DANGEROUS LOVER 2

"What are you still doing here? Didn’t I ask you to leave?" Lucas said in a rude tone.

"S-Sorry, I will take my leave," Peter replied and got up from the chair, attempting to go.

"Stop Peter, don’t go anywhere. I am the owner of this house and I have the right to say who has to stay or who will leave." Amber said and pulled her hand from Lucas's grip. He stared at her, confused, and put his hand in his pocket.

Amber moved closer to him with her head held high and waved at Peter so he could go call the cops. Her heart was beating rapidly, and she had a strange feeling that Lucas had something up his sleeve. Peter ran out of the house with great speed.

"I don’t know what you are trying to prove here, but I don’t care about that. I want you. Now that your fiancé is dead, you should give me a chance. It’s not every day a man will come begging for your hand in marriage," he said with a smile.

"Take off your wedding ring you don’t need it anyway, when I get paid, I will be sure to get you the most expensive wedding ring on the market mark my words." he said with a grin. She shook her head.

"No, Lucas, you won’t have time for that because you will be rotting in jail." She said, with her head held high. Footsteps came from outside, and the door swung open.

"Freeze!!" the cops standing at the door said, pointing their guns at them. Lucas acted fast. He took out a dagger from his pocket and put it around Amber’s neck, pinning her to him.

"Stand back, she is mine. Don’t come any closer." He threatened glaring at the cops. Amber was terrified. She was staring at the cops with her mouth open in fear. The dagger was too sharp and it was slowly getting into her brown skin.

"L-Lucas, stop this madness. You are hurting me." She said, through gritted teeth, she couldn’t move, because she would make things worse.

"Stand back, young man. You are already surrounded. Stop acting stubborn or this will cost you your life." One of the cops threatened. Lucas smiled.

"Do you think I am afraid of death? If you try to provoke me, I will leave this earth with this woman by my side." He said in a deep tone, and Amber gulped.

Xavier also ran to the scene as if he knew what was happening. He thought Lucas had already been caught, but he was wrong.

"Amber, are you okay?" Xavier yelled. 

"Hahaha." Lucas burst into laughter. "I didn’t know you were so smart, so I have been fooled by you. Thank goodness your fiancé is here to watch the show." He said with an evil grin.

"What are you guys doing? Shoot him and free my fiancée." Xavier said to the cops.

"We can’t shoot him; he will kill your fiancée." The leader of the cops replied, he was trying to aim for Lucas, but it was useless because Amber was in front of him. Xavier’s blood was boiling. He started walking toward Amber and Lucas.

"Stay back or I will cut off her throat. Don’t try me." Lucas said in a rumbling tone.

"Xavier, please stand back." Amber whimpered, as a little blood started rolling down her neck.

"I want you all to put down your guns!!" Lucas yelled, Xavier turned back to look at the cops. They all slowly placed their guns on the floor and put their hands up, staring at Lucas, who started dragging Amber out of the house with him.

"Don’t try to act smart." Lucas said, Peter looked at him from behind as the cops made way for them to pass. Amber was growling in pain as he was leading her out of the house. Peter rolled on the floor and picked up one of the guns and pointed it at Lucas's head from behind.

"Let go of her!" he said. Lucas halted and put his hand in the air and the dagger fell from his hand. Xavier quickly dragged Amber away. She was clutching her neck in pain as he held her in his arms.

Lucas attempted to run away when the cops blocked his path, preventing him from escaping, and bent his hand behind his back and put a handcuff around his hand. Lucas’s face twisted as he fell to the ground on his knees.

"Take him out. I never want to see his face again." Amber said, as Xavier started hauling her away. Peter handed the gun back to the leader of the police, who took it from him and tapped him firmly on the shoulder.

"You did well, you are brave," he commented, and Peter bowed with respect as the cops dragged Lucas out of the house.

"Amber! Amber! Amber! I know you can hear me. You can’t do this to me! I will be back! If I can’t have you no one can, no one!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. 

Xavier sat Amber down on the couch and started using a cotton ball to clean her bruised neck. She gritted her teeth in pain as he blew breeze on her neck with his mouth.

"Does it hurt? Don’t worry, I will be more gentle," he said as she closed her eyes.

"I told you it was dangerous. You shouldn’t have planned all this. You put your life on the line to get him arrested. I am happy you are alright. I didn’t know what I would have done." He said and grasped her hand and placed a soft kiss on it. 

Peter waved at a maid, who walked into the kitchen. A group of chefs, followed by a maid, walked out of the kitchen, pushing a food cart toward the huge dining table and started arranging the food there. 

Amber opened her eyes, sniffing the air, as the beautiful scent of her favourite dish entered her nostrils. Her face turned to the direction of the dining table, as the chefs folded the napkins on the table. There were a lot of cuisines on the table; it almost looked like a feast.
