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

Chapter 27 No , no .

If I say yes , he would do anything he wanted with me .

I was dependent on his father .

He paid for my college tuition , gave me allowances , clothed me , and provided everything I needed .

He took care of Mom .

I couldnt betray Thomas .

I finally had the chance to taste the life of having a father .

I would never ruin it over meaningless sexual tension … intense sexual tension .

I stood up ; I couldnt stay near Luke anymore .

I shouldve avoided him .

I had to accept that Jax was gone and he would never come back .

He was gone when he became Luke .

I would not risk a simple and quiet life in exchange for two months of pleasure .

It may sound good no , perfect , but if I accepted his offer , it meant betraying Mom as well .

No.

I shook my head .

I may already have made some bad choices , but Ill never add this one to all of it .

I had been in a scandalous , abusive relationship .

I didnt want all of it to happen again just because I wanted the man so much .

Im not done .

Sit down , he ordered .

I shook my head .

No , Im done .

I turned away from him and was about to march away until I felt a possessive grasp on my wrist , and I was spun around .

I said , Im not done .

I felt his breath on my neck .

I struggled with his grasp , but he only pressed me to the wall .

I dont want to do this with you .

Then at least give me a reason why we cant ? I said no , and you demand a reason ? Hmm… He sniffed my hair .

If the only reason is Dad and Gene , I wont let you refuse because that reason didnt stop me .

Then stop it , Luke .

Theyre going to hear us , I hissed harshly.

My heartbeat quickened , beating faster than it ever had before .

I could feel his warmth against me ; it made me want to give in .

His mouth was on my ear , making my stomach flutter .

Why did he have to do everything so intensely ? You know that their room is on the other side of this house , right ? Come on , tell me .

He asked softly this time .

Let me go , Luke , please ? You owe me .

Have you realized that ? You owed me when you asked for my help with your homework .

Or for when you called and begged me to make you come .

His hand swiftly slipped into my nightgown again .

And I satisfied you without getting anything in return .

Dont you want to make it happen , mm ? God .

This was affecting me so much .

He was already getting to me , and I was letting him .

I had to stop this , even if I wanted him so much .

I had to be strong enough to resist him .

I wanted to put him in a box and let him stay there .

All this excitement , pleasure , and passion would be gone .

My dreams of touching him would remain a dream .

He would be Mr.

Untouchable to me forever .

I had to choose wisely , and I decided to be smart .

I kicked his feet , then I elbowed him in the ribs as hard as I could .

Fuck ! He groaned sharply .

His grasp loosened , and I swiftly stepped away from him .

I crossed my arms and smirked .

Why cant you just accept the fact that I rejected you ? A man who seemed so full of himself .

Youll regret this , witch .

Screw you and your other self Jax .

Tell him I dont fucking care anymore .

He chuckled , resting his hand on his waist .

Then Ill make you regret it … until you say yes .

I smirked and ignored him .

I might have won this time , but I didnt know what he meant or what he was planning to do .

But I refused to lose my mind because of him .

All I had was my pride stepping on his ego .

It would have to be enough .

A loud ringtone woke me up in the morning , and saw Katherines name on my screen .

Damn .

I forgot to call her last night .

I answered the call .

Chapter 27 Scar ? Im so sorry .

I meant to call you last night , but I was so tired .

I fell asleep .

Its okay .

Her voice didnt sound worried at all .

She sounded lively .

Guess what ? What ? Nate called me .

Yeah ? Yeah ! Oh God ! I was so worried .

And then ? Hes going to take me to his dad , and he will propose to me in front of him .

And its okay for you ? Of course , Scar .

I love him .

I cannot live without him , you know that .

But we agreed that hes going to wait until next year .

What ! Really ? Youre going to get married ? She giggled .

Yes ! Next year , Scar .

I told my parents .

I know its informal , but were all going to graduate anyway in two months- Let me guess .

They asked you about Nates family background .

I met her parents in Cambridge while they were visiting her .

Katherines parents came from a high ranking society .

When they first found out that only an attorney raised me and not a President or a CEO , they immediately wanted their daughter to move to another apartment .

But when they discovered that I was the stepdaughter of the one and only Thomas Alejandro , they suddenly became friendly and acted as if I was a precious stone .

She sighed .

Yeah .

Luckily , Nate isnt a nobody .

I shook my head in disbelief .

Right , she agreed .

It was kind of annoying , really , but Nates coming to our house to tell them our plans .

Good ! I sighed in relief .

Lets celebrate that when I come home .

I miss you , Scar .

I miss you too .

Oh , I heard Nates going to visit you today .

Are you alright ? she asked .

Yes , because Im really going to die here .

Theres nothing fun to do .

Then why dont you just come with Nate when he flies back ? I doubt that my mother would let me , but we barely even talk or see each other , you know ? We are in the same house , but I dont usually leave my room .

I only come down when its lunch or dinner .

Mom and Thomas are madly in love .

Theyre always out on a date like newlyweds .

I imagined her smile .

