The next day.It was morning already, Luke woke up and found himself sleeping on the couch.he wondered how he ended up there.He tried hard to remember what had happened,he remembered being drunk and how he came back to the house when he thought Mariana was in danger but he found her to be alright.What happened next?he thought.He strode into his bedroom and the scent of his mate wafted his nostrils,he inhaled and exhaled smiling to himself but the question should be,why is her scent filled in his bathroom.Then everything that happened the other night came into his head and he also remembered the most important part,he marked her,he smiled to himself.he thanked himself for being drunk but as if realization hit him,he thought about Mariana's feelings. where is Mariana?he thought."who knows how she would feel about the whole thing?"I shouldn't have marked her"he blamed himself for everything.He checked the time and saw that it was already late in the morning.he left his room and went t

"Why are you so surprised to see me?what's with the shouting?"Luke asked her."How can you ask me such a question?where are your manners?what are you doing here?she asked him but Luke didn't answer any of her question."are you here to rape me again"the questioned slipped out of her tongue.Luke's expression turned sour after he heard what she said.Mariana bit her lips,she didn't know when she said that,the question made the atmosphere to be tense,it made them to remember what happened between them.She stood there, her head bent low,her gaze was fixed on the ground,she was using her toe to draw an imaginary thing on the tiled floor.Luke cleared his throat after looking at her for a while and thinking that she might catch a cold if she stays in the bathroom for long without drying her body well."I will see you in the dining room,I have something important to discuss with you,you should dress up fast"he said leaving the bathroom with Mariana walking behind him.Mariana heaved a sigh o

Mariana went to her room after exchanging words with Luke,she was really tired of everything happening in her life.the only thing she sought was peace of mind.MARIANA'S POV.I was really angry with myself for saying that he was sent to make my life miserable,I hate saying hurtful words to him.i don't know how to tell him that am in love with him but I don't think it's necessary.i don't want to hurt Alex,it's better for me to keep my feelings to myself.i know that he loves me but nothing can happen between us,I can't hurt Alex.Speaking of Alex,it's been a long time since I talked to him and he is not even bothering to check up on me,guess he is still angry with me about the kissing incident of Mr Luke and I.I have a lot of explaining to do when I get back home,I hope he believes me.Mariana picked her phone up and dialed Alex's number but he didn't pick up.she tried again but he didn't pick up.on her third trial,the phone was switched off.sye was so troubled,she didn't know what her

"I am okay, could you please leave me alone"I said, swatting his hands away,I could see his eyes turn dark.I was scared of what he might do to me but I did well to mask my Expression.i ignored him and tried to walk away."Mariana"I held him and called my name,I stopped on my track and faced him."What is it?"I asked."You should go and prepare for the event we are attending tonight,it's almost time we left,I have told the designers to prepare some clothes for you,you will choose which one you prefer,I don't want to wait for you when I want to go"Luke said to Mariana.All this while he had been speaking,I didn't know what he was saying,all I could see was the movement of his mouth.I could hear a buzzing sound in my ears,I felt like everything around me was spinning."Mariana!!!"my name was the last thing I heard before there was black out.LUKE'S POV.I noticed immediately that something was off with Mariana Because I could feel that she wasn't listening to what I was saying.My eye

Luke went to her room but he didn't see her but he could perceive her scent in the room.He traced her with her scent and he found her in the balcony watering the flowers.Her hair was blowing in the wind and she was trying to use her hand to put her hair in place while watering the flowers."I see you love flowers"Luke said to her, hearing his voice, Mariana stopped what she was doing and faced Luke."Who doesn't love flowers, what are you doing here?"she asked him."Why didn't you eat your food?"he asked her."It's none of your business whether I eat or not, just leave me alone"she replied."You are sick and you need food in order to recover"he said to her."Don't act like you care about me because you don't,"Mariana said to her."What has come over you, sometimes I don't understand you"Luke said to her."I thought you have a party to attend, don't you think you are late for the party"Mariana said to him.Luke sighed."I don't know what do with you anymore,you are so stubborn, just r
