Filed to story: Bring It On My Mafia Life Novel (Rhea & Lukas)
However, as much as Rhea wanted to hit him, she couldn’t. If that evil woman could almost torture her to death, who knows what their leader, Lukas is capable of doing to her. So she bore the anger in her heart while praying Elijah was safe wherever he was.
“You should have let me die,” Rhea hissed and his face distorted at once as if he couldn’t stand the thought of that.
“Why should I let a beautiful woman like you die, it would be a huge loss to the world,” Lukas said.
“Stop calling me that,” She warned him.
“Mia Bella, why shouldn’t I?” he retorted, a teasing smile on his lips.
Rhea shut her eyes close, she didn’t know which one was worse. His teasing smile or his flatterings that pissed her off so much. How could someone be so irritating?
With that anger, she shot back,
“Because you don’t have the right to call me that. You kidnapped and brought me here where your people almost killed me. What gives you the right to -“
“Shhh,”
Rhea was surprised when he cut her off by pressing his finger against his lips – thankfully, it wasn’t her lips.
“Before you heap down the accusations you’re more than willing to lay on me, let’s go down memory lane, because if I could remember, you were the one who stole from me first,” He reminded her.
“Your life wouldn’t have been intertwined with mine if you had kept your pretty little hands to yourself,” He added immediately, “Although I do like your hands on me, the only disadvantage was that I didn’t feel them until you were gone. Perhaps, the next time, you go a little slower. I don’t really mind,”
Was he flirting with her? Rhea had to blink twice to confirm what she just heard wasn’t part of her imagination.
Unlike before when she was scared, Rhea crawled closer to Lukas till they were on the same eye level, their breath mingling together.
Rhea tilted her head, whispering into his ears, “You are sick. And trust me, the only time you would feel my hands on you is me crushing your balls,” She threatened.
However, Lukas laughed instead, it was a deep melodious rumble in his chest, “Oh honey,” He was back to holding her gaze and Rhea didn’t back down from the challenge.
He said, “I like it hard,”
Rhea’s eyes widened, a blush creeping up her face, “Oh my God, you’re unbelievable!” She panicked.
What kind of human being was he? Must everything he says allude to sex?
Her reaction was so cute that Lukas couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She was so innocent and there were a whole lot of things he wanted to teach her. Or maybe he just craved to paint her soul black, only then would a monster like him get his mate.
Mate?
How funny?
“As much as I’ve enjoyed my conversation with you, duty calls,” Lukas said, standing up to his feet.
“You’re leaving me here?” The question slipped off her lips unintentionally.
Lukas smiled, “You seem too eager to spend time with me,”
“Keep on dreaming,” she rolled her eyes.
Lukas put his hands in his pocket only for his brows to furrow while Rhea looked the other way.
“The keys, Rhea,” He demanded.
Rhea sighed, why did he find out so soon? She had no choice but to pull out the bunch of keys from beneath the sheet. She had slipped it from his pocket earlier when she leaned closer.
She tossed it towards him and Lukas caught it.
“Quite a good skill you got there, it’s quite unfortunate that we don’t be spending much time together,”
That question made Rhea turn around at once, “What do you mean by that?”
But Lukas wouldn’t answer her, “Be a good girl and don’t even attempt escaping, Rhea, I would always find you. Also, I named the dog after the color of your hair,” He informed her.
“Lukas!”
Rhea tried to go after him only to be held back by the wires attached to her body and before she could look up, Lukas was gone.
All smiles disappeared from Lukas’s face as soon as he left Rhea. Although he had been smiling all this while, the truth was that all wasn’t well.
His cousin Victor was upon him as soon as he came into the room.
“How is she?” He asked.
“Alive and sassy,” Lukas said.
“She still has the guts to be impudent after what she caused?” Victor sneered.
“She didn’t ask to be tortured,” Lukas retorted.
“And you’re still defending her? Unbelievable,” Victor huffed, shaking his head in disbelief before turning to face him, “You killed three of our men because of her and left the gang in total unrest,”
“They disobeyed my orders, no one had the right to lay a hand on her without my calling,” Lukas stood his ground.
“You heard Macy, she was only interrogating her. Moreover, this wasn’t the first time she got information from a target on your behalf. So what’s different about this one? And please don’t tell me you’re so taken by this girl that you killed three of our own for her, ” Victor asked, staring him straight in the eyes.
…..
And that was a challenge.
“Do I seem that weak in your eye?!” Lukas growled now, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, “You would take the words of a mere assistant over mine, your leader?!”
Victor cautiously took a step back, having realized she had crossed the line. Lukas might not be as cruel as his father, but that doesn’t undermine the fact he was brought up by a monster. Added to all the violence he has seen over the years, Lukas was lethal.
“You think that just a mere pussy would cloud my mind and judgment?!” He thundered at Victor who gulped.
“I knew what I saw and Macy had no intention of keeping Rhea alive and you are in quite a haste to forget that she’s the key to getting to Elijah. Have you forgotten our purpose all along because I’m sure as well haven’t forgotten!”
