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 h
Rae’s POV Lucas and I stood on the shores with the villagers, talking and exchanging goodbyes with everyone. The whole village had come out to say goodbye and I felt pleased. As soon as we heard the blast of a ship from the waters, the villagers knew it was time to leave and they scurried away quickly. They hated being seen by outsiders so I understood why they did that. I was left with Lucas standing next to me as I stared straight ahead, eagerly waiting for the ship to dock so I could put considerable distance between myself and Lucas. It had been difficult standing next to him and acting like we were so in love while we were exchanging our goodbyes with the villagers. He had tried on several occasions to touch me or hold me by my waist, but each time, I expertly maneuvered my way away from his touch. He had yet to understand that I was now repulsed by him and everything that had to do with him. There was no way in hell I was going to let him use me like he had done du
“This is one of the best news I’ve ever received in my life, father.” Gunner gushed as he quickly downed a glass of whiskey. “I can’t categorically pinpoint what it is but I know something about Rae has changed,” Gunner added. “This wasn’t the Rae I used to know about two weeks ago.” Lucas remained silent as he swirled the contents in his cup absentmindedly. He hadn’t been able to sleep properly last night, thoughts of Rae, his betrayal, and what she had wanted to speak to him and Gunner about kept him up for most of the night. His first thought was that she wanted to tell Gunner about what transpired between them but he had quickly discarded that notion. Rae was anything but gullible and he knew she wouldn’t want to do that. When she had said she wanted to marry Gunner as fast as she could, Lucas didn’t know what to make of it. He couldn’t remember the last time he had been stunned to silence but Rae had brought that upon him with what she had requested. “Have you been li
90Lucas felt himself being swept around by waves and he regained his consciousness. He found himself in a small local beach and after sitting up, he found Rae just by his side and he ran over to get her. He was glad to see that she was okay, but she was unconscious. She hit her head hard. Lucas, knowing that a village must be somewhere around the seashore, and since the seashore looks like it was recently used, he concluded to find the village to safe himself and Rae.When he was thinking of the exact route he would take, some fishermen came to the shore to fish. They were afraid when they saw Lucas with a woman who looked death, the position they found them made everything more complicated. (Lucas was crouching over Rae. A clueless person who think that he was strangling her).Lucas got into serious argument with them (you can form a small fight among them). Lucas was able to convince them when he proof to them that Rae was with him. (You're the only one that know how to do that). T
Author’s POVMaya's eyes suddenly widened as she realized one thing Lucas lived more than himself was his reputation and there was no way he was going to react rashly outside under the scrutiny eyes of everyone.“Lucas Dear…” she began and Lucas' rage grew, if possible.Regardless she took steps backwards before dying while flagging down an invite that looked so similar to the one on the others hand. “I was invited Lucas and it’s funny how poor your memory is becoming faint” Gm“You seem very careless to dare show your smelly ass here and then threaten me to keep you still”His attention was called so he nodded at Gunner to hold her still while he welcomed in guests“Well hello you both don’t look happy to see me” Maya said instead ignoring Lucas’s glare and Gunner’s question.Lucas would tell her to leave through clenched teeth abd would show her his dangerous stare but Laila would not listen, knowing fully well that Lucas would not lose control because of his business partners that
Isabelle's pov He quickly turned and saw me. "That business can't be discussed at home, I will see you at the office." He said and ended the call. Oh, it was a business conversation. "Honey, why were you standing behind me?" He asked with a little laugh. "Why would I be standing behind you, i was just heading downstairs then you turned and looked at me," I explained to him. "That’s not a problem." He laughed. "I hope you slept well?" He asked me and moved closer to me, rubbing my hair."Yes, I did," I replied, I wanted to pick up the courage to tell him about the pregnancy but I couldn't. I need to tell him soon enough before it's too late. "Let's go have dinner, we haven’t eaten all day, and that's not good for your health." He said and held my hand, we both stood up and moved to the dining room. He is such a sweet man, if only he hadn't left me that night all these wouldn’t have happened. I would have been in the sweetest, most beautiful marriage with no misunderstandings.
Three days ago. Lucas could feel himself losing his mind and he hated feeling like this but there was nothing he could do at this point other than pray for a silver lining in the sky. He had been waiting for this moment for a rather long time now and it wasn’t forthcoming. Looking for Rae was driving him crazy and he didn’t want to fill his mind with terrible thoughts about what could’ve possibly happened to her, that would mean he was losing faith and he didn’t want that to happen. He had hired a couple of private investigators and placed a huge price for whoever would be the first man to track down Rae. He didn’t mind paying top dollar for the information he sought, she was worth it and more. “Do you think we’re going about this the right way?” Lucas asked as he stared at the screen. He had been through this same process several times over and he hadn’t managed to find any clue yet which was rather frustrating. “You think we’ve been barking up the wrong tree for several days
