His words left Julie unstable
Her eyes blinking in disbelief
Suddenly she felt like this whole thing was just a dream but the longer his presence occured in her mind
Reality hit her next
His words repeatedly played in her brain like a warworld 2 nuclear bomb and she wished she could just a hole to crawl into
They had just sleep together last night and here he was claiming to be her boyfriend
Dear gawd, is he a psychopath or sociopath that he can't simply understand the fuckin word 'strangers' uh
Mr Morris was red with anger and could hardly believe what he was hearing. He turned his head to face Julie " what's this nonsense!!! Tell me whatever he just said isn't true, have you lost your senses!! Do you want your reputation as the soon daughter in law of the Luke 's family to be tarnished!! You dare bring a man with you when you 're already engaged!!!" He raged his eyes shooting a fierce stern look at Julie
"I... it's not...." Before Julie could finish her sentence, Nathan interrupted her not giving her a chance
" She's mine so she can't marry into who the fuke are the Luke 's family" Nathan Scott paired her response effortlessly ,his dangerous cold gaze were on Mr Morris, his dark eyes cold and deepened
Excuding an unmatched aura like an invisible wind that blew with tension, his aura was everywhere making the air a little stuffy
Never have the Cortez's family felt this type of fear. But Nathan Scott made them scared and nervous
May Cortez was wordlessly in shock
Since when did Julie get entangled with someone like him
She couldn't even dart her eyes off his suite, this set of brand wasn't even seen in Seoul Korea
It looks alike as the tshirt on Julie
This type of brand was clearly a rare design
Her heart bubbled with envy
She'd always wanted everything damn of Julie Cortez belongings ever since they were kids, she wanted nothing else than Ashton Luke on her side
But seeing the handsome man Infront of her sister she felt a burning jealousy for her
May Cortez knew her plans were already ruined at that instant and it made her face twisted with rage her fists clenched unfolding her intensions
She wished for once she could just give Julie a tight slap that would suffocate her cheeks
Seeing this, Natalia tried to compose her from doing anything stupid
Mr Morris clenched his teeth, his face burning in hot anger. He has never thought his daughter would bring a man shamelessly into their family compound, if this outrageous information gets to the Luke 's family, this would lead to a block end of his business plans, tampering his procedures with him business collaboration with the Luke 's family. He'd taken certain steps inorder to make this marriage possible.
He felt his blood boil as his eyes flitted between him and Nathan's but his look were likely beatable compared to the one's of Nathan's.
"Julie, you do know the consequences of your actions... you are okay with loosing your mother 's property...I'm dissapointed .." Mr Morris stated with anger cursing out of each sentences brink by brink
Julie wanted to be swallowed by the floor and never seen again
She knew that this man had ruin her life at this moment, left her broken and splintered on the rocks, sinking in a sea of scandal
Her reputation could tattered after this
But amid all that thought in her head she felt struk in a middle
She couldn't and would ever agree to marry Ashton Luke even if it means she'd lost everything that means much to her
He was nothing but a pretender all this while, being with him was an enternal pain
Julie Cortez was quite aware of the benefits was mainly for her father and the family business . However that was the will her late mother lawyer 'd lended her
Inorder to inherit her mother 's property she must be married and known as the Luke 's family daughter in law
If only her mom could see how much of a pretender Ashton Luke really was
Nathan glanced at her, his eyes flickering with something unreadable.
His cold dark eyes swept over Mr Morris
" Mr Morris seems to having unhidden intensions. I'll be clear one more scandalous act you try won't be tolerated, I hate to see my woman like this. Make any unreasonable moves, you would regret it! ...." His voice was low and threatening
He stepped closer towards Mr Morris whispering a word
Something that instantly left Mr Morris in a stiffed condition. He could no longer feel the morale cursing through him again. His legs suddenly passed out on their own and he had to hold onto the door to support himself before finally holding himself up
Natalie rushed to his side worriedly
While Julie Cortez watched the whole situation,stunned .
