The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 54

“Why are you still drinking on behalf of Christian when you can’t drink?” Lucas stood behind her and gently patted her back. His heart ached for her and at the same time, he was mad at her. “Are you that keen on getting back into the circle?”

Victoria was overwhelmed by the puking sensation and couldn’t stop throwing up even when her stomach was already empty. The sensation was so uncomfortable that she didn’t have the mood to pay attention to his ridicule.

“Gargle with this.” Lucas frowned as he noticed how uncomfortable she looked and passed the water to her.

The puking sensation eased after gargling, but her stomach hurt even more. She wiped the sweat on her forehead and thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Spritz.”

“Why are you being so sarcastic?” His expression was glum as he took out his handkerchief and passed it to her.

“It’s alright. I’m afraid that I can’t afford to pay you back if I stain it.” She merely looked at it without accepting the handkerchief. After that, she turned around and walked away.

Seeing this, he followed behind her and hugged her from the back. His amber eyes were filled with pain and anger as he exclaimed, “Why are you being cold to me when you know that I like you? You’re heartless, Victoria!”

“Mr. Spritz, please show some respect!” she snapped as the sweat from her forehead started rolling down her cheeks. She tried to free herself from his embrace but to no avail.

Lucas then grabbed onto her shoulder and forcibly turned her around to face him. “The reason you’re working at Delta Club and trying your best to please Christian is just so that you can return to this circle, am I right?!”

“Let go of me!” Victoria refused to get associated with him as the guests at the party knew both of them. On top of that, she didn’t want to be accused of trying to seduce him if Bella and Nancy saw them together.

Lucas didn’t let go. Instead, he tightened his grip. “I’ll marry you. Would that do? Are you satisfied now?”

She scoffed while she endured the cramping pain in her stomach. “What will happen to Scarlett if you marry me? Are you going to give up on the collaboration with the Palmer Family? Even if you decide to give
