Chapter 163 - Betrayed!
Done resting, she exited her bedroom. She went to the room occupied by the burnt woman.
She entered the room and went closer to the bed. She waved her hand all over the woman\'s body while chanting a spell to wake her up.
A few minutes later, Rebecca\'s eyelashes fluttered, she finally awakened.
Ebony smiled at the woman. "How are you feeling?" she asked.
"I feel pain all over my body," Rebecca replied in agony.
"I understand, just bear it for a while. There is someone who would like to talk to you. After you are done talking to him, I will put you to sleep again so that you won\'t feel the pain anymore," Ebony said.
"Okay," Rebecca replied and closed her eyes again.
A few minutes later.
The door opened and the guy entered the room.
Ebony looked at the guy. "She is already awake, my lord," she informed him.
"Good! Wait for me outside," the guy replied.
Ebony nods her head and left the room.
The guy sat on the chair facing the bed. "Rebecca, open your eyes... it\'s me!" he ordered.
Rebecca opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She looked at the guy sitting on the chair. She smiled a bit. "So...it\'s you who saved me?!"
Corbin smirked. "Yeah," he answered casually. "I originally don\'t want to save you but I changed my mind at the last minute. I arrived at the furnace after the men left, too late, you\'re badly burned, but no worries as long Ebony will continue taking care of you every day your burn will heal gradually, in due time your health will be restored," he said.
"Thank you for saving me," Rebecca said.
"You\'re welcome," he replied.
"Can you please give me a mirror? I want to see how badly I look?" she asked.
"No! I won\'t give you the mirror. Don\'t torture yourself watching your burnt image in the mirror, it will only crush your spirit," he said.
"Okay... just tell me how do I look right now?" she said.
"Well, you burned all your hair, your scalp, all the skin in your body...honestly... you looked like a roasted pig right now," he joked.
"Ah, I see...I look so ugly..." she said, wincing in pain.
"Yeah... beyond ugly I must say... but the damage was only skin deep, you will be okay after one or two months, so bear the pain for now. Don\'t worry as long Ebony is your physician, you are in good hands," he said gently.
Fresh tears emerged from Rebecca\'s eyes. "Thank you for saving me and thanks to Ebony for taking good care of me and attending to my wounds every day," she said feeling emotional.
"Don\'t mention it, and don\'t cry, it\'s not good for you to cry because once the tears touched the burnt skin it will be painful," he stated.
"Okay," Rebecca replied.
He stared at her face for a few minutes.
"I admired your loyalty and devotion to your friend. You never revealed her location even if you are on the verge of death, such an admirable friend you are!" he said with a tone of admiration in his voice.
Suddenly, Rebecca winced. "My body is aching, so painful!" she groaned in pain.
"Alright, let\'s talk again some other time, go back to sleep, and rest as much as you can!" he said.
Rebecca did as she was told and closed her eyes.
Corbin exited the room. He saw Ebony waiting nearby. "Ebony, Rebecca is groaning in pain, you can put her back to sleep now," he commanded.
"Yes, my lord!" Ebony replied and entered the room. She went to the bed and waved her hand on Rebecca\'s body putting her in a deep sleep.
After making sure that everything is okay inside the room, Ebony made her exit.
She went to the living room downstairs and sat on the couch facing the lord. "My lord, what if your folks will discover that she\'s still alive? What will you do?" she asked apprehensively.
"Regarding that issue, don\'t worry about it. They already believe that the impostor died on the furnace, so they won\'t look after her anymore. The only person they would want to find and focus their attention with is the real Laura," he replied. "They would have to comb the entire land to find her," he said.
"My lord, why do you want to find the real Laura? Why are you interested in her?" she asked.
"I have my reasons, one day you will understand why," he responded. He rose to his feet. "I\'m leaving now, I\'ll visit some other day. Take care of Rebecca for me," he said.
"I will, my lord. Rest assured that I will do everything in my power to help her recover," Ebony promised solemnly.
"Good!" Corbin said, he walked towards the main door and disappeared outside.
Ebony shut and locked the door. She climbs the stairs and went to her room to retire for the night.

Meanwhile... at Luke\'s mansion.
