Semua Bab An Affair With My Bethrothed's Father: Bab 61 - Bab 70

"You can't do shit!" Rae yelled and almost regretted it as Maya left with a smirk but as soon as she did, her men entered the room. She prayed for death but choose not to.shiw.hee weakness, it will only fuel Maya hate... her silence wasnt any better though. Rae's body was covered in bruises when she was in the cabin, which was evidence of how many beatings she had endured. She was obstinate and unwilling to admit her vulnerability, although appearing to be so strong on the outside. Hem, a security for Maya, came into the room carrying a tray of food for Rae. Rae could tell he was interested in her based on the way he was glancing at her and she had to use it to her advantage. “My wrists are hurting, Hem. Can you help me out?” Rae stretched out her hands towards him. “I can only loosen one of the knots.” Hem replied. “I won’t be comfortable that way, Hem.” Rae said in a seductive voice and Hem caved in. He eventually freed her both hands so she could eat, even if the fa

Rae chose to behave wisely after realizing that her miserable situation was a mess a few days later. She ate the meal Hem had given her and, although she was remorseful, she sobbed miserably at him for having made himself vulnerable to be used. Hem offered comfort to Rae. He was infatuated with her by this point and was growing increasingly resentful of his boss, Maya. He didn't even give Rae's queries any thought because he was so enamored by her beauty and would stop at nothing to make her happy. Rae, still clinging to Hem, asked him how many guards were stationed surrounding the wood and the cabin. He replied that there were fifteen, including himself. Rae initially considered conspiring with him to help her get away, but there were two factors at play. She didn't develop affections for Hem; rather, she just didn't want him to pass away because she knew how much he was taking care of her. If they were successful in their escape and Hem takes her far away from Lucas, then that wo

“I’m scared, Lucas,” Rae muttered. Her voice was barely audible but it was loud enough to get her message across to Lucas who she knew would be surprised at what she had just said. Realistically, Rae had wanted to refrain from saying anything until she was with Lucas but the knot in her stomach was becoming too painful to ignore. “You’re in one of the safest places I can think of, Rae.” Lucas began, his voice as gentle and steady as ever. “Is there something going on or are you merely being paranoid about something that doesn’t exist?” “Lucas, when have I ever given you a false alarm?” Rae frowned, feeling slightly offended that he would think of her in this manner. “I’m sorry, Rae. I didn’t mean to come off as condescending but I’m quite surprised at your displeasure.” Lucas tried to explain. “I’ve always felt you were in the right place up until this moment.” “I thought the same as well, Lucas.” Rae sighed as she massaged her temple. “But, I guess we were both wrong about eve

Lucas’ eyes went wide as he heard Rae yell on the phone and he instantly knew that she had been caught by someone. Unlike himself, Lucas panicked and he began to scream into the phone. “If you touch a strand of her hair, you will have me to contend with, I swear on my life!” Lucas screamed. “Return her to me or I will rip off your heads, this is a promise!” Lucas held back the phone and stared at the screen only to find out that the call had ended and he had been yelling to himself for about a minute. He knew Rae was in danger and something bad was going to happen to her if he didn’t take any action right now. “Guards!” Lucas yelled as he slammed his fists on the table. “I need someone in here this instant!” The door to his study was instantly opened and a guard rushed in. “You called for me, sir.” “I need you to mobilize every guard we’ve got within the next hour, we’re heading out on an operation and time isn’t on our side. We need to leave before it’s too late.” “With

Lucas could feel the waves crashing in on him. The force of the water was enough to make him slip out of his unconsciousness. His eyelids fluttered open slightly after much of a struggle and he looked around, trying to get himself familiar with his new surroundings. He instinctively knew that he wasn’t in the water anymore. Eventually, his eyes were forced open and he realized that he had washed up on a small, local beach in an area he wasn’t familiar with. He was quite content with that, Damien might not have found him yet but he wasn’t dead and that counted for something. Lucas forced himself to sit up and he suddenly remembered Rae had been in the water with him. He turned to his left to see Rae before he rushed over to where she lay on the beach. Lucas brushed away the wet strands of hair from her face as he cradled her face. Her pulse was still there but she was still unconscious. The impact from the way she had landed on the water was greater than he had anticipated and sh
