~~☆ CHAPTER 35 & 36☆~~
Liam had gotten his shirt on. He started to do his ne-ck tie and his eyes watched Ms lily.
She had plastered on her face a shocked, so dropped to earth expression to see Liam back on his feet again.
She didn’t know if he was playing a joke or it was all in her old hallucinations.
His back was still bleeding profusely. One would think he had jumped into a pool of red.
Liam started to rush towards the door and Ms lily ran swiftly to stop the devil that was smoking throu-ghhis ears.
She quickly got hold of his wrist, stopping him from pulling the door.
” Who the hell are you. How…You just got into an accident and…?!”
” And I’m moving to seek for justice against Emperor.” He said, widening his eyes and glaring ha-rd at her.
” Justice?. What are you saying!. Did you loose your head again?” She asked concerned.
Liam turned and gripped her shoulders firmly, squinting his deadly gaze at her.
” You do not know anything!!. You don’t know what the happenings are, so just sit and never stop me!. okay?!” He yelled and Ms lily bit her li-ps tremendously.
She looked up and saw the traces of blood falling down the line of his face, his shoulder…Everywhere.
Her heart suddenly clenched ha-rd in pain. She can’t seem to un-derstand why Liam would have to go all throu-ghthis pain.
” But your scars…They aren’t healed up yet. Don’t you feel pains?” She asked and Liam scoffed.
” I do not feel any pains when my heart is currently as cold as ice.” He said and turned away from her face.
” The scars will heal on it own. I don’t have much time to sit here and pretend to be weak.” He said and grabbed hold of door, staring at her again.
” Take a cab home. I’ll find my way from here.” He said and with that, he left the hospital office.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL
Mitchell was walking really fast. She was pa-ssing throu-ghthe parked cars in the parking lots.
The night had finally come and lightening was seen in the sky but there was no rain.
It seemed as if nature could feel as much pain as she was feeling at that moment.
Liam was in a coma and he was almost dying. She thought Ray said death wasn’t involved in their schemes.
She stupidly worked un-der them not knowing the complications they had land her boss into.
She felt so betrayed, and Used.
” Mitchell!” Ray called, walking in a haste as he followed her.
” Don’t spit my name outta your mouth!” She yelled, walking more fas-ter
Ray took another lane and bursted in front of her and she immediately stopped in her tracks.
” Why are you avoiding me, Mitchell?”
” I’ve told you. Stop following me!. I don’t have anything to do with you!” Mitchell yelled and threw her hair aside.
She tried to walk past him but he tugged her hands and made her rest her head on his che-st.
He hug-ged her and Mitchell kept struggling with his shirt, for him to let go of her body.
” Let me go!. Pervet!. Ugh!… I’m gonna kick your front a-ss now!” She yelled but Ray fisted his arm around her giving her less space to act.
” I won’t let you go, Elle. Stay with me like this.” He said and Mitchell cursed un-derneath him.
He began to pat her hair and she shut her eyes feeling disgusted by their closeness.
” Look. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I hurt Liam. I’m quite jealous that you are feeling this way towards him.” He said.
” Liam is my boss. He’s my best friend. Do you expect me not to feel hurt?!”
” I don’t like it when you cherish other people aside me. I really like you Mitchell and if hurting Liam would cause us to tear apart then I’m ready to quit working for Emperor.” He said.
Mitchell slowly got off his che-st and he finally let go of her so that they could stare at eachother’s eyes.
Mitchell gave a loud heave of sigh
” I can’t forgive you, Ray. If Liam doesn’t feel alright then I’m not alright as well. Right now, I’m not alright okay!. And Let me be alone!” She yelled and turned around to change route.
She remained stiff, rain had began falling. It started up very heavily and Mitchell hug-ged her skin as it got we-t.
She started to walk away and a loud deafening BANG was heard just behind her.
She halted in her tracks, widening her eyes. Her heart kept beating out of her che-st.
What was that terrible sound. She slowly turned around and almost forgot to breath.
What she saw got her nerves wrecking hard. Her jaw was dropped in the most shocking order.
It was Liam, looking like a pure definition of a ranging monster.
His white shirt had soaked entirely with blood into his broad che-st.
His dark hair was we-t, falling over to a side of his face and his powerful abs were showing on his che-st.
He wasn’t only looking dangerous but he was looking so damn intimidating.
Mitchell had never seen him this way despite the recent times he had gotten very madly upset.
It seems like this time, he had gotten berserk and he could kill without thinking twice.
He was holding up Ray with his collar and his back was resting on a car.
The car had gotten a large bump by the way Liam had hit him toward the direction.
” Where is Emperor?” Liam asked with bloodshot eyes.
