After my death my husband who threw me into the hunting grounds went insane novel

LUKE There were tons of reasons as to why I shouldnt listen to Dads inconvenient request , and I was pretty much having a great time before he called .

I could understand his attachment to Gene .

My stepmother was one of a kind and the sweetest thing that had ever happened to our lives .

I couldnt list everything shed done for us .

She was a mother to me .

Period .

However , Gene was enough .

I didnt like the idea of having a little sister .

If it were a brother , Id give it consideration .

In addition , it was quite ridiculous to give out even the slightest part of my property that I worked my ass off for to a stranger .

But since Dad asked nicely , I had no choice but to do it .

Lastly , picking up this new little sister wasnt that hard , but it was never my thing to engage myself in extra family matters .

At the airport , I didnt see her right away .

She was hard to remember .

Id only seen her once before .

All I could recall was the skinny girl with mesmerizing brown eyes .

On the other hand , its astonishing how time could change someone .

When I finally found her , she was too good to be true .

She was one of the most beautiful faces I had ever laid eyes on .

Her curves had changed through the years ; I figured she was a late bloomer .

Her breasts were full and round , stretching the fabric of her tight shirt as if they were screaming to burst out .

I groaned when she sat in the backseat .

What are you doing ? Sit in the front .

Im not your driver .

Im sorry , she mumbled , then moved into the front and buckled her seatbelt .

You remembered me , she stated , her mouth curved the slightest smile .

Oddly , she sounded familiar .

I wonder where Id heard her voice .

Yes , but dont think Im friendly .

Im doing this for Gene .

Do you understand ? Her face went from red to pale , then she nodded .

She still had the smallest face , like how I remembered her , and it was making me fucking mad , for some reason I didnt understand .

Is that how you normally communicate ? I had to ask .

W what ? No , she breathed .

Its just … This is the first time weve actually talked .

I swear Ive heard her voice before .

Yes , this is , I agreed , freeing my mind from such absurd thoughts .

I revved the engine and pulled out of the place .

SCARLET After the numerous heartaches in the past , Id learned to divide men I was attracted to into two categories .

The first category could be described as the dangerous ones .

They were men who would like to fuck and forget .

They would leave you when they were done .

Jax landed into that category the reason why I didnt want to meet him .

Then , there were the safe ones .

They were the type of men who wouldnt expect anything from you and the kind that you wouldnt get too attached to .

However , with Luke , I didnt want to put him in either of those categories .

He was my stepbrother he was supposed to be out of the picture .

But if I were to put him to any of the categories , he was precisely the man I should avoid .

Id already had a crush on him in the past , but now I wanted him .

If he were mine , Id move my hands all over him pleasure him , and whisper goodness in his ears .

His presence alone made my skin itch as if I were yearning to feel him against my body , against my inner thighs .

I imagined myself running my fingers along that strong jaw and kissing him senselessly .

I would inhale his musk wood cologne and aftershave .

His exquisite display of male beauty had me burning between my thighs .

But from the moment our eyes met , I knew I should be running .

Damn .

The thoughts scared me instantly .

Every hair on my skin stood as the witness to my fear.

Id almost forgotten that he was my stepbrother .

In instant , I thought of calling Jax to relieve the sexual tension .

Maybe later at home .

Are you going to stay here for the week ? he suddenly spoke .

Yes , Thomas asked me .

He glanced at me .

Are you staying with them ? Yes .

I tried to divert my mind by looking through the window , filling my eyes with the beauty of New York City night lights .

Actually , Id like to move up here .

At My Death Mu Uuchond Who Throw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane 11.2 % To my surprise , he nodded , and his eyes glimmered .

It makes you feel alive .

I smiled .

How so ? He didnt answer but smirked .

I heard you were in Cambridge , I went on , trying to start a proper conversation .

Im sorry , I didnt get your number to call you while youre there Its alright .

Im busy anyway .

I wont be able to meet .

I cleared my throat .

Thats what I heard .

