Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1519 One Step Closer (Part Two)

"Don't worry, we'll be home in no time," Luke said softly, turning to fasten Michelle's seat belt. He

started the engine and drove away from that place. This might be his most tender act yet. About

whether he had caused a stir or what it might lead to, Luke didn't consider at all. His thoughts were

consumed by getting Michelle home as fast as possible.

Bradley stood there, still stunned. He didn't come back to reality until Erin and the other girls came out

of the washroom. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Erin, this has you written all over it," Bradley said, smiling coldly. At first, he did look down upon Luke

as he thought Luke was just a bodyguard and he couldn't compete with him. Then his father told him

that Luke wasn't just a bodyguard but also Edward's father's adopted son. In other words, there was no

way he could compete with that.

"So what? I just taught her a lesson." Erin replied, biting her lip. Although she felt restless inside, she

didn't care about it too much.

"Anyway, I just want to let you know that you're barking up the wrong tree. Remember what Luke said?

I wouldn't wanna be you, right now!" Bradley mocked with a smile. He had a feeling that Luke's

revenge would not be simple or swift.

"Trying to scare me?" Erin asked. 'He was pretty big, though. And he looked thoroughly pissed. But

surely he wouldn't go that far...' she thought.

"Humph! Just wait and see! You can ask your father about FX International Group. I'm sure he can fill

you in." Bradley glanced at her with sympathetic eyes and left quickly. He blamed himself for what had

happened just now. He was too careless to let things get this out of hand. He was the class president,

and it was his responsibility.

"Ah! FX International Group, the leading business in S city! What should we do, Erin? The CEO doesn't

know the meaning of forgive and forget!" one girl said. All of these girls lived here, how could they not

know about FX International Group? They were frightened. Edward had a reputation for ruthlessness.

"So what? I've met the president of FX International Group and I know what he looks like. I'm sure that

man isn't the president. So you don't need to worry," Erin said, though fear still gnawed at her. 'It can't

be true! If it's true, my dad will skin me alive, ' she thought.

"Maybe he's connected with FX. I don't think Bradley would have just tossed that out there." Erin wasn't

totally terrified, but she couldn't speak for the others. After all, they were all from the families of Petty

Circle, so they couldn't suffer major losses.

"Enough! This is all sus. Chill, okay?" Erin said. She was right, it was all suspicious. And their prattling

didn't help. But on the off-hand chance it was true, she needed to let her family know. They scraped

their way to the top, and entered the upper-class world with great difficulty. She didn't want Edward or

Luke to go after her family. She needed to talk to her father now.

Speaking of Luke, he drove Michelle home like he was behind the wheel of a Formula 1. Although

Michelle tried to disturb him with her hands when he was driving, he fought her off and kept control of

the wheel thanks to his years of driving experience.

"Come on. Be careful." Luke said, unfastening the seat belt for Michelle and taking her out of the car.

The minute when she got closer to Luke, she clung to him tightly like a leech.

"Luke, tell me. Will I die? It feels like thousands of ants are biting me," Michelle said. She was really

loopy. She didn't stop Luke when he announced their marriage in front of her classmates. But she really

didn't need to be secretive anymore. In fact, she should have announced it earlier. It might have saved

her a lot of trouble.

"No. Don't worry! You'll be fine soon," Luke said, carrying Michelle upstairs. Entering their room, he

uncovered Michelle, removing his coat from her body, and brought her to the bathroom.

"But I feel so hot. It seems like I'm gonna burn up," Michelle said, trying to rip off her clothes with her

own hands. She didn't get much, but she managed to undo her bra. She took Luke's big, cold hands

and put them on her exposed breasts.

"Let me help you take a bath. You'll be fine in a minute," Luke said, his face getting red. So he grasped

her moving hands quickly and then stooped to fill the bathtub.

"What's the matter, don't you like me?" She didn't like being rebuffed, no matter how out of it she was.

Her words were slurred. She felt her skin burning like her blood vessels were about to rupture.

"That's not it. I... I don't want it like this," Luke said, hands on her shoulders, looking at her with fiery

eyes. He had suffered a lot because of her. But he didn't want her like this. This wasn't how it was

supposed to be. What he wanted was her heart and soul, not to take advantage of her when she wasn't

lucid. 'She wants it now, but what happens when it wears off? I don't want her to resent me, ' Luke

thought. Luke was not willing to take that chance.

"I know. But relax. We're husband and wife. I want you," Michelle replied and then stood on her toes to

kiss Luke. This was torture. Luke's coldness, ther burning up inside. She couldn't stand it any longer.

Luke set aside his worries. It had been a long night, and he was only human. She broke down his

walls, and he grabbed her, kissed her back harder.

The night was long and their love was deep. The romance and passion between them blossomed.

Maybe they could take things to the next level after this intimate skin-on-skin experience. Erin might

have had evil in mind, but that didn't mean it had to end badly.

After making love, Michelle basked in the afterglow and finally surrendered to sleep, while Luke was

totally awake. She was a virgin, which he didn't even dare to imagine. Michelle was just full of

surprises.

Looking at the girl curled up against him, holding his arms, Luke felt more responsibility than ever. That

was a feeling he never had before.

Perhaps he needed a serious relationship, not one full of drama, but a simple and warm home.

She tried so hard, which he saw but often chose to ignore. People said he was ruthless. True, he kept

people at arm's length because his life as a bodyguard was dangerous. He didn't need anything or

anyone to worry about, because that would either hurt him, or could be used against him.

Michelle woke up, and her body was sore. Looking at the other side of the bed when she opened her

eyes, she found nobody there, which made her feel lost.

She thought back on their night of passion and blushed. Then she screamed loudly and blundered into

the washroom after glancing at the clock on the table. 'Not again! I'll be late, ' she thought.

But she looked in the mirror. She was ratchet. 'Screw it! I'll stay home today. I can't show up like this.

Everyone would talk, ' she thought. 'And that's the last thing I need.'

Thinking about the things Erin had done to her, Michelle squinted her eyes and took on a sinister cast.

'You bitch. You won't get away with this, ' she thought. In this case, she would like to make fun of Erin

so that she could understand the feeling of being drugged. Anyway, she always had somebody who

would like to do something for her. Wasn't it right?

But Luke was already on it.

"Mr. Mu, how long would it take to devastate Tosca Corporation?" Luke asked seriously in front of

Edward.

"Tosca Corporation? That upstart company? What? Someone there pissed you off?" Edward asked out

of curiosity, because he had never known Luke to ask him for anything like this.

"You could say that," Luke replied in a matter-of-fact tone. He was totally serious now.

"All right! Give me some time and you'll have your answer. By the way, what happened? This has to be

good," Edward said with a teasing smile. He really wanted to know what drove Luke to this point.
