Chapter 199
Ariana’s fingers came in contact with Brian’s muscles which were almost burning to the touch.
She immediately tried to pull her hand back, but Brian didn’t give her the chance. Instead, he tightened his grip
even more.
“Answer me.”
Brian propped one hand on the couch, his entire body mere inches from Ariana.
“Whose abs are better to the touch? Theirs, or mine?”
Ariana’s hand was soft and delicate in his grasp as if it might snap if he applied a little more force.
Perhaps it was the alcohol, but a sudden urge surged through Brian–an urge to pin Ariana beneath him and make her beg for mercy.
He wanted to see the feisty, sharp–tongued woman–who had repeatedly provoked him–lying under him, eyes red, crying, and pleading.
The thought sent a rush of heat through Brian’s body.
Feeling the heat radiating from his body, Ariana immediately yanked her hand back. Her face darkened as she raised her hand and slapped Brian hard.
“You pervert!”
The slap wasn’t particularly forceful, but it left a noticeable red mark on one side of Brian’s face.
By the time Brian came back to his senses, Ariana had already bolted.
“What’s going on? What did you just do?”
Outside the room, Isaac saw Selena rushing after Ariana.
In the room, Brian rubbed his face with a darkening expression. “Tell the owner of the club that I don’t want to see any of the male escorts who were just in this room ever again.”
Isaac stood frozen as Brian stormed out of the private room.
What the hell just happened?
Selena fumed when they were outside the nightclub, “Brian Lodge is too controlling! I saw a bunch of gorgeous girls in his room earlier. Why, then, wouldn’t he let us have any fun? He even kicked everyone out!”
Ariana and Selena hailed a cab. Both had had a bit to drink, so driving wasn’t an option.
“Ari, he didn’t do anything to you, did he?” Selena asked.
“No, not really… But it’s just… strange.”
Ariana could still feel the warmth of his ab
lingering on her fingertips.
Wait. Wasn’t it normal for a man to be furious and disgusted when he saw his fiancée hanging out in a room full of male escorts? Shouldn’t he have Immediately called off the engagement?
What on earth was Brian doing? He didn’t even break off the engagement.

“In my opinion, Brian is nothing but a controlling freak! Didn’t he used to be all lovey–dovey with Evelyn? Didn’t they claim she even had his child back then?
“Now, he’s turning around and controlling you! What a scumbag! You should dump him!”
The more Selena spoke, the angrier she became as if she were the victim.
