Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
Tears began to roll down Clara’s cheek however Lukas rolled his eyes,
“Sorry, but that emotional manipulation doesn’t work on me. I’m only a fool for one woman and you don’t make the cut.”
“Then try and get rid of me, then!” Clara shouted at him.
As a woman, she felt so insulted that Lukas was praising another woman right in front of her – especially one that she was better than. Her prude was shattered.
“You think that my family would leave you alone?”
However, Lukas tsk-tsked, “Why does everyone assume that a Mafia only needs to kill to get rid of somebody?” He found it laughable.
“What else then?” Clara didn’t believe him. What was Lukas capable of if not destruction and death? Now she thought about it, what did she even see in him enough to push Luther away? She must have been under a charm or something.
“Why don’t we explore your greatest fear? What do you say?” Lukas said and Clara looked at him as if he had finally lost his mind.
Then she began to laugh. Clara laughed so hard that tears rolled off her cheeks. It was so funny. However, that laughter gurgled to a halt when the door suddenly opened and she saw that annoying cousin of his walk in with a suspicious briefcase and she tensed up.
What was in here? Was it his torture tool? Lukas was going to torture her? Of course, what else did she expect? Clara braced herself because no force on earth would make her beg Lukas for mercy. He wanted to torture her? Then he should go on with it.
“I see that both of you are having a fun time?” Victor teased him, standing in front of him.
“And I see that you are still working hard as his lackey as always,” Clara insulted him.
“Of course, I work really hard, because, unlike a certain somebody, I have a sense of loyalty,” Victor backtalked, unlike Lukas, who would have given her the silence instead.
Clara shut her mouth immediately, her attention now fixed on the briefcase the cousin was carrying.
Victor in question winked at her and that spoke volumes. Thus, the tension in the room increased as he faced Lukas and opened the case. Clara strained her neck to get a view but she couldn’t and her anxiety increased. Nor did it help matter when she heard Victor say,
“You better use that properly, cousin, there’s just one shot of it left,”
What the hell was inside the box?
Then she saw it and the blood drained from her face.
Lukas stood to his feet with an injection in hand.
“What is that? What are you planning to do to me, Lukas!” Clara yelled, evident fear on her face. Lukas was a bastard and that shot he had in hand couldn’t be something good.
“You want to know that badly?” Lukas smirked, knowing that he was the one in control here, adding to her fear, “In that case, this is Barbiturates, popularly known as the truth serum.”
Oh God, no.
Clara’s anxiety finally reached the limit and she desperately struggled against the bind. Lukas couldn’t get into her head. If he knew what she feared the most, then he was going to use it against her. That was the punishment he was talking about. God, how could she have been stupid?!
“No, don’t bring that close to me!” She screamed and struggled when Lukas got close to her. She can’t let him get that needle inside of her.
“Please, Lukas!” She resorted to begging him this time but he didn’t listen to her. Victor came over and held her down as Lukas injected the substance.
“No!!” Clara released a tormented wail as the deed was done.
Lukas better kill her, please because he can’t get into her head. He was going to destroy her.
Leon Was Interested In Lukas
She couldn’t stand this anymore, Rhea groaned inwardly as she stared at the awkward communication between Luca and Leon. Even if her host, Leon didn’t say anything, she had caught him eye fucking Luca a few times.
However, Leon only smiled smugly as if he hadn’t been checking out Lucas’ ass and went ahead. He had quite the confidence and Rhea didn’t say anything, he was her host after all. Hehe, she would only have to activate her matchmaking then.
Luca didn’t spare much look at Leon, yet Rhea could smell the attraction between them like a police dog and it was a burning inferno. Thinking about it now, she couldn’t help but wonder if this had been the same case with her and Lukas.
Had the both of them had the hots for each other and didn’t notice? Or maybe, she was the one too stubborn to admit their attraction, after all, Lukas had never failed to tell her he wanted her. Rhea knew that she was too stubborn for her good.
Currently, she and Leon were having a lavish meal and Rhea couldn’t help but wonder if the meal was just for the both of them or if there was a community of people yet to arrive at the table because it was too much. If looking at the mansion was not enough to convince one that Leon was wealthy, then the numerous cousins would. Rhea was so full she couldn’t move. Aside from that, the man was a good entertainer as well.
“No, not anymore,” Rhea chuckled, wiping the tears that had slipped down her cheeks as a result of the numerous Jokes Leon was telling her.
“Okay, just one more then,” Leon agreed. He then asked her, “Why does Humpty Dumpty love autumn?”
“I have no idea,” Rhea knew she would fail the question even if she bothered to answer.
Leon was elated that she couldn’t answer his question and said proudly,
…..
“Because he always has a great fall.”
Rhea threw her head back and laughed hard, and in the process, her gaze fell on Luca who had a small smile on the corner of his lips. What a pretender! If there was any doubt that Luca was interested in the man, it was cleared now.
Luca was standing just a few meters away from her and even when Leon asked him politely to sit beside her, he refused the offer claiming he was doing his job – trailing behind her like a ghost. Rhea wondered if she was the reason he wasn’t responding to the green lights Leon was giving him. As far as Rhea knew, Luca was as single as a pringle, nor did he have a love interest – until now.
This was why Rhea planned to go straight into her room after eating, giving Leon the chance to win Luca over and he wouldn’t have any more excuses. What a great plan, Rhea was confident it would work. Luca wouldn’t know what hit him, hehe. He couldn’t escape love this time.
“So how did the both of you meet?”
“Huh?”
“You and Lukas,” Rhea pointed out, “He didn’t get the chance to tell me the relationship between the both of you, only said that you’re the only person he could trust at the moment.”
“Oh, that. It’s quite funny, actually,” Leon confessed, a blush coating his cheeks.
“I want to hear it,” Rhea’s interest piqued.
Leon wiped his face with his palm and then started, “The truth is that I hit on Lukas, you know, full-blown steamy looks and powerful innuendos,”
“What?!” Rhea shouted, shell-shocked. What the heck was he talking about?
“Yep,” Leon admitted.
