Renewal Of Love

Chapter 499 Murderous Intentions

After a long, full day's work, Cherry finally reluctantly made her way to the designated hotel, weary and

apprehensive.

Luke had already arrived. He had been waiting for her.

He was sitting alone. He glanced at his watch with impatient anticipation. Suddenly, he heard a knock

on his door. His eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately hurried to get to his feet, straighten up and

ready himself to answer the door in a fashion would make him come across as casual. He didn't want

his eagerness to show.

Standing in the doorway was a slender, strikingly beautiful woman. She had sunglasses and a mask

on, but Luke could nonetheless recognize her to be his one and only goddess-like Kristine.

Initially, he had drooled over her images in various entertainment magazines, admiring every bit of her

attractive body. He never thought he would one day meet her in person, let alone have the opportunity

to live out his fantasies with her.

Fortune was indeed in his stars!

On the phone, Luke was confident when he spoke to Cherry. But her physical presence before him had

an astounding effect on him. He awkwardly averted his gaze, his face completely flushed, and he was

struck dumb.

Cherry was being made to stand in the doorway. Irked, she angrily said, "Let me in!"

A hoard of paparazzi had just been on her tail and she had just managed to lose them after quite the

concerted effort. If they discovered her in this scenario, no explanation would be able to clear her

name. She would forever be tainted for this.

Luke suddenly realized he had frozen in the doorway, blocking her entry to the room.

He was mortified and blushed a deep crimson. He hurried to move out of the way to let Cherry in.

Noticing that he had the curtains drawn open, she was quick to stride across the room and pull them

shut. After carefully looking around the room, perhaps to ensure there were no recording devices

around, Cherry removed her shades and mask to reveal her exquisite face.

A few days ago, Cherry had visited the prison to see Alan. She had been just as covered up then, so

Luke had not had a chance to get a clear look at her in person. This moment was the first time he had

this opportunity.

Cherry had porcelain skin with delicate effeminate features. With the assistance of some plastic

surgery, her natural beauty had been enhanced masterfully. Although she did not look as perfect as

she did on television, she was still a stunner of note.

Luke was quite excitable and wanted to express his awe but he was so flustered that he did not know

where to begin.

Cherry looked him up and down in disdain. He was tall but quite mediocre-looking overall.

"Well, I have a very busy schedule and can't spend much time with you. If you're planning on doing

something, you'd better get to it soon. I need to leave as soon as we're done," Cherry said frankly,

looking at Luke without even trying to hide her disgust.

Luke was shocked at how straight-forward she was being but clearly understood her.

Indeed, Cherry was here to fulfil his every desire today. While he looked at her lustfully, she began

underdressing. Seeing her clothing fall to the ground around her made him feel hot all over.

Without wasting a moment, Luke pulled Cherry into his lascivious embrace.

Elsewhere, Andrew glanced at his phone irritably. Recently, his fame had grown at an alarming rate but

he still was not completely happy.

He rubbed his temple gently in attempt to ease his angst. He glanced his phone to check the time. He

figured that Cherry had reached the hotel by now.

'I can't get tangled up in these matters. Absolutely not!' Andrew said to himself. Unwittingly, something

had started to stir in the depths of his heart, yet he shook his head firmly in affirmation of what he had

just thought.

Had it been any other female star, he would not have felt as affected. But it was Cherry. He struggled

and just could not let it go.

He knew that if her past came to light, it would undo everything she had worked for and there would be

no opportunity for a fresh start. But if he chose to remain with this woman, every second of his life be

filled with drama and misery.

Not to mention, he had just pretended to live with her and this resulted in him nearly permanently

becoming a vegetable from the injuries he sustained. If he actually lived with her with the real intention

to be in a relationship, he felt that he might die!

'Anyone who makes such a heinous mistake has to pay the price. She deserves it. It has nothing to do

with me!' Convincing himself of this, Andrew made his way to his bed, settled himself in and tightly shut

his eyes.

He repeatedly told himself to forget about Cherry, and go to sleep.

Elsewhere, Alan was casually looking at things on his phone, when he noticed the time and smirked.

Cherry would be with Luke now. He wondered if she was filled with hatred and the urge to kill him right

now.

With a satisfied sneer, he put his phone aside and lay contentedly on the bed.

"Cherry, I promised you that I would make your life a living hell as long as there is life in me. When I

die, I will make sure I take you to hell with me. And I am a man of my word, silly girl," whispered Alan

into the empty darkness, in a vile, menacing tone.

The new day had dawned without Cherry even realizing it. She opened her eyes at the sound of the This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

alarm.

A strong arm was wrapped around her slender waist. With a look of disgust, she firmly pushed it off her.

She didn't even bother to hide the repulsion at the situation.

