I kept myself from reflecting on my knowledge about the divorce.I knew it would happen when so I opened my mouth to tell Brian that the baby wasn't his. I knew he was going to dump my mother like the lightest thing he ever had without emotions.It was clear their relationship was collapsing before she even told him about her pregnancy, and it was the idea of the Blacks having another heir that held their marriage together.I pretended to gasp to show my shock at the news as if I knew about it already. I could see how Maria looked at me suspiciously. I mean she was here two days again when my mother had stormed in and tried to kill me. I looked away from her so she wouldn’t see the look in my eyes.“Did you know about these?” Lucas asked me and I grinned as I shook my head.“No, I wasn’t aware of such”, I voiced out as I played with my fingers.“I can remember your mother going wild at the wedding. Was there any valid reason why she would behave like a tray?” He asked and I shook my
Lucas tried to gladly hold me but I wouldn't let him, I was still pissed off at what he had done and I could see him heave a sigh.“Look, I am sorry for the way I acted but this is our honeymoon isn’t it best to begin it with love and bliss,” he said and I looked at him in shock. He just apologized to me, and the mighty Lucas apologized to me without much thought.He didn't want him giving him attitude, or acting as fuck, and now he has requested I leave everything behind and of course that was what I was going to do, it was what was best at the moment that I leave the grudges behind and focus on what lay in front of me.“You have caused me many wounds for more than four Two hours and I have taken them lightly, I do hope that you take it easy for me, the stress isn't good for my pregnancy,” I told him and I could see his eyes flick to my belle as he got on his knees.I was shocked at first and so were the men around us, as we were Standing a the front of the door, and several men surr
It was quiet all through the ride to the airport, Lucas didn't say a word and so did I. I wasn't in the mood to talk right now after what I had seen.I thought I didn't love him, I thought I didn't care. But no I broke my promise and cared when I was not supposed to. My heart beat With fear when I saw the guns all pointed at him, ready to take his life and I didn't want that.It wasn't because I feared for his life, or anything else but it was because I was still in love with him, I was in love with a man who broke me time and time again when I gave him my heart.I was in love with a man, who didn't care about me at all but the fact he found out about the child in my womb hurt more than anything, the words he said to me, the way he slammed the door against my face when I needed him the most, it hurt so much I could feel myself shaking all through the raise to the airport.I knew one thing for sure, I would bury this love, it would never come to light, I would never pursue it, it was to
The ride was eleven hours long, just as the flight attendant had informed me. And by the time we were in Hawaii, I was exhausted.Lucas didn’t stress me and we were taken To the private villa he had here, where I slipped into a peaceful sleep throughout the night with Lucas by my side.As I slowly woke to the gentle light of dawn filtering through the curtains, I felt the warmth of my Lucas beside me. See me she didn’t leave for me in an empty bed at night.His arm draped over my waist, pulling me closer, and his soft voice whispered, "Did you sleep well, love?"I nodded, a sleepy smile tugging at my lips. "Yes, I did, you Dupree me e by bent in bed by this time of the day," I murmured, turning to meet his gaze.He smiled back, his eyes crinkling at the corners.“You have me all to yourself this honeymoon,” he teased and I smiled in response to his words.But before we could exchange any more words, a sharp knock on the door shattered the quietness of the morning.I felt a sudden wave
He glared at me and I swallowed a lump in my throat, as he glared at me. My heart beat fast in my chest, I had fucked up so badly, and now I can oy hope to survive the consequences of what and done.“What the fuck was that?” He growled and I looked at him like a deer caught in the light, he was angry not he was mad.Even his cock has gone lame, as if the idea of sex was dead to him and I knew it was, the idea was dead to him, I had messed that up and now he would torment me for it.“I’m sorry it was an accident “ I mumbled as I sat up, his hands moved like they were about to hit me and I held my face ready for the impact but he froze as he placed his hands on my head.“Look at me” he ordered and I looked up at him without hesitation to avoid any sort of consequences.“I try to make love to you and you have the mind to moan your stepbrother's name when I am having sex with you,” he said. As I shook my head at him, even though I knew it was foolish to hear me loud and clear I had foolish
Third POVFlashback eventAs Brian walked out of the church, his heart was pounding in his chest. He could still hear Ariana's words echoing in his mind, the shocking revelation she had made about his wife, Susan. It was like a whirlwind of emotions, swirling inside him, threatening to engulf him in confusion and disbelief.Susan rushed out after him, her concern etched on her face as she reached out to hold him. "Are you okay, love?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry.Brian turned to glare at her, his eyes burning with anger and betrayal. He couldn't believe what Ariana had told him, couldn't fathom that his wife could be keeping such a devastating secret from him. "Your daughter just exposed to me the most hideous truth," he snapped at Susan, his words dripping with venom.Susan's eyes narrowed at his tone, but she maintained her composure. "And what would that be?" she asked, her voice soft, but with a hint of apprehension."That you are not carrying my heir," Brian blurted out
Ariana POVI froze as I saw her, she looked different. It had been a long time since he saw her this way. I could tell she lost a couple of weight, and she looked worn out.As soon as she saw me, her face lit with a smile as she came towards me, I made no move as she walked to me, and hugged me, I knew she came with nothing but trouble. I had my life to figure out and now here she comes with a fresh dose of trouble again.“My child, look how beautiful you look You glowing,” she complimented me as she hugged me, I didn't react, for someone who wanted to kill me weeks ago she was far too nice and I hated it already.“What do you want,” I blurted out, and she gave me a soft smile.“That’s no way to talk to your mother child,” she teased me with a small laugh and I remained silent.Just then Maria walked into the living room as she glared at my mother with so much hate in her eyes.“You have seen her and I think you have overstayed your welcome. It's high time you leave,” Maira opted in a
I stood there as I nobbed her, we couldn’t talk here as I knew her word we’re gonna be filled with threats and so much more, and of course what would I do when she had something against me?I stopped a maid to ask where the bags were taken cause I didn’t think, Lucas wouldnt want to be sharing a room with me after what happened and i was informed my room was fixed and was back toUse, i was happy at least i would have my own privacy.As I walked into my room, I could feel my mother's presence behind me, her gaze scanning the room. "Wow, they fixed it back real good," she remarked, her voice dripping with a hint of sarcasm. I clenched my jaw, avoiding glaring at her; her words were already provoking enough. She destroyed the room, and now she was complementing it."So, let's talk," she said, sinking into the nearest seat while I remained standing, feeling the tension crackling in the air. Her smirk only added fuel to the fire of irritation brewing within me."What do you want?" I snap
