Love Against All Odds Chapter 1: Hoping for a Change
Emily FosterAs the sun sank beneath the skyline of the metropolis, casting a warm golden glow over the busy streets, I disappeared into the depot. It was a long day in the layout studio, where I put my creativity into the painting project that feeds my hours. But no matter how tired I was, my heart of hearts turned to light, because my precious Lily was waiting for me at home.My mature, round-eyed daughter became a gentle beacon in my life. He turned in the work I pushed forward and ran tirelessly to give it to him and give him the high life I deserved. After the chaotic whirlwind of my failed marriage, I had vowed to love and was focusing all my happiness on my precious daughter.We lived in a nice rental apartment on the outskirts of the big city, in a neighborhood full of families that ended up being like our own second family to us. The experience of interacting here has been fascinating, and I wasn’t sure it was anywhere else.Walking through the streets of the big city, my min

Lucas Bennet"Lucas, could you please for one second pretend that you are enjoying the gala for my sake? Because everyone is noticing that you are bored which is not good for me and your father's reputation?" my mom asked, dressed up in a beautiful black silk designer full-length dress. Her pepper hair was tied up in a messy bun while my father stood beside her dressed up in a tuxedo with an arrogant and proud expression on his face like always."Stop asking me to pretend for what I can't, Mom. Enough is enough; besides, I am getting bored of these shits every day. I want change in my life. For once, I want to live life my way. I am not even allowed to do that? Am I asking for too much?" I asked my mother in a low whispered voice as I glanced around the grand ballroom decorated with opulent decoration."Stop embarrassing us, Lucas, Instead go and try to mingle with the crowd. Talk to the daughters of businessmen who can meet our standards. You need to get married and produce an heir o

Emily Foster "Yes, I am her mother. She is my daughter, Lily Foster now you can go and see yourself out because you must be trying to come up with an excuse to get out of this situation now because no one wants to date a single mother which is why I am giving you an easy way out. Go!" I snapped at Lucas. For the first time after Daniel I felt attracted to someone, I would say beyond attracted, the type of attraction I didn't even feel with my ex-husband but when he asked me if I had a daughter, I forgot about it and snapped. Lucas looked at me with a frown while Sarah pinched my arm and asked me to shut up. "I am sorry if I made you feel this way, but that is not how I meant. It's just I was shocked to see that you have a daughter because you don't look like one. That is coming out wrong once again. It's just I am nervous because I want to impress you and this is the first time I am like this in front of a woman. Maybe, because I didn't feel like this with anyone else. What I mea

Emily Foster:"Emily, you need to tell me what the hell happened at the gala last night that made you flee from there in a hurry? One moment you were catching up really well with the billionaire and the next you were running away from him. Why? Do you know who was he? He is the richest man alive in New York City, and the woman he was interested in you. He even didn't mind that you have a daughter and are divorced." my best friend scolded me and I rolled my eyes at her as I began to step out of Sarah's car for work after dropping Lily to school."Sarah, I love you but please don't scold me like this for a man who has already got a woman in his arms. He was just looking for a fling, nothing serious. All the men are the same. Why can't you see that?" I asked Sarah "I am not looking for a relationship because it will only hurt Lily in the end. I don't want my daughter to be heartbroken if she gets attached to Lucas or any other man.""That's where you are lying and wrong about, dear fri