Mitchell saw his bloody backs. She wondered how he got up from the hospital bed, looking still injured, but still strong.
Ray struggled with Liam’s hand on his collar.
” Get your filthy hands off my.. ”
PUNCH!!. Liam had gave him one on his cheek and it affected his whole face immediately.
Ray mouth began to bleed profusely. it was a very sounding punch that Mitchell palmed her cheeks to be sure it wasn’t her.
” Where…is…EMPEROR!!” Liam raised his voice.
” He left…to…home.” Ray quickly replied, breathlessly, while palming his bloody disfigured face.
Liam squinted his eyes and ran his fingers into his we-t hair.
” Damn it!. I was late.” He gritted. He knew Emperor had taken his wife along. The thought of it was making him want to growl loudly.
He didn’t want any man or kid with his wife. She belonged to him alone and for no one else.
Why does everyone failed to un-derstand his logic. why couldn’t he enjoy being married.
He wanted the fastest means to get to Emperor’s house as soon as possible.
” Your bike keys.” He ordered and Ray simply obliged like a responsive slave.
He dropped the keys on Liam’s hand and Liam left hold of Ray’s collar, making him drop aimlessly to the ground.
He walked towards the bike.
” Climb on.” He told Mitchell as he started up the bike.
Mitchell finally jumped down to earth after a long while of staring and disbelieving that everything happening presently was in her imagination.
” Huh?” Mitchell felt scared. Liam eyes met her and she froze at a sp-ot.
” Climb.” He gritted his teeth. Mitchell quickly jumped on the bike without saying any more words.
Liam drove off immediately in a dashing speed and Mitchell was for-ced to hug his bloody shirt.
Ray picked his phone with difficulty and tried Calling Emperor as soon as possible.

EMPEROR’S CAR
Emperor was still driving down the main road with tons of car pa-ssing thro.
He would stare at May at regular intervals and he realised she was moody ever since they started the ride.
She would stare into space, sometimes outside the car gla-ss and play at her fingers at some point.
He heaved a sigh and continued driving. He wanted to cheer her up so that she would talk to him.
He got to the ice cream joint and he made an order for a big bowl of different set of icecream.
” Ice cream?” He gave it to her and May looked at his eyes.
She knew he had bought it with a lot of money and she felt it was weird to reject it.
Meanwhile, her stomach wasn’t craving for anything and she also didn’t want to waste the ice cream so it was better off if she didn’t collect it.
” I’m not hungry. Thank you” She said and gave an irresistible smile.
Emperor adjusted in his seat in order to face her properly.
” Fine. I’ll feed you.” He said and May looked away, resting her cheeks on her palm.
” Don’t waste your time. I’ll just puke everything out.” She said, looking sad again.
Emperor sighed and stared at the icecream. He covered it up and rested his arm on her shoulder.
” You don’t have to be this sad May. Liam is not dead yet.” He said.
” Do you expect me to be sad until he’s dead. He’s in the hospital and he’s dying.” She spooned, trying to avoid tears that were in her eyes.
” He is not going to die, Okay?. And trust me, the doctor will find every way to get him back on his feet again.”
” I don’t know who’s behind this accident, but all I know is that he would never succeed in every plans he schemes against my husband. He would fail” She sobbed, wiping her tears.
Emperor rolled his eyes.
He had told the doctor earlier to give Liam has much anesthesia as possible so that he wouldn’t wake up, or never wake up.
Now that he is with May, finally, he wanted to make her part of his property and he would make her hand over all Liam’s property to him.
He smi-rked, loving the way his plans were moving smoothly for him. He thanked God for bringing May into his awesome life.
May suddenly turned to him and held his arm.
” Um.. Emperor. Can we go back to the hospital?” She asked, blinking her eyes in that adorable order again.
” Why?” He turned slightly upset.
” B..because, I have this feeling that Liam is alright. I think we should go back and see how he’s faring” She said.
” Go back and see him?!. How!. We just left the hospital just now and he was not alright, how did he get alright!” He yelled.
” I don’t know. I just got this feeling that he might be.” She said and Emperor started to smoke throu-ghhis nose.
He clic-ked his fingers on the steering wheel, biti-ng his lower li-p with anger.
He can’t believe he’s trying to make her forget about him, yet she keep bringing up his topic.
” Can we go now, please?” She begged.
” I’m here!. Isn’t that enough for you to stop thinking about him!. Huh!” He yelled, vein popping out of his head.
May stared at him with wide shocked eyes. she dropped her hands and took a de-eper swallow.
With the way he was behaving, Her instict began to tell her to run, and run far away from him.
” I think I’d take a cab home, rather. I can go home myself now.” She said, finding the car door while staring at him.
Emperor grabbed her wrist to stop her.
