CHAPTER 40: HARBINGER

Song for this Chapter: "UNHOLY WAR" by Jacob Banks

*ARSIA'S POV*

I felt my heart pounding as I waited to hear Luca's voice, while Kique's eyes kept on piercing right into my soul.

"Mi Amore," Luca spoke through the phone.

Hearing his voice made all my nerves ease up a little bit, I couldn't help but feel some butterflies in my stomach.

"Mi Amore? Are you okay?" He asked.

Kique immediately pointed at his watch and motioned his hand in an irritated way telling me to go on with my words.

"I think so, Kique is here with me..." I slowly uttered to Luca through the phone.

"What! Are you alone? Did he hurt you? I swear to Dio (God) if he even dares to touch a hair on your body I'm going to fucking kill him! Angel, please talk to me-" Luca spoke with panic and anger in his voice.

"Y-yes baby I'm alone... but I'm not hurt," I stuttered.

"I'm coming right now!" Luca growled and I could hear him hastily shuffling around a room through the phone.

Kique rolled his eyes in a bored way then pulled his chair closer to me and motioned for my phone in an aggressive manner.

"He wants to talk to you...," I said to Luca as I could feel my skin crawling from Kique being that close to me.

I slowly passed the phone to Kique and he snatched it out of my hand, then gave me a sarcastic smile and put the phone to his ear.

"Now that I have your all-so-mighty attention, let's get down to business, Mariano!" Kique sneered at Luca through the phone and then smirked at me right after

I heard Luca growl something to Kique through the phone but could not hear his words clearly.

Kique rolled his eyes in response to whatever Luca said, then he came closer to me and twirled a strand of my hair while giving me a sadistic glare.

"You think so less of me, Mariano. You know if I wanted to hurt her right now, I could. But I'm a gentleman now... But then again, something so precious to you is definitely... definitely so valuable to me," Kique said to Luca, and as he slowly said the last sentence he gave me an evil smirk.

As I waited for Luca's response, I felt my anxiety skyrocket, but I wasn't sure if it was the fear of being alone with Kique or because I was irritated and uncomfortable. 

A few seconds later Kique stood up and walked behind me, then he stroked on the back of my chair with his index finger like a psychopath.

"Threats, threats, threats! You couldn't do anything when I took your last piece of meat, so what makes you think that you can protect this one from me?" Kique uttered to Luca, then I heard Luca's angry growl through the phone.

He tsked and cut him cut off- "Luca, I'm a lion, and a hungry lion always gets the meat. So since I clearly have the upper hand here, I'll give you some time to get down here so we can talk like gentlemen... before I get hungry!" Kique said to Luca and then growled his last sentence by my ear from behind me.

My body trembled in fear from his growl but I tried as hard as I could to not show my distress because I didn't want him to think, or rather know that he had an effect on me.
