Lucas could feel it deep in his heart that his son was about to be roped into a life of misery by Rae as she wanted to punish him and he didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t stand by and watch the woman of his dreams go to someone else. Lucas gulped down on the cup of whiskey in his hand as he leaned into the chair and shut his eyes as he reminisced about the past couple of days. *** Three weeks ago The next couple of days were an eye-opener to Lucas. Previously, he didn’t know Rae to be a clingy person but the past few days had made him realize that she was. She was always next to him at all times, barely letting him leave her line of sight for more than five minutes. He had first thought she was scared of being alone but he eventually figured out that she didn’t want anyone coming near him, especially the ladies who hadn’t stopped trying to woo him despite knowing who Rae was to him. “Tell me something, Lucas.” Rae began. “Why are they all over you? Did something happen w
It had been an awkward night and Lucas couldn’t figure out how things would spiral from here on. He had been so close to breaking a promise he made to himself and he could feel his guard coming down faster than he could blink and there was nothing he could do about it. If anything, he couldn’t deny the fact that the attention she was showering on him was getting to him, and if she continued at this pace, he would surely lose his self-control and make love to her. He couldn’t remember the last time he had been in such a brain-wrecking situation when it came to a woman before. He hadn’t felt his heart racing in years simply by being touched neither had he wanted any woman as much as he wanted Rae right now. He kept on thinking if he was doing the right thing and it was difficult for him to differentiate between lust and duty at this point. He turned towards Rae who was sleeping soundly next to him and brushed off the strands of hair that had fallen across her face. In many ways
Rae was determined to make it work tonight. She had been worried about why he had refused to sleep with her but she wasn’t going to wait for him to make the first move anymore, she was done waiting. As soon as they got home, she quickly changed into red lingerie. “How did you get those?” Lucas asked, his eyes wide as he stared at her. “I had help from my friends,” Rae replied, as she walked up slowly to him. “You’ve been running for so long, not tonight, Lucas.” She started to grind against him and he held her close and tight. She didn't know if it was the alcohol she had taken at the local eatery but for some reason, she felt safe and wild with him. Her body was performing fireworks and she knew she wanted a piece of him. She turned to face him and he looked at her and he pulled her in for a kiss. One that lasted passionately for about a minute. He pulled back. "Come on, Rae. Come with me." Rae nodded weakly and held his hand tightly as he guided them to the bed where s
Lucas opened his eyes to a flurry of mixed emotions. The sex last night had blown him out of the waters, it was beyond what he had imagined in all ramifications and it made him giddy with excitement. Despite the numerous times he had sex with her in his head and with his eyes, it had gone beyond his expectations when they finally had sex for the first time. The sex was addicting, he rounds himself wanting more—wanting here, even at this moment. He was struggling to control himself and the urge raging inside of him. Rae was still his daughter-in-law, despite everything that was going on between them and the lie he had told her which had led to all of these happening. Even though Gunner wasn’t showing the slightest sign of affection towards her and he had no intention of making her his wife, she was still engaged to him. Lucas was thinking of shutting down the engagement between Gunner and Rae. He knew that Gunner wouldn’t mind even if he did, he would be relieved and he woul
The rest of the morning had gone quite well and Lucas spent the rest of the day trying to get ready for his journey to the city tomorrow. He had been putting it off for so long that it was finally time to sort it out and go back to his life. He had been here for what? Nearly two weeks? It was more than a proper vacation for him and Rae as well. He was fortunate to get everything set up and ready for his departure tomorrow. Luckily for him, there was a truck coming to the village tomorrow to take a shipment of fish down to the city, Joe had told him that he could join the truck by the time they were set to head back to the city. Lucas had often wondered what the state of his estate would be at this point. Would they have considered him dead and moved on with their lives or are they still carrying on the search for him, determined to find him by any means necessary? There was only one way he would be able to find out and that was by heading home as soon as possible. The next m
After several hours of being stuck at the back of a truck with several boxes of fish, Lucas eventually got to the city. He couldn’t remember when he had ever been in a situation that required him to use public transportation and he hated every minute that he had spent in the truck. He had been forced to share a metal bench with several others which meant that they were sitting next to each other with no space between them. Lucas felt like he was suffocating and how he had managed to survive the entire journey had been a miracle. During the journey down to the city, all he could smell was fish and he knew that the smell was on him already after being in the truck for hours. Fortunately, the truck driver had been kind enough to show him where he could bathe and take the smell off him before he ventured into the city. Lucas swore not to ever put himself in such a situation before. He didn’t know how he would get home but if it required him to rent a whole truck for himself, he w
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 I had planned everything I wanted to say to Lucas when I regained my memory. I had drafted a long speech that I had dedicated just for him to show him how inhumane and selfish he was. I wanted him to feel the pain that I felt, I wanted him to know that he shouldn’t have played me for a fool for nearly two weeks for his amusement. My first instinct had been to tell everyone about what he had done. I wanted him to suffer, I wanted him to feel the pain that I left deep in my chest that it was difficult for me to breathe properly at certain moments. I spent the whole day envisioning how to punish him and make him suffer so that I couldn’t bring myself to sleep. I knew he was going to tell me about how they were here because the villagers thought that they were a couple and it made me rethink my revenge plan. I didn’t know if he was bluffing or telling me another lie so I racked my head and tried to piece the whole puzzle together. The women in the village could hardly
