Raegan’s POVThe anger mixed with envy or should I say jealousy was feeling threatened to consume me as a whole and the more I laid down in my mess, the more the paranoia of being watched crept into it.I just wanted to see if there was a red light I had missed in a hurry while anger had controlled me when searching for the first.If I was being completely honest with myself, I don’t know which one of the events made me angry, the fact that I had found spyware in my room or he had asked me out when his slut has commanded, or the fact that she was in his room…on his bed!I laughed at myself as I realized what I was asking of him…the more I stayed in this house, the more it tried messing with me and my thinking.What was I even expecting? For my soon-to-be father-in-law to be faithful to me when I'm getting married to his son soon?The more I reminisced on what I had walked into the more it felt like my anger will consume me whole.Memories from the day I had caught them in the act flas
Raegan’s POVAs the phone rang my heart thumped harder and all of the negative emotions filled me causing me to hang up as the person had picked up.I wasn't sure about this, maybe there was another way to go about this. It almost felt like I was about to tread on a path so dangerous.The devil I knew was far much better than the angel I didn't know.So many what-ifs filled me and looking at the phone as the number called back I thought against joining the fight against Lucas.The number called for a while before stopping just as though Gunner came in.“Oh you are done??” he asked frowning as she stared at his call log, “Did you even make a call yet?”.“I couldn't” I started looking away from him, I too couldn't believe that I was rethinking betraying a man that cared less about me.“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked me and I immediately opened up to him.Starting from when I was kidnapped to the offer they had presented and my attempt to pass a message to Lyra which she would he
Raegan’s POV I could feel his eyes lingering on Gunner's hand which lay on my lower back in a bid to maintain my composure.I kept on telling myself to relax but it wasn't possible because I knew that if we were caught now we’d escape Lucas's wrath.I didn’t know what exactly Lucas was involved in but I was certain he wasn’t being called dangerous for the fun of it.If Gunner was eager to pull down his empire in order not to inherit it then it was as bad as the mafia.“Do you want me to chant ‘you can do it’ in your ear so you can loosen up your shoulders!” Gunner asked before stopping to face me with his pals plastered on my chin, “Or do you want to stop here?”I knew what he was doing, showing Lucas little gestures of affection so he could probably look away but knowing Lucas, he didn’t.I shook my head and smiled at him. If only Gunner wasn’t gay…marrying him wouldn’t be so bad, he was everything a girl would ever wish for.He opened the car and helped me in before driving out.I t
Raegan’s POVI watched the faces of the men immediately morph into fear and the one that specifically bullied me.“Boss!” he greeted as the man stood in his front only for him to receive a slap that echoed across the halls causing a gasp to escape my mouth.The man immediately fell to the floor but the boss in question walked away from his kneeling figure before saying, “You will pay for this embarrassment later on!”“Hi, I'm West…the man you have been communicating with on the phone” he introduced with his outstretched hand which I met halfway.The man that had kidnapped me.As he led me to a corner, I couldn't help but be curious as to why his mood had turned from I'd kill you to I'm happy to see you.We sat down and he began explaining how Lucas was a bad man and his antiques in the crime world.The more stories he told, the more I became scared of the man I was staying under his roof and how little I knew of him.Just as he let me speak, I questioned “Why me though, you could have
Raegan’s POV“Oh hey” I sarcastically greeted quite were of the watchful eyes that were being thrown my way now and then. Our stance wasn't very appropriate, I must say.“That doesn't answer my question woman,” he said as I tried removing my hands from his.I thought of something corky and insulative to say but I thought otherwise as he didn't seem like he was being mean but rather acting all friendly.Moreover, the maids around still had their heads bowed as though they were awaiting further instructions although I could still feel the scrutiny of their gazes.Judging and condensing, not that I cared at all.“Nothing, I'd just like to cook what I would like to eat, I am starving,” I said before slowly removing my hand from his tight grip.Lucas almost seemed like a bipolar person with the way his mood changed in the blink of an eye. Just a while ago he was fuming and being an overprotective father-in-law and now…he was smiling at me.He dismissed the maids and sitting down on the ki
Raegan’s POVUnlike what I had expected Gunner hadn't arrived immediately I had called him and I couldn't help but wonder what part Gunner played in all this.To think of it, he wasn’t playing any part then aided me betray his dad and also advising me to ruin his father's empire.To think of it, it was selfish of him and it was almost like this wedding was up to me to save, if only he could just come clean and tell his dad of his sexuality rather than subjecting me to all these.“What are you waiting for?” I heard Lucas ask looking all dressed up, “heading out?” I asked him instead before my face morphed into a scowl as I saw the lady behind him.She wore a smirk that I wanted to wipe off her face.“I want to drop her off, so what are you doing in the kitchen? Another food preparation?” He asked and it almost sounded like he was teasing but I didn’t care rather I was busy eyeing up the bitch behind him.‘Dropping the slut off looking all dressed up like that!’ I found myself almost ask
Raegan’s POV“It's no secret that he never understood me and whenever we had a clash I was careful not to reveal how much he had hurt me for never being there for me” he continued sadly.“Sometimes I felt that I was the child he never wanted”.“You should have seen your face!” Gunner suddenly exclaimed, turning off the suspense that was in the air in a matter of seconds.I joined him in laughing but I could see beneath that fake smile the pain that lay underneath.It seemed as though he had just realized that he was talking too much and decided to playfully move it to the side.I wasn't going to push because it was obvious that the subject made him uncomfortable and I understood…at least to an extent.In silence we walked towards a room that had the tag, ‘keep off’ in its front and with a sigh he opened it.It wasn't just a room, deep down I was expecting a room that would have his mother laying down looking all sick and maybe on life support but no…it was a studio.An art studio…a bea
Raegan’s POVI smiled sadly at him and felt his smile flatter, we both had our hopes on this.“No, can you ask you a question, though?” I asked, and his eyes lit up, he knew I wasn’t telling him everything and I guess that is why he was eager to work.“You never showed me his office and bedroom, though”“As much as I am to take over, Lucas is yet to trust me with the paperwork because he knows how much I detest his line of work”.“He's so strict about the business that his office is inside his room and no one is allowed in there although once upon a time, His slut was, but now NO ONE!”“He has me handling the clean part of the company while Lucas handles the dirty part that involves money laundry, drugs, guns, and stirring up bad blood”.“I'm guessing he wanted to protect me as much as he could, that's why he kept me away and all affairs of the business were only known by him alone”I almost asked him, how else is he going to take over if he wasn't being carried along but thought again
