Chapter 161 - Deal Or No Deal?
The healer maintained her silence letting Adela do the talking.
Adela dropped on the floor on bended knees. "I\'m so sorry, my lady. Please forgive me, the tea that you are about to drink is poisonous, it will kill the fetus inside your womb!" she said, her eyes swarmed with tears.
Laura\'s eyes widened in shock. She looked at the old woman who is avoiding her gaze. "Grandma, is it true that the tea is poisoned? That it\'s meant to kill my baby inside my tummy?" she asked, her chest felt heavy due to horror.
Grandma kneels in front of Laura, looking at her with pain in her eyes. "Yes, it\'s true. Lord Luke ordered me to make the poison brew and serve it to you for one week to abort the baby in your tummy. Adela and I don\'t want to do it, but he told Adela that he will fire her from her job if the brew is not made. So, I have to help her. I\'m sorry, my lady, we have no other choice but to follow the lord\'s order," she said sadly.
Laura\'s eyes welled. She stared at the poisonous brew spilled on the floor disgustedly. Damn! She was so close to drinking the poison!
She stared at the servant and the healer\'s faces angrily for a long time, she felt betrayed, she trusted them with her heart! How can they do this to her!?
On the other hand, she can\'t entirely blame them. They were under Luke\'s command. They won\'t do it on their own accord because in front of her are good women, just that Luke is the evil one and force them to commit the bad deed!
She was furious with Luke for trying to kill her baby!
But she\'s also aware that he can find 100 ways to kill the baby in her tummy without using other people.
She released a deep sigh. She looked at the gloomy faces of the women kneeling on the floor. "Get up, I\'m not angry anymore. You are forgiven," she said and looked at Adela. "You may clean the floor."
"Thank you, my lady!" the women spoke in unison.
Adela exited the room and returned a few minutes later holding a mop in her hand, she began wiping the spilled liquid on the floor.
Grandma sat on the chair looking at the lady. "Who exactly are you, my lady?" she asked curiously.
Laura sighed. "I\'m a married woman. My husband is Luke\'s twin brother and the baby is our child. Luke was my ex-boyfriend, he got jealous that I married his brother instead of him so he abducted me and imprisoned me here in his house. That is the whole truth!" she said sadly.
Grandma and Adela looked at each other pitying the lady.
"I\'m so sorry, my lady!" Adela repeated her apologies.
"I\'m deeply sorry too, my lady," the healer said.
Laura took a deep breath. "It\'s okay, you two can leave my room now," she said calmly. She looked at Adela. "Please, tell your lord that I want to talk to him!" she said.
"Yes, lady!" Adela said.
The women left the room.
Laura was seething in anger inside the room. How dare Luke planned to kill his blood relative? He\'s worst than the animals!
Although she was furious, she\'s also aware that she\'s under Luke\'s power and he can do anything he wants to do with her. He can harm her baby inside her womb anytime he wanted to, the only thing she can do right now is protecting her baby\'s life at all costs, even if she will resort to swallowing her pride and kissing his feet.
She squeezed her eyes shut, gathering strength to swallow her pride. When it comes to her baby, she will do anything even if it\'s against her will!
And she knows exactly how to subdue Luke\'s anger.
She has to do it, no other choice!
A few minutes later.
The door opened and Luke entered, he closed the door behind him.
When she looked at him, there was no hint of anger in her eyes, only calmness. "You asked for me?" he said.
Laura cleared her throat and caresses her tummy lovingly. "I want to negotiate with you. Stop planning about killing my baby in my tummy. Allow me to give birth in peace, then give the baby to Graven and you can have me all by yourself, I\'m yours!" she offered.
Luke\'s lips curled up into a smile. "Really-? Is that your final decision? You won\'t change your mind?" he asked.
"Yes! Just wait patiently for nine months, after I give birth to my baby, my body is yours," she repeated and bit her lip.
Luke\'s lips erupted into a wide grin. "Wow! I\'m happy to hear that! How can I be sure that you won\'t back out on your decision? That you won\'t change your mind?" he asked her, feeling doubtful.
"I won\'t... you have my word already," she said dejectedly.
Luke went to her side. "Alright, prove to me how serious you are with your offer to me..."
Laura\'s brows furrowed in confusion, she stepped back because he was closing in and invading her space. "W-what do you mean?"
