"Did this man log into this hotel?"lious asked as he showed kennedy picture to the receptionist.

"I don't know sir,"the receptionist replied.

"Tell me the truth now,I want the list of all the people that log in to this hotel this morning,"lious yelled making the receptionist flinch in fear.

"I can't tell you about our guest,"the receptionist replied.

"Do you know who iam?"lious yelled.

The manager of the hotel arrived immediately because one of the staff went to call him.

"Mr Maxwell,"the manager called out immediately he arrived at the scene.

"Are you the manager of the company?"lious yelled.

"Yes iam,"the manager replied.

"What the hell?"kennedy yelled as he stared at lious shockingly then he stood up from Ella's body.

"How dare you?"lious yelled and punch kennedy in the face making him fall flat on the floor.

Kennedy stood up immediately and throw a punch at lious but lious dodge it and gave him a punch instead instantly his nose bleed. Lious continue throwing him punch angrily.

"You dare touch my Ella,am going to teach you a lesson you bastard,"lious said and continue throwing him punch.

" Sh*t" Lia cursed, flinging the wine glass

"I was so confident about this mission, how did Lious manage to find her?" Flourence said

"Blame Kennedy for not being fast about it, she keeps escaping all our plans... I know what to do now" Lia replied with a blank expression

"Which is?"

"I'll have to get rid of her..... Erase her from existence, I can't stand her being alive anymore" Lia answered

"Isn't that too extreme? We can just adopt another plan and be sure it doesn't fail this time around"

"I'm getting impatient, I can't wait to have Lious all to myself... He's all mine right from start" Lia smirked, getting her phone

She dialed a number

"Trail her and at the perfect time you strike, I want her dead, leaving no traces" She said into the phone

"Consider it done, ma'am"The receiver said before hanging up

" This calls for celebration" Florence said pouring wine into a glass

They clicked their glasses together

THE NEXT DAY

KENNEDY'S HOUSE**

The door flung open, revealing Lious who had an angry look on

"What!!? How..did...." Kennedy stuttered

"I'm Lious Maxwell, I have my ways..... I'll go straight to the point without beating round the bush" Lious replied, advancing closer to him

"What.. are..

Lious didn't even let him conclude before serving him a punch on his jaw, making him bleed

" You b*stard" He cursed, kicking him on his belly

"Argh" Kennedy groaned, holding his stomach

"Spare me please" He added weakly

"Peoples like you don't deserve to be spared.... you've hurt her enough and you did this again to her" Lious said angrily

"It wasn't my intention, trust me"

"To hell with your excuse!!" Lious shouted giving him another punch

He pushed him hard making him fall down

"I won't take it lightly with you next time.... Don't appear before her again" He said, squatting to his level

"Be a good boy okay?" Lious patted his hair, before leaving

**LIOUS APARTMENT**

Ella yawned slightly,opening her eyes only to see Lious staring at her

"You are awake, how are you feeling now?" Lious sprang up, feeling her temperature

"Did anything happen? why am I here?" She queried.

Lious sighed deeply, explaining all to her

"Why is he still after me? what did I do wrong to deserve all this?" She exclaimed

"You don't have to worry, I've taken care of it" He replied with a smile

She leaned closer looking at him lovingly, she pecked him on his lips

"Thank you so much" She cooed, turning him on instantly

He pulled her closer, slamming his lips on hers. He bit her bottom lips slightly making her open up. They kissed madly as if they were derived from it for a long time, their tongue fighting against each other.

He kissed her deeply, pouring out all his emotions in it,he must say that this tastes different from others.

His hands found way to her lap, as he moved upwards, still not breaking the kiss.He sucked her bottom lips like it's candy while delving into her clothes

She suddenly broke the kiss, breathing hard

"We shouldn't be going this" She muttered, swallowing into nothing

"What if I say I love you?" He said suddenly

"Huh?"

"I'm madly in love with you Ella" He confessed...
