Chapter 100

Luca didn’t let go of her. He held her wrist and smiled at her softly. He was a rather intuitive man, and he knew that Inez was lying. He said to her, “You must be quite frustrated that you came here. How about I take you home? The night is no longer young; it is not safe for a woman as beautiful as you to roam on the street alone.” He flashed her a charming smile. Once he finished speaking, he was confident that his smile would be enough to make Inez strip off her clothes.
Inez looked at her wrist that Luca was holding and wondered how the man would react once he realised that the woman he was trying to charm was the very same woman he despised and hated.
“Thank you, but like I said, I am not interested,” replied Inez while struggling to free her hand.
“Are you sure?” Luca swooped down and brought his lips close to her. Just as their faces were inches away, he whispered to her, “I can make you taste the feel of heaven.”
Having run out of patience, Inez smiled at the pestering man before saying to him, “Oh, is that so? Then there is no need for you to take me anywhere. I can give you that feeling right here.”
When Luca heard her response, his eyes lit up. He looked around the pub and noticed that there were a lot of people who were going hard and heavy with one another. Wondering if the woman in front of him was the same, he questioned her, “Do you want to take this somewhere quiet?”
“There is no need; we can do it right here,” Inez responded, which only made Luca even more enthralled. However, just as he was filled with a hint of thrill in his heart, he felt a sharp pain shoot through his lower body, and he crouched down on the floor with a mournful groan.
His hands were clutching his crotch as he looked up at the woman in front of him; with fire burning in his eyes, he questioned, “Why did you do that?”
“For harassing an unwilling female,” Inez scoffed. “Can’t you see that I have no desire to follow you?”
Inez knew that Luca could be forceful when he wanted, but she never knew that the man was so persuasive and stubborn when he wanted a woman. She wondered if she had ignored all the flaws of these men just because she grew up admiring them.
She glanced at the table where Dominic and the rest were sitting, and it seemed like they had no intention of stopping Luca. It was a given that whatever Luca was doing was completely acceptable to them. Inez felt stifled and annoyed.
However, she didn’t say anything more to the man on the floor. She turned around on her feet and was about to head out of the pub.
Luca, on the other hand, felt furious. He could feel the many mocking gazes that were looking at him, and then raised his head to look at the woman walking away. It was one thing that she had rejected him, but it was another thing that she had embarrassed him in such a manner.
Ignoring the pain between his legs where the woman had kneed him, he got to his feet and rushed after Inez.
Even though Inez was a latent, her senses were still there. She knew that Luca was chasing after her, and she also knew the reason why he was doing it. Her gaze turned cold. She knew that she could not take on Luca, who was a dominant shifter.
However, she also knew that there was no need for her to back down from a challenge.
Inez recalled the teachings of her grandmother, who had once told her that a dominant shifter was difficult to defeat when he was focused on a fight. That was the reason why one should take them by surprise, because it was impossible for a half-shifter to take down a full-blooded shifter, but taking him down by a trick was always an option.
So before the man could realise what was going on, Inez turned on her feet, clutching her fist tight; she punched the man in the face. She put all her strength into her punch, and Luca, who was not prepared for it, was sent staggering.
He tripped and fell backwards, bumping into the waiter who was walking behind him. The server was carrying many drinks on the tray that he was holding in his hand, and was not prepared for the impact. The server fell back as well after being bumped into, and the drinks on his tray toppled off.
“AHHHH ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ.net
A mournful scream rang out, causing everyone to turn and look at the woman who was sitting on Jared’s lap. She jumped to her feet and looked down at her dress, which was now sticky with the liquid that was dripping down from her head to her toes. Her blonde hair was a sticky mess, and her mascara was dripping down her face, making her look really ghastly and ugly.
She raised her head and looked at the server, who was on the floor, and then at Luca before shouting, “What the fuck do you think you are doing?! Do you even know this dress is MM! It’s fucking one hundred thousand dollars, and you ruined it all!” And before Luca could stabilise himself, the woman punched him in the face just where Inez had done earlier.
Luca was holding his nose, which was broken by Inez’s punch, but was healing swiftly because of his shifter healing; however, before it could heal properly, the woman punched him right on the nose once again.
“Not the face, woman!” he shrieked. He did hear a crack, which sounded quite nasty, and was now worried that his nose would always be a little crooked.
“Maybe this will teach you a lesson,” huffed the woman angrily as she finished criticising Luca.
