Chapter 182 Wrong Deal 1
"How did your meeting with the Black's go love!" Lou walked down the grand stairs to see her little girl sauntering in through the front door. She looked so lost in her thoughts that got her mother worried. Elsa was still too little to go through all this, she knew she was going through a hard time, but a problems not solved if you don't share.
She couldn't bare to see her daughter suffer this much, the emotional pain she was going through was too much for her already. "I... I don't want to get married to him mother, please don't let them do this!" She sobbed into Lou's arms, as she hugged her tightly.
She's tried to be strong on the hope that Liam would get back soon, she wanted him to be proud of her when he gets back, but he was taking much time. And things were getting tougher and out of hands lately. The last meeting they held two months ago, Donovan had vocally threatened her, today he almost hit her. Who knows what he'd do next?
She still couldn't understand how the man changed and turned against her overnight. Now it isn't just him, but also Maisha who's now backing her husband up. Elsa had no one else to turn to except her parents now.
She didn't want to get married and start having children, that's not her dreams but that's what these people want. No make matters worst, Rafael has agreed to marry her now. He knew quite well who she is to him, and he's not disgusted by the fact that he wants to get married to his brother's wife.
"I'll give the companies and Liam's furtune to them, they can have it if they want to, but not me!" That's the only option she had now. "That will not be necessary my love, you're not alone in this, your parents are alive and not dead!"
Lou held her shoulders tenderly to meet her gaze, "No matter how much you see yourself as an adult, you'll always still be my baby. So let mummy and Daddy handle this for you, alright? Elsa nodded at her mother's words.
.
In the outskirt of a city, a pair of blue eyes flew open in the room, and he let out a sigh. He turned his gaze to the Man still in deep sleep without a sign of waking up anytime soon. Antonio has been away for a month now, finding his way to the city after watching the news.
He's kept informat with his wife and daughter, but for some reasons, he's not able to contact anyone back at home. He came here to investigate on the accident he saw on the news himself, he wanted to confirm things himself.
He knew Liam's not a child to fake his death, his enemies must have taken him unaware, but no one takes Mr Black unaware. Since he got here he hasn't seen the man around, not untill he came across a familiar figure.
"Don't stare too much, you'd only hurt your eyes. He won't be waking up anytime soon anyway!" Tiger poured coffee into a mug and handed it to Antonio. It was clear that the man on the bed was fighting for his life, most times he even gets high fever, and then they have to get a physician to check him out.
Though the wounds on his body were healing really fast, Liam has stubbornly refused to wake up. And each time Tiger gets to remind him of his little wife, he sees his hands form a fist, and next comes the fever. But he still won't wake up.
Antonio was happy, that the man is alive. His stubborn daughter was right after all, he had no idea what was going on there, and he wanted to let everyone know Liam was alive before they make any rational decisions. But how is he supposed to leave, when he has no money on him except his card?
The village they were at had no use for cards or the internet which was so frustrating for Antonio. They only dealt with real money, and nothing else. He can't be stucked here, not like this. "I need to find a way from getting out of here, as fast as possible!" He took a sip of his coffee, his eyes still on the man in Coma.
Even in his unconscious state, he still had the stench of power all over him, he still looked like the lord he's always been. "What did that local physician say about his health? Antonio met his gaze.
"You would not be telling anyone about my master. Everyone has to believe he's dead till he recovers fully!" Tiger ordered. "And how long will that take? My daughter is deranged emotionally, she's going through alot and I have a means to heal her wound and you want me not to tell?" Tiger said nothing else, than sipping his coffee.
"How come he's the one in these condition and not you?" Antonio dropped his coffee on the table next to him. This mansion might look old, but it was indeed a master piece, right now he felt like living here forever. It just had this home vibe attached to it, that made him feel so relaxed.
He wanted to understand why Liam was the one in Coma and not his bodyguard that was meant to give his life to save his Boss. Isn't that the way it should be?
"Don't get surprised, this is the place you were saved when you almost died!" Tiger twisted the conversation and Antonio frowned, this man has stayed with Liam too long to learn his tricks on answering questions, they always pick the easy way out to confuse the questioner.
"We thought of parasuit, but surprisingly found none in the jet. We had to jump down at the last minute, and Fell unconscious. I think both pilots are dead now. So let's just say.... I got lucky to recover quickly!" He said coldly, just discovering who tried to kill his boss.
If anything should happen to Liam, Tiger will never let him or them go away with it.
Antonio stayed longer in that city, like an extra month before heading back to his city. On arriving in his mansion that now looked empty and deserted, he wondered where everyone must have gone to. There was no butler, no maid, nothing. And his furnitures were scattered around with stains of blood all over.
This was like a nightmare to him, he bacame anxious suddenly, "Honey..... Elsa!" He climbed the grand stairs in search of them. The condition of his mansion was not welcoming, he didn't like what he was seeing right now, this was not good.
With hurried steps Antonio got to the last floor and searched the rooms, but they seemed all dirty and dusty. Where is his wife and daughter? What has happened to them?
He was meant to be here a month earlier, but could not just see himself coming back until now. He strode outside the mansion to see his cars and everything still in place. Antonio's head spinned he was confused at what had happened here.
He left his family here soundly to the next city, only to get back now to this? What was really going on?

EARLIER,
"I'm not going to get married to you Rafael, you can have Liam's money if you want, I don't care!" Rafael smiled at her rejection. He knew she still loved his brother, but it isn't going to be hard to turn her heart against Liam, especially now he's dead. His father was right, she really is a special one.
He liked her, the way she talks and acts around him. Now he could clearly see what his stupid brother had seen in her, but why didn't Liam touch her? "Who told you I need the money, I have money on my own Elsa..... It's you I want!" Rafael smiled, the kind that sent chills to her body.
Why would he want her? "You should be ashamed of yourself for ev......" Her words were cut short by the sudden pull as her body clashed against his. Raf stared down at the little cute thing, shock was evident in her wide eyes, "It seems that dead man thought you nothing about respect". He said coldly.
"What punishment should I be giving to you tonight, hmm!" Elsa's heart skipped the moment she heard punishment. She didn't want this disgusting man to punish her, she rather die than let him touch her. She was scared, her body was vibrating as Raf grabbed her by the hands to.......
Where was he taking her to?
"No... Please don't do this?" He pushed her into his room closing the door behind him. Elsa landed on his bed harshly as she watched him unbotton his clothes quickly. She cried. Where's Liam when she needs him the most? He should be here to protect her right?
"Her body shook out of fear, at this moment she regretted coming to his mansion in the first place. Her mother had told her she would handle it, but Elsa wanted to speak to Raf personally, and now look what she's gotten herself into.
Raf grabbed the little thing that tried to escape from him and pinned her both hands on the bed. There was no harm in tasting a piece of her, as she was going to be his wife anyway.
