…..
Sigh, his poor cousin.
“How long are you going to be this way? You are a master of seduction, just do your thing and make her fall for you.”
But Lukas told him, scratching his nose, “That would have been much easier if I hadn’t fallen for her first,”
Victor whistled, “You are definitely in hot soup,”
“I know. Who would have thought so.” Lukas took a deep breath before chugging his coffee.
“Why not just have sex with her and see if your feelings remain the same?” he suggested, thinking that it was a great idea.
“Ever since you had sex with Mimi, has your feelings for her changed?” Lukas asked him instead.
Victor’s eyes widened, “Don’t tell me you….”
“Eyes are everywhere, Victor. Be a lot more careful the next time you have sex in a car else your enemies end you in your moment of carelessness.”
Victor was stressed by the news, but he was much more worried about Mimi. How much danger has he exposed her into?
“It’s complicated,” He suddenly said.
“What?” Lukas was confused.
“You asked whether my feelings have changed since I had sex with Mimi. All I can say is that it got complicated instead. Everybody has a reason for having sex but its main purpose is for procreation. However, for me, it’s spiritual, a deeper bonding, a communion with a mind that works with mine… ” A smile crossed Victor’s lips and he had a dreamlike fascination on his face, “I think I’m going to stick with her this time.”
“Good for you,” Was all Lukas said before his expression darkened, “Because if Rhea cries because Mimi cried because you made her cry, I’m not letting you off, cousin or not.”
Victor laughed yet became serious at the end, “Noted.”
Lukas moved his focus from him as he said, “I have no right to demand Rhea reciprocates my feelings until Clara is out of the picture. Having Rhea to myself while engaged to Clara is a huge disrespect to her and my mother taught me better. That is why we’re getting my sister out this week, the faster this ends, the better for me.”
At that comment, Victor snapped his fingers, “Now, we’re on the same page, I’ve had this idea for a while now but it’s incomplete, but then time is not really on our side now. So?” He shrugged.
“Do tell,” Lukas said, placing his empty cup on the desk, giving his cousin all of the attention.
“Since we are positive that Chloe is locked up at your father’s residence, the greatest problem we have is lack of information. Your father holds his place like a fortress and the spies we sent so far have all been discovered, all except one who can’t even make a careless move for fear of being caught .”
“So?”
“I think our first move should be discovering Chloe’s location discretely before establishing the next plan of rescuing her.”
“That’s why you have been in communication with Winters,” Lukas figured out. He knew the whereabouts of important people in this family, how do you think he has been able to keep his position for this long? Information is power.
Winters is a freelance hacker that he employed her services for some time now and both of them developed a working relationship from thence. Although Lukas has his technicians, none of them were as good as her. Moreover, he needed her the most when he doesn’t want his activities monitored by the members of his family. After all, the technicians were wildly used by everyone in the family.
“Yes, I was figuring out if there was a way she could hack into your father’s security system to record footage, and monitor the surroundings. You know, retrieve the information we need. But then, your father is not called crazy for no reason. Winters says the encryption is like something she has never seen before but she can do that if someone helps from the inside. It has to be done manually.”
“Well then, we have one spy, he should do the work,” Lukas said but Victor shook his head.
“He doesn’t work in that department, even if he does, are you willing to sacrifice the one spy you have that monitors your father’s activities for you. It might take you months, if not years to successfully plant another one. Are you willing to take that risk? “
“Then what do you suggest we do? Are you saying I should abandon Chloe and marry that bug of a woman called Clara to suck the life out of me?”
“We could send outsiders,”
“Exactly? Who?! My paranoid father has a visual count of all the men in the organization. What makes you think whoever I send wouldn’t be recognized and caught? Then he would hurt Chloe to teach me a lesson!”
“Then send me,”
“What?”
Both men turned around to the source of the voice and one should see the way Lukas’s face turned to shit when he saw it was no other than Rhea.
“Are you kidding me right now?” Lukas said in a guttural tone, his face so dark it looked like a storm was brewing there.
Darkness Only Begot Darkness
Rhea underestimated her excitement. At the prospect of being friends with the lion, she had gone down to her room and performed her morning rituals as quickly as possible. Rhea wanted to find Lukas to begin her lessons immediately.
Having been stuck in this mansion with nothing to do, the prospect of having to do something challenging thrilled her. She had been bored to death now and the thought of learning how to be friends with a lion would be satisfying.
Hence, she hurried down to Lukas’s office without even drying her wet hair because she was eager to know his secret on how to tame Samson.
She was prepared to barge into the room only to discover that it was opened halfway and Lukas was deep in conversation with his cousin, Victor. She could recognize that voice anywhere.
Feeling awkward about eavesdropping, Rhea was about to leave when she heard her name, and her interest was piqued immediately. Who knows what they’re planning now? She had to know.
“I have no right to demand that Rhea reciprocates my feelings until Clara is out of the picture. Having Rhea to myself while engaged to Clara is a huge disrespect to her and my mother taught me better. That is why we’re getting my sister out this week, the faster this ends, the better for me.”
Aww, so sweet, Rhea would have melted if they were in a different circumstance. Yes, she was stunned by the revelation, Rhea was not moved by it. She was not going to be with Lukas.
As much as the sexual tension between them was so thick it was almost suffocating sometimes, that was all there was to them. Lukas was not in love with her, he was just lusting after her.
Just like a child excited over his new toys, his obsession would not last for long and would definitely die down after he gets what he wants from her.
…..
Sex.
They don’t love each other and even if they did, she can’t be with him.
Rhea knew if she stayed here, all of her dreams would be forgotten. Look at this, she can’t even move freely all because she’s a prisoner of war. And to be honest, being the wife of a Mafia Lord scared the shit out of her.
She would be in constant danger and have to be wary of enemies and did she forget to mention law enforcement as well. She was at risk of prison!
Rhea often wondered how the police haven’t been able to crack down on their organized crime activities when it was so obvious.
