"The hell you will" he dangerously mutters. The chilling coldness in Luther's voice reaches everyone's ears. And tension intensified but she remains unbothered. "I will" moving away from Jazz, she faces him with equal hostility."You are not the person to tell me what to do" she added. The dizziness she felt earlier vanished and she was inclined to indulge him. "Whatever I will do tonight is none of your business. I could have any man I want and you cannot stop me" she snickers whilst Luther's calm silence. "Let's see about that" he casually mutters."Yes, wait and see. Let's go, Jazz" without averting her gaze away from him, she called for Jazz. "Arah, please. Go home with CEO Steel. You're drunk and you need to rest" Jazz refused, making her seethe with anger. If gaze could kill, Jazz would have been lifeless on the floor. "Well then, you're not the only man in this city" with a clenched jaw, she snickers. She moves away from the two men and faces the curious guests on their c
"I can't?" she smirks with jeering mockery. They stare at each other for a moment, dueling for dominance. The tension is elevating until he heaves a sigh, conceding. The hand clutching her loosens and caresses her arm instead. "Yes, you can't. You cannot easily cast me out of your life, Arah. I'm not easy to budge no matter how hard you push me away. I thought you are fully aware of that" with a clenched jaw, he counters. While remaining to be quiet, her gaze sharply drills at him. "You are a Steel even before we got together, you know that, Arah. You're a daughter to mom and dad, please don't break them by doing this. If you think I am at fault, then punish me. Just me" he softly mutters while begging her. "Then leave. I don't want to see you again" she sneers before pulling her arm away from him. "You know I can't do that. I will be by your side no matter how much you hate me. I told you already, I will keep you" he softly mumbles. But she scoffs while arching his brow. "But I
Silence rules when she was too stunned to speak while he watches her surprise with a smile. "I'm not that drunk not to know who I'm making love to, Arah. I know everything that happened that night, even the time you quietly went out of the room" he calmly discloses while she paled in horror. They are at arm's length, enough to look at each other. But his hands stay on her waist, keeping her close."I only knew you from Tim's stories. I saw your pictures and I've been looking forward to meeting you. You're one of the reasons why I went back home earlier than planned" Surprised by the revelation, she raised a brow, to which he affirmed with a nod. "But those pictures did not give justice to how gorgeous you are in person. You're perfection. And the entire night I've been eyeing you. But a girl approaches me and she becomes a cover-up. She kept me company and her presence detracts suspicions" he smiles. "Unfortunately, I hadn't had the chance to talk to you after we were introduced.
"Where are you going?" still half asleep, she asks after realizing he was not beside her but making his way to the walk-in closet. They went home late from the bar the last night and it's just been a few hours since they slept. "I need to meet with someone" rushing back to the bed, he responded. "Who? At this early?" she squinted at the glass window and though it was covered with curtains, she was sure it was still dark outside. "Claire" he whispers, making her thoughtful."You want to come? But it's early, you still need to sleep more" he added while combing her hair."I will come with you" she mumbles before stretching her sleepy limbs, removing the blanket covering her nakedness. Despite seeing her naked state, he was unaffected. He has a lot on his mind."Okay. Let's get dressed" he picks her up from the bed and he carried her to the closet. After putting her down on the couch, he went to choose and help her wear her clothes. He then gets dressed after her and in no time the
"Dad, nice to see you again" Arah casually greeted her father, the infamous surgeon, Dr. Rene Rechner."Good to see you, Amara. You're looking great" the man seriously mutters while hugging her. Like her, the man has an impartial disposition.It's been a few days since the Petrov visit and now they are notified that Amara's father requested to meet with them. Though surprised by his interest, she has already expected he will inquire once the word of her being with Luther Steel will come out in public. And tonight, they are at the Steel mansion. Helen arranged a dinner to heed the request of Arah's father. After greeting him she turns to her stepmother who is quietly standing at the side."Hello, auntie Melly" she greeted the woman who tenderly smiles at her while receiving her hug. "Hello, Arah. You are looking great as always. How are you?" the woman softly asked. Though she has been with Rene for almost five years, she is still timid around his only daughter. "I'm fine, Auntie.
It happened too fast that it took some time for the two men to rush to her side while Helen and Eric were just about to stand from their seats. "Arah..." Luther mutters while rushing to her side. She remained still on her spot with a bowed head. And it's the state of her desolation that made Luther pause. Afraid to touch her. Tim saw it too that he choose not to get closer. "Arah..." carefully, she calls for her but she remains motionless. Her head dangled like a defeated warrior who lost her legion. Eric hugged Helen when he saw her teary eyes while watching the forlorn back of Arah. Never did they see her in such a desolate state and it stunned them. She was so composed and calm earlier. Unaffected by whatever was said, especially by her father. But looking at her, she just obviously kept her emotions guarded. She is dying inside and no one had a hint. Even her father.Kneeling in front of her, Luther reluctantly gathers her in his arms. And the moment he touched her he felt he
"When I'm dead. That's the only time I will leave you" grimly serious, Luther responded to Arah's doubt. His eyes reflect the detestation he feels about the issue while they stare at each other. Her, gauging him like she always does until a faint smile carves her lips. "I love you so much, Ther. I will be shattered if I will lose you. I destroyed all my walls against you and though I feel vulnerable, it feels right" she tearfully whispers. "Then rest your mind. Only death could make us apart. There's no way I will let you go nor leave you" with a stern tone, he grumbles. Without responding, she throws herself to him again. Longing for the warmth that always makes her feel safe."Thank you" she whispers while snuggling against his neck. "You're always welcome. And thank you too for trusting me" he tightly hugged her, burying and inhaling her sweet scent. He was relieved she is more relaxed now. "You hooked up on the night of our graduation?" Tim's curious voice interjected, maki
"Oh, hello pumpkin" surprised by what he found when he enters their bedroom, he halted at the door. Arah was on the bed, wearing a lace black night dress that emphasized her perfectly alluring figure rather than covering them. As usual, she wears nothing beneath. "Hello, my love" her dreamy lewd smile adorned her face before bringing the half-filled wine glass to her lips. She is tipsy."You have a great day, my love?" although still perplexed, he enjoys the view as he steps closer to the bed. Arah is undeniably a beauty goddess and his body sprang to life merely by just watching her. Contrary to her mood earlier, she is now the epitome of seduction sprawled on their bed. Ready to be ravaged. Whatever happens to her day could be great for her to offer him such a scrumptious surprise. "Not quite. So I need diversion" she smiles, tilting the glass towards him."Perfect, I can give you any diversion you fancy" he smirks while slowly stripping his clothes on the way to the bed. "I'
