CHAPTER 2: THE SET UP
1040 Words
Williams looked back at Kate, at the woman he had given his heart to the moment he was lost, the moment it felt like he would never find happiness in life.
He stared up at Jack for a moment, at the arrogance and the stupid smirk on his face. He had everything under his control, while the only thing Williams had was Kate. But not anymore. Kate was going to leave him as well.
"Kate, is this true? Or is this a prank? He asked softly.
Kate sighed, "Yes, Williams, we are breaking up.. Here's Jack, my new man," she introduced, and Tracy squealed with happiness.
Williams doesn't even know what was making her so happy. If he ever had a way to pay back, the first person he would teach a great lesson was Tracy.
And the sad thing was that she never loved him. And he really thought they both had something for each other.
Williams bit back his tears, he wouldn't cry.
"Poor guy, you didn't even touch this woman's hands right? You're really pathetic."
"If you can lick my shoe, I may give you a job as a security man I'm with my company, how about....1000 dollars per month? Jack taunted.
Tracy laughed, "Oh! That's very kind of you, Mr. Jack. If I were you, I wouldn't talk a word to this homeless beggar.
Hey loser, why don't you just get on your knees and lick his shoes? This is your job interview!"
Seeing people insult Williams, Kate said nothing but stared at Jack, smiling. She must have thought that she made the right choice to be with Jack, instead of Williams... More whispers filled his ears as he proceeded to kiss Jack's shoe.
Williams looked up at once and watched the smirk on Jack's face. He got up and quickly punched him in the face.
Jack reeled back and Williams had to stop for a moment to help him. He didn't actually expect the punch to hurt him so much or cause so much blood on his face. But Williams was so angry to even realize it.
He ran out of the house before Jack's guardians came after him.
But yes, they came after him, and he ran as fast as his legs would carry him.
He ran for a moment until he got to a garden on the side of the road. He jumped inside and hid behind some flowers.
The men stopped at his exact location and their gaze searched around before they left.
Williams stayed for a few minutes before he walked out of the garden. He felt all the sadness he had been having all day. He had been trying to fit into society but it seemed like the world wasn't even meant for people like him.
That part, why couldn't he just love like everyone else? Why does he have to fall victim to love? After all, he had done to her. He even gave her half of his salary. He did everything for her.
Why then did it all have to happen as it did?
Williams felt the tears under his eyes but valiantly wiped them off. He wasn't going to cry. He was only going to get drunk.
Life was a waste anyway.
Williams walked into the layon bar. Layon is one of the most popular bars in Brighton. And the reason was that it has hotels and suites. Also, it has a restaurant and a gym.
He ordered four bottles of beer and walked out. He settled down a few kilometers away from the bar. He didn't want to stay inside the bar for fear of oppression. There were a lot of rich men inside and staying with them would remind him of Jack.
He drank the first and second beers.
By the time he was drinking the third one, he was already feeling tipsy.
Though somehow he was still able to remember Kate, which wasn't the result he wanted.
He dropped the third can and proceeded with the last beer. He started feeling funny halfway and suddenly, he fainted while the can dropped from his hand and fell to the floor.
His eyes closed and he fell into a deep slumber.
A man took a step closer to the bar and stopped. He was a tall man in a tuxedo suit that complemented his dark hair.
"I said you should find anyone! I must settle it all for tonight!" He screamed annoyingly and turned towards Williams.
He regarded him for a moment and a smile exploded on his face.
"Don't bother you, idiots!" He screamed once more and beckoned one of his guards to come closer.
"Yes Boss," the man said.
Jack was still looking at Williams. "Get that man inside the room 405."
The man raised a skeptical brow.
"That's where Madam Merry is?"
Jack turned to give him an icy glare.
"Did I say I don't know that? Just do what I asked and stop asking foolish questions!" He yelled again. It looked like he loved yelling.
The man bowed slightly and looked back to beckon two men over.
"But, "Jack said suddenly, and the man turned to look at him again. "Get his trousers off. That should do the trick, "there was a smug look on his face as he made the suggestion.
The men complied and soon got inside the room where Merry was, sleeping. They carefully placed Williams on the bed beside her.
Though, it was a miracle that she didn't stir at all, till they did their job and walked out of the room.
It was like forever when Williams finally opened his eyes. Actually, he felt more comfortable which aided the alcohol in his system. He turned on the beb until his hand touched skin.
Violently, his hand was yanked away, and a huge slap landed on his face, accompanied by a loud squeak.
"What the f**k have you done to me!"
The feminine voice screamed.
Williams blinked once and tried to concentrate even though the slap hurt him so much. He sat up and his gaze searched around quickly.
Unable to understand where he was, he looked back at Merry, "Who are you and why am I here?
