Love and Ruin

Chapter 5

Liam arrived at his penthouse and gently carried Roselyn, who was fast asleep, to his room and placed her on the bed.

He wrapped the sheets over her and turned off the lights so they wouldn't disturb her.

After making sure she was comfortable, he met Mrs Henrietta, his housekeeper, who was on the older side.

“Attend to her if she wakes up before I'm back and let me know when she wakes”, he instructed.

“Yes sire”, she replied and Liam walked out of the house.

He refused to let Harry drive him and got into the driver's seat.

He stepped on the gas and drove at high speed to an abandoned underground complex.

He walked in and tossed his jacket on the empty seat present.

Sitting in front of him was no other person than George who was tied to the chair. His head was hanging low, and he was drenched with sweat.

Liam took off his wristwatch and rolled his sleeves up. He took slow strides towards George and tilted his head up.

“Who are you? Let me go and I'll let this slide”, George said tiredly.

“Seems you weren't beaten enough”, Liam clicked his tongue and punched him hard in his face making a tooth fall from his gum due to the impact.

“Ouch, what was that for? What did I do to you? Let me go”, George cried out.

“Let you go? When she begged for you to let her go, did you?” Liam asked while landing another punch on his abdomen, causing him to spit out blood.

George's eyes widened when he realised who Liam was talking about, and he released a laugh.

“Oh. That b*tch. Did she pay you to beat me? Tell me your price, I'll double it”, George slurred, his words barely audible.

“Which hand did you use to touch her”, Liam asked

“Why?”, George challenged stubbornly.

“Answer me”, Liam said as he widened George's fingers with force causing his flesh to start ripping apart.

George groaned in serious pain, blood oozing from his palms.

“This one”, he screamed raising his right hand.

Liam immediately snapped the wrist of his right hand, earning a sharp cry from George.

“You kissed her with those filthy lips of yours. I'll make sure you will never be able to kiss any lady in your pathetic life”, Liam threatened and picked up a pair of forceps.

He signalled someone to hold George in place as he forced his mouth open and roughly pulled out his front teeth.

George passed from the pain and a bucket of ice water was poured on him to wake him up.

Liam picked up a bat but his phone rang. He pulled off the gloves he had on to take the call.

“She's awake”

Liam dropped the bat and ended the call.

“Finish up”, he said to Kane, his right-hand man.

He picked up his jacket and wrist watch, got into his car and headed to his house.

“Where is she?”, Liam asked.

“Your room sire”, Mrs Henrietta said. Liam went straight to the room and opened the door.

Immediately, a case flew across the room, and Liam dodged it in time, earning a minor cut on his palm.

Roselyn's eyes widened when she realised it was Liam, and an instant look of regret fell on her face.

She immediately rushed to him with an apologetic look.

“I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else. I'm so sorry”, Roselyn apologised as she took Liam's palm in her hand.

Liam remained frozen on the spot; he couldn't dare to move, or he couldn't guarantee what would happen next.

Roselyn's b**bs pressed against him, which made his c*ck move slightly in his pants.

“F*ck”, he cursed inwardly. He looked down at Roselyn who stared back at him with her round eyes that carried unsaid apologies in them.

He gritted his teeth and removed his palm from her hand.

“It's just a minor cut”, he said and wrapped the cut with a handkerchief.

Roselyn bit her lips and stared at him in guilt.

“I already said it's fine, Roselyn,” Liam reminded.

“Thank you really for saving me, I can't imagine what would have happened if you hadn't been there”, Roselyn said sincerely.

“No problem”

“I should head back to my dorm, my friends must be very worried”, Roselyn said as she played with her fingers.

“Harry will drive you back”, Liam said and took off his tie.

“There is no need, I can go back on my–”, she stopped when Liam came close to her.

“It is final”, he said in a flat tone and Roselyn gulped.

“Okay”, she nodded slowly. She reached for her bag and walked out of the room but Liam stopped her.

“Here”, he said handing her a scarf. “Cover yourself”, he gestured at her exposed shoulders.

“Thank you”, she said with a smile and walked out of the room.

As soon as she left, Liam released a sigh and stared at the bulge in his pants. He went straight into the shower to cool off.

When Roselyn got back to her dorm all her friends rushed at her.

“Where have you been. We called but it wasn’t going through”, Vivian said worriedly.

“I'm sorry, my battery ran out”, Roselyn replied.

“What of the car that brought you. Who owns it”, Olivia asked

“Liam”

Everyone stared at her in silence. Roselyn told them everything that transpired and their countenance immediately changed.

“That bast*rd. I'll deal with him”, Isabella threatened angrily.

“Uhm, I don't think there will be a need for that, Isa”, Vivian slowly said as she showed them her phone screen.

It was news about George being hospitalised and fighting for his life currently.

“I guess karma already caught up with him”, Olivia smirked.

Roselyn had a look of horror on her face. She excused herself and went to a quiet corner.

She dialled Liam's number, and he picked up immediately.

“Is George's situation your doing?”, Roselyn asked hoping deep down he would refuse

There was a brief silence at the other side before he responded.

“Yes”
