Arthur knew...

When Arthur came back it was already evening.

Arthur came and saw no one, everyone was in their rooms and Arthur went to his room and saw Maria who had the television on but was talking on her phone.

Seeing Him come in Maria smiled and greeted him, he felt relieved seeing her come back to normal.

He greeted her back and went to freshen up and he came out changing into loose wear and sat beside her. 

Her call had ended. Maria was busy watching the show and she said ' It was Aunt Myra, her relatives' health is deteriorating fast, hope they will be fine' but the whole time she was looking at the screen intently.

Arthur smiled and turned to kiss her cheek and he saw it was a bit red…

He saw it, touched it and Maria winced a little in pain...

Arthur frowned and asked ' What happened to your cheek?'

Maria suddenly was stunned, she didn't want him to know it but this man, she turned and said ' What nothing happened?'

Arthur looked at her and asked ' Don't try to fool me, tell me what happened who hit you? That Rachel I will kill her now' saying he got up but Maria held his hand and made him sit…

She got over him sitting on his lap and said ' You don't have to do anything, I answered her already '

Arthur said ' What you did?'

Maria replied ' I also slapped very hard on her face, I even used 50% of my strength. She must be crying in pain' while saying she smiled…

Arthur was happy she at least started to take a stand, but in her innocence, he shook his head and took her delicate little hand in his hand and said ' You okay?'

Maria nodded and said with a smile ' Never been fine'

Arthur said ' If you want I can help you take care of her'

Maria shook her head and said ' It's my fight, I will win this, you don't have to come in girls fight or else she will think I'm weak, which I am not, I am just weak in front of you'

Arthur chuckled and said ' Ya a lioness I know' saying they both laughed…

After some time they went down for dinner,

They saw Olivia was there and also Rachel, they sat down and everyone was silent.

Arthur suddenly said ' Bring some liquid food for Miss Rachel'

Hearing it all 3 were confused and Arthur said ' Due to pain in the cheek it must be hard to chew na'

Hearing it Rachel's face was all black, Maria was holding her laugh and Olivia said ' Arthur'

Arthur said ' Don't worry mom she will be fine, he has a lot of experience with pain'

Again everyone was silent, Rachel's face was all black she then got up and left…

Olivia just shook her head….

On the outskirts,

3 people who were armed were ruffling through the grass and finally saw a scrappy home…

They nodded to each other and the leader put the finger on his lips and made the shhh sound to be silent and they slowly without making noise went towards it….

Inside the house,

2 guys were sleeping not knowing someone was coming close towards them…

The 3 guys came close and they slowly checked how many outlets there were and seeing just 2, a guy was stationed at the back end and 2 went towards the front and knocked heavily…

Hearing the sudden knocks both the guys woke up and looked at each other…

The guy immediately held his bag and said ' They are here, they can't catch me or else they will kill me'

The other guy said ' I will distract them you run away from the back door'

Saying the guy put the bag on his back and opened the back door and he saw a guy standing both looking at each other and the guy was about to shout to call his men but before he could the other guy gave a rod to the guy with bag and said hit him and run or else they will kill you do it….

Hearing it the guy swung the rod hitting the guy on his head and he turned to look and the guy gestured him to run and as he ran away the guy closed the door and went to the front door and opened and asked ' Who the hell are you'

 The 2 guys pointing the guns entered and searched everywhere not seeing he called the other guy but not hearing his replies he went out and saw he was unconscious and was bleeding from head….

They understood it was the guy they wanted, they turned and looked at the guy and said ' Where did he go?'

The guy said ' I don't know he just wanted to live a night here, I don't know him'

They held his collar and took him with them…

The leader said ' He will be caught soon, and when we do I will break his legs so that he can't run away'

The guy ran as fast as he could not knowing that his friend had been taken away…

Hope you enjoyed the chapter guys...