" Any questions? " Nathan asked dryily
His tone somehow mixed with a warning
Mr Morris shook his head like an obedient servant without a word
Nathan walked calmly over to Julie, wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her possessively into his embrace
" Come on,babe," He said,a smoldering grin as he looked down at her
Julie stood there frozen like a statue. Shook to the core, she felt she had no choice but to cling to his arm and he led her out.
Her mind rumbled entirely, like scrambled omelette
...
Arriving outside the gates,it was then Julie finally regained her composure she scrambled out of his hold immediately
Julie Cortez narrowed her eyes, glaring at the man standing few steps from her as if she could just bore holes inside him with her gaze
Nathan on the other hand, flicked his wrist, leisurely leaning on his car
Just staring at him,If that was possible, she wouldn't mind.
"Didn't I make it clear? Are you a stalker or something. How did you even know my house? I might get kick out of this house all thanks to you, since when did we become that close to the extend you claimed being my boyfriend,are you serious? " Julie glared at him,her eyes burning with intense fire
The last thing she wanted was getting kick out of that house... and this stranger here just led her straight to hell
Her reputation would be tarnished if words goes out of her having a boyfriend
It would be an uproar in social media
And just great... His presence already seems to be a fine prove for anyone
It wouldn't be such a surprise if May Cortez used this against her someday
Her gaze suddenly dropped at the car Nathan was leaning on
Julie next word were trailed off seeing the unbelieving sight of the black mix with gold Lamborghini next to him
"Is this how you thank someone from saving your life" Nathan raised an eyebrow,a smug expression on his face
Caught off guard by such a question. Julie blinked in surprise for a moment before coming back to her senses
" You're right. But first you do realize you 're leaning on a car worth every penny of yours right? ..... Do you know who have this car? ... someone might have just pack this here....."
Nathan lazy gaze remained on her
She can't even be thankful for him saving her but yet she's worried about his car
This woman clearly wasn't aware of how much of his precious time he'd wasted here cancelling more than ten important meeting just to meet her
Does she even know how many women, even business men would kneel just to meet him?
She even gave him 10,000 won
Damm
"And what if it's mine? " He probed breezily
Julie Cortez brows knitted closely and her reaction seems like she just heard the most funniest joke until something cross her mind that instant
Earlier she may have tuk notice of his clothing
It was nothing compared to any designs she'd seen or work on once
Could she have mistaken him for a gigolo all this while?
Just as she was contemplating with her own thoughts
Nathan's voice rang out to her again
" I just saved you back there ,and the best option for thanking someone who just saved you 's this? ...."
Julie parted her lips for a while without saying anything infact she was utterly lost of response
If this is his car.....
She felt his words unbelievable
"Am sorry. You're right I should be thankful for your help today, thanks" Julie uttered earnestly for once she wanted nothing but his faintest presence anywhere near her
Right now, all she could think of was her own problems preventing things from getting out and breaking off her wedding plans with Ashton Luke
This man has caused her enough trouble
" ....I'll make sure I compensate you handsomely and after that I hope we may be strangers. This might not be enough but I hope it's ....." Her steps halted Infront of him as she opened her pause for the second time
In a swift move, Julie Cortez found herself pinned on the car with Nathan facing her
"What 're you...." Julie pushed against his chest with both hands but he didn't even budge an inch
Her gaze lifted slowly meeting with the eyes of Nathan
Staring at her like a prey
His dark blue eyes were intimidating somehow she found herself staring at him longer than she had planned
Nathan's hot minty breath mingled with hers, creating an intoxicating mix that made her feel lightheaded. Every inch of her skin burned with awareness,her body reacting instinctively to the tension between them
" I should be the one stating my price Miss Cortez...." His dark and alluring voice sounded very much of a Devil in possession of his own property
"And what would that be? " The words slipped out of Julie 's mouth making her unsure of her reply
"Marry me...."