"I want to know how serious you are with your offer. Prove it!" he challenged her.
Laura\'s eyes widened. \'Y-you mean-?"
"Kiss my lips!" he ordered.
Laura\'s face fell in a sad grimace.
Luke saw the expression of disgust on her face. "What-? Did you change your mind already? You can\'t bear to kiss me? If you can\'t, then no deal! I will punish Adela and the healer severely for betraying me and telling you the truth!" he said in a dark tone.
Laura\'s face paled instantly. "No! you can\'t do that!" she shouted.
"Why not? They cross my bottom line! They deserve to be punished!" he insisted.
"Please no! I begged you, don\'t hurt them!" Laura pleaded on behalf of the two women.
Luke grinned. "Alright, let see if you can convince me with your kiss!" he demanded.
Laura shut her eyes for a few minutes and when she opened them she went to Luke\'s side and kissed his lips.
Luke claimed Laura\'s lips hungrily and they engaged in a lip-locked for a few minutes.
Laura has to give her all just to convince him that she is serious with her offer, she even went far imagining that she was kissing her husband, not Luke. So her kiss came out passionate and genuine.
Luke was impressed with her performance after they finished kissing. "Wow! You\'re indeed serious with your offer, eh? I\'m more than impressed!" he said happily. He winked at her naughtily. "Why don\'t we seal our deal in the bed?" he suggested.
Laura\'s eyes widened in alarm. "I told you... only after I delivered my baby safely, my body is yours!" she reminded him.
Luke\'s mouth twitched in displeasure. "I can\'t wait for a long nine months! I want to taste you now!" he declared.
"B-but I\'m pregnant, my baby will get affected... we can\'t have sex while I\'m pregnant!" she protested.
Luke smirked. "Don\'t worry, I will be slow, it won\'t affect the baby, I can guarantee you that," he said convincingly.
Laura sighed.
When Luke lifted her body and deposited her in the bed, she freezes her emotion.
Luke discarded all her clothes and she\'s naked from head to toe, he was enjoying the process tremendously, he also abandoned his clothes.
Luke began licking and kissing every inch of Laura\'s body, she can only stare at the wall, but it\'s impossible no to be affected by his kisses... after all, he is the exact image of her husband.
He looked at her face... "Moan my name!" he ordered.
When he entered her core with his erect manhood she conditioned herself to moan his name to make him happy and satisfied.
"Ahhhhh...yes... I love it...Luke...ahhhh...ohhhh..." she moaned in pleasure. His order become easier when she pretended that she was having sexual intercourse with her husband right now.
Luke loves hearing Laura moaning his name. He began pounding her wet core in a steady pleasurable rhythm.
"Ahhhh...yessss...ohhhhh...yessss...so good...Luke...a little bit harder please...ahhhhh..." she moaned in ecstasy.
Luke was elated, he pounded her core a little bit deeper and fasterr based upon her request.
"Ahhhhhh...soo niceeee...ohhhh....ahhhh...yesss...yess...I love it...you\'re so good Luke... ahhh..." she moaned over and over again sending Luke to the edge of nirvana.
Laura was lost in her imagination pretending that she was having sex with her husband, then her toes clenched...holy cow! she reached orgasm before Luke did.
Luke reached his climax, his flustered face was flashing with happiness. Yes! Finally! He got his beloved woman back in his arms!
They\'re together again! It made him so happy.
He rolled over and lay on the bed beside her. He gathered her lovingly in his arms and kissed her temple. He reached for the blanket above their heads and wrapped it around their naked bodies. He planted a kiss on her lips. "I love you, let\'s start all over again," he said, his voice vibrated with love and affection.
"Okay," Laura murmured. She closed her eyes trying to stop the tears from falling on her face. "\'I\'m so sleepy, I want to sleep," she said.
"Go ahead, closed your eyes, let me hold you like this," he whispered.
Laura closed her eyes feeling sleepy, a few minutes later she was already snoring softly in his arms.
Luke smiled happily while recalling something in his mind...
He was inside Laura\'s room in his invisible form when she was about to drink the poisonous tea that would poison her baby, even if the maid won\'t stop her, he will!
He might be the bad brother and the villain because he had abducted Laura, but he won\'t harm his future niece or nephew inside her tummy.
He was glad his plan work the way it should be!
