Chapter 136

136 An All-Time Crush

Earlier, when Luke Robinson left his company, his plans were very simple and straightforward. First, he would grab a nice meal from The Grill restaurant which was highly recommended for its spicy and mouth-watering cuisines. Afterward, he would visit a prominent clubhouse for some drinks and fun, before retiring to his new home.

However, one thing he never factored into his plans was bumping into his all-time crush. Even when he thought that he had overcome the spell her beauty had cast on him, he now realized that there was no freedom from her charm.

When he saw her back at the restaurant, he felt his spirit man leap out of his body to go hug her. He couldn’t believe his stroke of luck. Seeing her twice in one day was the best gift he could ever wish for. Also when he walked over to her table intending to say hi, he never expected that she was heavily guarded.

“Well, which man in his right senses wouldn’t want to guard such a rear jewel,” he thought. “If Ariella was mine, I would never let her leave my side for a second.”

Then when she turned and stared at him with her magical eyes, he felt his body, soul, and spirit leap into those bottomless Jade green eyes. She had just succeeded in caging his spirit and now he wanted her as he had never wanted a girl in his life.

What irked Luke the most about her hypnotic charm was the fact that she was out of his reach. No matter how much he fantasizes about her, he could never get her because she was married to an enemy of the family.

“Why is this lady’s beauty tormenting me? Why do I find her so irresistible? How am I ever going to satisfy my lust for her? What would it feel like to hold her, kiss her and make sweet love to her? This is the same Ariella that destroyed Chloe. Am I towing the same path by lusting over her?” Luke’s head throbbed as thousands of questions clamored for attention.

He strolled towards his car, lost in his thoughts. His head was light and his glimmering eyes had a deep longing in them. He felt a new burden in his erratically thumping heart and it ached due to his rekindled crush and lust for Ariella. He got into the car, started the engine, and drove down to another restaurant to have his dinner.

On his way, he decided to get a takeaway from a roadside food truck as he seemed to have lost his appetite. Afterward, he drove down to a popular bar and clubhouse; where he ordered some drinks and tried to drown his lust.

.....

Luke was in his third glass of whiskey when a blonde hair beauty walked up to his table and started flirting with him.

“You look so beautiful,” Luke smiled at her. ” Can I call you Ariel for tonight?”

“Sure, I can be anything you want me to, Ariel, Angel, peaches, cherry blossom...”

“Just Ariel will do,” Luke snapped at her.

“Okay, my name is Ariel, and it’s my pleasure to meet you.” The blonde beauty said in a captivating tone.

“Oh, the things I want to do with you, Ariel!” Luke’s eyes glinted with intense lust. He stared at the blonde girl and imagined that she was Ariella. This excited him so. much as he conversed with her at length and finally took her to a nearby classy hotel for the night.

However, after having five rounds of wild sex with his blonde date, Luke got irritated by her. Although her tender and delicious body got Luke all fired up, her blonde hair kept getting in the way. Every time his lustfully blinded eyes caught sight of her blonde hair, he was reminded that this wasn’t Ariella.

“I think you should go!” Luke lay back on the bed, panting from all the wild sex. “I already have something for you by the dresser, take it and leave.”

The blonde beauty gawked at him in disbelief. She was also exhausted from all the crazy and wild sex they just had. Only a warm shower and a nice rest will help her regain her strength.

“Did I do something wrong? I thought we were getting along just fine. I’m your Ariel and you are my knight in shining armor.” She tried to pacify Luke.

“Yes, you’re not what I want!” Luke’s deep and irked tone conveyed his displeasure at being interrogated. “Quickly get dressed and leave before I do horrible things to you.”

The blonde girl quickly concluded that her date was a demented gorgeous man. So she swiftly scrambled to her feet, wore her clothes, picked a cheque for a substantial amount from the dresser, and ran out of the room.

Alone and consumed by his thoughts, Luke took more glasses of dry gin to drown his lust before sleeping off.

Back at the Villa, Ella lay on her bed feeling drained and exhausted. She had just finished speaking to Leon and it hurts her so much that she couldn’t share her happiness with him.

Leon was currently her confidant and best friend. So, keeping things away from him was like asking the sun to stop shining or the rain to stop falling. She wished that there was a better way to convince Leon to change his mind about having a child.

“Probably, I would involve Nana Esther when I’m ready to open up to Leon. She would know the best way to relay this news to him,” Ella concluded in her thoughts and felt peaceful once more.

She tried to sleep but something kept poking her mind. She turned from side to side until it finally hit her.

“The beautiful stranger!” Ella said out loud. “Who could that be? Why was he coming over to my table? Why did he smile at me in that way?”

Denise had jokingly teased Ella that the handsome man seem to have a crush on her due to the glint in his eyes.

“Could that be true? Should I inform Leon about this?” Ella couldn’t control her spiraling thoughts.
