All Chapters of An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Lucas was struggling to make sense of the current situation. She looked and at the same time, she was pissed. He had left her here in good spirits and if anything had happened, it did when he had been away. This was the first time he had seen her show any sign of anger in the past two weeks and he was worried. “Did something happen, Rae?” Lucas asked again, his tone was calm, somewhat cajoling her to speak to him about what could’ve possibly gone wrong. Lucas waited for several minutes but Rae remained silent and motionless. The only thing she did was glare at him with sadness in her eyes. Lucas let out a sigh as he walked towards her. “You can talk to me, Rae, and I’ll fix whatever is wrong.” Lucas tried to reassure them as he stretched out his hand to hold but she instantly scurried away, creating enough distance between them much to his surprise. She was repulsed by the sight of him, he could figure that out now but he didn’t know why. To the best of his knowledge, he h

Rae’s POV Lucas and I stood on the shores with the villagers, talking and exchanging goodbyes with everyone. The whole village had come out to say goodbye and I felt pleased. As soon as we heard the blast of a ship from the waters, the villagers knew it was time to leave and they scurried away quickly. They hated being seen by outsiders so I understood why they did that. I was left with Lucas standing next to me as I stared straight ahead, eagerly waiting for the ship to dock so I could put considerable distance between myself and Lucas. It had been difficult standing next to him and acting like we were so in love while we were exchanging our goodbyes with the villagers. He had tried on several occasions to touch me or hold me by my waist, but each time, I expertly maneuvered my way away from his touch. He had yet to understand that I was now repulsed by him and everything that had to do with him. There was no way in hell I was going to let him use me like he had done du

Present day“If this is your way of punishing me, Gunner. I want to tell you that—““Why would you think that way, father?” Gunner cut him short. “If there’s something you’ve yet to tell me, you can open up to me so we can have a civil conversation about this.” “How difficult is it for you to listen to me?” Lucas frowned. “I am your father and I won’t lead you astray.”“My father once told me I was now capable of making my own decisions, so do not expect me to accept everything you’ve said because you said it.” Lucas was struggling to keep the truth to himself but he didn’t want to ruin his chances with his son and force him into being a bigger rebel than he already was. “Before I give you my blessings, Gunner, you need to convince me why you want to marry her. Because if you think I’m going to accept that bullshit story you’ve just told me, you’re out of your mind and you’ve underestimated me.” “What do you want to know, Father?” Gunner asked, crossing his arms on his chest. “Ev

Rae’s POVI hated feeling like shit. I hated this feeling of despair that was hanging over my head like a noose and it was all because of Lucas and his twisted desires. He had played me for a fool for several weeks and even though they had been the best moments of my life, I couldn’t just turn a blind eye to the fact that he had lied to my face for such a long time when he had the opportunity to come clean to me several times but he didn’t. A small part of me wanted to know why he saw it fit to make me his plaything but a major part of me wanted nothing to do with him ever again. He had tried to explain to me several times but I didn’t want to hear any more of his lies. Nothing was stopping him spinning a new web of lies and trapping me in it but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of that this time around. I heard a knock on my door and I hurriedly opened the door, hoping it would be the only friend I had in the pack but it was a maid. “Mr. Gunner—I’m sorry, your fiancé

Lucas’ POV I knew I was breaking the rules and codes of conduct but I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t count how many hours I’d spent going over what would happen in my head if the world ever found out that I was trying to poach my son’s fiancée right from under him. The disgrace and scandal it would bring upon my family would be catastrophic and I might not be able to come back from the shame and humiliation which was why I had to do everything to make sure I got Rae back before she went mainstream with Gunner. I’ve tried several times to speak with Rae but she’s rebuffed all my advances for the past week. I’ve sent several gifts and letters, trying to sway her mind and get her to give me just 10 minutes of her time but she’s turned down my request every time. It was unlike me but I was starting to lose my patience and rightfully so, Gunner was accelerating the marriage plans as fast as he could. He wasn’t willing to give me any space and I could respect that, I would do t
