I gulped and begin to feel things.Things I didn't want to feel but looking at the man standing over there in just a towel, with his magnificent well-muscular chest and perfect abs on the view, I couldn't help but feel turned on that I clenched my legs and tried to move my gaze but couldn't when I heard him chuckle."Do you want this, wife?" he asked, in a raspy tone with a teasing grin on his face "Don't be shy. You can tell that you want me, after all it is our wedding night and you should be fulfilling your husband's needs. So, aren't you going to fulfil them?"His words made me irritable; however, the sight of him standing there so arrogantly, so wet and so utterly sexy was something my body could not ignore.

    Lucas Bennett:-"Oh my God! I am so happy, Daddy!" Lily squeals when we told her that we were married. She was jumping up and down in excitement and threw herself at me. I caught her and embraced her small body in a hug and kissed on her head "You fulfilled the promise you made to me, daddy. You are the best father in the whole world. I love you so much.""And, I love you too, princess. There is nothing in this world that I won't do for you." I tell her and glanced at Lillian who stood a few feet away from me, nervously rubbing her arm. I felt bad for treating her like this, but I didn't have a choice. I needed to make her marry me, because I knew she wouldn't have married me, if I hadn't forced her.I don't want to give her pain, but what about my pain? I am still trying to cope up with the feelings of her betrayal and how she played with me.I want to forget this, but somehow it keeps popping in my mind, bringing the sour memory of the day that was suppose to be the most beautiful d
