Chapter 3 Confusion
Aria
I got lost for a moment, in his golden eyes. Everything about him seemed to be messing with my head, his eyes, and the arms wrapped around my small body.
Electric waves always take over my body whenever our skin touches, making me jump at intervals.
It felt so weird.
I know that Lucian was every woman's dream, I mean literally, and excluding that aura dripping from him. He's always acting like a monster on a rampage.
But aside from that, he had a face that people could easily describe as being handsome, with a pointed nose and strong jawline.
The dark short stubble along his jaw gave him a rough, untamed look. It made him less perfect, yet so irresistible. And that rivaled the news online that he was twenty-eight, he looked no older than twenty-two.
Aside from that, he looked strong and well, over 6ft. I'm sure there are abs underneath those black shirts he's wearing.
His black, cropped hair seemed to be calling to me again, and I reached out to it as if in a trance.
“Aria! You have to listen to me!” Philip said suddenly, jerking me out of my reverie and I pulled back immediately.
“I don't,” I shook my head and tried to focus on something aside from looking at Lucian and Philip.
“Please, I can explain,” Philip beseeched.
“Explain what exactly? That it was a mistake you were fucking her?” My voice trembled as I spoke and I could feel more tears in the corner of my eyes. “I_” I stopped and wondered if I should say it. “Tonight was our night.”
I felt Lucian’s eyes on me immediately.
“But you ruined it!” I yelled at him and finally looked up at Lucian again.
There was a flicker of something in his eyes, jealousy or was it anger?
“Take me away, please,” I beseeched softly and snuggled even closer to his chest so I won't have to see Philip anymore.
Though, I regretted it almost immediately. Heat took over my body and made me feel uneasy. But this was better than looking at Philip, someone I call my boyfriend.
“Baby, please don't_”
“Back off!” Lucian snapped in one of those scary voices. I jumped at it but his arm was suddenly behind me, patting me slightly and finally making me relax.
But I couldn't stop the tears from spilling. I love Philip so much. After my best friend, Susan, he was the next person I trusted.
I can't believe he could betray me like this. And it hurts so much. To even think I was already planning our night together. He was going to be my first.
“Aria?” A soft voice pulled me out of the void I was suspended in.
I looked up at Lucian looking back at me. His gaze was soft on me. “We need to leave now,” he muttered and settled me in the back seat.
I looked up, slightly stunned at the interior of the car. I have no idea what this car is but I needed no one to tell me it was luxury. Well, the Alpha wasn't just popular, he was a billionaire with a company that ranked top 2 last year.
“Why do I need to go?” I asked suddenly, just as Lucian entered the car beside me.
He didn't respond; instead, he looked ahead. “Move!” He ordered.
The car started instantly and my heart skipped several beats. I don't believe this is happening to me. It's from one problem to another.
“Please, if you can let me go, I will definitely pay you back. Please, don't take me away,” I cried.
I've never felt so scared in my entire life. Where did I know Lucian was taking me to? Rumours have it that he was not only wicked but also reckless.
Was he going to sell me off as a slave overseas? Or sex slave?
“Please, I'm still a virgin,” I said but regretted it instantly.
He turned to me at this, a silly smirk on his face. “Oh, sweet Aria, isn't that the reason why you are coming with me?”
What! I was right. He was going to make me a sex slave! He was going to sell me off.
I turned towards the window and started to bang.
“Help me! Help me please!” I banged even harder, while my tears poured even harder.
“Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you,” Lucian said behind me.
I ignored him and continued to bang even harder this time that I feared the window might actually break.
“Aria!” he yelled and my hands went into a sudden stop.
My brain literally froze. What did he just do?
“Look at me,” he was saying.
I turned to him slowly but my heart was still beating so fast. The fear of what he could do to me gripped me harder.
“I'm not going to hurt you,” he said softly, different from the voice I was used to. “Trust me,” he added.
But I couldn't make myself believe him. Who would believe the ruthless Alpha? Trusting Lucian is like putting a loaded gun to the head.
Do I really want to risk that? But then do I have a choice?
