Chapter 144

144 The Right Threat

Aluna’s palms looked as red as Kalea’s cheeks. Her chest rose and fell, staring fiercely at Kalea, as if she was not satisfied with doing something rude to her former best friend.

On the other hand, Kalea only wore a flat expression, not looking scared at all. Letting her cheeks sting from Aluna’s slap.

“You come around slapping and accusing me. What do you mean, it’s my fault? What did I do?” Kalea asked, folding her arms in front of her chest.

Aluna laughed, her laughter getting louder, Kalea remained silent, watching until Aluna slowly stopped while wiping the corners of her eyes that were slightly watery. The burgundy-haired girl also said, “Pretending not to know? Do you think I’m an idiot? Who else knows about those photos and chats, huh? Of course, you do!” Aluna scolded, pushing Kalea’s shoulder until Kalea took a few steps back.

“Why are you blaming me? You did it, do you think I’ll keep quiet like a moron as you wish?”

Aluna was wide-eyed in disbelief, she really did not expect Kalea to be this brave to her. “Haha, why do you have to interfere? You’re right, it’s better for you to shut up like a moron. We have nothing to do anymore and I’m not bothered by you anymore!” Aluna snapped irritably, her teeth chattering with her hands clenched so tightly that her palms were slightly injured by her long nails.

Kalea closed her eyes briefly and sighed heavily. “It’s your own fault. If you hadn’t acted so carelessly towards a friend who had defended you desperately. Maybe something like this wouldn’t have happened and I wouldn’t have told them the proof,” Kalea said, leaning against the wall beside the penthouse door. She had no intention of inviting Aluna to come inside and never would. “You’re the stupid one. Why do you have to snatch a man that your friends like? Do you think they will be as patient as I was?” Kalea continued with furrowed eyebrows in surprise, really unable to understand Aluna’s nature.

Why did she only find out about Aluna’s rotten nature after several years of being very close friends?

“Still you don’t need to interfere! You have absolutely nothing to do, bitch! Those men don’t like them anyway, why blame me?” Aluna retorted, not feeling guilty at all.

.....

Kalea was no longer strange, she just rolled her eyes lazily. Aluna’s shamelessness was really ingrained and hard to cure.

“You think I believe you? Before you intended to desperately flirt with Arthur, it doesn’t rule out the possibility if you do the same thing to other men,” Kalea accused, which of course was true and immediately made Aluna even more furious.

“Because Arthur doesn’t suit you! He is a classy man and far compared to you, who have many flaws here and there,” Aluna replied with her sharp mouth.

“Wow, how lightly you talk, Luna. Even though Arthur and I have always said that our relationship is only limited to a contract. But you continue to think otherwise,” Kalea sighed heavily and shook her head.

“Shut your mouth, you cheap bitch. I don’t want to talk about you anymore, it makes me want to vomit. Now you’re satisfied to see me in this condition, huh? Thanks to you, I was bullied by everyone on campus. I don’t know how my family will react after finding out,” Aluna said sarcastically as she smiled slyly.

Kalea returned Aluna’s smile very sweetly, as if not bothered at all by the girl’s sarcastic words. She nodded happily and then said, “You’re welcome. After all, it’s the result of your actions too, Luna. Enjoy the karma.”

The look on Aluna’s face was anger again, she was really annoyed by Kalea’s sassy behavior toward her.

“Fuck you.”

“Yeah, whatever you say, I’m already tired. You’d better get out of here before Arthur comes,” Kalea snapped, but Aluna had not moved from her position.

Aluna’s hands were shaking even more as she held back from hitting Kalea in front of her. “See my revenge later, I will not stay silent,” Aluna said with an increasingly sharp gaze, her evil instincts became even more intense.

Not only Aluna, but Kalea did not want to lose. Her expression became cold, she stepped forward in front of Aluna, but the girl also retreated, until finally their positions were reversed. Now the burgundy-haired girl was stuck to the wall. Aluna froze, she found it difficult to protest. Even saying a word was difficult. She unconsciously held her breath when Kalea brought her face really close, just a few inches in front of Aluna’s face.

“Luna, I’m really fed up with all the drama that has happened and there seems to be no end to it. Aren’t you tired at all?” Kalea asked.

“Haha, you-”

“I’m not done talking yet. You can reply to my words after I’m done,” Kalea cut in with an increasingly sharp gaze as if she could stab Aluna’s body with a katana-like blade. Aluna was completely silent even though her expression looked very hateful to Kalea, but Arthur’s sugar baby did not care. And continued her words, “All this time I have been holding back Arthur from doing something to you. You know that my daddy can do anything to make you suffer, right? But I kindly endured it, letting you live with zero percent guilt.”

Aluna bit her lower lip, a sharp glance which she directed at Kalea’s hand, which was presumptuously patting her shoulder. Not to mention, the look on her face that made Aluna hate her even more.

“I’m not afraid of your threats, Luna. Because the one who should think twice before acting is you. If you still dare to bother me, I will ask Arthur to take care of you directly. And you should know that Arthur will not only make you suffer, but your family too,” Kalea said with a sweet smile, then took a few steps back so that Aluna could breathe properly.

Kalea stared at the downcast Aluna with suppressed anger. She knew that if Aluna could not do anything now, her threat seemed to have succeeded.

“Now you can talk, Luna. I will gladly hear everything that comes out of your mouth,” Kalea said again, because Aluna had not yet spoken again.

However, until Kalea waited long enough, Aluna had not yet spoken. Kalea looked at the clock on her wrist. Arthur should be home soon and she did not want him to see Aluna here. Kalea turned her attention back to Aluna.

“Now you better introspect yourself, Luna. Don’t be a person who likes to be surrounded and get a lot of attention from others. Until you don’t want men to like other women. You’re not that special, Aluna,” Kalea said endlessly, there was a little hope that Aluna’s heart was moved. “I have also forgiven what you did back then because it’s better that we don’t have anything to do anymore.”

Aluna looked up again, staring at Kalea with deep hatred, but she could not do anything because she was defeated by Kalea.

“You better get out of here now if you don’t want me to call security to evict you,” Kalea chided.

Until the end, Aluna did not say a word, and immediately left Kalea’s penthouse area with a feeling of resentment. She was forced to leave because she did not want to be taken by security, who was known to be fierce and very disciplined.

Kalea breathed a sigh of relief after Aluna was completely out of her sight. She staggered into the penthouse, then dropped her body on the sofa.

“Hopefully after this, she’ll really come to her senses,” Kalea muttered as she looked at the ceiling of the room that was so high that she could never reach it.

On the other hand, Arthur, who had just arrived at the apartment where Kalea lived, was now waiting for the elevator to open. Today he left early because he was not feeling well and would continue at his sugar baby’s penthouse. He realized that it was hard to concentrate all day and was stressing Juan out. Juan told Arthur to rest first to refresh his mind.

This was the first time Arthur had insisted on working because he wanted to keep himself busy so he would not think about Kalea. However, his wishes were not in line with the secretary’s. Finally, Arthur was forced to leave early. Actually, he had intended not to meet Kalea right away, but reading Zeline’s message that there was something horrendous on campus made Arthur worry about Kalea.

Ting!

The elevator opened, Arthur had intended to go inside, but his eyes were rounded when his gaze met someone familiar. Just like that person.

Aluna.

It was unexpected that Arthur would meet Aluna again.

“Hey-!” Arthur called, but he was too late to stop the girl, who was already coming out of the elevator at a very fast pace. “Damn, did something happen again between them?”
