Sacred Love: 30 

Steps are echoing aloud as the doors are bursted open.

Chills went down Bodyguard's spine as his eyes glared down deep into Mrs. Li's eyes.

His posture walked towards the living room as his fingers twirled the gun within the grip he had.

His eyes looked around as he found no trace of Cia's presence in the house. 

His leg upon others as the hand held the gun ever with such a slight grip.

Mrs. Li isn't the least to run into the living room only to find him there upon the sofa.

His aura made her knees go weak

   while her spinal cord shivered with the obvious feeling of fear.

Her eyes look right at him as a gulp takes place in her dry throat.

Sweat dripped down her forehead as she stood there before sighing. 

"M-mr. Xin-" his hand infront as Mrs. Li's eyes widened in realisation.

"Where's she?" Mrs. Li gave out a hesitant sigh as she sat infront of him.

"Mr. Xin, this is not going to happen. Please understand! There's nothing in my hand! She can't be such a great daughter in law- for Xin's Family- I...I-I-I'll give back all the authorities-"

the sound of his thumb twisting with middle finger echoed,

     which made the guard point the gun towards Mrs. Li within seconds making her flinch.

His thumb and middle finger has made a touch while his eyes opened looking straight into her eyes.

"It takes only a second for me to finish you, Mrs. Li"

his voice was raspy as her eyes softened.

"M-Mr. Xin, I can't lose-" ,her words go cut off as his eyes frowned with such stern expression plastered upon his face.

"Who" his gaze sharpened as she gulped in feeling her throat getting dry.

"M-Mr. Xin, M-my company is-"

"Who, Mrs. Li. Sir not going to ask again" The gentle yet sharp voice echoed from the guard who held the gun, pointing right at her head.

She gulped as Mr. Xin's thumb pressed against the middle finger making stutter with her words.

"I-i- M-my NO I- My husband's-

     T-THEY TOOK- THEY TOOK HER!"

She yelled out while his thumb was swiped aside from middle finger as his eyes froze still on her figure.

His eyes averted towards the guard.

He nodded as he let the gun stay in his pocket.

A deep sigh of relief left from Mrs. Li.

"Get the car ready, Kinne" he stated as he stood up taking out the gun from his back.

"But M-Mr. Xin!-"

he froze as his head tilted aside looking at her from his shoulder.

She gulped as she tood fidgeting with her fingers.

"Before bringing her, P-please take back the company from their s-shares?"

Shares? 

Her company- was owned by her husband has been maintained by her as per the news?

when has the company started giving shares when it's just single entrepreneur company that has been developed more than Mine once?

A frown forming on his face as he recalled the incident where Mr. Long has spreaded the rumors about the engagement ring Cia was wearing.

Was this a contract between them both to make her suffer between? 

But why? After all she was just 16- about to be 17! She was too young to be engaged-

and also to be involved in this.

Thoughts messed up his mind as he gritted his teeth.

A not so calm silence filled the room for a second as she bit her lip in anticipation.

He closed his eyes as his turned straight.

Anger and frustration getting the best of him.

"And why would I do that?"

She shivered under his tone as gun was clicked making her flinch slightly.

"M-Mr. Long linked her with t-that shares-"

his body Turned towards her as he stepped forward.

"So you're telling me all the rumors that been spreading about her getting tied with Mr. Long's son was real!"

His voice was louder than usual as the guards slightly flinched feeling the sweat dripping down their faces.

She stepped back as she flinched continuously.

"What the fxçk you think you're doing! She's a kid-"

"w-we are really in crisis a-and had no choice when h-his son confessed an offer-"

"offer! You call it an offer! She's not some object, are you fxcking crazy!"

"I-i know that! Y-you don't understand M-Mr. Xin, s-she was the only option-"

his hand in front as his face was sucked up in anger.

 His finger massaged his temple as he sighed aloud before turning away.

His hand gripped the gun tight as she gulped

while the sweat was wiped away by her hand taking a chance to breath well.

He turned towards her as soon as his thoughts got to an end.

"If you ever" his finger pointed towards her making her gulp.

'EVER do this again..." He gritted his teeth as the guards walked out while she looked at them and then at him.

"the consequences won't be even near normal, get that?"

His voice was demanding as she nodded slightly.

"Get that!" He said as she cried out.

"Y-yes!" He turned away as he stormed out of the house.

She collapsed there as she sighed out aloud. 

His car drove off as he gritted his teeth. 

"You're going to regret this" 

_____________________________________________

Her hands ached with soreness while tears flew down her cheeks.

She helplessly banged on the door with the sobs continuing within her throat.

