All Chapters of An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Rae’s POVThe wedding was tomorrow and I was having jitters about the whole thing already. My mother had tried to assure me that it was pretty normal to be worried but I didn’t know if she was trying to pacify me or if she did mean it. Either way, my nerves were a wreck and Lyra wasn’t here with me because she had something to sort out on my behalf and she didn’t want to stress over it. While I appreciated the gesture, I wanted her to be here for me now that I needed her the most. I hadn’t seen Gunner for the past three days and I hadn’t seen Lucas for longer either which was good for both parties. I heard a knock on the door and I jumped out of the bed, rushing to the door, hoping that it was Lyra on the other side of the door. “Lyra, you owe me, and don’t think—“ I began as I opened the door, only to stop short as I saw who was standing on the other side of the door. “Well, I’m sorry but I’m not Lyra or whoever you were expecting to see.” Gunner smiled at me. “I thought I wa

Rae’s POV“Well, I don’t see how my marriage would be any of your business, father,” Gunner yelled. “You tried to take her away from me for months but you failed and now, this ruse is over.” “You may think you have it under control but you’ll soon realize that you don’t and when that happens, I’ll be waiting to clean up your mess as I’ve always had,” Lucas yelled back.“I wish you’d have a little more faith in me because if you do, you’ll know I have this under control and you wouldn’t be standing here trying to second-guess every choice I make because you can’t handle the fact that Rae is mine now.” “You think this has anything to do with Rae, Gunner?” “You’re going to stand there and lie to my face that you’re not making up all of these stories because you’re pissed about the fact that I’m getting married to Rae tomorrow and there’s nothing you can do to stop it?” “I’ve accepted my fate and I’ve made peace with it,” Lucas answered. “That’s all you need to know and all you need t

Lucas’ POVI hated the fact that I had spoken to Gunner in such a despicable manner but I didn’t have any choice considering what we stood to lose if he couldn’t cover up his tracks properly. I had scorned Rae once and she decided to marry Gunner to spite me. What would she do if she ever found out that Gunner had lied to her about being gay right from the start?I didn’t want to think about it but I knew all too well that hell hath no fury like a scorned woman and I didn’t want me or anything related to be to be caught in the crossfire when things came crashing down. “You look like you’re about to murder someone, Lucas.” Damian chuckled, forcing me to stare at him as he interrupted my moment of reflection. “What gave you that notion in the first place, Damian?” I scowled. “There,” Damian pointed at my face. “There’s that murderous glint in your eyes that only appears when you’re in the red zone. Where have you been all night, Lucas?” “I had to straighten out a few things ahead of

Lucas’ POV“What plan are you talking about, father?” Gunner asked, his whole attention on me. Damian had his eyes on me as well. We had emptied the room and it was just us left inside. “For starters, I once had a feeling that someone was going to try and mess with Rae when she becomes a part of this family and I knew I had to do something to stop it from happening but if I couldn’t, I had to set up protective measures in the event that it happened.”“You know where Rae is?” Damian asked me, unsure about his answer. “Close, you’re close. I know how we can track her and find out exactly where she is.” I answered. “How did you manage to pull that off?” Gunner asked. “There’s no tracking device implanted in her car, I’ve checked it already after seeing the CCTV footage.”“That’s because the tracking device is in her earrings, her favorite ones.” “She always wears them and she wore them tonight,” Gunner’s eyes widened in realization as I nodded. “I’ve got an IT guy coming over in the

Rae’s POVI saw Laila pull out the gun but I was too weak to move my limbs or to shout. All I could do was close my eyes and wait for the cold hands of death to envelop me. Within that split second, I heard Lucas shout and my eyelids fluttered open to see him running towards me. He had seen the gun being pulled out and trained at me. I knew what he was about to do and I suddenly found my voice. It's funny what fear can do to you but it was too late to stop him. Lucas managed to get in front of me at the same time that Laila squeezed the trigger hitting Lucas in his stomach. Lucas groaned as he hit the floor, bleeding profusely. I raised my head to see Gunner engaged with Lyra, who was trying her best to prevent him from going across to Laila who had raised the gun at me again, a sick Amalie plastered on her face as she relished the chance to kill not just one but two people tonight. Before she could squeeze the trigger for the second time tonight, I heard a gunshot from behind me
