73: CRAZY CONFLICTS


    ARIEL’S POV


    Giaring at the both of us, Luke stormed in our direction, his fists clenched tightly and his face red with


    anger. But I still needed to know where he came from. Because it was like he just appeared right here.


    “Take it easy, man; it’s not what you think,” Daniel tried exining as Luke got closer. The next thing he


    received was a punch in the face. It caused Daniel to shift backwards.


    “How dare you try to get your dirty self on my wife?!” Luke seized Daniel’s shirt and gave him another


    punch.


    “Luke! What the hell is wrong with you?!” I shrieked. I moved nearer, trying to break Luke’s grip on


    Daniel.


    He pushed me away, blinded by his jealousy or whatever was going on in his head. I almost fell down,


    but I kept my bnce.


    Luke wanted to deliver another punch, but Daniel was quick to seize his hand. Daniel struck Luke on


    the face vigorously.


    Daniel hooked Luke and threw him to the ground. I could hear the sound of Lukending, and I have to


    say,


    it was really painful.


    Luke was about to get to his feet, but Daniel punched him hard in the face. However, Luke struck back


    at Daniel and gave him back-to-back punches.


    Their brawl went on for minutes, with blood covering both of their faces. I tried yelling some senses into


    their heads, but their anger had blinded their eyes and clogged their ears.


    I spotted some cops passing by, and I had to run in their direction.


    “I need your help, please,” I told them.


    “What’s going on down there?” One of the cops asked, watching Daniel and Luke brawl with


    themselves.


    “Yeah, I need help with that.” I gestured toward them.


    The cops swiftly advanced toward the two infuriated men, and they had to separate the both

    of them.


    “Will the two stop it?!” One of the policemen barked, getting in between Daniel and Luke. Why do you


    guys have to behave like children?”


    “He started this shit!” Daniel snapped, trying to catch his breath. His face was covered in blood, and so


    was Luke.


    “He was trying to take advantage of my wife!” Luke snarled.


    “That’s a lie!” Daniel shrieked in return.


    “Okay, that’s enough!” The cop silenced them. “I don’t want to see this nonsense anymore. If this


    repeats itself next time, I’ll have no option but to make sure the two of you spend the night in jail. Is that


    understood?”


    “Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?” Luke asked the cop in a proud tone.


    “Luke Reynold,” the cop answered, crossing his arms. “Yeah, I’ve heard about you. You think you’re


    some sort of big shot?”


    Luke red at him. “You do not want to be messing with me.’


    “Are you threatening me?” The cop asked slowly.


    “Let’s just say this is a warning.” Luke’s repounded.


    The cop chuckled. “I’m sorry, sir. But you’re not above thew. And if I were you, I’d go get my


    face cleaned up.”


    The policemen all walked away after that. Luke and Daniel exchanged dark looks promptly. Daniel


    stormed off after that.


    Luke turned to me. “I hope you’re happy now.”


    “You hope I’m happy? Luke, you were the one who went ahead to do some crazy shit. You didn’t even


    bother to know what happened. You just came and strated acting like the mighty Hulk Hogan.”


    “What is there to know about? It’s clear you’re cheating on me with that man.”


    “You know what, Luke? I don’t have time for this nonsense. Think all you want.”


    The moment I began treading away, he nailed my hand.


    “Where do you think you’re going?”


    “I’m leaving, okay?! When you’re back to your senses, let me know.”


    He pulled me to him, and when I got closer, I pushed him backwards. He dragged me with him. as he


    fell down, and the both of usnded on the ground.


    I looked into his eyes, but I quickly broke the I was about to get up, but he dragged me to him once


    again.


    “I don’t really understand you, Mr. A minute ago, you were all steamed up. Now look at you; you’re


    trying to act so romantic.”


    “Don’t you like this romantic side of me?” He smirked. Was this how he always changed his moods so


    fast?


    “I don’t,” I told Luke, making a hard face.


    “You don’t?” He kept on with his smirk, wrapping his hands around my waist.


    “I don’t, now let go of me,” I demanded, but his grip became tighter. I could feel his fingers moving


    around my waist, and a passionate gaze took ce at the moment.


    “Hey, can the two of you get your butts off the ground?!” An olddy yelled at the both of us. Her voice


    was as tiny as hell.


    Iughed before getting up. Luke rose to his feet as well.


    “What were the two of you trying to do, huh? This is public. Don’t you know people can see you?”


    “We’re sorry,” I told the olddy.


    “Don’t tell me sorry,” she said in an unfriendly tone, and she walked away, saying only God knows


    what. But her tiny voice caused me tough.


    “You really need to get your face cleaned up,” I told Luke.


    He walked away from me without saying anything in return.


    “Hey,” I uttered, moving behind him. “Wait for me!”


    LUKE’S POV


    The day had gotten dark, and I was at a strip club, waiting patiently for someone. And you could just


    guess who that was, It was that guy who kept on calling me, talking about some information.


    I wanted to meet him face-to-face, so he gave me this location. And here I was, biding patiently, sitting


    for minutes. I didn’t understand why he had to choose this location. Of all the ces in the world.


    He said he would let me know when he arrived. So I was waiting for his call and looking at the entrance


    of the club. The thumping bass reverberated through the air, blending with the raucousughter and


    hushed conversations.


    I took my eyes to the entrance once again, and then two scantily d strippers approached my table,


    swaying their hips seductively. Their eyes sparkled with mischief, and their lips curled into inviting


    smiles. They were here to entice, to captivate, and to ensure that my money found its way into their


    pockets. But hell no.


    I politely declined their advances, but one of them leaned in, her perfume filling my senses. Come on,


    handsome,” she purred. “Let me show you a good time.”


    My lips curled into a polite smile, and my voice was firm but gentle. “Thank you, but I’m waiting for


    someone.”


    “There’s no need to be so shy. We’re going to make sure you get the night of a lifetime,” the other


    smirked, walking up to me.


    She had that seductive smile and wanted to trail her fingers on my chest, but I seized her hand.


    “Don’t,” I red at her and let go of her hand forcefully. They both gave me an angry look before


    walking away.


    I was d those devils were gone.


    My phone began to ring, and I answered it immediately.


    “I’ve arrived. You cane meet me outside,” the caller said.
