LIAM POV: Today was the weekend. I planned on spending the whole weekend laying in bed. I was in no mood of doing something. My bedroom door knocked. 'Yes'. I called out. A servant enters the room and said 'Young master, your friends are here.' I didn't call them then why are they here. I thought to myself. 'okay.' I dismissed the servant. He lightly bowed down and went out of the room. I get up from the laying position. Suddenly, the door again opened and came in my best friends. William and Benjamin were my childhood friends. We three have done everything together. My parents were not like typical caring parents. Although they love me but mostly prefer business over me. William jumped on me crushing me down while Benjamin sat on the bed on another side. 'what's up buddies?' i said moving William away from me. 'Let's go out. Our second last semester has also ended. We should celebrate it.' benjamin said. 'you two go ahead. I am in no mood of going out.' i told them truthfully. 'No bro, let's hang out together.' William pouted. ' If you didn't go then we will also not go.' William said crossing his arms. Sometimes, he threw tantrums and it looks like a woman spirit has possessed him. ' Alright.' i lazily got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. I wore blue jeans with a white button-up shirt. I went downstairs to the playroom because I knew they would be there. It was true since they were playing Xbox there. 'Where are we going?' i asked. They both looked at each other with dumb faces. 'Let's find that out on the way' William laughed. I sat in my car and followed them out of the house. It was evening time. We planned to go and spend our night in the club. We went to our frequently visited bar 'Ace'. We entered the club and sat in our VIP cabin. The manager here also knew that I only like that cabin. Therefore, whenever I come here, he evacuates this place. I like this spot because the whole bar can be clearly seen from this spot. As soon as we sit down, girls started coming to seduce us as usual but I and Benjamin paid no heed to them except William. He is the playboy of our group. William was busy flirting with girls when the waiter came. He took our orders and went towards the bar. As I was looking around the bar, my eyes laid on a delicate figure entering the bar. Her face was away from me but I don't know why I was attracted to her. Her face turned and I saw her beautiful innocent face. I remember she was Emma whom I encountered a few times. Today she was looking beautiful. I'm not saying that she was ugly before but today she was looking hot. She was wearing a Black dress which looks like it was made especially for her. She has a nice figure. She came here with her friends. She was laughing and her smiling face did something to my heart. Her eyes were sparkling. Why was I thinking too much about her? I scolded my thoughts. I turned towards my friends to divert my mind. The waiter also came with our drinks at the exact time. I engaged myself in different activities and soon forgot about Emma. William and Benjamin joked around that made the atmosphere light. A lot of time had passed, William offered to go on the dance floor. As soon as I got up, a lady bumped into me and spilled her drink on my shirt. 'I'm sorry. I didn't pay attention.' the drunk girl slurred. 'It's okay.' i told her. 'You guys go ahead and I'll go wash my shirt to remove the stain.' I told my friends to go and don't wait for me. I then head towards the washroom to wash the stain off. I tried to wash the stain but it didn't come off completely. After cleaning my shirt, I went out of the bathroom. On the way out, I passed a group of girls that were seated near the bar. Usually, I don't notice such girls but what caught my attention was a certain name. ' What does Emma think of herself?' a blonde hair girl bitterly said. ' It will teach her lesson to stay away from Josh. He is mine.' the red-haired girl said in arrogance. 'But we had locked her for quite a long time. What if something happened.' another said worriedly. 'Let her be.' the red-haired girl replied looking at her long artificial nails. They continued talking among themselves. They look like those typical plastic bitches who constantly want attention. I went to search for Emma. Something inside me was nagging me. I worriedly looked for her everywhere. I went to the first floor and check all the rooms but she was nowhere to be found. I went to the ground floor in the hallway opposite the bar. It was quite isolated. 'Did she came here?' i thought to myself. I looked in the hallway but it was deserted. As soon as I turned to leave, I heard banging and yelling. I hurriedly went in the sound direction. There were stairs going down the basement. I went there and found a closed door. 'Voice was indeed coming from in there. Now it was quiet.' fear spread over me thinking that she was hurt. All these feelings were foreign to me. The door was locked from outside. I waste no time in unlocking the door. I opened the door and found Emma standing there with a pale face and sweaty forehead. She was on the verge of fainting. I hurriedly grabbed her before she fell on the floor. She weakly smiled at me and I felt a pang in my heart. She passed out in my arms. 'Emma, open your eyes.' I tried to wake her up but she didn't respond. I quickly picked her up and went out of the basement. It will not look good if I take her from the front door in this condition. I went towards the back gate. I give the bodyguard the keys to bring my car here. Shortly, he brought the car. I put Emma in the passenger seat and hurriedly went to the driver's seat. My mind was going blank about what should I do. I started the engine and drove towards my house. On the way, I constantly tried to wake her up but her body was cold. Her breathing was shallow. I pressed on the accelerator and speedily covered the distance. Soon my house was in sight. I reached and did not care about parking. I entered the gates and stopped my car at the front door. I get out of the car and rushed towards her side. I opened her side door and took Emma out. I went into the house and called out to servants on the way to my room. 'Call the family doctor, NOW'. I went to my room upstairs and lay her down on the bed. I touched her forehead and it was burning. I went to cover her body with a sheet. Thats when I saw her knee wound. Blood was dried and the purplish color was forming there. I wondered what happened with her in the basement. Knocking brings me out of my thoughts. 'Come in.'