I hope Nate and I will be like that too when we get married .

Of course .

Nate is a good man , and you are a beautiful and smart woman .

I love you both .

I love you , too , Scar .

Dont mind that prick stepbrother of yours , she snorted , even if hes handsome .

Too handsome , its illegal .

Ahem .

Youve been through a lot .

Ive seen you heartbroken and cry every day .

You cannot let that happen again .

I know Katherine .

I have to be very careful .

Though , I was already in trouble .

Luke or Jax or whoever he was , he wanted to own me .

Is he that handsome ? Chapter 27 Unfortunately .

What kind of handsome ? I rolled my eyes .

Youve seen his pictures … He was more than beautiful .

I know .

She sighed .

Dont tell Nate this , but I found this stepbrother of yours extremely sexy and smoldering hot .

I dont know how youll manage the attraction , especially now that you found out that hes also Jax .

Our thesis counselor ? What kind of fate is that ? It only happens in the movies .

I have to drop the subject .

Except Nate isnt an ass .

71 Right .

And hes gorgeous too , in his own sexy way , she said dreamily .

I agree .

We both roared with laughter .

Oh , I have to go now .

I need a bath .

Sure .

Love you .

Love you too ! We hung up .

I walked straight to the bathroom for a warm bath .

That morning was the first time I woke up at ease .

Hearing Katherines voice was a relief .

Itd only been a few days , but it felt like a year in this house .

A lot had happened .

Shortly after , Eva knocked on my door , holding a tray of breakfast .

Good morning , Eva .

Good morning , miss .

She smiled sweetly .

Heres your breakfast .

It was a glass of milk , some cereal , and mixed fruits .

Thats only for one person , I remarked .

But miss , I really cant eat with my boss .

Im not your boss .

Thomas is .

Come in .

But miss … No more buts .

Come in .

I held the door open for her , and she placed the food on my bedside table .

Sit with me on the couch .

Be my guest , I encouraged .

Shyly , she did .

I handed her the bowl of cereal , and I took the mixed fruit for myself .

Make sure to bring food for two next time .

Her eyes widened , but I saw the delight in her eyes .

Thank you , miss .

Let me explain , I need a friend in this house , and I choose you .

Why me ? Hmm … lets just say , my mothers going to insist that I live here after I graduate .

Imagine how boring it would be to live here without a friend .

Besides , you seem very nice .

She nodded and then started eating the cereal .

But youll eventually marry , and you wont be here to get bored anymore .

I didnt answer .

So , this was Evas concept of the natural cycle of being a woman .

Just like everyone else .

The cycle where a woman had to finish college , get a job , and then marry the ideal man she would meet at the perfect time .

I liked that Nate and Kathrine were going to get married in the future because they were perfect for each other .

I didnt want to talk about marriage .

For me , it was a nightmare .

Is there something bothering you , miss ? she asked , snapping me back to reality .

Oh , no .

Im fine .

I smiled a little .

What did you say again ? 12 · 54 Chapter 27 Lasked if youd like that to happen to you .

I doubt that .

I shrugged .

Eva lowered her head and didnt ask anymore , and I chose to change the subject , beginning with asking more about her .

Id made mistakes in my life , and I still regret what I did .

I could never go back to the past to change everything .

Nate and Kath were the only people who knew what happened to me .

Not even my Mom or Thomas .

It was two years ago …..

A few years ago ….

Dianna called at three in the morning after shed been missing for three days .

She had been absent in school too , and our professors were asking us where she was .

We were all worried about her .

It all started with this guy I met in a club .

I introduced her to him .

He became her boyfriend , Raoul Velazquez .

A Mexican businessman who owned the club .

If I only knew he was a bastard , I wouldnt have introduced them to each other She and Kath were the most important people in my life .

What happened to her was something I couldnt take .

And it was all my fault .

He … he told me that he wanted you .

He never loved me .

He wanted you , Scar ! Can you imagine that !? This is all your fault .

Hes going to kill me , Scar .

Hes crazy , she sobbed hard .

What did he want ? You ! He fucking wants you , and hes not going to stop ! Hes going to kill me .

He kidnapped me , and you have to come here .

You have until dawn , or hes going to kill me .

He wants you and you alone .

Is he next to you ? Tell me .

Yes yes … she cried nervously .

I just want to go home .

Tell me , where are you ? You have to come here alone , please ? Please , Scar , save me .

What does he fucking want with me ? He said hes madly in love with you , and hes going to marry you .

He wont let me go until you say yes .

And I did .

I did everything I could to save her , but she disappeared just like how Raoul vanished into thin air after our illegal marriage .

It was unlawful because he appeared to be married to someone else first .

I was free , thanks to Nate .

I found out that I was still a free woman because of his help .

But before the bastard who ruined me disappeared , he said he would come back for me , and he was going to make me pay for destroying his life .

It was him who ruined me ; I hated him for taking my freedom , abusing me , and taking my purity .

I never told anyone .

I couldnt .

And I knew that one day , it was going to haunt me .
