Lise stayed still on the bed, with her body curled into a fetal position, as Gael covered her nakedness with a blanket and kissed her cheek, her temple, her hair and shoulder.

“I love you,” he whispered, as if he meant it, although what he had given her was nothing but pain. “I want you to stay until I say otherwise.”

In other words, Lise would miss her class for weeks, or maybe she wouldn’t return to college this semester and must repeat it again.

Lise kept silent until she heard the sound of the door closing and the bedroom fell into a pit of silence, while out there, the darkness still hung over the night sky, it would be an hour or so before dawn.

.....

Finally, when the girl finally felt safe in this solitude, her demeanour cracked.

At first it was a soft sob that echoed throughout the dark room, a whimper from a broken girl who just experienced how cruel and unfair life could be, yet it didn’t take too long before her whimpers to turn into a full blown crying session.

She wept and howled in pain, as her chest tightened and no matter how hard she tried to keep herself together, the realization that hit her kept shattering her apart.

She saw her future in fear, as she knew how it would be if things kept going like this.

Lise cried until her throat hurt and her heart splintered into a million pieces, but that was not enough. The anger and sadness that entailed her pain was simply too much for her to bear.

She didn’t know how long she cried her heart out, but when Anna, a woman in her mid thirties, who was in charge of overseeing all her needs, came into the room, all left of Lise was only a girl, who was staring away into the distance.

Anna had short auburn colored hair and her bright green eyes stared at Lise, but she said nothing, as she put down her breakfast tray and walked out of the room silently.

Lise was as good as dead at this moment.

“Where is Knox?” Gael asked one of Knox’s men whose name he couldn’t remember, as he stormed into the gloomy house that served as Knox’s base of operations.

“Basement,” the man replied hastily and caught up with Gael, but the latter stopped walking and glared at him.

“Why are you following me? Do you think I don’t know where the basement is?” He had been here countless times, they should have known him and his temper and at this moment, Gael was not his easy- going self, it was quite clear to see it.

“Mr. McKeltar doesn’t want to be interrupted, he is in the middle of interrogation,” he said.

“Don’t worry, I will let him know a new method to kill someone, but if you follow me, I will assume that you want to volunteer to try it first hand.” Gael smiled, it was a harmless smile, but everyone knew better than to push him further.

The man stood still and when Gael continued walking away, he no longer followed him and only reported his appearance to the other man.

Meanwhile, Gael walked down the same corridor that he had known like the back of his hand and smelled the dampness in the air that he hated the most. If it was not for what Knox did, he wouldn’t have been here to confront him.

How dare he touch his woman and threaten her life!

Gael walked in long strides, ignoring the men that were stationed along the corridor, he didn’t even slow down when he reached the door, inside where Knox was.

Gael raised his leg and kicked it so hard until the wooden door hurled to the other side of the room, while the two men there gasped in surprise. They didn’t know what was with his hostility, but they knew not to block his way.

“Everyone out!” Gael roared once he was inside the room and found the man that he wanted to see.

Inside this huge room, aside from Knox, there were another three men and obviously the victim of Knox’s brutality.

If it was not for his chest still undulating shallowly, Gael would have thought that he already met his end.

This place was a hangar, with two light aircrafts stationed there, which meant this was the perfect place to continue their fight from earlier.

It would be nice to smash those beautiful aircrafts.

However, the three men there stood frozen in place, they didn’t budge and glanced at Knox instead, waiting for his instruction.

“Out.” A simple word from Knox, made them leave their sight. But then Knox added, because he knew what would happen next, “No one enters the room regardless of what you hear.”

This only irritated Gael further, thus he reached for the gun nearby and shot the dying man on the floor.

The sound rang and echoed throughout the hangar, as the man died in the pool of his own blood. The end of his misery.

“I am not yet done questioning him,” Knox growled.

“He was as good as dead,” Gael retorted and tossed the gun aside.

Now, it was only the two of them and there was nothing between them that could stop the two devils from clawing each other’s hearts out.

“Jackass! What do you think you did earlier?!” Gael snapped. “HOW DARE YOU THREATEN HER!?”

As soon as his anger could no longer be contained, Gael vented it on one of the aircraft near him, and the beautiful flying machine exploded with earth shattering sound that boomed inside this hangar.

Out there, Knox’s men were trying to enter the room, but with a simple flick of Knox’s finger, they were rendered powerless to open a simple door.

“I didn’t expect that a mere girl would be able to control you,” Knox snickered.