I wouldnt mind giving you my number , though .

He flashed a sexy smile .

Youre my new little sister .

He abruptly stopped the car .

Are we home ? I looked outside , but it didnt look like Thomas house .

We had stopped in front of the posh entrance of Hotel B.

A five star hotel Luke alone owned .

A giant letter B was embossed just right above the opulent entrance .

Id heard from Mom that the B stood for Bella .

Why are we here ? I asked .

Because Dad has a plan .

He stepped out of the car first and turned around to open the door for me .

And you need to get dressed .

I stepped out of the car .

For what ? Dad didnt tell you ? He didnt say anything urgent .

No.

He studied me from head to toe .

Do you happen to have a dress ? I looked down at my casual shirt , ripped jeans , and sneakers .

I … I guess so .

I think I brought one in my suitcase .

Good .

You need to change .

Luke plucked my suitcase out of his car and dragged it with him .

I tried to catch up with him .

Hey , whats the occasion ? Its already nine and- I paused .

Wait .

Moms birthday party is tonight .

I remembered her mentioning it over the phone .

He stopped by the lobby .

You dont know a single thing , do you ? The party starts at eleven .

I frowned .

But I thought its tomorrow .

Thomas said- Stop talking .

This is the plan .

He rolled his eyes , then he dropped my suitcase on the floor .

I gasped .

Hey ! Did you just toss my- I lowered down and picked up my luggage , but when I got up , he was already gone , bag … Did he just leave me ? Since I had nowhere to go , I went to the reception and tried to book myself a room , but there was already a reservation under my name .

Luke might have had it prepared for me or maybe Thomas .

Luke was no gentleman .

Certainly , he was nothing like his father .

If only I knew he was a jerk like this , I wouldnt have fantasized him for the last six years .

I dragged my suitcase with me and stepped into the elevator as soon as I got my key card .

Good thing my room was a suite .

I freaking needed a good bath .

ches The first thing I did was dig into my suitcase and laid out the only dress I could ever bring .

A Burberry crimson backless dress with a hem above the knee and a pair of Christian Louboutin silver stilettos .

Fortunately , I had also brought my charms with me and my ruby necklace..ouched the gem with my finger and briefly admired its beauty .

$ I wasnt a greedy person , and Id never imagined myself wearing these extravagant things before Moms marriage .

Its not that I desired any of it , but when Mom married Thomas , I wouldnt deny that I also lived in luxury as a result .

My stepfather was generous .

He provided things for me .

I lived in an apartment leased in my name in Cambridge , he sent me to Harvard , gave me everything I needed not to mention he was also a good adviser .

However , there were times I wondered what Luke thought of me .

Did he think I wanted his fathers fortune ? Was that why he couldnt like me or accept me as his stepsister ? Thomas did mention that I needed to sign papers for the transfer of assets , but I didnt want any of it .

I had enough of the material things .

But who knows ? Maybe he changed his mind .

Went Insane 11.3 % 18 Enough thinking about Luke .

My mind screamed at me .

I had to get moving .

I stepped into the bathroom and had a delightful bath .

Shortly after , I slid everything on , hurriedly did a smokey eye look , and finished the evening makeup with a touch of red lipstick .

All I needed to do now was inform Thomas about my arrival at the party tonight and get myself an Uber .

However , I stopped as I noticed the blinking of my notifications .

13 missed calls from Thomas 2 missed calls from Jax and another message from him I ignored Thomas missed calls because I was a bad daughter , and I opened Jaxs message first .

Have you arrived yet ? Jax I bit my fingernail , thinking of a reply .

Yes .

I just arrived .

Thank you .

Ericka I typed another .

Can I call you later ? I need to get an Uber .

He replied right away .

Getting out already ? Good for you .

Im stuck with my family tonight ..

I giggled .

I was about to be stuck with my family , too .

Im starting to count .

Its going to be three weeks , and you still didnt find a date .

Except theres still one woman in NY right now that I havent fucked .

Just tell me if you want to advance our meet up .

