CHAPTER 3: WISHES FOR DEATH
1086 Words
Merry gave him a dirty glare. "What sort of question is that? I should be asking you!"
The door opened almost immediately, and the king walked in with a wide smile on his face. " I know you were always with men. I just don't know why Grandfather wouldn't trust me on it."
"What the f**k are you saying!" Merry snapped. "I know nothing. I don't even know how this i***t got on my bed!" She argued.
Jack smiled and took out his phone to take a shot. Williams was watching the drama, unable to ascertain what was really happening.
Merry got up quickly. "Please, don't do this. I have no idea how it happened!"
She pleaded and moved closer to him.
Jack scoffed. "Too late, I have already sent it to my grandfather.
"Damn!" Merry yelled and fell on the floor. She couldn't stop the mad beating of her heart. The thought of how much her grandfather would be disappointed in her ate her raw.
"Hey! What am I doing here!" Williams yelled suddenly, finally able to locate his voice. At first, he thought he was dreaming. He remembers getting drunk, but nothing else, and wondered what could have happened.
He looked up at Williams." Hey, you shouldn't scream. You are caught up in this as well." Then, he looked down at Merry." Save your tears sister," Jack mocked. " Because grandfather will be here soon."
Merry looked up at Jack with surprise.
"What do you mean?
"Well, grandfather stayed in the kingdom's room yesterday night after I told him about the nonsense you were always doing behind his back."
"But that's why nonsense!" Merry snapped. "I have never done this! And you know it!"
"Well," Jack shrugged. "Maybe and maybe not."
Williams got out of bed and moved to the door. The door opened suddenly and some men rushed inside. Williams jerked back in fear, while Merry stood up to wipe off the tears that were on her cheeks already.
"Grandfather," Jack called softly as an old man walked inside the room.
There was a dark frown on his face as he looked at Merry.
He slowly traced it to Williams and grimaced at the kind of clothes he was putting on.
Lord Lucy looked back at Merry. "I'm disappointed, Merry."
"No, grandfather. It's not what you think," she protested helplessly.
Lina shook his slightly. "You know the rule, merry. Yet you broke it."
Williams had slowly succeeded in getting to the door unnoticed and was about to walk out when the men blocked his way.
"Where do you think you are going Young man?"
Williams turned to look at Lina, and his heart made a skip. He didn't even understand anything. I still seem like a dream to him.
"From today henceforth, you will be my son-in-law ."
"What! Why?" Williams yelled, unable to conceal his outburst. What the f**k happened? He was drinking a few hours ago but he's suddenly an in-law?
"What is that supposed to mean? How could you sleep with my granddaughter and you still have the gut to say that? Where are you going to sleep with her and run off?"
Williams stared for a moment and realized that all gazes were on him, except for Merry who was sobbing quietly. He cleared his throat meaningfully. That's not what I mean. I meant to say it shouldn't be because I don't even know her and nothing happened between us, and I'm sure of that."
Lina glanced down at his shorts. Williams followed the path of his gaze and sighed. He was busted already. He hadn't noticed that he wasn't even wearing trousers. "How dare you joke with me!" He screamed at him. "And for that, "he looked up at one of the men. "Beat him up!"
"What!" Williams' eyes almost went out of the socket.
Williams had an argument at the tip of his mouth but the sudden slap that landed on his face robbed him of the words.
He landed on the floor as several hands collided on his body, each hitting him so hard that it felt like he might die.
At once, he saw an image of himself standing abreast someone else whose face he didn't see.
He jerked out as the men stepped aside. He coughed out blood and managed to look around the room. Lina wasn't in the room again and the men were walking out one after the other.
Williams closed his eyes instantly when he realized he was feeling dizzy, and he knew the pain coming from his Head to his nose meant that it was broken. His body hurts so much that it feels like all his bones are broken.
"Pitiful," Jack mocked, "Merry, you should check your husband and make sure he's not badly injured. So, you guys won't lose face for Robinson. You know you have to be at the Party," he laughed and finally strode out of the room.
"What have you done to me!" Merry sobbed harder from behind him.
Some men rushed in again and Williams' heart skipped another beat. At first, he thought they were back to give him another beating of his life. Instead, they moved to Merry.
"Madam, your car is ready," one of the men announced.
Williams curled up into a fist of the ball, with pain rolling through him.
Merry didn't answer the man and sobbed for another moment before she finally stood up. She looked over at Williams.
"I hate you so much for ruining my life," she took a step and stopped." One of my men will drive you home. He will be at your house tomorrow morning, so we can go to the Party. You should also go to the hospital for a check-up. My grandfather will kill you if you don't come to the party." With that, she walked out of the room with some men, except for one.
Williams closed his eyes for another moment. He didn't even want to get up but he knew he had to. He was truly hurt and maybe he would need to go to the hospital.
The man in the room didn't hurry him up, which he was glad about. Williams slowly stood up, but he coughed up more blood. Perhaps there was something else that had broken inside him.
His heart had been shattered already but he knew something else had happened to him. Perhaps he was going to die.
Maybe he should. He was fed up anyway.
