Two: I've crippled you

Two: I've crippled you

The two of them looked at each other. The fire oozing from each of their eyes would be more than enough to make a volcano.

Monalissa clutched the sheets tightly. What was he doing here?! Has he come to kill her? No. She wouldn't let him have his way. She wouldn't let him kill her again. He did once but there was no second chance. She saw him smirk at her which made her blood boil. Laugh while you can. Once I'm able to stand, I'll make you pay. My home!

[Flashback]

The memories flooded her mind. That night, under that heavy downpour, when she arrived to her home, it was already in ruins. The corpses of her people were littered everywhere. She ran to the woman that they all called mother. However, she was subdued and was already at death's door. A dagger was stuck in her chest as blood flowed from her mouth.

"Mother!" She had screamed.

"Mona, run. Hurry. Run for it. Save yourself. Survive and avenge us. Avenge your family's death".

The woman pushed her out of the door and a wave of daggers flew to her body and magneted on her body. Monalissa could only watch in horror. She couldn't take it. She clutched her head shaking it frantically as she muttered the word 'stop'.

Before she knew it, she was surrounded. Her fighting spirit was ignited and she attacked. She was as merciless as she could ever be. She killed all of them with the anger and resentment in her heart. Another batch of the men came again and she killed them.

This was her territory. She wasn't going to let them take the glory. However, the devil himself appeared.

[Back to the present]

Tears brimmed her eyes at the memories but she bit down on her lips to avoid whimpering. Ezekiel looked at Kim and signalled him to leave.

It was just the both of them in the room. He held the rails of the bed. His face was filled with hatred for her. He hated her so much that if not for the plan that he had already mapped out, he would have killed her already. He would have killed her a long time ago.

"What do you want?" She asked

Monalissa wasn't even afraid of him. She looked at him straight in the eyes. She saw him smirk. This made Monalissa raise her hand and slap him across the face.

Ezekiel felt his ears buzz.

I thought she has been here for a year. Where did she get such strength?!

He grabbed her hand and pressed it down on the bed. With no effort, he tore open her hospital pajamas shirt exposing her body.

She gasped. Was this man crazy?! She couldn't even move! She was trembling because she was exposed. She had never been treated like this before. How dare he?! She felt a sharp pain on her right nipple. Her gaze went down and she looked at him again. There was no expression whatsoever on his face not even lust. Then what? Why was he messing with her like this?! This was the devil himself but she refused to cry or even whimper. She bit down hard on her lips till she bled.

Ezekiel tightened his grip on her turf but the stubborn woman didn't even scream.

That was so like her, Walker. He hit her acu points immobilizing her. Ezekiel took her other nipple and pinched her hard on it. He saw her grimacing as her mouth was filled with blood.

When he was done, he removed the surgical wires that were connected to her body and yanked her by her hair. He removed them because he got word from the doctor that she was already fine. She just needed to rest a little. But he wasn't going to give her that leisure of resting. He bathed her cheeks with hot series of slaps.

Monalissa could only glare at him. He looked her in the eyes.

"Glare all you want since that's what you would be doing from this moment on".

The tear were threatening to fall and they finally...fell. This happened because she couldn't control her actions as he had immobilized her.

He stood straight and turned. "Walker, I will punish you. You just have to blame yourself for touching my person that day. Everything that happened to you and your home is all your fault. You messed with the wrong person".

At this point, she was already free. "I was following orders. Am I supposed to care about those I kill? I'm an assassin not a nurse. What do you think? Even now, I would still do the same thing if it were now".

Pak! Pak! Pak! Pak!

Slaps upon slaps. Ezekiel slapped her till her cheeks were sore and her mouth was filled with blood. But, she still smirked at him. Ezekiel grabbed her neck and squeezed it hard till she was almost fainting.

"Listen here Walker. You have no one. No one is for you. No family, no friends. Everything is against you. Everyone too. I will make you beg for your death and also, for your information, I've .....*crippled*

you".

Note: The word 'crippled' in the last paragraph means that she was crippled of her martial arts. So, he incapacitated her in that aspect.
