Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 490

Chapter 490: Reaper (2)
“How…” Arabella and the rest were dumbfounded when they saw the police officers leave without looking at them a second time.

Neither of them had expected such a turn of events.

“Now, who is going to tell me what happened here?” Nicolai’s cold voice sent shivers down the spines of the people in the crowd. They were just as quiet as they were boisterous a few minutes ago. “I am not a patient man, you see? It will be better if you confess the truth right away. I might go easy on you.”

“Stay away from us,” Arabella said to Nicolai. There was a slight tremor in her voice, but she was still trying to be brave. “You cannot hurt us; we live in a society ruled by laws. If you…If you harm us any further, we will sue you,” she shouted.

Nicolai turned to look at the woman who was shouting hysterically; he remarked with a chuckle, “Looks like one bullet wasn’t enough.”

His words sent chills down Arabella’s spine, and she quickly hid behind her husband. At the same time, she did not forget to glare at the man. Did he think that he was above the law?

Nicolai’s murderous eyes swept past the crowd as he jeered at them, “And if you just went the fuck blind, FYI, the law is dead, and it might as well kiss my ass when I walk in front of it.”

“And who do you think you might be to say those words?” One of the men who had put his hands on Ariana earlier asked Nicolai with a brazen tone.

Hearing his question, Nicolai motioned for the man to come towards him. His actions were similar to calling a dog, which offended the man so much that he rolled his shoulders and stepped forward.

One of his friends tried to stop him, but the man shrugged him off and said to his friend, “Why are you so worried? You heard the man just now; they will not kill us.”

With that, the man walked over to where Nicolai was standing and raised his arms before crossing them in front of him.

“What?” he questioned haughtily.

“You want to know who I am?” Nicolai raised his fist and punched the man in the face so hard that his tooth was knocked out. “It’s Nicolai De Luca, you fucking son of a bitch.”

Nicolai De Luca? Wasn’t he the rumoured mafia prince?

The people in the crowd turned silent as they were frightened out of their wits. They all looked at one another, for they had not expected to offend Nicolai De Luca of all people.

“Nicolai de Luca?” Arabella repeated with a dumb look on her face, and her husband, behind whom she was hiding, shook her hands off his arms.

He said to her, “This is why I was asking you to stop! I tried to tell you again and again that the man behind that woman is none other than Nicolai de Luca. But did you listen?”

Mister Garner had never seen a woman as stupid as his wife.

Arabella turned frightened when she heard the words of her husband. However, she did not wish to give up, which was why she turned to look at the crowd and shouted anxiously, “Call the police!”

“They will come and arrest this man, he is—AHHH!” She did not even finish speaking when another bullet dug deep in her palm. It pierced the flesh and created a deep hole in the centre of her palm.

Blood gushed out of her wound and Arabella stopped speaking altogether. She clutched her bleeding hand and raised her head to look at the man fearfully.

“Go ahead, call the cops,” Nicolai’s eyes were shining with rage and mirth at the sight of Arabella’s pain. He said to her, “Let’s see, which one of us will be faster. The cops or my bullets.”

The woman who had taken her phone out to call the police turned pale when she heard Nicolai’s words. She immediately brought it down and looked around in worry. She did not want to get hurt.

“Mister de Luca,” Arabella gritted out. “You are being fooled by that woman, she is sleeping with not just you alone but a lot of men. You—”

Nicolai raised his gun and shot right at Arabella’s feet. The woman did not expect him to do such a thing, she stepped back and right and left before jumping and hopping on her injured leg.

“You sure are funny, a woman who cannot even accept that she is in the wrong is daring enough to say that Ariana is lying to me? When did these men pop up, or do you think that I am so foolish that I cannot decipher whether I am being cheated or not?”

His Pallas was a woman with such fierce loyalty that she did not even go looking for another man when she was left alone in the Nelson family by her husband. For three years she kept her chastity and innocence without even letting another man touch her.

How could anyone even question Ariana?

One of the women immediately chimed in, “But we met with the woman whose soon-to-be husband was taken away by her—”

“Which man? Which woman? Do you know the identity of the woman?” Nicolai questioned the woman.

“She was a woman from a good family and seemed well educated…”

“So you mean to say that as long as one is educated and is wearing expensive clothes, their words become true? Then how about I kill all of you and tell the officers that I didn’t do it? After all, I am wearing clothes finer than you,” he raised his gun and shot at the man who ripped open Ariana’s shirt.

He could see the fabric sticking to the watch of the man.

“AHHHH!!!” The scream of the man echoed in the parking lot, and everyone stepped away from the maniac who seemed to have come to reap their lives.