Nothing was normal around her as she looked around in horror.

The big frame of Kan Long hanging on the wall.

She didn't want her past to restart in her now-life.

Instead of a guest room, she was in his room.

Kan long’s room which didn't help the panic attacks that rose in her body as soon as she was dragged out of her home.

She was thrown in his house,                                              in his room, on his bed that was decorated with petals of pale roses.

Kan Long.

The monster who brought her where she wished she never came back again

“P-please i-i’ll behave w-well! Please! L-let me out p-please…. Please!”

his slender fingers slowly trailed down the piano as the music echoed aloud.

His fingers pressed the keys so slow that almost sounded too soothing it could kill any thoughts of any human.

Her fists pressed against the door as the sweat made her drench in her own clothes.

Shivers continuously went down her spine.

Her sobs echoing while a smile was making its way to his lips.

    His eyes looked up looking at the sky that wasn't so sunny but so gloomy and dark.

The pinkish rays falling through the glass ceiling he's looking up at,                   his suit wasn't the normal one he would wear everyday.

It was instead such a professional and expensive one.

His smile was thin as her sobs were in sync with the music he played sitting there.

‘Nngghh n-no! Please! I-i don't w-want this!”

she sobbed as her hands were pressed against her stinging shivering ears.

Her body flinched as she heard a gunshot. No sobs echoed but silence filled the atmosphere.

Her pale skin lightened more before her body collapsed on the floor with the piano echoing aloud.

Louder it was played as her eyes closed within the tears escaping her closing eyes before her body stopped moving.  

. . . . . . . . . . . . . 

The door was busted open with the guards walking in with Mr. Xin.

a sharp gaze towards the man,                                              who froze between his laugh noticing him.

A gun in his hand with a tight grip upon as he looked around.

A woman walked into the living room as her hand let the kerchief she was wiping her hands with go,

noticing none other than Mr. Xin.

a gulp then her gaze fell upon Mr. Long, who stared at Mr. Xin,                       who stood there looking at the women with the gun in his hand.

“M-Mr. Xin? What a sudden surprise haha” a chuckle left Mr. Xins mouth,              which sounded more sarcastic than normal one.

“W-woah, haha honey you invited mr. xin and never told me? That's unfair!”

she nervously laughed as Mr. Long gave out a grinny smile.

“Welcome, Mr, Xin! We missed you a lot in business, I wonder why….”

he raised his eyebrow as his eyes looked at the person who's sitting in front of everyone.

“Mr. Xin, come here more often. Long brought something delicious to share with ”

they bursted into laughter as mr. long grinned while swirling the wine glass.

The gaze darkened as soon as those words left his filthy mouth.

The blood in his body boiled since he knew whom they were talking about. “I doubt if he's into young girls, Mr. Mek-”

his words got cut off as the thin shivers went down Mr. Long’s spine while his eyes widened.

The vase beside his posture broke into pieces as soon as the gunshot echoed.

As Mr. Long looked back at Mr. Xin, his sharp glare made him gulp vigorously.

“Where is she?” the young guard spoke as he aimed his gun upstairs.

“What the fxck do you mean? Who is where?”

Mr. Long asked surprised as Mr. Xin noticed the glimpse of smirk within the sentence he spoke out. 

A grin formed on lips as the anger was busting out slowly from Mr. Xin's body.

His sleeves are pulled up as he takes off his watch,                            letting the coat stay on.

Fuming with anger,                                                     his fist was thrown across Mr. Long’s face

which made the couch-he was sitting on spitting out about her with his filthy mouth- broke apart while his punches were continuously thrown across his face having no mercy.

“Fxking where she is, better say it or leave your breath right here!”

spatting out, his breath heaved as he wasn't the young Mr. Xin who used to not control his anger when it comes to his matters,               

especially the matters which includes his family.

The most precious gift he thinks he ever got.

And now, watching him talk about his daughter in law like that made him cross lines which surprised his own self.

“F-fxck!”

all the calmness in him left a long time ago                                   and all he wanted to do was rip his brain off with his bare hands.

                  “What's the matter, Mr. Xin?” 

 as the sharp voice echoed,                                             there he stood upon the stairs.

His well straight expression made Mr. Xin doubt if he's the kan he used to work and talk with.

As he made his way towards downstairs,                                      he looked at Mr. Long before gritting his teeth.

“What is it, spit it out Mr. Xin”

he said as he stood there.

Mr. Xin chuckled.

“How naive of you to trigger my patience, Kan.”

kan stared at Mr. Xin for a few seconds as silence filled the room until they heard the Maid hurrying down with a tray in her hands.