Hey , I really need to go .

Im overly dressed up tonight , and I might ruin my makeup if I dont go now .

Im going to be late .

-Do you have a date ? He replied .

I didnt answer and texted Thomas instead .

On my way , Thomas .

See you later : * Scar I was about to put my phone in my purse , but my phone buzzed .

It was Jax again .

Damn it , I cursed but answered the call anyway .

What ? Im busy .

Then why did you pick up the phone ? Because the sound of my voice makes you hard , I joked .

I rolled my eyes .

Seriously , Jax .

I told you Im busy .

Funny , he said , but he didnt sound pleased at all .

You didnt answer my question .

You have a date ? Did he call just to ask me that ? So what if I have ? He groaned .

Thats not such a good idea for you to fuck someone else before me .

Cant you wait for us to meet ? Then youre free to go .

I sighed in frustration .

Dont push your possessive shit over me .

I dont know how your brain works but for someone who fucks different weekly , you had the guts to say that to me ? So , youre really going out tonight , huh ? Where are you going ? Why should I tell you ? No reason .

Im just asking .

I rolled my eyes .

Where else ? To meet my family .

Im not going on a date .

Happy now ? 12.90 After My Death My Husband Who Threw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane 11.4 % 1 Chapter 18 I thought it wasnt until tomorrow .

His tone softened .

Its a boring night for us int Mine should be heartbreaking .

I miss my mother , I said .

Its like faz grew on me .

I loved talking about personal things with him because , wike the others , he would only listen I mean literally , without talking at all .

Can I call you later ? Always .

I heard him chuckle before he finally hung up I was almost ready to head out of the suite , but my throat dried up , so I walked through the sites minibar .

To my satacom , the liquor cabinet had a full range of beverages , and it had my favorite bottle of Château Lafitte .

I grabbed the bottle and poured myself a glam .

I shut my eyes and took my first sip of the wines heaven and earthy taste .

I ran my tongue over my lower bp as the bitterness liquid ran down my throat .

I was pretty much having me time when the door suddenly glided open , and the sexiest man I knew marched its the room Luke came back , and my precious glass of wine splattered on the rug , and the glass shattered into pieces .

Its the he brought a worm wih kum Dont you ever knock ? I bent down and picked up broken pieces of the glass .

This is my suite .

Get up here , he ordered .

What ? I even walked around naked earlier , used his bathroom , and hes saying this was his personal space ? No wonder everything was provided .

I wouldnt have come here if I knew .

I ignored him and continued picking up the mess .

I said , get up ! he bellowed .

Luke grasped my arm and hauled me up .

He dragged me to one side .

Do not ever kneel like that.

His grey eyes peered at me .

I wasnt able to respond .

I was losing my balance .

Luke almost dwarfed me with his height .

I suddenly felt small in his presence .

W why did you come back anyway ? He let my arm go and walked to the minibar .

I noticed he already changed into a black Italian bespoke tuxedo with the letter A cufflinks on his dress shirt .

His dark hair was roughly brushed up .

I wanted to run my fingers along his body while inhaling his spicy sandalwood scent .

What the hell was wrong with me ? I should be angry with him for leaving me earlier and for shouting at me as if I was a piece of trash .

I must have lost my damn mind .

Luke grabbed a glass and poured himself the same drink I was having .

I dont want to seem like a bastard son , so I came back to pick you up so we could go together to the party like happy siblings .

He drank the wine in one gulp and then finished his sentence , Do you get what I mean ? I shook my head .

I just could not believe why I was so consumed with this man .

He was such a prick .

I sighed .

Then maybe you should have shown your true bastard self to your father .

We need to leave now , he said , ignoring my remark .

How about my things ? Ill have it picked up later .

And just like that, he walked out the door again .

I grabbed my purse and rushed outside .

Luke was about to step into the elevator .

Damn .

He just couldnt wait for me .

He certainly did not care if I was running for my life just to keep up .

He did not hold the elevator , and the poisonous bastard could not stop smirking as if I was some comedian .

