The Love From Vengeance

54: A HUNDRED BILLION FEATS

ARIEL’S POV

“Let go of me, you.” I demanded that Luke release me from his hands.

“You were trying to act stubborn, right? You don’t know how crazy I can get.” Luke smirked, his manly hands still on my back.

“I think I do. I have lived with you for three good years.” All the moments were still etched in my head.

“Do you have to bring the past back into all of our conversation?” Luke asked. He clearly knew how I was hurt occasionally those years.

“I can never forget those memories.” These words needed to be stuck in that head of his.

“I don’t care about that. I’m just looking forward to our wedding tomorrow.“He talked like he was actually happy about that.

I rolled my eyes. “Yeah right. Getting married to you again. Such an important day in my life.” My

tone was sarcastic.

“I see you’re about to start another unnecessary talk. But guess what? I’m not up for that.” His smile

was so annoying.

“Go to hell,” I said harsly. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Just shut up, will you?” He had the nerve to tell me this.

“Make me.” I had to feign a smile. What the hell was he going to do anyway?

“Oh, I will,” Luke said, moving his face closer and looking deep into my eyes.

His gaze and his breath said a lot of things. The feeling of his fingers transfigured. Yes, his touch was now different, and this spark was unfolding within me.

After seconds of silence, our eyes were still locked in, and our lips drew closer. He still had a hold of me, and my hands were wrapped around his neck. It was quite sensational, staring into his bewitching eyes.

The feeling was unthinkable, and the look he gave me said a hundred billion feats. I tried to grasp this, since the moment was unimaginable.

His lips were extremely close to mine, and my eyes were closed as I continued to feel his warm breath. But then I had to come back to my senses. There was no way some beauty would get the best of me. I was not going to be captivated by this. I would never let go of the past.

Staring at Luke, I pinched him at the back of his neck, and he let out an inaudible scream in pain. He wanted to let go of me, but I wrapped my hands around his neck tightly.

“Are you crazy? Do you want me to slam me to the floor?” I bawled at him.

“You birdbrain, you were the one who pinched me.” Luke glared, returning the tone.

“Yeah, but I didn’t say you should let go of me!” Seriously, he didn’t have to do that. Where’s the respect for a lady?

“Oh, I’m going to throw you to the floor.” He smirked. His sardonic countenance made me sick every

second.

“You wouldn’t dare.” My tone was deep.

“Don’t tempt me,” Luke said, the smirk still lingering on his visage.

“You scumbag!” I bawled, and I pinched him again. This time, it was harder than the first. I was going to show him how crazy I could get.

After that, Luke flung me to the bed, and I screamed while he did that.

Damn, this man was crazier than I expected. I never thought he was actually going to throw me off his arm. He did that just because I pinched him? Payback? What the heck!

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Luke snarled. I wasn’t terrified of his screams. I wasn’t that same

Ariel back then, when we were still married.

“Nothing. Absolutely nothing,” I answered calmly, not glancing at him.

“You’ve gone nuts, I see.” Luke brought out his crazy thoughts. He shouldn’t be surprised, right?

“I was just trying to be like you.” These words I said, accompanied with a grin.

“I don’t think so,” Luke uttered bitterly. “Are you going to get up or not?”

“Not doing that; my leg hurts.” I refused to do what he said.

“I’ll just have to carry you then. But don’t pinch me, okay?”

“Why are you eager to take me to your house, huh? What do you have under your sleeves?” I quizzed, not that curious though.

“Nothing. I’m just trying to take my lovely wife home. Is there anything wrong with that?” He uttered. Slow tone, feigned smile.

“Woah, woah, woah. Hold on there; I am not your wife.” I didn’t want him to start living in his

imagination.

“You’ll soon be. In just about a matter of time.”

“I can see you’re really excited about this.” But honestly, I didn’t think he was.

“Of course I am, since it’s for my grandfather.” Yeah, he was obviously lying. That tone didn’t sound genuine.

“Oh gosh, this is so annoying,” I said beneath my breath as I took my eyes down.

“Just get up, will you?”

“No,” I replied instantly.

“I said get up.” Luke’s tone became harsh.

“I said no.” I was able to match his pace.

“You’re going to be my wife, so you better start doing what I tell you to:”

“You’re not my boss,” I retorted.

“Wives are supposed to be submissive to their husbands,” Luke said, taking some steps forward.

“Not me.” I threw a comeback, standing up from the bed.

Surveying the billionaire standing in front of me, frowining, I treaded to the door, walking past him.

“You want to take me to your house, right? Okay, then, let’s go.”

Luke stood still, giving me that ugly stare. But he shook his head with a sigh, washing away the negative thoughts.

I raised an eyebrow at him, the expression clearly telling him to get his butts in my direction.

“Yeah, let’s go,” he said in a whisper, and stepped to me.

I walked out of the room, leading the way, with Luke moving behind me.

“Are you strong enough to walk?” He asked, as if he cared about me.

“Yes, I am,” I replied, turning to him with a smile. “It’s not like you’re concerned anyway.

“Can you just be calm and act nice for just a minute? You’ve really been stressing me out, honestly,” Luke enunciated, installing his hands on his waist.

“I would have, but this is what you did to me. You broke me, and that’s what led to this strong heart.

“Okay, at least I made you strong.”

I chuckled. “Don’t make me laugh.”

“True talk,” Luke said, nodding. “Now move.”

“I’m going to, but not because I’m scared of you.

Luke took his gaze elsewhere. “I couldn’t care less.”

I was about to move forward, and suddenly, the intense pain in my belly unfolded again, causing me to stumble. However, Luke caught me before I could land on the floor. Cleaving my hands, he pulled me closer to his body, wrapping his hands around my waist. I would have thrust him back, but the pain took full control of me.

“I knew you weren’t strong enough to walk,” Luke said softly, looking into my eyes.

“If you knew, then why did you have to come here to drag me to your house?” I leaned my head on his chest. It was not something I wanted to do. But the pain right now was so out of the world.

“I need to go back,” I said in hushed tones, and I wanted to make my way back to the room, but Luke

refused to let

go

of me.

“No, you’re not going back. I’m taking you home,” he whispered.

I looked him in the eyes, and he slowly carried me in his arms. After gazing at me, he embarked on

walking.
