Chapter 48 In His Arms

Chapter 48 In His Arms
I look back to see it’s Lucas and this is the first time seeing him actually makes me happy.

He steps towards me and blocks that swine’s path. 

He hugs me to comfort me and he turns back.

“ What do you think you were doing? “ He asks, extremely bothered.

“ I..I was...I thought she wasn’t related to you in any way. “ He stutters.

“ Even if she wasn’t, a no means no. Get that? “ Lucas asks, grabbing his collar in a threatening manner. Not posing any physical damage yet.

“ She didn’t say no. She just scurried away. “ The man exclaims.

“ Oh, and you are too dumb to comprehend what that meant. Don’t fucking test me you dick. Now pass me the fucking phone. “ Lucas grits out.

The man passes my phone to Lucas with shaky hands, and Lucas hands it over to me.

“ Make sure you sanitize it. “ He states, eyeing the man with disgust laced in his voice.

He grabs me and leads me away from him. We walk two steps away before Lucas stops. I can feel his whole body shaking in anger. It’s like he is controlling his outrage with much effort.

But alas! He failed.

He sharply turns backhand punches the man right on his face swiftly. It happens so suddenly that I am not able to comprehend it.

When I look back, all I see is the man knocked out I the cold concrete.

“ Is he dead? “ I ask scared.

“ No, I wish though. The motherfucker is only knocked out cold. Let’s go. “ He states.

He again grabs me and leads me to his car. We both settle in.

“ You shouldn’t have gone there. I warned you, Emma. “ He scolds, still angry.

“ Did I have any other option, Lucas?  “ I ask, with tearful eyes.

“ I was suddenly thrown into a world I knew nothing of. Everyone is after one another, after money and the new information I learned is if you’re a woman the only way you can climb up the ladder is by sleeping with random men. “ I state, weeping.

“ It’s not like that Em. I’m sorry you had to see the wrong side of this but not everyone is like that fucker.“ He says trying to calm me down.

“ It…This must…make you very happy. You wanted to see…me suffer didn’t you Lucas? “ I ask.

He shakes his head in negative.

“ I didn’t want this to happen I you Emma. I love you. “ He repeats those awful words again.

“ You don’t hurt the ones you love Lucas. You put me through this hell. You made me go through it and you knew exactly what you were doing this is all your fault. “ I exclaim.

“ I am sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen. It’s not like I wanted this to happen to you. I wanted to punish you for trying to abort my baby. But I’m a possessive man Emma, I wouldn’t want any other man to look at you. This isn’t the end of it, just wait and watch. I will make him suffer. “ Lucas promises me with determination in his eyes. I do not doubt that he will do exactly that.

“ I just want you to leave me alone Lucas. “ I mutter, defeated. I’m tired of this.

“ That’s not happening and you know that. You’re mine. “ He says, still adamant.

“ No, I’m not. “ I scream in frustration, I open the door to get out when suddenly my vision gets blurry.

Lucas gets out behind me, but I am able to handle myself.

I take a step away from the car when the world turns black for me and I go unconscious. 

Before I completely blackout, the last thing I see is falling back into Lucas’s arms.
