Chapter 203 - Two Hundred And Three: Put A Bullet In His Head (2/2)

”I don't understand,” Emily was puzzled.

”I'm sure you've noticed the strange traditions in our family but the truth is that we're a private security company with the license to manufacture, possess and transfer firearms, parts, and components and you should know the risk that comes with such business. And this fella here…”

He gestured to Judy and continued,” Belongs to a department of guards whose responsibility is to die in our place in a dire situation and to do and cover up our dirty works”

Emily was stunned, ”Is that true?”

Judy's eyes met hers, ”Your father is right,” he admitted, taking his eyes off her with his head lowered.

”Still, that doesn't make him any lesser than a human. He did that to survive and we were the ones who encumbered him with such illicit tasks,” Emily defended Judy which made tears threaten to spill down his face.

This was the first time someone had not judged his kind of work but rather stood for him sincerely. His heart felt so light and fulfilled.

”What charm has this boy used over you?” Adam was flabbergasted. This Emily he was seeing was not his once obedient daughter.

”Father, it's not a charm. I love him and he loves me too- we love each other. And I believe you'd understand what I'm feeling since you once had this wonderful experience with mom before she left us,” Emily tried to persuade him.

Adam's eyes flashed, ”How dare you compare what I had with your mother with this childish, outrageous infatuation of yours!”

” Father-”

”Get prepared, you're getting married to Ahmed. Your days of frolicking is over,” He announced.

”What?” Emily felt as if a second slap was landed on her cheeks

”You can't be serious! I'm not getting married - ”

She was still saying when her father himself focused a gun on Judy's temple from that distance.

”W-what are you doing, father?” She gulped, fear evident in her eyes.

”You would marry governor Ahmed or I will put a bullet in his head” his tone was firm.

”No, you don't mean it, father!” She refused to believe that her father would murder the man she loves.

”I mean every word,” Adam said, cocking his gun.

”Please don't do this father,”

”You have until five counts to make your decision....one..”

”Emily, don't do it. You deserve your freedom” Judy said.

”Shut up you bastard!” She howled at him out of frustration.

”Two ….three ”

”Father, we can settle this ”

”Four ….”

”Emily, don't do it”

”Five...”

”Fine, I'll marry him!” She shouted before her father could pull the trigger.

”I'll marry him, just leave Judy out of this, okay” Emily finally buckled under pressure.

”Take him out,” Adam motioned his men with his gun.

”Wait, where are you taking him, I already promised to marry Ahmed” Emily panicked.

”I'm sending him abroad where he won't be a nuisance to your marriage” Adam responded with no ounce of emotion.

Emily at once ran to Judy and kissed him hard and long before they were finally separated.

”I'm going to come back for you, promise me that you'd hold on and wait for me!” He shouted after her as he was being led away.

”I will!” Emily promised him, crying more bitterly than she had earlier.

A bag was placed over Judy's head before he was dumped into a car amid his vigorous struggle with his hands bound backward.

They drove for hours until they reached their destination and Judy was dragged to God knows where and was forced to his knees before the bag was pulled off his head.

His blurry sight finally adjusted to his environment, it was night and he was currently in a shipping port.

”You're going to kill me, aren't you?” He laughed bitterly.

”I'm sorry pal, but we got to follow orders,” One of the men apologized and focused his gun to fire.

But gunshots from nowhere rained down on all five of them when he closed his eyes, awaiting his death while muttering an apology to Emily- he wouldn't be able to come back for her.

”Who are you?” Judy asked, scared when several men in dark dark articles of clothing emerged out of nowhere.

”We are sorry for coming late my prince” One of the men who moved to untie his hands said.

”What?!” Judy was confused, what the hell was going on?

”All enemies have been vanquished, it's safe to return home now, my prince”

Someone should pinch him.
