Chapter 25 - Chapter 24

"WHAT the hell are you talking about?! " James lost his control after hearing from his so-called brother ....

The young man released himself from his elder's grip and pushed his hands away from his collar..

"Calm down brother! What I am saying now is that... The one you are trying hard to protect is.... With her family now.... Don't you think how messed up this is?! A man waiting patiently for his hands to get blood while the other wants her to get far away from the fear! That the person sent her from another whole different place to an absolute trap! Woah!!!!! What a family.. " He chucked in mocking tone making James more annoyed of the fact that he's none other than the crap of a brother.

James just held his fists curled up and glared at the younger.

The younger stared at James with a smirk plastered in his face

"Why are you doing this Chris? "

The younger faced the ground again lifted his gaze back with a deadly glare

"Don't say my name from that filthy mouth of yours! So what you are trying to say is.... You actually don't know why the hell I am doing this?! "

James averted his tearful eyes away swiping his tongue across his bottom lip..

"Oh! So you really don't know why I am doing this? Do you?! "

The younger leaned forward reaching his brother's ear whispering.. Making James eyes wide and more tears falls from his eyes.. He pushed the man and rushed to get to his car and drove away leaving the younger alone..

"See! You don't care about your own brother.. Then why should I bother keeping her alive" He gritted his teeth

"Sir. Should I command them to make their move?! "

"Don't. Let's see how far this goes" He let out a loud sigh tucking his hands in his jacket... "Where's my suit? We have a wedding to attend! "

"All set boss"

"Don't you dare touch her! " The woman standing in front of Emily threatened the man that stood on the opposite side patiently..

"Do you actually think I'll obey your words? But I'm sorry to say this.. You are nothing but a piece of nothing.. Stay away from my daughter! "

A scoff left her mouth "your daughter? Huh! Then why are you planning to murder her? " 

Emily left dumbfounded hearing her parents arguing with each other... Tears dripped from her eye trailed her cheeks "Can you both stop? Please! I had enough of this " Her voice cracked while pleading. .

Both didn't stop from glaring one another to the point they didn't even notice the passed out Emily...

The world turned black for her closed eyelids..

But before her body touching the ground two strong arms held her in place and lifted her in his arms.

"BOTH OF YOU STOP! " a rough and stern voice made the parents to avert their gazes and out of their competition

The man who claimed to be Emily's father instantly dropped his gaze down after meeting the eyes of the angry man who's eyes is now deep sunset color..

On the other hand the woman.. Mother of Emily stood glaring at the man who's now holding her daughter in his arms..

"Let her down" She demanded

"How about No for an answer? "

"Let her go! You will kill her.. I don't want you near my daughter! " She made her steps towards the man holding Emily's shoulder to lift her off the man... But the man held her close to his torso and her head placed on the crook of his neck..

This made the woman more angry

"JAMES! LET HER GO! NOW! "

James didn't listen to the voice and made his way to his car placing Emily on her spot and turned again to face the two..

"I'm warning you again! You two! Don't you dare come near her! I won't think twice before ending you myself "

"I'll get her back on my own.. Just wait and see! " The woman said with a smiling face

James drove to their destination and woke Emily up only to see her confused face..

"Where's my mom James? I wanted to talk to her"

"It's time for the ceremony ,shall we?

.

.

.

The wedding Hall was filled with baby pink and white roses as it's main theme... The gentlemen dressed up in their tuxedo

And the ladies dolled up in different dresses..

The groom waited uninterested for the arrival of his bride which was decorated with a baby pink carpet..

The bride entered the Hall by holding her hand on her father's... A long white sleeveless wedding dress... Hair done to a messy bun... Diamonds decorated her neck, hands and her ears... A beautiful pink colour crown placed in her top of head that gave out an strong aura..

But there was one thing missed in them... Love, care and affection...

Ed hated her and was disgusted with her presence... Because he knew about her.. The true nature of her...

Crystal wanted him dead... Why?

The thing she felt towards him was just jealous.. Arrogance.. And hatred... Nothing more nothing less.

"Doctor the patient's condition is worse. The vitals are unstable. Please make your way soon to VIP WARD 21! "

The announcement made soon doctors rushed to the ward where the patient has been experiencing hypoventilation and Angina pectoris.. The doctor's made all their effort to save him.. But.. Unfortunately the vitals gone to none..

No intermittent beep sound heard.. Instead a straight line and a long ear piercing beep is heard...

.

.

.

The vicar stood in front of the groom and bride starting the ceremony..

Edmund faced crystal and began to say his vows

'I, Edmund, take you, crystal

to be my wife,

to have and to hold

from this day forward;

for better, for worse--

Soon his vows was cutted off by a loud voice.... His step mom...

"James ,  Edmund your dad ...h-he's dead" She said in the middle of her sobs

Both of them without a second thought ran leaving all the guests and bride behind... James took hold of Emily who stood there without knowing what to do...

.

.

.

The Davis siblings rushed to the hospital and to the ward where their now dead father is kept in the sleeping position... The sleep which will be taken place forever...

The man was kept in the white sheets covered with white blanket upto his torso.. The eyes sunken... Face pale... Lips parted and lost their color... Hair disheveled. . .

Edmund made his way to his father... His only family... Tears trickled down his cheeks.. As he sees his father who's lifeless body is now before his teary eyes..

"Dad?" He called out him for his selfishness... To see him open his eyes.. To see his dearest son.. But in vain.... There's no sign for his hope....

Tears streaming down his cheeks... A hand is felt on his shoulder... He turned to

See his friend Trevor standing with quivering lips and teary eyes staring at his broken friend.. He pulled him in for a hug in which Edmund broken much..

James consoled his mother...

Emily stood at the far most corner staring the broken family...

But when she decided to see the face of his boss's father... Her world crumbles to pieces... Her eyes widened.. Jaw dropped... Fists clenched... Legs started shaking... Her eyes couldn't believe the reality... And her mind failed to capture it....

"LORD VICTOR!" she mumbled in her breath... Thought no one heard her.. But in vain..

James eyes widened on hearing Emily's mumbled words..
