"You can look for yourself!"
Lucy's face became distorted on hearing his words. She tried so much to control her emotions and sneered through her teeth, "Did you even think a little bit about Ria's feelings before coming here? How could you do that to her?" Ren's guess was confirmed this moment, his smile widened as he enjoyed her display of affection for Ria.
He slowly shrugged his shoulders and his eyes showed some level of happiness and amusement. Lucy's pressure kept raising by each second he stood there without any guilt. She took a deep breath and said, "You just leave this place now. I will take care of the woman. As long as you promise not to repeat this and abide by it, I will never utter a word to Ria about this".
Ren raised one of his eyebrows in surprise by her response, he said in jovial tone, "That is an tempting offer, unfortunately I'm completely smitten by that woman and I can't leave her till last breath". Ren's eyes were on the bathroom door while he spoke this and Lucy grew more impatient.
She was so suprised and stunned to be exact. She never thought her brother-in-law to be like this. The one he knew was always noble and he loved her sister as deep as the ocean. Maybe he wanted to get his revenge on her sister for leaving him. This was the only conclusion she could come to now.
Lucy tried to plead with Ren as she said in a low voice, "Think about Ria, Brother-in-law. She may have left you but she loves you more than anyone. You can't do this to her. I promise I won't say anything to Ria about this and you don't repeat it. You simply have to leave now".
Ren couldn't hold in anymore as he chuckled out loud and said, "I can't, because..." Before Ren could finish, Lucy emptied the water in the nearby jug all over Ren. She was on the verge of breaking down, at that second her emotions took a 180 degree turn on hearing her voice.
"Lu?"
Lucy froze on hearing that single word and remembering the glare she got from Ren just now. She couldn't even let out a breath. Ria's footstep was heard as she walked towards them. Her soft child like voice was heard as she said, "Lu? What are you doing.... Oh My God! What happened Chérie? Why are you drenched?"
Ria rushed into the bathroom to grab a towel and came back fast almost sprinting. She immediately dried his hair while she saw Lucy holding a Jug in her hand. She looked Ren's face and then Lucy's face. Both of them were looking at her. She didn't ask anything as she pushed Ren towards the bathroom.
She gave him a kiss on the lips and said, "Whatever it is, go easy on her please!" Ren didn't say anything and looked at her indifferently. Ria said pleadingly, "Pretty please, she is a little girl". Ren's lips cracked up as he run his fingers through his hair. His thin lips moved and a dangerous voice was heard, "I will go easy on her but it will take an entirely different level toll on you".
Ria lifted her eyebrows and said seductively, "You will let me go unscathed otherwise. Go! Take a bath! I will be waiting". Ren's eyes darkened on hearing this, he pulled her into a passionate kiss and then went in. Ria came back and saw Lucy standing at the same place without moving inch.
She couldn't hold her laughter on seeing this, then she ushered her to the living room near the entrance. She made her sit on the sofa and asked while pouring her a glass of wine, "What the hell happened, Lu? What was that all about?" She looked at Ria with atmost fear as she asked, "Is he angry?"
Ria caressed her back as she was on the verge of crying and said, "There! There! Its alright, he won't say anything. Don't worry". She slowly nodded and gulped the entire contents in the glass. Ria's eyes widened on seeing this and she silently cursed Ren for teasing her little sister.
She was so sure that this was all because of him, otherwise there is no reason for Lucy to react this way. Actually Lucy was not frightened untill she emptied the water Jug over him and heard Ria's voice. He gave her death glare which made Lucy's legs go weak. She won't even look at him now for few months.
Lucy let out a deep breath while Ria called room service and asked for a new set of clothes for Ren. Then Lucy explained everything starting from the encounter near the Women's room till the moment Ria walked in. Ria felt touched but at the same time she laughed till tears came from her eyes while Lucy's lips had a slight curve and her cheeks were pink from embarrassment.
Ria said after taking deep breath and holding her stomach, "Don't worry, Lu. He deserved it, seriously! Give me a five". Lucy squinted her eyes and gave her a look. Ria put her hand down and gave her a sheepish smile. Then Lucy said while pressing her hands together, "Easy for you to say. You should have looked at Brother-in-law that time!"
Ria tried to console Lucy and said, "He is a little boy, Lu. I will take care, don't worry!"
(cough)(cough)
On hearing the coughing sound, the first thing that came across Ria's mind was, 'I am dead!' She slowly turned her face back to see Ren standing near the partition wall between the living room and bedroom in a towel around his waist. Ria immediately closed Lucy's eyes, which had no way of looking at him.
She shouted, "You Pervert! Can't you see a pure girl sitting here. Roaming around with towel alone". Ren glared at Ria immediately and said, "That pity mouth of yours is speaking a lot recently. And for the record I didn't plan on roaming, I simply came to call you over. Get your ass here". Then he walked back inside the bedroom.
Just as Ria stood up, the door bell was heard. She answered the door, it was room service. They gave her what she requested and went back. Ria brought the new suit and went inside the room. Lucy was holding her heart in her hand by that time. She started to prepare an apology speech to give for Ren.
