Forty-two. Was he waiting for me?
With swift and we'll practiced moves, the bodyguard lay on the floor. It was quite a tough fight for him but he still managed to put them off. He walked into the ward. As a former medical practitioner, he knew how and where to start from. He just needed to inject the syringe. He took out the syringe and drew the drug into th syringe. Then, he raised it towards he drip bag...
He didn't know how it happened but all he could remember was that he was holding a syringe just now....but now he was kneeling before this cold looking man who held the injection he was with some minutes ago in his hand.
"And you're?", the man asked him in a tone that was so chilly down to the bones.
"Just kill me. You won't get anything from me".
"I know. I was just asking. But...", without warning, he stabbed the syringe into the man's neck. The man paled in an instant,his eyes widened due to shock.
Kim had already arrived. He didn't need to be told what to do. He bundled the man and took him away while a new set of bodyguards took over.
Ezekiel rushed to the bed and immediately looked Monalissa over. If he had just been one step late... He shut his eyes tightly to stop himself from taking the imagination any further.
"You...are really stressing me a lot Walker".
The next two days, he stayed with her, taking care of her. He needed to see her wake up. On the third day, she finally woke up. Her weak eyes met his anxious ones. Monalissa couldn't help but think, ' Was he waiting for me?'
However she shrugged it off as she deemed herself less important in the eyes of Ezekiel Don.
"You're awake", he said with a slight smirk.
"I'll get you the doctor ", he said and stood to go.
Her hands seemed to have developed the mind of theirs as they reached out to hold onto him. He halted as her touch seemed to electrify him. The shocked pulsed throughout his body, from his veins through his capillaries to the arteries. He looked at the hand that was holding him back. He could fling them away. He could release his hands from hers easily but a part of him didn't want to. And he seemed to be leaning towards that part.
"Master...please can you stay awhile?"
Ezekiel looked at her. He wanted to rush to her and hold her but he tried a great deal to keep himself in check.
"Alright".
"Thank you". Monalissa was grateful that he agreed. She didn't know what came over her but she didn't want him to go. What was going on with her? She hated him! He was the devil himself!
Ezekiel sat down beside the bed but didn't look at her. He looked at everything except her. After he had stayed for sometime, he said, "I will invite your friends to come and stay with you today".
Monalissa arched a brow. "Really?"
"They asked to come visit you. You should see them ", he said stoically.
"Thank you master "
"Whatever. Just recover fast. There are missions to handle".
"Yes master", she replied.
" Master ", she called again.
"Yes?"
"It's about Luke...the reason he started staying at the factory".
Ezekiel felt his blood boil the moment she said Luke's name. "Do you mean I passed wrong judgement?", he asked his brows knitted.
"No. It's just that maybe, you were manipulated".
"Hurry up and recover. I still need to get to the root of my brother's death", he said trying to let her know the reason she was here.
"Yes master. I also have a lot to tell you", she said her voice very weak.
"Stop talking. I don't need your throat to tear. I still need it for your sounds", Ezekiel said to her. Monalissa who didn't understand what he meant lay down back innocently. A slight smile played on his lips when he saw how cute she was being.
"I'll get the doctor ", he said and left.
