Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Lucas’s POV

Her eyes go wide on my statement. She lies on the bed, shocked and scared. Reminds me of a stray kitten.

I advance towards her dangerously and she eyes my steps cautiously.

“ Sta..stay away from me. “ She warns, trying to act brave. Just like a feral kitten would. But this is just a surplus to my newfound amusement.

“ Who is going to stop me? “ I taunt.

Her breath hitches and she gulps in fear. I march towards her, the sole of my shows making an echo. The only noise in this secluded place.

With swift movements, I drag her from her feet. Making her lie on the bed, flat. Before she can protest or get up. I get on top of her.

“ You do smell good. “ I whisper, close to her neck. My breath lightly brushing her skin, making sensations deep within.

“ Please…don’t. “ She begs, again. I wouldn’t take her seriously but then I see wetness on her face.

I touch her cheek gently and wipe away the teardrop.

“ Your crying? Silly girl, I told you, you’re not my type. “ I say getting up from on top of her.

“ Th…then why did you... “ She wonders off, not completing her sentence.

“ You’re easy to toy with, and it’s quite fun. “ I exclaim, with newfound happiness.

“ All you have to do is, get a video of Sophia mixing that medicine. That’s enough. “ I state, finally coming to point.

This time, she doesn’t resist. At last, realizing who she is dealing with. I don’t take no for an answer. I get things done my way, no matter what. When you have the money, anything can be bought.

I get a checkbook out.

I then continue to scribble in some numbers. I tear it and give it to her.

“ Here, 100 K. Get the task done and you’ll get 100 K more. “ I explain.

“ Not everyone is a gold digger. “ She states, looking at me with blood-red eyes. She pushed away my hands.

Her act makes me raise my brows in question.

“ Everyone wants money. You’re no different Emma. Don’t act. “

“ Everyone needs money, Lucas. Want is a dangerous thing. “ She states boldly.

“ And a need is addictive. Be someone’s want, rather than a need. “ I advise. My words holding deep meaning.

I lead her outside, she gets in the back seat

“ I don’t bite. Are you that scared of me?” I ask her, as she refused to sit in the passenger seat.

“ N..no. I am not scared. Besides this way, you look more like my driver. “ She says, putting up a goofy smile. Trying to hide her terrified state. A smile forms on my lips.

She’s cute.

She guides me the way, back to her home. Reaching the neighborhood, I realize it’s not a safe one. I wonder why she lives in such a shallow place, what do her parents do?

“ By the way Emma, I wouldn’t need to force myself on women to have sex. Bitches be opening their legs for a few dollars. “ I remark.

She narrows her eyes at me.

“ Who do you think you are, Superman? “ She squeaks, in a high-pitched voice.

“ I can be your superman in bed. “ I reply with a deep, charming voice that can get any woman.

“ Ew. “ She replies, her voice laced with disgust.

Before I can say anything, she slams the car door and leaves.

The audacity! Who do I think I am? I am Lucas Knight. One of the top businessmen and bachelor. That’s who I am.

This woman is infuriating!

Emma’s POV

I reach my apartment’s door to see Noah standing there. I get a little startled and back off.

“ What? Didn’t expect me here? “ He asks. His voice was a little slurry. Is he drunk?

“ Noah are you alright? “ I question.

“ You tell me, you were the one who cheated on me. “ He replies back sarcastically.

“ Noah I didn’t cheat on you. I love you. That picture wasn’t real. Lucas put me on his lap abruptly. “ I try to explain.

He just scoffs at my explanation.

“ You’re drunk. “ I point out.

“ I’m not drunk. I’m drowning and the best part is I don’t fucking feel the pain. “ He shouts, it’s sad to see him deteriorating in such away.

Day by day, he is fading away.

“ You’re not in your right sense. That’s not the Noah I know. “ I state.

“ He died the moment you cheated on him. “ He bellows.

“ No Noah no, he died the moment Sophia entered his life. “ I shout back, why can’t he see the truth.

One thing is very clear to me now. I need to get rid of Sophia as soon as possible.

“ You need to leave. It’s getting late. Do you have someone I drive you home? “ I ask worriedly.

“ I’m not leaving. You won’t be getting rid of me that easily. You’re still bound by the contract. “ He states menacingly. Stepping towards me. I back off a little.

He grabs my hand and shoves me into my own apartment.

“ No. “ I shout, trying to stop him from dragging me in.

“ Noah please leave me. You’re hurting my hand. “ I scream in pain.

Suddenly my arm is snatched away from Noah’s grip by another manly hand.

“ She told you to fucking stop. “ A many voices utter, his voice sending chills. As if someone is very angry.

I look back to see it is Lucas! But why is he protecting me, that too against his own best friend?
