There was no applause, no words of congratulations, only a heavy silence that hung in the air. It was a stark contrast to what I had imagined for my wedding day, but I knew that this was the reality of our situation. Mafias weren’t cheerful people and I could see from their Fred code, that nearly everyone was in a Black outfit or sitting dark that wouldn’t attract attention.Men in suits stood guard all around and I knew they were armed, I saw a few black people and many tattooed people who sat around some were looking bored of being there, and some rolled their eyes at Lucas's statement.I let out a small smile, as I held Lucas's hand. With Lucas's help, I descended the stairs, the weight of his words lingering in my mind and what I had just seen, this was my life now, one that may be filled with boredom and distress.As soon as my feet hit the ground, I was immediately surrounded by men in suits, eager to engage him in conversation, or more like eager to engage Lucas in a conversat

“He wanted to ….” I froze as I thought about what to say at that moment about what Damien wanted of course, I knew one wrong word would put me in serious issues with Lucas, he wasn’t one to mess with.“I told you to stay the fuck away from him, and you,” Lucas said as he held himself while gripping his fist.“This is our wedding party, why couldn’t you just listen? “ he growled as he walked around. I stood silent as I watched him express his anger.“I leave you for one second and already back laughing with the one person I warned you not to ever interact with,” he said, he walked towards me held my cheek, and pressed them together, I closed my eyes to hold back the pain.“If I ever see you next to him again,” he whispered before we were interrupted by a man who came into the room.“Boss” he called out and I turned to look at a big man already covered in tattoos, his eyes were fixed on Lucas and he refused to pay any attention to me.“What is it?” Lucas growled out at him as he glared

I stirred in bed, my eyes slowly opening to reveal an unfamiliar room. Confusion clouded my mind until the memories of last night flooded back, and I realized I was in Lucas’s room.Panic set in as I tried to piece together what had happened. I looked at the expensive couch where he had ducked the girl last night and I could still hear her scream from there. It was like she was here with me and I could hear her.Lucas irritated me, and I hated him with every bone in my body for what he did, and how he saw me and treated me but I knew one thing he was my husband now and the best I could do was to endure.Before I could delve deeper into my thoughts, a wave of nausea hit me like a freight train, and I stumbled out of bed, racing towards the bathroom, while holding my stomach.My stomach churned as I leaned over the toilet, retching until there was nothing left but bile. Pregnancy was indeed a heavy burden for me to bear, it was crazy that I would be seeing a tiny human in a few months.

I looked at her in horror and she looked at me with guilt, I didn’t know what to say as she watched me see my reaction. I mean, my best friend just slept with my stepfather who Kay found out and my mother had been lying to him.“I didn’t know how to feel about that, at all. And she just said that want all, what in the world could be added to the face she just ducked Damein father.“Why do you seem so scared it happened of course, I ain’t mad, I am in a more complicated situation than this, this is just a piece of cake and you have nothing to worry about what happened,” I tried to encourage her, she held my hand as she looked at me.“What?”I asked her.“I said that not all”, she whispered and I could see fear in her eyes, something told me I wouldn’t like what she was about to say but how would I say no to hear what she had to say?“Spill The tea,” I requested.“I wasn’t the only one yesterday in the villa, it appears we were caught by someone else,” she added and I raised my eyebrow

As I stirred from my slumber, a heaviness lingered in my limbs, dragging me back into consciousness.Blinking against the dim light filtering through the curtains, I surveyed the room, recognition dawning slowly. I was back in the familiar confines of the room I had woken up in earlier, surrounded by boxes packed with my belongings from the Black mansion.How i had gotten here i couldn't tell as the last i remember was of me falling asleep in the car, maybe the guard had brought me up here but i thought i can save it was Lucas himself.Lucas would be too angry if another man touched me so it had to be him, i didn't know what to say or that, at least he cared about me.With a groan, I pushed myself up from the bed, the weight of exhaustion clinging to me like a suffocating blanket. Glancing at the clock on the wall, its hands pointed accusingly at the hour, reminding me of my tardiness. It was only four in the evening , which means I had slept for more than five hours.Realization str
