Chapter 73
73: CRAZY CONFLICTS
ARIEL’S POV
Giaring at the both of us, Luke stormed in our direction, his fists clenched tightly and his face red with anger. But I still needed to know where he came from. Because it was like he just appeared right here.
“Take it easy, man; it’s not what you think,” Daniel tried explaining as Luke got closer. The next thing he received was a punch in the face. It caused Daniel to shift backwards.
“How dare you try to get your dirty self on my wife?!” Luke seized Daniel’s shirt and gave him another punch.
“Luke! What the hell is wrong with you?!” I shrieked. I moved nearer, trying to break Luke’s grip on Daniel.
He pushed me away, blinded by his jealousy or whatever was going on in his head. I almost fell down, but I kept my balance.
Luke wanted to deliver another punch, but Daniel was quick to seize his hand. Daniel struck Luke on the face vigorously.
Daniel hooked Luke and threw him to the ground. I could hear the sound of Luke landing, and I have to say,
it was really painful.
Luke was about to get to his feet, but Daniel punched him hard in the face. However, Luke struck back at Daniel and gave him back-to-back punches.
Their brawl went on for minutes, with blood covering both of their faces. I tried yelling some senses into their heads, but their anger had blinded their eyes and clogged their ears.
I spotted some cops passing by, and I had to run in their direction.
“I need your help, please,” I told them.
“What’s going on down there?” One of the cops asked, watching Daniel and Luke brawl with themselves.
“Yeah, I need help with that.” I gestured toward them.
The cops swiftly advanced toward the two infuriated men, and they had to separate the both
of them.
“Will the two stop it?!” One of the policemen barked, getting in between Daniel and Luke. Why do you guys have to behave like children?”
“He started this shit!” Daniel snapped, trying to catch his breath. His face was covered in blood, and so was Luke.
“He was trying to take advantage of my wife!” Luke snarled.
“That’s a lie!” Daniel shrieked in return.
“Okay, that’s enough!” The cop silenced them. “I don’t want to see this nonsense anymore. If this repeats itself next time, I’ll have no option but to make sure the two of you spend the night in jail. Is that understood?”
“Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?” Luke asked the cop in a proud tone.
“Luke Reynold,” the cop answered, crossing his arms. “Yeah, I’ve heard about you. You think you’re some sort of big shot?”
Luke glared at him. “You do not want to be messing with me.’
“Are you threatening me?” The cop asked slowly.
“Let’s just say this is a warning.” Luke’s glare compounded.
The cop chuckled. “I’m sorry, sir. But you’re not above the law. And if I were you, I’d go get my
face cleaned up.”
The policemen all walked away after that. Luke and Daniel exchanged dark looks promptly. Daniel stormed off after that.
Luke turned to me. “I hope you’re happy now.”
“You hope I’m happy? Luke, you were the one who went ahead to do some crazy shit. You didn’t even bother to know what happened. You just came and strated acting like the mighty Hulk Hogan.”
“What is there to know about? It’s clear you’re cheating on me with that man.”
“You know what, Luke? I don’t have time for this nonsense. Think all you want.”
The moment I began treading away, he nailed my hand.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m leaving, okay?! When you’re back to your senses, let me know.”
He pulled me to him, and when I got closer, I pushed him backwards. He dragged me with him. as he fell down, and the both of us landed on the ground.
I looked into his eyes, but I quickly broke the I was about to get up, but he dragged me to him once again.
“I don’t really understand you, Mr. A minute ago, you were all steamed up. Now look at you; you’re trying to act so romantic.”
“Don’t you like this romantic side of me?” He smirked. Was this how he always changed his moods so fast?
“I don’t,” I told Luke, making a hard face.
“You don’t?” He kept on with his smirk, wrapping his hands around my waist.
“I don’t, now let go of me,” I demanded, but his grip became tighter. I could feel his fingers moving around my waist, and a passionate gaze took place at the moment.
“Hey, can the two of you get your butts off the ground?!” An old lady yelled at the both of us. Her voice was as tiny as hell.
I laughed before getting up. Luke rose to his feet as well.
“What were the two of you trying to do, huh? This is public. Don’t you know people can see you?”
“We’re sorry,” I told the old lady.
“Don’t tell me sorry,” she said in an unfriendly tone, and she walked away, saying only God knows what. But her tiny voice caused me to laugh.
“You really need to get your face cleaned up,” I told Luke.
He walked away from me without saying anything in return.
“Hey,” I uttered, moving behind him. “Wait for me!”
LUKE’S POV
The day had gotten dark, and I was at a strip club, waiting patiently for someone. And you could just guess who that was, It was that guy who kept on calling me, talking about some information. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
I wanted to meet him face-to-face, so he gave me this location. And here I was, biding patiently, sitting for minutes. I didn’t understand why he had to choose this location. Of all the places in the world.
He said he would let me know when he arrived. So I was waiting for his call and looking at the entrance of the club. The thumping bass reverberated through the air, blending with the raucous laughter and hushed conversations.
I took my eyes to the entrance once again, and then two scantily clad strippers approached my table, swaying their hips seductively. Their eyes sparkled with mischief, and their lips curled into inviting smiles. They were here to entice, to captivate, and to ensure that my money found its way into their pockets. But hell no.
I politely declined their advances, but one of them leaned in, her perfume filling my senses. Come on, handsome,” she purred. “Let me show you a good time.”
My lips curled into a polite smile, and my voice was firm but gentle. “Thank you, but I’m waiting for someone.”
“There’s no need to be so shy. We’re going to make sure you get the night of a lifetime,” the other smirked, walking up to me.
She had that seductive smile and wanted to trail her fingers on my chest, but I seized her hand.
“Don’t,” I glared at her and let go of her hand forcefully. They both gave me an angry look before walking away.
I was glad those devils were gone.
My phone began to ring, and I answered it immediately.
“I’ve arrived. You can come meet me outside,” the caller said.