“S-sir! Ms. Li isn't opening the door”

Kan’s eyes didn't budge away from the sight of Mr. Xin stood there with hands that were stained with the blood of his father.

“Oh so it's about Mrs. Cia isn't it?”

his grin made Mr. Xin’s hand ball into a fist watching him laugh.

“You know you're making your life worse than it is already, kan?”

Kan's laugh faded away as soon those words left Mr. Xin’s mouth.

The young guard heard the maid screaming upstairs                              as his steps automatically forwarded towards the stairs with a gun in his hand.

A hand was in front of him as he looked in front                                

only to see Kan still looking at Mr. Xin where the words spilling out of his mouth with no hesitation.

“Didn't Mrs. Li talk about the business shares? I thought Mr. Long explained her well…?”

his gaze fell upon his father who looked at him in horror.

Mr. Xin looked at the guard as he looked back at him.

Kan smiled as he looked at Mr. Xin with a proud grin upon his face

until his hand was gripped by the young guard making him look at him.

The sharp gaze they both shared was breaking apart as soon as a chuckle echoed in the living room.

Kan's eyes sharpening within the louder Mr. Xins laugh got.

“You look so pathetic now, Long Kan.”

As the guard stepped up the stairs,                                         kans hand was behind himself searching for the gun

when it was pointed right at him by the young guard making his eyes go wide in surprise.

The young glared as he walked upstairs throwing the gun to the guard who catched it without hesitation

before aiming at the owner of it.

His eyes wide as his face lost all the emotions it held a while ago.

As his head was aimed by tons of guns,                                       he looked around with no hope of getting out of this.

As the back of his knee was kicked, his knees were on the floor while his hands were pushed back with a sharp demand.

The sweat dripped down his forehead as his glare loosening upon his face.

As he looked up, his frustration was visible upon his face.

“Mr. Xin you're forgetting that one of your business shares is in our hand-”

as Mr. Xin walked towards him,                                            his words paused while his skin felt the sharp shivers going down his spine.

As Mr. Xin looked up towards the stairs,                                      his eyes landed on the hand which was wearing a well shining ring upon the ring finger.

Her hand was dripping blood, while her body shivered with every breath she took.

She laid in the arms of the young guard as his eyes looked at her face with worry visible on his covered face.

As he stepped down the stairs slowly,                                        Mr. Xin's eyes were still on them but his back was bent forward leaning down towards Kan.

His breath hit Kan’s ear as he closed his eyes while nerves started to pop out the layer of skin against his neck.

A chuckle then he spoke which made Kan look up with widened eyes 

“Didn't you check news, Mr. Kan? I thought you already got a call?” 

Pale face of his was coated with a thin layer of sweat as soon as Mr. Xins words echoed.

 What? 

 Fear of losing everything he had filled his mind as soon as those words left his mouth.

His eyes shot up as the doors were busted open by his assistant,                      with sweaty skin, he breathed out heavily.

“Sir, the shares!- T-the shares are taken back by the entrepreneurs! Directors of our company have agreed to their statements!”

“What!” His words are loud as the assistant rubbed his temple,

“O-our company was removed from the nominated list of this year”

he said as Kan head lowered,                                          nothing was getting inside his head except the fact that Mr. Xin made his family fall on their knees Again. 

As they moved away, his hands were still back while his head was down.

Fuming with anger he can't take out,                                     shivers going down his spine as he looked aside.

watching her get carried away in the arms of the young guard who was walking past him

until he paused in front of his figure, facing the door.

“it is indeed Mrs. , but i think you forgot to put something” 

As the head of the young guard was tilted aside looking at Kan from his shoulder,        the remaining words left his mouth.

” ‘Xin’, she was none other than Mrs. Zal Xin”

as the body shivered,                                                    he looked with redness filling in his eyes with the unknown angry tears.

“And, No one going to change it”

as his steps moved out of the house,                                         a realization started to hit Kan like a trunk driven by a drunk man.

                             I failed.

His hands trembled, he looked down at his hand which was wearing a shining ring with the diamond,                                                    

           which reminded him he had something claimed in his hands

but now, he had nothing.

                          Especially her.

As something falling down-on the floor echoed, his eyes looked towards what was scrolling towards his knees.

It was shining.

And had a diamond which was glistening under sun rays that were coming through the door that was wide open.

As he looked up, her hand was seen.

Which had no ring-

that was right in front of him.

His head trembled with anger as the doors slowly closed with them walking out of the place.

She was free from the cuffs she wore all along….,

 indeed she was freed.
