EPISODE 12: HOW DARE YOU
1114 Words
Eunice’s POV
"Sweet Heart."
I felt all of my blood left my body. I was shocked! It took me a couple of second before I responded.
"Who did you say?" I asked not still clear of what I have heard.
"They tried to kidnap your Sweet Heart." King waved his hands to the underlings. They fetch the torture tools and laid it in the table in front of these five people.
"WHAT?! How dare you!" I ran towards them with a killing intent. I don't care! I'll kill them myself!
I was eaten by my own anger and rage.
I was lifted by a hand. I tried to set myself free from the grip yet that hand is so powerful. I can't break free! It intensified my anger and hit the hand with a stick. The stick I used is not the typical stick you can see under the tree but a handy weapon. The tip of it has a hidden sharp knife of about five inches when activated with a small button. Before I can stab it in his hands, another hand quickly held my wrist. Taking the stick from my hand. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me from behind.
"Let me go! Let me go!" I can feel the monster inside me going wild. I can't contain it anymore!
"Calm yourself!" He said but my mind is still blurry with all this anger I feel inside.
"I will kill them! I will kill them! I can't let anyone harm my Sweet Heart!" I forcefully twisted his hand, kicked him... Until my feet numbs. I felt a liquid dripping in my face. Why? Why is this dripping down my face?
I slumped in the floor... Motionless. They are my only treasure in this life. I can't let anything bad happen to them.
He gathered me in his arms, patted my back... Comforting me... Letting me cry until my eyes dry.
I felt his shoulders shaking. "Don't you think your over reacting? Nothing happened to Sweet Heart, okay? Hahaha!” He laughed bemusedly.
I was dumbfounded with his words. I looked around the room, scattered dread underlings, quivering captives. 'Gosh! Am I i***t?!'
I collected myself and turned around. Suddenly I wrapped my arms around his neck, stood up and throw him with full force in front of me.
He instinctively jumped, swayed through my movements landing his feet to the ground.
I glared at him, boring all my anger to his bones.
"Look out!" I reached his head and docked. BOOM!
There was a big explosion inside the room.
"Stop it already." He said looking straight to my eyes. "I don't want you to stain your hands with somebody's blood. Let me handle everything." He said and hugged me again... Tighter.
I simply released a bigger micro-bomb than the one I used earlier. He countered it with his same toy, lancet.
"If you kill them now, there will be no more fun."
"I somehow admire your reflexes. I can't distract you but you're taking too much advantage from this situation, pervert! Get away from me!" I swerved from his arms and head straight to the door. "I don't want to see their faces anymore. I can barely contain my rationality."
He nodded at the section 25 head underling and ran after me.
I felt so exhausted.
The time we left, the underlings are looking with each other.
"Am I dreaming? It's the first time I've heard King laugh."
"The way he looks at her... The warmth. I've never seen him look anybody with that kind of emotion displayed in his eyes."
"He never spares other girls with a glance anyways."
"Gosh I got goosebumps!"
"What are you all talking about?! Go and do your assignments!" The head underling said with a frown. 'That boy treats her really differently. In my forty years of serving them, I have witnessed how he treated other girls fiercely yet he becomes gentle towards her.' He shook his head in disbelief.
-----ooOoo-----
I was awoken by the sound of my ringtone. I opened my eyes. Looking at the familiar interior of my room. I reached for the drawer my bedside table.
"Hello Strat U, there is a problem in section 60."
I rubbed my aching head. "I'll meet you at the meeting place." I hung up. "How did I end up here?" I wondered around muddleheaded. Suddenly, I looked at my clothes under the blanket with wide eyes. "Who changed my clothes?!"
"I did not." A guy standing beside the window of my room said. Half naked, holding a steaming cup of coffee. He is like a celestial beauty kissed by the sun. A real beauty and a recherché body.
"Then who?!" I asked fiercely not giving an inch to be fooled.
"I did." He smiled and bantered.
I ejected my cellphone to him. He caught it with his free hand.
"I'm joking! Hahaha! I love your impulsiveness, baby." His adoring brown eyes cast me a glance.
I saw the younger version of Sensei in him. The ambiance around him, the warmth in his voice, also the way they treat me. He is the carbon copy of his grandfather.
I was the only one who had given this chance to see their faces because when we face the hidden world, we wore masks. I am too grateful when they sheltered me from this hard living world. They are the one who helped me to my knees the day I can't stand on my own. They gave me a new meaning of my life. We always appear like fighting with each other... Verbally and physical but it livens our conversation. We all cannot stand a boring meeting.
I am still clutching the blanket when I glared at him indicating that he has to go out 'cause I will take a bath and fix myself.
He shot his hands up. "I'll go now. I might get killed with your killer look. Hahaha!"
The room suddenly shuts open.
"Good morning, mommy!" Sweet sweetly greeted me and crawled up the bed.
"Good morning, mommy." Heart shot a glance at the man in the window. He kissed me and went to him.
"Good morning, daddy." He stretched his hands towards him.
"Good boy. Good morning." King said with a beaming smile plastered in his face. He squatted and kissed him.
"Daddy? I want a hug, too." Sweet hasn’t seen the man in the window so she is quite surprised to see him. She excitedly jumped towards King.
"My babies had a lot of fathers, eh?" I smiled to them.
"Daddy is really handsome." She held his face in her hands.