Emily Foster "How did you find me?" I asked this question as soon as we were in my boss's office and the door was closed. "A piece of advice. Never tell your full real name to the billionaire because they have got quite some sources everywhere to look for any person, anywhere. You told me your last name, even Lily told me her name. I just contacted my source and asked him to search you for me and get me every detail he can get." Lucas replied taking steps towards me while I took steps back. I could see the look and desire in his eyes as he moved close to me. He wants me, just like I want him but I can't give in at any cost. "Stand back, don't come close to me," I tell Lucas who raised his left brow and asked. "I will come close to me because I am afraid you are going to run away from me and that is the last thing I ever want in my life. Now, tell me why did you run away from me?" he asked in a husky voice once he had me caged between his body and the glass wall as I was left with n
Last Updated : 2023-09-30Love Against All Odds Chapter 6: I accept the offer
Emily FosterI believed that my survival capabilities, which included great strength while raising up Lilly, were something worth acknowledging. It was a bitter lesson that I had learned by then that people were not worth trusting because they let you down. It was a hard lesson exemplified by my ex-husband; he had shattered my trust and left me with a broken heart to mourn for the life I once knew.When I walked out of my boss Jared's office holding my hands shaking with fear Lucas Bennett's business card, it appeared to me that another tough decision was ahead of me. Time was running out, and with a mere 5 hours left for decision-making, I got an offer to work with Lucas on his graphic design company’s project. This would be an ideal chance to reach my financial goals within only half a year, though, at a heavy cost.There was a niggling suspicion at the back of my mind that Lucas had been more fascinated with me than with my professional skills. I felt vulnerable and exposed after h
Last Updated : 2023-09-30Love Against All Odds Chapter 7: The Attraction is there
Emily FosterJust as the sun set, there was a knock at my apartment door. When I opened it, Lucas stood there immaculately dressed in an expensively tailored suit. He had a commanding presence, and I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach.“Emily,” he whispered, grinning and genuinely pleased, as I put an effort into trying to look good for our meeting.“Let’s get down to business,” I said, still maintaining my poise. I invited him to come and sit down on one side while I sat opposite him. Lucas, who was frowning, moved closer to him as if in deep thought.“Okay, Emily, let us be formal in this conversation since we are just talking about the project.”I nodded and started mentioning my conditions. These conditions were strictly enforced: a firm work schedule, clear communication boundaries, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect any information about the project. I was not taken away by his glance anywhere else, as Lucas listened keenly."Yes, Emily, I accept all your con
Last Updated : 2023-09-30Love Against All Odds Chapter 8: Beginning of something good
Emily FosterI left Lucas in the kitchen with a crooked smile and walked to Lily’s room to assist her in getting dressed up. There arose within it a warmth, that couldn’t be denied, and I felt that possibly there was something else in Lucas apart from what met the eyes. However, I had to proceed slowly, as I had learned from my experience not to be too quick in making decisions.“Alright, Sweetie,” I informed Lily as I entered her room. “Uncle Lucas is taking us out for dinner.” What will you be wearing?It caused Lily’s face to cheer up. “I would like to wear my nice dress, Mommy, the one that has flowers on it.”“That’s perfect!” I assisted her in choosing that particular dress. While getting her dressed, I could not fail to discern the happiness that shone in her eyes. She liked Lucas very much indeed, which was really touching.As soon as Lily was done, we went back to the kitchen, where Lucas was waiting. When he realized it was us, his face beamed with gladness. I perceived a re

Love Against All Odds Chapter No.86
Lucas Bennett:-"No...no, Lillian...Our baby...." I woke up screaming in fear when someone shook me and opened my eyes to look at the nurse standing in front of me. I looked around my surroundings and realized I was sitting in the waiting room and fell asleep. What I saw was just a dream. Not real."Mr. Bennett, your wife and the baby are doing fine now. Her blood pressure and stress level was beyond high when she was brought over here, but we have stablized her and the baby now. You can go and meet them. Your wife is asking for you."A feeling of relief flooded my system like a harmonic wave and momentarily stunned me. I inhaled and exhaled as hard as I could while attempting to banish the nightmare’s panic that still ensued in my mind. The nurse’s words played on repeat: They’re fine. Lillian and the baby are both in good health.I stood up from the chair and tried to steady my legs as I walked down the hall behind the nurse. As I walked towards her room, I felt as if I was conqueri
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.85: The Baby Loss
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
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.84: Giving In to Desire
Lillian:-"Or else I will forget that I love you and go for the mission that is left unfinished." I threatened "Yes, I still feel this burning fire of rage inside of me. I want to kill your brother and your father for defending him, hiding him after finding out what he did.Your father knew that he murdered a woman, and yet still he protected him. All this time I thought he was protecting you, because I didn't know about this twinie thing. But, now that I do. I will go after my target. I am going to kill your twin, Lucas. I am going to snatch him away the same way he snatched my sister away.That's the problem, Lucas. You are just thinking about the pain you are feeling because of my betrayal, but you have to understand that I didn't betray you. I didn't know about Liam. You can hold me accountable because now I don't care. You spending and sleeping with Isabelle was the last call. All this time I was punishing myself for hurting you, when you don't even see or feel my pain.You are n
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.83: Don't touch me
Lillian Montigue:-I stormed in the house in anger after Lucas's actions and heard him follow me. How dare he talk to that man rudely when he was just trying to help me out? 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
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.82: Lucas's Jealousy
Lillian Montigue:-I was done crying the whole day. For the whole day Lucas after breakfast, he hasn't return. I bet he has fucked Isabelle several times by now. 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
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.81: Isabelle's Visit
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
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.80: One step Forward
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.
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.79: The threat Call
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
Love Against All Odds Chapter No.78: The Temptation
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. There were moments of fury and arousal all
