Rae’s POV My head was pounding as I ran into the dark and empty place, I needed to tell them that I was poisoned. Or could it be that I was probably running from him? I didn't know and didn't care, all I wanted was an escape, and seeing the door open I did the one thing I knew how to do best. I ran like my life depended on it because if I was going to be honest with myself, my life did depend on it. “She's awake!” I heard someone say as my eyes slowly adjusted to the bright room. I wasn't running anymore but rather I had woken up with a gasp before squinting my eyes to familiarize myself with the environment. The scent of the room almost had me throwing up. Hospitals! There was no limit to the way I hated hospitals and I wasn't about to stay here for another minute. I immediately jerked up but as my feet met the floor, it immediately gave up, and everywhere went black. “You stubborn brat” I heard someone say as my consciousness returned alongside a terrible headache. “I know
Lucas’ POV It was killing. Having to work around a hard-on every time I thought of her…getting her out of my mind was proving to be more difficult than possible. She made me feel as though I were still young, and I knew how toxic it was to get used to that. Feeling her seductive lips being smashed against mine filled my subconscious, and it took all the strength in me not to turn back. The urge to slam that sensuous work of art against any piece of nearby furniture before slamming hard inside her. I couldn't help but think if those lips could make someone like me act in this manner, and then I wondered what she would cause to dance through my veins when I tasted her. The night sent chills down my spine as I inhaled. I shouldn't be doing this at all. Tasting the forbidden fruit made it more thrilling as the chase incited my blood, but then she was Gunner's future wife. The consequences of my desire-fueled passion were sinking in, and I doubted if I needed to be in a position to
Rae’s POV I needed no soothsayer to tell me I had messed up, and he was going to be a bitch about it. Yes, he cared enough to stay with me in the hospital, and I appreciate it. I wished I had learned about it sooner, then maybe I would have kept my big mouth shut. “You have every right to be angry as I have overstepped my boundaries, but please don't send me home with him,” I urged, as he seemed hell-bent on sending me home with his guard. “It's fine, I hear, and you shouldn't be apologizing,” he shrugged, avoiding my teary gaze. I didn't understand why his lack of attention and care was affecting me this way, but I hated it. He had a hold on my emotions in a sense that I detested… I had been poisoned, and he was feigning mood swings because I had just run my mouth. There was no need to please or throw myself at him anymore. “Never mind, I'll just ride with him,” I said, interrupting his discussion with the stupid-looking guard. He scoffed and ignored me once more. He wasn't e
Rae’s POV Honestly, I didn't know if it was a trap, but seeing the look on Lucas's face, I tightened my palms around Gunner. “We don't have all morning Rae. Identify the woman who served you that morning,” he blurted, his voice sounding more sharp as his eyes glanced at my entwined hands. “It's going to be okay,” Gunner whispered before placing a peck on my head to which I sighed, having someone who had your back here was almost like holding with an angel in hell. My eyes swam over the girls who stood in front, and I could see the fear in their eyes as they avoided Lucas' blazing gaze. Just then I sighted her. She was at the end with her head bowed low. Maybe so I won't recognize her, but the poise wasn't one to miss. For a moment, her stance almost felt like she was daring me to point fingers at her and that was when fear booted in, the minute her eyes met him, and for a brief second, I was certain she had smirked, or maybe it was my paranoia speaking. Before I could point fing
Raegan's POV The evening soon came as I walked away from the day doing nothing but scrolling through my socials with Lyra reminding me of your plan. After refreshing up, I had put on the casual wear and joined Gunner, who had already knocked to inform me he was waiting. Upon arriving down, I had expected to see Lucas, but he was nowhere to be seen, cutting down hopes of being admitted by him. “You look good enough to eat,” Gunner complimented, causing me to smack him, “that's no way to compliment a woman on your first date”. We both shared a laugh and just as though his gaze had pierced through my skin, I raised my head only to meet his… Lucas. There, he stood on the balcony with his eyes watching us, almost as if he wanted to join in. He saw me, and somehow that sent thrills down my spine. Too bad it was showing to be the last time he'd seen me. I was leaving his toxic and confusing life. A tiny flood of guilt filled me as I pondered how they would feel, but feeling how I was
Raegan's POV I have no enemies, just so you know” I threw back, giving them no room to be kind to me. My kidnappers shared a laugh before saying, “You want to go home, we want to take down that flimsy son of bitch holding you down”. “Well I would have been home if you hadn't ruined my plans” I eyed them wearily but got no reaction from them. “As if, Lucas was way ahead of your plan and it would surprise you to know that he is aware you aren't at your date” “How…” “How do we know?” they asked, taking the words from my mouth, “well we know everything about Lucas, and trust us when we say you don't know him” What kind of psycho was I dealing with? Like who the fuck tells the people they had fucking kidnapped to trust them? “Raegan we need your help in bringing down Lucas” I heard them say puking me out of my thoughts causing me to burst into laughter. Longing to antagonize them, I busted into laughter whilst wondering how they thought I could be of use to them. “I can't help yo
Raegan’s POVMy heart began thinking in fear and all my attempts to escape proved to be futile.“Rather than acting out, I advise you to Lay back and relax,” one of the guards holding me out said and I did just that.What was the least he could do to me?‘It was Lucas right?’, I asked no one in particular.The worst he could ever do was to insult me for being foolish and letting my emotions get a hold of me.In the silence of the night, we drove towards a warehouse where Lucas was waiting for me, or was this another attempt by those guys to kidnap me?As soon as we arrived, I marveled at the interior of the warehouse, it looked more like a den.The look on the man's face spelled nothing friendly so I avoided holding their gazes.We walked up the stairs toward where I guessed was Lucas's office and there I was thrown on the floor to kneel in his front.I had thought it was a joke before but when I tried standing up before being held down to stay still.“Boss, we brought her,” he said to
Raegan’s POVI wanted to kill him!“Ugh!” I yelled in anger at the door that he had passed through.My shaking hands went round my neck where he had tried squeezing the life out of me.The guts of Lucas to threaten me and then stare at me like he wanted to rip out my clothes a while after.My blood boiled in anger and the fact that it was all out of my control was something that fuelled my fire.Starting from the pillow beside my room I threw it across the room and for some reason it brought joy as I could imagine Lucas being thrown around like that.I could sense a tantrum brewing in my head and soon enough I gave into it and I began throwing anything my hand could touch.He had no idea how I hated him and how much I wanted him!I hated how crazy he made me, how he would knot my tie with his eyes closed!If only…I hated how much power he had over me and he was a fool to think he was going to give in so easily, I wasn't going to give up easily.After letting out screams of frustration
