"Luke? It's you...wow, you are here?" Erin murmured happily as she ran her hand through her hair, her eyes searching for Nathan, who she spotted from a distance, staring at her attentively.
"Of course, I'm familiar with your mother..." Luke responded to her with a wink.
"What?" she asked, her brow furrowed because she hadn't heard his response.
Luke repeated, "I know your mother..."
"Oh really…"
She clasped Luke's arms to hers to avoid Nathan's scrutinizing gaze; Luke was thrilled when she did so, but he still seemed confused about what Erin was doing. Then he saw Nathan, who looked at them in wrath. He understands now.
"That's fantastic; have you eaten yet?"
"Oh, that's really thoughtful of you; thank you for asking; I'm full."
"Would you like to join me on a ride?"
"Well..." she began, turning her glance to Nathan, who was staring at her intently with her brow pinched, before smiling at Luke. "Yes...where's your car?"
"Wow! Fantastic...come with me."
She said a polite goodbye to her mother before leaving her mother's mansion. When she was outside the house and saw Luke patiently waiting for her, she was struck by his charisma; he may have appeared to be a bad boy with his beard, but he was soft on the inside, that's what Erin knew. "So, where are we going?" she asked him with a warm smile on her lips.
"I don't know just somewhere… let's go."
They were going to drive away when they were halted by a strong and loud voice.
"Erin, I will not allow you to go with him!"
Erin gaped and rushed out of the car to confront Nathan, who was staring at Luke with enraged eyes. "Can you hear that yourself, Nathan?" Erin raised her voice in disbelief.
Nathan exclaimed loudly, "Don't go with him!"
"And why not?" Luke remarked, calmly.
"You know why..." Nathan said, instinctively grasping Erin's hand,
Nathan's bodyguards pointed a gun at Luke right away so he wouldn't hesitate to fight them, and Luke's men did the same and Everything went so intense.
"Let me go!" Nathan was yelled at by Erin. "Why are you causing such a fuss!"
"Wife, I'm not letting you go with that jerk. Now get in the car!" Nathan replied to her with an angry tone, and he shut the car door with a loud bang, startling Erin.
Nathan looked to Luke, who quietly exited his vehicle and gave him a cold stare. "Why are you so conceited? You have no right to control her life just because she becomes your wife on just a piece of paper! Come on, Nathan, She isn't yours at all!"
"Yes, you are right. I don't have any right to her life! But I'm only trying to keep her safe from you! You have no chance with her as long as I'm alive, and you won't get a single touch." Nathan said and smiled at him bitterly.
Luke smoldered with rage, his jaw clenched and his fingers clenched into a fist. "Nathan, you're going to regret this for the rest of your life; she's not just yours to screw with…"
Nathan knows Luke is up to something he won't like because he'll be ready for whatever this psychopath is up to. Erin's life will not be ruined by this man.
"Get well soon, Luke. I think you should go and get some help…" Nathan calmly said and turned his back on him.
"You are just like me!" Luke shouted. "We are the same...you are just like me!" he said and cocked his head turning to his car and laughed bitterly then sped his car right away.
Nathan stares at his reflection in the mirror and realizes that all he needs to do now is control his fury and get into his car and drive Erin home.
"Erin, I'll drive you home now..." he says once he's in the car and in the driver's seat.
"Don't talk to me, Nathan...I'm mad with you! I'm not interested in speaking with you any longer...you're making me mad! Stop being so arrogant; I'm filing for divorce before the end of the month!" she said as she let out a harsh breath.
"You won't be able to do that...I won't allow it." Nathan said and shook his head and breath then he continue what he was saying "Never ever… you will always be Mrs. Velasco's wife. Remember that."
"You know what…"Erin said as she took a deep breath before she must say something arrogant to this man. "you know what? I'm getting a headache from you; you make me feel confused at times! You have no idea how much control you have over my life! You're more than a fake husband! You're a great pretender!"
"What are you talking about? That I'm a great pretender? Everything I felt for you is true! Are you numb? Why can't you feel it, Erin?"
"Shut up Nathan! I don't have time for jokes now…"
"Well, I am not joking...do you want some deep talks? Okay, let's stop here." Erin stops the car in an area.
"Now talk! Talk to me…"
Erin pursed her lips and got out of the car, thumping her feet as she walked.
"Erin! It's dangerous to walk alone! Why are you so stubborn like a child!" Nathan complains as he gets out of his car.
"Erin, I care about you! You are my world! You are my treasure! And I love you!"
Nathan shouted at the top of his lungs, causing Erin to stop walking and slowly shift her eyes to him; she was paralyzed with joy, and when she heard that, she burst into tears, which were tears of joy.
She dashed towards Nathan, who was waiting for her response, which she hurried with a warm kiss. Nathan was relieved and felt as if heaven had shaken him because he already knew Erin's answer. They exchanged a passionate kiss, which led to them making love again and again.
