Next day,
Emma fluttered her eyes open.. staring at the white ceiling. she tilted her head to the other side and saw a tray of breakfast. Alec was nowhere to be seen.. she sat up swinging her legs off the bed..to the floor, stood up and walked towards the bathroom, naked, her legs were trembling a little.. Emma closed the door behind her, stepping into the shower.. she let the freezing water pour on her soft - delicate body, as if the cold water would wash away that old man's touch off, she felt disgusted..he almost raped her, if Alec didn't get there on time..who knows what would have happened, Emma slide down scrabbling her body with a sponge.. trying to wash out the hands that touched her carelessly, that disgusting pig kissed her neck and every part of her body.. how disgusting, Emma wanted to wash all that off ...no matter how badly it hurts, she was crying.. not from the pain of the sponge, but from the guilt.. how could she have let this happen to her? She should have been more careful..more responsible, it was all her fault to have let that happen to her.
Alec walked into the room, he noticed Emma was no longer in bed..he wore casually this morning, a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants.. his hair looking messy in a nice - sexy way. he could hear water pouring..he walks towards the bathroom door giving a soft knock, a frown settled on his gorgeous face when he heard a crying from inside.
" Emma!" Alec called out," Emma!. I'm coming in." He told her opening the door, his eyes widened slightly seeing her on the marble floor.. scrabbling her skin so hard, almost turning red, he rushed to her side.. taking the sponge away from her, he hugged her tightly turning off the cold water.
" It's okay, I'm here with you." Alec pets her head gently, Emma cried even harder.. feeling completely helpless, he grabbed the robe wearing it over her body.. carrying her back to the room. seeing her in such a state.. trembling and traumatized made him want to go back and finish that old man's life, he only deserves death. " Are you hungry? You should eat something." He told her, Emma shook her head holding onto him tightly. he just laid back in bed with her clinging onto him..till she fell asleep.
Earlier,
when Emma was still asleep. Alec went to the wearhouse were the fat guy was being held, Aron and his other men were there.. the old man was badly beaten up, almost half dead.
Alec grabbed his hair making the old man to face him. " Nobody.. touches my wife.. and gets away with it." He punches him across his already bleeding face, the old man spits out blood lifting his head up to meet Alec's gaze.
" I - I wanted you to feel, exactly how I felt.. when you used to f*ck my wife.. over and over again, idiot." He spouted out with arrogance, Alec gave a wicked smirk. He has never looked so dangerously gorgeous, with his messy hair hanging on his face. He punched him once again, staining his knuckles with the man's blood.
" It's not my fault your wife turned out to be a whore, can you blame her though? Look at you, you look like you could die without lasting 3 minutes." Alec mocked him. " I will punish you so greatly, you will regret ever meeting my wife..I will send you to your grave much earlier than planned." He gave a devilish smile, Alec turns to Aron and instructs him to cut off the man's manhood off. " Yes, sir." Aron gestures for his men.
" Hey! You can't do this to me! What use am I if you cut it off!? The old man yelled, Alec ignored him and continued walking away.
Alec slowly slipped out of bed, carefully not to wake her up..he covered her up and went out, downstairs. " Should I get the car ready?." Aron spoke when he saw Alec rushing downstairs. " Stay here, look after Emma." Alec coldly said going out, he got into the car.. driving off.
Arriving at the main estate, Alec went right inside.
" Son, what a surprise." Grange bumped into Alec in the hall. " Emma isn't with you?." He added.
" No." Alec simply said walking towards the living room. " have come with a request." He added.
" A request?." Grange Qinn raised his grey eye brow.
" I want you to take Fredrick Hassan's authority over his company, leave him with nothing." Alec was brief and calm as he spoke.
" Fredrick Hassan? May I ask why you're asking such a request?." Grange was curious to know why his son.. would ask such a request, to get someone lose their company isn't an easy thing to do..of course it isn't an issue for Grange to easily take over, the Qinn family is the most influential.. important people in all of New York, and other major countries.. what says - goes.
Alec's face darkened.. his eyes dull and cold when he spoke. " He tried to rape Emma at last night's party."
" What!." Grange widened his eyes.. followed by a frown.
" Of course, I want this to stay between us...don't tell anyone, not even your wife." Alec said getting up, Grange gave him a reassuring nod.
Emma woke up rubbing her eyes, she got out of bed walking towards the dressing room, she wore a pair of blue sweatpants, a blue hoodie.. and fluffy slippers, going downstairs. She bumped into Aron in the hall.
" Ms Emma, how are you feeling this morning?." Emma gave a slight smile walking towards the living room. " I'm alright Aron, how are you." She greets back. " I'm well."
" Where's Alec?." Emma spoke not seeing any sight of him.
" Sir, went out."
Emma spotted a PS 5 next to the flat TV..it reminded her of the old days back in school, she loved playing all sorts of video games, still does, Emma turns back to Aron.
" Does Alec play?." She asked with a hint of excitement in her grey eyes, maybe they can play together once in a while.. that would be really fun. Aron shook his head side ways.. disappointing poor Emma.
" Sir doesn't play..he never learnt how to, his friends do though...every time they visit." He told her.
" His friends? Emma repeated. " Alec has other friends apart from Laura?." She curiously and cutely blinked at Aron.. obviously shocked that Alec has other friends, he doesn't seem the social type to have many friends..or is she wrong about him? Emma thought.
" His two friends, they went to the same college." He told her.
" I see." Emma pressed her lips touching the controllers.
" Would you like me to set it up for you, Ms?." Aron asked, Emma nodded stepping back..he helped her set up and switching it on for her, a minute passed by when she heard the door open and closing, Emma figured it must be Alec who's back home.
footsteps were heard approaching the living room, there he was, standing straight by the entrance.. with his hands in his sweatpants pockets, he tilted his head slightly staring at her with his indifferent eyes.. the eyes that she still couldn't quite read, Aron walked out.. leaving just the two of them, the room fell silent.. only the little sound from the TV was heard.. causing less tension.
Alec lifts his feet to walk further into the room..he folds his long legs to sit next to her on the fluffy carpet.
" You play?." His deep sexy voice rang through her ears.. which sounded so smooth and sweet like honey.
Emma stared into his blue eyes.. trailing down to his thin reddish lips.. and back to his eyes. Alec smirks noticing her eyes moving from his eyes to his lips, his hand reaches for her hand.. taking the controller, his eyes not moving from hers - Emma trembled when his cold fingers brushed against hers..not because she felt cold from the coldness of his fingertips_ but because she felt a sense of pleasure to it.
" Y.. you, do you - play?." She murmurs, even though her voice was flat..Alec heard her loud and clear... Aron already told her Alec doesn't know how to play, but she still felt the need to ask him. Alec simply shook his head while facing the TV, he was looking for a game to play.. even when he knows he doesn't know how to play.
" You can teach me." He finally told her stopping at a certain game, it was non other than a ' Super Mario ' game. Emma giggled pressing play.
