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
I woke up to the soft light filtering through the curtains, my head pounding with the remnants of sleep. As I stirred, the door creaked open, and Maria entered, her cheerful voice slicing through the fog of my drowsiness. "Oh, you're finally up," she exclaimed, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes to banish the remnants of sleep, from my eyes."Good morning," I greeted her, forcing a smile despite the heaviness in my limbs. I had gone to bed late last night after I spent the day watching a movie, and had gone to bed fast.Since my mother left, I hadn't stepped out of my room. And had my meals delivered to me in my room. No one disturbed me and I was happy for the peace I had, as I spent the day watching movies to wipe away time and ease the boredom I felt at the moment."How are you doing, dear?" Maria's voice was filled with genuine concern as she approached the bed, her eyes searching mine for any signs of discomfort. "Fine," I replied automat
I stayed in for a couple of hours, and when it was two hours to be exact I crawled out of my bed and out of my room after taking a quick bath. I crept out of my room, the fear of Maria catching me sent a chill up my spine in fear. I darted through the halls, my heart racing until I finally reached the main doors. I scanned the driveway, searching for my driver amidst the vehicles in the garage , soon I spotted him, and I hurried over, my urgency masked beneath a facade of calm, I didn’t want anyone to see through me and see my fears come to light. "Are you ready, miss?" he asked, his voice low and respectful. "Yes," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. "Take me to the hospital."I added “I could but I have strict instructions to leave the premises with a guard, your guard, the boss wouldn’t want you going out there unprotected and would have my head if he found out you did so.,” he tighter and I sighed. I knew the guard he was taking off, the large hulk of a man cove
