39 NIGHT DRIVE
LUKE’S POV
Still glaring at Harriet, I pushed her away. I was about able to get my pants back on. And the anger in me was just too much. This lady was unbelievable, she was indeed a whore. No doubt about that now.
I marched to Harriet, seized her hands, and dragged her out of the room. That was how I forcefully tugged her downstairs, and when we were in the living room, I tossed her to the floor.
She got to her feet, while I just gave her a dark look. I couldn’t even see the beauty in her anymore. The feelings right now was simply nothing
but hate.
“Get out!” I barked at Harriet. She gave me the same expression in return. But she eventually left the house.
After that, I yelled for all the maids to come downstairs. Hearing my infuriated screams, they all showed up at once.
I glared at each and every one of them. “Now, you all tell me! Who let Harriet in the house?”
They all looked generated that confused face.
They
“Are you guys deaf or what?” I barked again. “Which one of you let Harriet in?”
They were all silent, fear evident in their faces. I too was exhausted with the whole thing, but these people didn’t actually like their jobs. Cause I could just fire them all at once, and get perfect replacements.
“So, none of you want to answer, right? Okay, that’s it! Start packing your stuff, all of you! You all are fired!”
“Don’t do that Luke,” I heard Riley’s voice, and I turned around to look at her. “I was the one who let Harriet in,” she said.
ARIEL’S POV
Mason and I went to an abandoned area, I’d say. Somewhere around the woods. I could hear the sounds of different creatures, and it was kind of creepy, scaring my butts off. But I needed to keep myself together. I didn’t even have an idea where we were, but I just kept silent, hoping for no terrific event.
Mason drove deep inside the forest, increasing my fear, but what could I do? I was not going to jump out of the car. Neither was I going to scream for someone to help me. Worse part of the whole situation; this place had poor signal.
Mason finally stopped his car, and I didn’t even know if we had arrived to our destination. It was a thirty minute drive, and I got to say, it really had me exhausted. Plus, my butt hurt. His car seat wasn’t even that comfortable. It had issues just like its crazy owner.
I could see a fire, burning intensely in front of us. The fire expanded every single minute, and the sound it produced, was really thunderous, enough to scare lions around here. Okay, I better zip it for now.
Mason burst out of his car, while I was still sitting down, observing the fire as it grew more and more.
“You can come out now,” Mason told me.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” I let him know, and then the fire made a clamorous sound that caused me to scream.
This one was way different from the other sounds, and right now, I was filled with nothing but fear. Wait, I was filled with hate as well. Because I was with a good–for–nothing scumbag.
Mason laughed at me, all because I had hollered. But he could crack up all he wanted. My life was really precious to me.
“I didn’t know you were this scared,” he continued to roll in the aisles, holding the car. And this annoyed me greatly. I could just burst out of this wrecked vehicle, and push him right into that fire. It was still far from us, damn it.
I blew the car horn, and he had to cease his laughter right away.
“Get out of the car, alright?” He said to me.
I looked at him for seconds, before blowing the car horn again. And then he marched to my direction, opened the door, and dragged me out of the car. It was a perfect opportunity to kneel his testicles, but I wasn’t that heartless.
“Okay, I’m out of the car, now can you tell me what the hell we are doing here? Cause right now, we got a humongous fire in front of us, which

can roast our asses any time.” I vocalized in a blaring mode.
“Calm down, will you? That fire won’t do anything. This isn’t the first time I’ve been to this place.”
“Oh, I see. I totally get it now,” I spoke. “You’re the devil, and of course, this is your lair.”
Mason gave me a weird look. “Stop trying to be funny. You’re terrible at it.”
“And who the hell said I’m trying to be funny?”
He let out a deep sigh. “Oh gosh, you’re going to give me a headache.”
“I be glad to. And if it can end your life, I’ll have to stick around with you all day, so the headache gets to a whole new level.”
Mason chuckled. “I see, this is how much you hate me, huh?”
“You haven’t even seen anything yet,” I responded, my voice was almost inaudible.
“Well, Mrs. Reynold.”
“Don’t call me that,” I cut him off.
Don’t tell me what to do,” Mason retorted. “As I was saying, Mrs. Rey
“Oh, no wonder,” 1 stated immediately.
“No wonder what?” He gave me a curious look.
Reynold, I don’t want you to like me. You think I give a damn about friends?”
“You’re so heartless. But I don’t think that’s going to stop someone from having friends. You’re the one who decided to stick your lonely ass in the
shadows.”
“You are some rude bitch!” Mason snapped.
“Hey, watch your mouth, okay?” I told him. “You got to be respectful”
“I’d rather die than give respect to a nitwit like you.” He spat.
“Okay then, the fire’s right there.” I gestured toward the fire.
“Say what now?”
“You said you’d rather die, right? I’m just helping you fulfill your wish. The fire is right there. You can just go jump in it. Don’t worry, I won’t stop you.”
Mason did nothing but glare at me. “Just shut up and follow me.”
He started walking, and although I hesitated, I treaded on his heels anyway.
LUKE’S POV
“Why would you do that, Riley?” I aksed Riley in a calm tone, as I walked to her.
“Well, I didn’t want to. But you should have seen the look on her face. She wanted to sort things out with you. And I didn’t even want to let her in. But she pleaded, and pleaded, and pleaded. And she looked she was going to die if didn’t let her in.”
“And you fell for that?” I softly slapped my face. “Come on, Riley. That’s just how she is. She’s nothing but a liar, a player, a drama queen.”
“Yeah, I know. And I’m really sorry. I had no idea she wanted to, you know,” Riley winked at me headlong, and I understood perfectly. “Wait, how did you know that?” I furrowed my brows.
“I heard you guys conversation from outside the room,” she answered.
“Hold on, you were eavesdropping on us?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Well, I was just passing by. But if you want to put it that way.” Riley shrugged.
My grandfather’s driver ran into the house immediately. “Sir, I have terrible news.”