He suddenly grabbed her full cheeks and kis-sed her for-cefully. May felt her bones turning weak in an instant.
May struggled to push him away but she couldn’t beat his strength. He was so strong making her feel like an ant compared to him.
He started to lean up from his seat, kis-sing her hardly. His hands reached un-der her dress.
He carre-ssed her smooth thi-ghs and May palmed her legs close defiling him the freedom to go further.
He pressed her boo-bs hardly and tears began to fall out of May’s eye. She couldn’t take it anymore.
This was pain combined with unequal plea-sure. She was sad for being very weak and not able to fight.
She prayed inwardly for a saving grace to happen but she knew she was totally helpless.
Even if she shouted for help, no one would hear her because the gla-sses were closed and tinted.
The street was empty at this side of the road and it was lit up with just street light.
He started to un-bu-tton his shirt, with his other hands still pressing her boo-bs.
The Car gla-ss suddenly shattered and a strong firm arms got hold of Emperor’s shirt from the outside.
Emperor was shocked as he settled back on the chair and before he could think, a firm fist landed on his eye.
” Aww!!” Emperor exclaimed in pain.
May didnt wait to watch the present incident. As soon as Emperor left hold of her, She ran out of the car still crying mercilessly.
She ran and staggered on her feet. She didn’t look back. She kept running .
” May!”
May looked up and saw Mitchell on a large bike. She rushed towards her and climbed it up.
” Hug me!” Mitchell said and May tearfully obliged. Soon, She drove her away.
*****
MITCHELL’S HOME
Mitchell stopped the bike at the front of her small bungalow home.
The rain was still falling heavily and the two girls had become totally drenched in their dress.
Mitchell held May protectively on her che-st as she led her up to the balcony.
Mitchell started to search for her keys in a disorderly way.
” I thought I dropped it here.” She said worriedly and turned to May who had started to shiver in cold.
” I’m so sorry. I can’t find my keys.” Mitchell said and tried to opening the door.
She was suprised to see that the door could open. She hadn’t come home for days now so how on earth did. . .
They got in to the house and Mitchell turned on the light in the livingroom.
Every corners of the house was still intact. She breathed a cool sigh and turned to May.
” Oh. Sorry. Sorry. The rain.” Mitchell said as she helped May clean her hair with a Large towel, a towel as large as may.
May rested the towel on her head and covered her whole body, heaving a sigh of relief.
” Finally. I’m saved.” She said, closing her eyes breathlessly.
” Are you alright?” Mitchell palmed her cheeks with both hands.
” I’m scared. Emperor tried to touch me and thank God, I was able to escape. Thanks for coming in time Mitchell” She said and Mitchell folded her arms.
” Those people don’t have positive mind towards us. Don’t worry, Liam would definitely handle them.” She said and May blinked.
That arm that broke the gla-ss. Could that have been Liam. She had been in a rush to even notice it.
Mitchell tou-ched May skin.
” Ouch. You are so cold.” She said and quickly tugged out her hair dryer from the wall. ” Let’s see if this works.”
She began to dry her hair and May stared at her with a smile on her face.
She never knew Mitchell could be this nice to her, even saving her from the worst trouble and bringing her down to her home kindly.
She was with her, feeling some kind of connection that they were meant to be together like this.
May realised she had that eyes, that eyes that looked very much like hers.
Tho, the resemblance of them were not too visible but she felt it, there was this sort of attachment.
When she was done, Mitchell helped her rearrange her hair.
” We’ve never been this close.” May giggled.
” Yeah. But that doesn’t mean I like you. Yuck, why are we even talking!” Mitchell said and they both laughed.
” Good evening family.” A voice propped up making the two girls look up.
It was the almighty Ray. May quickly hid behind Mitchell’s back, shaking like a scared turtle.
” How did you get here?” Mitchell asked, stepping back furiously.
” You didn’t notice that your lock was opened?” He asked with a raised brow.
Mitchell wide-ned her eyes in realisation. She didn’t took time to think about it and now, it had dawned on her.
” So?. What do you want to do now. Kill us?.” Mitchell asked and Ray laughed.
” I want nothing . . . out of something” He said and stopped in front of them.
He grabbed hold of the key and threw it afar from Mitchell’s reach.
He grabbed her for-cefully and threw her inside a room, locking her up.
Then he turned to may.
” You, May!. You are finished. I won’t hesitate to treat you the way Liam did to me today. Come here!.” He said and grabbed May hair ti-ghtly.
” Ouch!” May winced, staggering along with him.
He took her and strode towards the kitchen.
May sobbed as he turned her head un-der the bowl of water, making her su-ck and breath water.
” I’ll do this until you drown to death. Just pray your Liam comes to save you before then.” He smi-rked.
TBC.