I realized then that perhaps he just really hated me .

He wouldnt be such an ass if he didnt .

Even if we werent real siblings , he couldve just treated me like a normal person .

What is wrong with you ? I ranted .

He didnt answer , but he could not stop his mouth from twitching .

Its not my fault your legs are short .

I froze .

What did you just say ? My distaste towards him began to increase and intensify .

I was starting to hate him .

Unfortunately , I knew I would never win .

I looked away from his goddamn pretty face .

Instead , I stood up and fixed my eyes forward .

I would not play with his games .

My Death Mu Unshand Who Throw Me Into the Hunting Grounds Went Insane 11.6 % When we reached the hotels first floor , Luke continued to march outside as if I did not exist .

The hotel staff greeted him , but he didnt respond .

He must think so highly of himself .

He walked towards a black Bentley on the hotels main driveway and got into the drivers seat .

I was not expecting that he would open the door for me , so I just quietly stepped inside of my own accord .

There , again , the car was filled with his intoxicating scent .

I was probably going crazy , still being attracted to him .

There was no point admiring him .

Luke was very silent and uninterested in me the whole drive .

I began to worry .

I didnt want to live under the same roof as my stepbrother .

I gasped at the stylish and luxurious home towering over me when I stepped out of the car .

The two acre land had a three story mansion that combined steel , concrete , wood , and glass .

This was Thomas Alejandros home , the place where my mother wanted me to live .

I wanted to explore the interior , but the party was being held in the garden , so we proceeded to the venue .

As we moved , the camera flashes instantly blinded me , and there were hundreds of guests in fancy suits and dresses crowding in one place .

The party had already begun , and I could already hear my stepfathers voice speaking through the speaker system .

To my surprise , Luke grabbed my hand and brought me over to the stage with him .

Come on ! I told you were late .

Hey , where are we- Lukes warm hand grasped my wrist ; it was like small tingles and tiny bolts of electricity were radiating from him , and he was transferring them to me .

I wasnt sure if he felt it .

We stopped at the side of the stage as if waiting for something to happen .

I seriously didnt know what he was planning to do .

I would like to address my beautiful and lovely wife , Gene , Thomas continued to speak .

You are perfect in everything you do .

You have become the light of our home , and Im grateful to you for taking care of my son , Lucas .

But right now , as we are celebrating your fiftieth birthday , I wanted to give you the best gift , he paused , making eye contact with my mother , who was wiping her tears in pure joy .

He kissed her temple and continued the speech .

I would like to invite our precious daughter on stage .

She came here straight from Cambridge to witness her mothers special day .

Thomas shifted his body to one side and spread out his arm towards me .

Lets welcome Scarlet Carter , my daughter .

Lets give her a big round of applause .

Oh , my God ! This was the surprise he was talking about .

Moms mouth dropped open when she saw me ; her expression was full of awe and priceless .

She was so beautiful , her face blessed with youth .

Shed curled her brunette hair , and she was wearing a sparkling emerald green evening dress that hugged her curves .

The life Thomas had given her suited her well .

I gave her a smile of yearning , realizing I had missed her so much .

Luke leaned close to my ear .

Go on , shes waiting, he urged in a whisper , offering his arm to me .

But , Luke … Im not prepared for this .

Who is ? he hissed .

Scar , my dear ? my stepfather called .

Come up here , sweetheart .

Luke rolled his eyes .

Come on , he pressed , brought my hand to his arm , and took me to the stage while my knees quivered .

A round of applause erupted the whole place as soon as I made my grand entrance .

Hi , Mom .

My darling , you are here .

Mom immediately caught me around her arms and squeezed me so tight as if there were no tomorrow for both of us .

Its been months since she last visited me in Cambridge .

She parted away a little , cupped my face between her palms , and wiped my tears away with her thumb .

I thought you were coming home on Sunday ? I chuckled between my tears and embraced her again .

Well , surprise ! I am here now .

Happy Birthday , Mom .
