Tangled Temptations

Chapter 370

Chapter 370

Ravenna stormed out of the room.

It was Veronica who spoke first, her voice laced with concern. "How on earth did Ravenna end up here?"

Ravenna was an outsider, from a modest background, and the club they were in was a place where the average Joe couldn't foot the bill.

Veronica suspected Ravenna was keeping company with some dubious characters. After all, Ravenna was a classmate, and even if they weren't close, Veronica couldn't just stand by and watch her go down a slippery slope.

Gunner was visibly uncomfortable. He wanted to mumble an excuse, but Riley commented lightly, "Oh, was that Ravenna? She's quite a looker. Hope she doesn't take a wrong turn. Hey Gunner, why don't you play the knight in shining armor here?"

Gunner was seething inside. Riley fancied Veronica, and this must've been some sort of twisted joke. He was about to decline when the crisp sound of a lighter broke the tension. It was Harvey, flicking his Zippo.

The flame sparked to life. His chiseled face was inscrutable.

For some reason, Gunner felt a shiver run down his spine. It was odd; he suddenly had the feeling that Harvey seemed more formidable than before, even though he was only a year older. That aura was just different now.

"Go check on her, Gunner," Harvey said, breaking the silence. "After all, she's a classmate of Veronica's. It wouldn't be good if something happened to her."

Gunner wanted to see for himself what Ravenna was up to. As he rose, Veronica held him back. "Should I come with you?"

Gunner chuckled, "Nah, stay and have fun. I've got this."

...

Stepping out of the lounge, Gunner paused in the hallway and dialed Ravenna's number. "Where are you?"

Ravenna was fuming on the other end. Gunner had invited her, but Veronica was there too. It was as if he was mocking her.

She snapped, "What's it to you?"

Gunner's voice was firm. "Meet me by the restrooms."

He thought it was time to break things off with Ravenna. Whether today's situation was someone else's scheme or Ravenna's ambition, he couldn't keep her around. He cared for Veronica and intended to make her his wife.
