Today was destined to be a bad day because after the witch pissed me off with her ridiculous list, there came another tragic news: Maria and my kid were involved in an accident.
I raced to the hospital like a madman – my employees would never forget the sight of me speeding to my destination like the Flash.
My mind blanked, what happened? Didn’t Judy have his eyes on them? The thought of losing my daughter and Maria made my heart pound so erratically, it felt like it would leap out of my ch*st.
“Where is she?” I roared at Judy once I reached the hospital and didn’t wait for him to direct me since my gaze found her.
I engulfed my daughter in a tight hug; so tight that Isabella complained.
“At this rate, I’ll die from suffocation”
I loosened my hold but didn’t let her go, p**ssing her flush against me; relieved to feel her beating heart; relieved to feel her hot breath on my neck.
I pulled back and rained k**ses on her face while the girl just tensed up in my arms. I was so close to losing her today and the thought frightened me greatly – the fear made me numb.
Aside from a scratch on her face and bruise where she had scraped her hand on the concrete, she looked okay.
I was still checking her when Eden burst into the room and engulfed his daughter in a tight hug, his behavior similar to what I’ve done to my daughter moments ago.
“What happened?” I inquired.
I was too anxious over my daughter’s safety to ask what had happened earlier.
“We were attacked; some brawny scary looking men with guns surrounded us “
“Maria fought against them but they were just too many ” Anabelle contributed.
Speaking of Maria,” Where is she?”
“She’s in the operating room. From what I know so far, she suffered a concussion, two broken ribs, and some bruises “
“What?!”
“It was Gerald’s doing ” Judy disclosed.
The shock was yet to wear off when a punch met me straight in the face. My face swiped to the side as I staggered before glancing up at Eden with a glare.
“This is all your fault!” He growled and moved for a second blow but I intercepted him, grabbed his arm, and threw him over my shoulder eliciting a shriek from the frightened Anabelle.
We both launched to our feet with quick reflexes and prepared to charge at each other when Judy got bet**en us.
“Would you two lovestruck fools behave for once” He scolded the both of us sternly with a fierce gaze.
“Idiots” Isabella mumbled under her breath, shaking her head with her arms folded across her ch*st.
“What would Maria say if she saw you two behaving like hormonal teenagers ?” Judy queried sternly.
“She would punch some senses into their retarded brain probably” surmised Isabella once again.
Once the anger died off, I indeed realized how stupid both of us were.
leaving the room and far away from the children’s earshot, I began my interrogation – not giving a damn to Eden who was standing beside me with an exp**ssionless look.
“How did this happen? Didn’t I ask you to keep an eye on her?”
“I did but his men fooled me. I had been following at a safe distance when his men disguised in police uniform erected a roadblock. Before I could get to them, they had already been rescued with Gerald and his men eradicated”
“Who rescued them?” Eden asked this time.
“I have no idea, they cleaned their trace perfectly” Judy answered.
“Fine, what’s important is that Maria is alive and I hope like hell I don’t see you near her ” Eden said his piece and left.
“Is Sakuzi, isn’t it ?” I asked Judy after ensuring our discussion wasn’t being eavesdropped on.
“I couldn’t find any evidence linking them, but the killing pattern? That’s their MO” Judy pointed out, then asked in confusion.
“It’s confusing, why would he go through the trouble of saving the girl? He could have just ended Maria’s life and blamed it on Gerald- heck, why would he even save her from Gerald?”
I faced him, ” He has marked her, Judy. Aside from him, no one else is to end the girl, and ending her in such a manner, is a great loss to him – he would do it right in front of me “
” What are you going to do?”
“You’re relieved of your services ” I dropped out of nowhere.
Judy was dumbfounded,” What?”
“From now on, you’re free from serving me “
“You can’t be serious”
“I’m never been serious than now “
He grabbed my arm “Do you understand the implication of what you’re doing? Who would protect you?”
“You’re not the only shadow guard available, Judy. You’re no longer under me but your job from henceforth is to protect the girl “
“Maria?” His hand fell, “No wonder”
The third point of view
“What have you been doing?! ” Angela yelled at her daughter.
Kim was startled, her face scrunched up in confusion, “I don’t understand”
She had not been home last night to cover up for the works piled up on her desk she had missed the past few days thanks to Tina’s whimsical errands. But what she never expected to meet was her mom’s cold and furious reception.
Her mother smirked mirthlessly with her brows slightly raised, “You don’t understand?”
Before Kim could guess her intention, Angela picked these papers from the empty side of the sofa and threw them at her face.
The look of fury on her mother’s face made her question herself, had she done anything wrong? But when she thought about it, the result came up null.
Perplexity flashed across Kim’s feature as she went through the papers but that look soon evolved into bewilderment.
Her l*ps quivered, “How is this possible?” She glanced up at her mother, searching for answers.
“You’re asking me? Whose responsibility was it to keep her from getting involved with the company’s matters?”
Kim w*t her l*ps and tucked her hair behind her ear after taking a deep breath, “Fine, I admit it. This was a mistake on my part but it wouldn’t repeat.”