Due to Cherry's abrupt movement of his arm, Luke woke up from his dreams. Seeing the stunning

woman in front of him, he blinked his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

He had thought that last night was just a dream, but awakening to this attractive woman before him, he

realized it was not just a fantasy but reality.

Luke smiled with satisfaction and pulled Cherry into his arms again.

"Kristine, I'm not dreaming, am I? Did I really have you last night?"

Cherry frowned and hit Luke's arm aggressively. She retorted coldly, "Let me go. I have to go to work."

Luke frowned, clearly unhappy, and said, "I've already put in my leave for the day. Why do you need to

go to work right now? Can't you stay here with me and give me company?"

"Me, accompany you?" Cherry jeered at him. She stood up and looked down on Luke with contempt

tangible in her expression, "Who you do think you are? What makes you special enough for my

company?"

Luke froze and gritted his teeth, infuriated.

"You requested that I come to this hotel as per an arrangement between us. I've done my part and

spent the night with you. If you now decide to still spill the beans about my true identity, you will regret

it. Because if you open your mouth, I will make sure I drag you to hell with me." Cherry continued in a

frigid, intense tone, "When you were asleep last night, I took the liberty of making a video of you in this

compromising situation. Trust me, it is enough to prove that you threatened me into it.

If I decide to leak the videos and pictures on social media, you will never be able to recover from the

embarrassment.

So just make this clear in your head: you are not the only one who has something on me; I have

something on to hold over your head too. So I trust we will not be revealing anything about each other,

especially since I held up my end of the bargain and have spent a night with you."

Without further ado, and not affording Luke even a nanosecond to answer, Cherry went into the

bathroom, her expression still full of contempt.

Hearing the sound of splashing and running water, Luke began to let out his frustration and gnashed

his teeth lividly.

It was clear to him now in hindsight. No wonder Cherry had been so willing to go ahead with the act last

night. She wanted to create the perfect opportunity to catch him on video in compromising light. She

had been waiting for the perfect moment hence she had feigned being obliging. But was Luke that

gullible? It was like taking candy from a child.

He was now certain that Cherry was a devious woman. In his twisted mind, he rationalized that she had

just spent one night with him. He didn't have any hard feelings against her but she clearly despised

him.

He could not bear it!

Luke stood up in indignation and shoved the bathroom door roughly. At this hotel, the bathroom doors

did not have locks.

Cherry was preoccupied with taking a shower and was caught completely off guard by what Luke did

next. He grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall, pinning her so that she was restrained from

retaliating.

After forcibly being kissed by Luke, she fell to the shower floor.

Satisfied with this scene, Luke sneered. He crouched down, his face a few inches above hers. Despite

her protests, he lifted her chin with his index finger and said, "So you think you are something special?

Let me just tell you, you are the lucky one in that I have taken somewhat of a liking to you. Forget your

superiority complex. If I let the media know about your true identity, you will run the very real risk of

going to prison, regardless of whatever you do or say to defame me.

So, you'd better change your attitude right before I grow tired of your bullshit. Or don't blame me for my

bad behavior because it's just a response to your attitude." After finishing his monologue, he snorted

and stood up slowly. Seeing the rebellious look on Cherry's face, he gave her a hard kick on the leg. He

turned and left.

Cherry let out a cry of pain and tears began flowing down her cheeks. Hearing a door shut, she

realized Luke had left. She could not contain herself and burst into unrestraint bawling.

She understood what he had meant. The leverage would always be with him and he wouldn't let her

get away with a few threats of blackmail.

But she could not stand being with Luke. The thought of him touching her again repulsed her to the

core. She closed her eyes slowly.

She didn't know how much time passed before she had found the emotional strength to lift herself off

that bathroom floor. Finally, she made her way out of the hotel. Her body was covered in the marks

from Luke's abuses so she knew she could not film today. The only option she had was to ask the

director for leave so that she could rest.

This television series was produced by Kevin's company, so his employees naturally had a healthy

respect for her. Their boss supported her so they didn't dare offend her.

Upon returning home, Cherry lay down on the sofa. For the first time, she was not distracted and felt

the full trauma for the injuries he had caused. Her legs were extremely sore. Looking at them, she

realized he had bruised them very badly.

Cherry screamed in frustration. She quickly went to splash some water on her face. The face which

looked back at her in the mirror was as white as snow and her eyes had a crazed look to them. She

barely recognized herself. 'Is that really me?' she wondered.

"Luke, I was willing to let you go after last night, but because of the way you behaved, I will have to be

completely ruthless in taking my revenge," said Cherry to herself while narrowing her eyes with a

maniacal look on her face.

She'd already killed someone before, so what if she killed someone else now?

Plus, with her financial resources, there was no need for her to get her hands dirty herself. She just

needed to hire the right people to get the job done. They would be more than happy to be hired for the

job.

"Luke, just fall off the face of this earth!" she screamed, venting her fury.