The time is already 9:00 in the evening.
Laura was still wide awake, lying in the bed, thinking about what happened to her and Luke yesterday. They have sexual intercourse which is against her will but what can she do? She is powerless, having sex with him is the only way she knows how to make sure he will no longer continue his evil plan of killing her baby again.
She realized that pretending to be on good terms with Luke is the only way she knows how to protect her baby from danger. As a mother, she will do anything to save her baby even if it means sacrificing herself.
She felt immensely guilty about what happened between her and Luke yesterday, but she won\'t kill herself over it. She has a duty and responsibility to protect the unborn child that is growing in her womb. She\'s confident that her husband will understand the reason why she has to do it.
She released a deep sigh.
Then her thoughts went to Rebecca, wondering what had happened to her friend.
Then her husband\'s face comes to her mind. Fresh tears sprang in her eyes. She already broken their marriage vows and had sex with another guy, she felt dirty inside. Especially when she and Luke were intimate, she reached her climax as well. She cringed in horror and shame.
Damn! Her body betrayed her!
She hated her body! But she can\'t do anything to punish it. She must take care of her body so that her baby will grow healthy. From now on, everything she decides and does for herself is for her baby\'s benefits, she no longer exists.
She closed her eyes preparing to sleep.
She was already on the edge of slumber when she felt that someone is climbing on the bed!
Her eyes flew open in panic, her breathing slowed down when she realized that it\'s just Luke. He lies down beside her.
"Why did you sneak like that! You give me a shock!" she scolded him. She turned her back on him, ignoring him.
Luke grinned and wrapped his arms around her, spooning her.
"What are you doing here in my room?" she asked icily.
"I want to spend the whole night with you, I miss you! I will sleep here in your room tonight," he declared.
"Go back to your room!" she said furiously.
"No way! I\'m already here, so no amount of whining and persuasion from your side can force me to leave your room," he concluded.
Laura gritted her teeth in anger. She\'s trying to move away from him, out of his reach, but he pulled her back to his embrace.
She bit her lip, super annoyed. She continues wriggling against his firm hold.
"Stop fighting me!" he whispered. "If you keep doing that you will get exhausted and your baby will get affected inside your womb," he reminded her.
Laura released a deep sigh and finally allowed herself to be imprisoned in his embrace.
"Good girl!" he murmured and buried his lips on her neck, he began nuzzling her earlobes.
Laura\'s eyes welled.
He caresses her bottom, stimulating her, arousing her.
Laura\'s eyes widened in alarm. "What are you doing!?" she asked indignantly.
"I\'m pleasuring you, my love, just enjoy it," he responded with a lust-filled voice and inserted his hands inside her underwear, he starts stroking her wet core.
Laura can only bit her lip as waves of pleasure starts to overtake her reasoning spreading wildly all over her body melting her defenses. "...ahhh...ahhh..." a moan escaped her lips as he deepens and quickens his stroking of her silky wall, his two fingers already buried deep inside her molten core.
"Moan my name, my love! Tell me that you like what I\'m doing with your core," he whispered huskily in her ears as his erection was getting harder and swollen inside his underwear.
"Ohhh...ahhh...so nice...Luke...I love it... keep rubbing... ahhh..." she moaned in ecstasy.
Luke freed his erect rod from his underwear and withdraws his hands from her core, he pulled her underwear down her legs, and from behind he inserted his erect shaft to her silky wall.
Laura grabbed the bed sheet as Luke began pounding her from behind,
"Ahhh... ahhh..." Luke grunted and panted. "Continue moaning my name!" he ordered.
"Yes...ohhh...Luke...I love that...ahhhh...ohhh... a bit faster....ahhhh...so nice..." she moaned in ecstasy.
Luke grinned and continue pounding her core with a slow and steady pleasurable rhythm.
A few minutes later, Laura\'s toes clenched as she reached her climax followed by Luke a moment later.
He collapsed on the bed beside Laura.
They were shrouded with thick silence, no one wants to start a conversation, the only sound they can hear is the rapid breathing of their hearts.
Half an hour later, Laura fell into a deep slumber watched over by Luke.
