His blood ran cold.
Whatever else Victor said, Lukas didn’t hear any of it because he hurried over to the window and looked down. One couldn’t imagine the relief that went through him when all he saw on the ground was the fireplace poker and not Rhea’s body.
He released a fleeting breath, leaning against the wall while his hand came to press on his forehead. Now he wasn’t panicking, it came to his mind that the window in his room had bars while the veranda door was sealed meaning that Rhea couldn’t get access to the outside.
But then, what the hell was she doing? She smashed his window with a fire poker for christ’s sake.
At once, Lukas pushed off the wall, planning to go check up on what she was doing only for Victor to block his path.
“You don’t have to go there. I’m sure she just wants to get your attention,” Victor said to him in a hurry, seeing that Lukas was not slowing down anytime soon.
“Out of the way, Victor,” Lukas sidestepped him as if he wasn’t there in the first place.
“This is why I hate drama queens,” Victor cursed under his breath yet followed after him.
He didn’t trust that Rhea girl and had to make sure she didn’t place a spell on Lukas or something.
…..
Victor, the guardian, followed his cousin to the third floor and upon getting to the entrance of the room, he saw Lukas freeze and that was for a good reason.
Victor gulped when he saw that water was leaking into the passageway even with the door closed and he could only guess the disaster that Rhea created inside. Someone was in deep shit.
Slowly, almost dramatically, Lukas unlocked the door and more water poured into the passage as soon as it was opened.
Lukas didn’t move, he stayed as still as a statue and when Victor peered over his shoulder to see the disaster Rhea created, a shocked gasp left his lips. What the fuck? Was she crazy?
The water in the room was touching their ankle and all the ruined items in the room were beginning to float. As if that wasn’t enough, one of Lukas’s beloved super expensive Calvin Klein t-shirts floated along and Victor said a silent prayer for her soul.
Perhaps, he had been worrying too much, because he was sure as hell that Lukas would kill that spoiled brat now.
As if that wasn’t enough, Victor watched Rhea, the culprit of this disaster, seated on the bed with her leg thrown over the other while Lukas’s odd yet newest pet rested on her thigh. She looked nonchalance, none of this bothered her – because she created it. The nerve.
“Well, hello, look who decided to visit,” she purred, a victorious glint in her eyes while she stroked Redhead’s furs.
Lukas didn’t say a word yet his gaze was enough to pulverize anything in his path. He just kept looking around all the properties he had lost in a twinkle of an eye. No one could tell what Lukas had in mind but it wasn’t something good.
Lukas took a step forward and it almost seemed the ground quaked in Victor’s mind. He took another step and the world shook.
Oh no, as much as he didn’t like Rhea, he would not be the one to clean up what was left of her after Lukas was done with her.
At once, he put himself in front of Lukas, a hand on his chest intending to stop him, “Come on Lukas, turn around. She’s not worth it,” He shook his head as if to prove his point.
“Leave,” Lukas told him.
“Lukas, listen to me -“
“Leave now!” Lukas thundered this time, his gaze so fiery when he looked into his eyes.
Victor’s hand fell and he gave Rhea one long pitiful look before he took his leave. He tried his best and Rhea’s death would not be on him.
She caused it all.
Victor shut the door on his way out – he didn’t want to hear her screams when Lukas skinned her alive.
Even when Victor left, Rhea didn’t show a trace of fear – or maybe she was trying hard not to, especially now his gaze was becoming frightening akin to a furious beast. Her head tilted to the side mockingly; she didn’t regard Lukas’s presence.
Rhea was taking a huge gamble and there were only two results in the end – her death or Lukas acknowledging her right here. Fortunately, she was not afraid of her death, Elijah would be safe at least.
“You have quite the nerve!” Lukas roared, striding towards her with a great speed that frightened her.
At that moment, Lukas looked like a massive lion about to pounce on his prey and as much as her instinct warned her to run, she stood her ground. She was a strong woman and would not be intimidated by that arrogant, neanderthal caveman!
However, when Lukas came too close to her, Rhea found herself cowering back but only for a moment because Lukas pinned her to the bed by the neck while Redhead jumped off the bed and onto the nightstand with a bark. The situation looked precarious right now, the dog thought.
“Who do you think you are?!” Lukas sneered, the rims of his eyes were red and veins were bulging from his neck and forehead.
As much as he had enough money to replace all she had broken, some of the items were limited edition. Aside from that, this was a huge disrespect to his position.
He was Lukas Luciano, the only son, and heir to the Luciano clan. Everyone feared and revered him, even his sister Chloe wouldn’t attempt a stunt like this and go scot-free. So who does Rhea think she is? She was nothing but a conquest he won! He would teach her respect today.
But to Lukas’s surprise, she began to laugh – even when he had his grip around her neck. She puzzles him.
“So now you got me, what are you going to do? Kill me? Oh, spank me?” She taunted him.
Ariana was mocking him, Lukas realized and that didn’t sit well with him. However, his eyes suddenly brightened upon her comment and that was the mistake she made.
Rhea was smug until Lukas said with a strange glint in his eyes, “Good idea,” and it hit her.
Her eyes widened when she realized his intention, “No, no, no!” Rhea panicked and tried to push Lukas off her as she tried to escape but it was too late.
Lukas was huge and stronger in the first place so Rhea couldn’t fight him off when he grabbed her by the hips and turned her around in the middle of the bed amid her fierce struggle.
This was outrageous, she thought in her head.
Lukas raised her on all four and with him kneeling on the bed, pushed her down by the neck such that her butt was a bit higher while the side of her face was pressed to the mattress.
“You are a crazy bastard, let me go!” Rhea continued to curse him even as he pulled on her legs, pushing them in between his thighs such that he straddled them and she couldn’t move while he pinned her both hands beneath her stomach. In one word, he completely incapacitated her.
“You should have known I was a crazy man when you decided to infuriate me!” He breathed into her ears, making sure there was no chance for her to slip through because she was a sneaky little thing.
“What kind of gentleman decides to spank a lady!” She growled at Lukas who changed his mind, deciding a wet tie he picked from the flooded floor was much better at binding her hands.
“First of all, I’m not a gentleman which you know, otherwise you would have behaved more like a lady,” Lukas grunted, tightening the tie more than usual. It was a punishment.
“Ouch,” Rhea complained, not that the bastard cared.
“That’s just the beginning,” Lukas promised her, a dark glint in his eyes and she shivered. What has she gotten herself into?
