32 Chapter 32

Steve looked Melinda's taxi stop in front of his office. He suddenly felt a wave of energy through his body.

"You were coming here." He murmured in a sarcastic tone.

"You are mine." He had already won the war in his mind. He parked the car and quickly moved to the elevators. He pressed the button. One elevator was going up while the other was coming down.

"Come on." He was getting impatient. The elevator stopped at the ground floor. After a few seconds it reached Parking. Elevator was empty.

As soon as elevator stopped, he quickly got in and pressed button for 31st floor. His office was on 31st floor. He knew Melinda went to 30th floor. He just wanted to avoid suspicion.

He got off on 31st floor and came on 30th floor by taking emergency stairs. The hall was empty. He quickly arrived at Lisa's office. He tried to open the door. It was unlocked. He smiled. It was proving to be his lucky day.

He opened the door and entered the office. No one was in the hall. He quickly reached Lisa's main office and opened the door.

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS." Melinda jumped out from behind the door. He quickly turned around. He was a bit startled.

"Yo- You? What are you doing here?" Melinda was shocked to see him there.

Steve ignored her question and slapped her hard on her face. Melinda cried and fell on the floor.

"How dare you look at me? You shameless bitch." He snarled.

"You perverted son of a bitch. Did you forget what happened last time when we collided? Melinda was a strong woman. She stood up. She did not lose her senses. Her lip was bleeding.

"How can I forget. I will settle everything with you today." He looked at her like a hungry animal looks at its prey.

"Try me." She felt a little afraid. He did not look human to her.

He charged at her. She tried to punch him, but he grabbed her wrist and slapped her hard.

She fell again. He went ahead and kicked her in the stomach.

She screamed in pain.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lisa got off the elevator and approached her office. She had eaten one doughnut already and other was in her hand. She took a bite and had a sip of her coffee. She reached in front of office. The door was a little open.

"I closed the door." She murmured. She felt uneasy. She looked around for a potential weapon. She left her coffee on side of the door, quickly took the fire extinguisher out of its kit, and opened the door with one hand. She heard scream from her office. Her office was soundproof. She could hear the scream because door was not fully closed.

She could hear sound of struggle and commotion from inside. It looked like two people were having a brawl inside.

She reached closer to the door. She was trembling.

She grabbed the knob of the door and held extinguisher with her right hand. Fire extinguisher was heavy. It was difficult for her to handle it well. In a situation like this she did not even think of getting something else for a weapon or call security for help.

She suddenly heard a loud scream and impulsively opened the door. It took only a glance for her to recognize Melinda. She was crouching and groaning on the floor. Lisa was stunned. Steve took the benefit and kicked her. Lisa screamed and fell out of the door. Fire extinguisher had already fallen.

Steve grabbed Lisa by her hair and dragged her into the room. He closed the door of main office. He did not want any interruptions from outside. Lisa was continuously screaming. Steve pushed her into the center of the room.

"Oh. Hello. It is so good to see you mademoiselle. This day can't get any better." He was being cynical.

"Fuck you." Lisa exclaimed.

"You still have some energy. Old hag." Steve kicked her in the gut. Lisa writhed in pain and lost consciousness. Steve wiped his savage drooling mouth. He turned around to attend to Melinda.

"Ugh." Melinda had hit him with table lamp. He felt a little dizzy and backed off. This saved him from Melinda's second attack. Melinda lost her balance and fell on her face. Steve kicked her in the gut harder.

She howled like an injured dog. She could not get up this time. Steve caught his breath and picked Melinda up and put her in the sofa. She was still conscious but too weak to protest.

"I will show you the time of your life." Steve unzipped his pants.

Melinda tried to resist but no use. Steve leaned over her and unbuttoned her jeans. Melinda bit her lip and closed her eyes. She was too helpless.

Steve was about to kiss her. She could feel his breath in her face. Her heart raced like hell.

"Ahh." Steve screamed and fell over. Melinda opened her eyes. Lisa stood there holding fire extinguisher.

"Lisa." Melinda cried like a child. Lisa helped Melinda get up. Lisa hugged Melinda and they both cried for a while and consoled each other.

"Urgh." Steve was getting conscious. Melinda got up and kicked him in his face.

"You Punk. This is what you get when you Mess with me. She was consumed with hatred and resentment towards him. Lisa joined her. They beat Steve to the pulp.

After beating him to their hearts content they sat on the sofa for some time. Melinda was still staring at Steve.

"Lisa! He is not moving. Is he dead?" Melinda looked concerned.

"Come on. Dogs like him don't die this easily." She looked at him. He was not moving. She got up to check his pulse. He was dead cold. She fell back on the floor.

"He- He is dead." Lisa was shocked.

"What?" Melinda quickly checked his pulse to be sure.

"He is really dead." Melinda looked at Lisa with grim face.

"What should we do? I do not want to go to jail." Melinda started sobbing. She looked afraid.

"Don't worry. We did not kill him intentionally. It was an accident. We were just defending ourselves." Lisa quickly embraced her in her arms and tried to console her.

"Do you really think they will actually believe us after what happened in the past few weeks?" Melinda still was anxious.

Lisa kept quiet. She herself was not very sure.
