Chapter 21 - HE OBLITERATED A PACK (1/2)

The feeling of being both trapped and free at the same time is the most mind twisting feeling of all.

Lise left her breakfast untouched and sat beside the bed, hugging her legs close to her chest. The cold tiles beneath her bit into her skin, but she didn't care. She felt like she was dying, her lower body ached so bad that she had to grit her teeth tightly.

Though the medicines she took helped to ease the pain a little, they didn't have any use in terms of giving a shred of comfort over what she felt.

Even Lise's breath was shallow.

The doctor had checked on her, Gael must be the one who had called him to see her condition, and it was an embarrassing moment when he said that she shouldn't be engaged in sexual activities for at least a week.

She wanted to laugh in depression when she got that advice.

And now her own mind shut her out. The only thing that gave her comfort was the fact that she was alone. No one would bother her or touch her, until Gael appeared again.

Yet, her solitude was broken by the ringing of her phone somewhere. She didn't know where her bag was, since Gael took her away from the night club in the blink of an eye, after killing his two business partners.

He was insane, there was nothing he wouldn't do… at this point, Lise was sure about that.

The phone kept ringing until the silence returned, but it didn't take that long before it rang again. This happened four times before Lise decided to stand up and moved her limp body toward the source of the noise.

Lise found her bag on the couch, it seemed someone had put it there, or maybe Gael himself… that did not matter, she needed to find that phone and see who was so eager to talk to her.

Once her phone was in her grasp, Lise could see a number she was very familiar with. She didn't save his name, but she remembered his number by heart, because that was the only place that was safe for Lise to remember him.

”Lise?”

His voice sent shivers down her spine, as she could feel her tears falling on her cheeks again.

”Lise, are you okay?” he asked, with concern evident in his voice. ”I know you are not, tell me where you are, I will come to pick you up.”

Lise didn't speak, she gritted her teeth, feeling the pain rushing through her veins once again.

”I am worried about you, where are you? Please, tell me where you are, I need to see you.”

Lise couldn't tell him where she was and reveal that Sol even existed, or else, Gael would hunt him down and do what he had done to the two men from last night. He was not human, in literal sense. He was a devil…

She shouldn't have picked up this phone call. She must have ignored this, but she missed his voice and the way he worried about her… It was so comforting to know that someone was genuinely worried about you, that he would never hurt you the way the other person had destroyed you.
