Chapter 5: Revenge
Belle’s POV
"I swear it, it was accidental, my company took full responsibility and I was only coming to check..."
I grabbed him by the collar and spur him around to face me, the phone on his hand dropped as he gulped hard, quivering.
He was fretful just the way he and his team made me feel, his breath ceased.
"Where are the others?"
He squint his eyes at me and i slammed his body to a wall close by. I heard his bone make a crack and he whimpered in pain. He was different, the energy wasn't there, neither does he look like someone who could fight.
"Answer me"
He scoffed unbelievably and then pointed his middle finger to my face.
"If my people find you... they'd burn you and your family"
I let out a devious smile. Our eyes searches each other as we exchanged breath, his ragged breath, his confused eyes.
"Okay" i whispered with all my teeth out like a psychopath. The skin on his forehead shrinks and I let out my claws to shred him. He closed his eyes, drawing in a long breath.
"Belle!!" Father's voice interrupted and we both threw our faces to look at him. He looked shocked as his eyes evaluates our environment.
Hastily, he rushed towards me and gently haul me away from Julius. He had even given a bow to him while tossing me aside. My anger was still welling up inside me as Julius adjusted his collar and then cleared his throat.
I snarl at him and he pulled a frown, unable to move where he stood.
"Dad, he is the one..."
I haven't completed my statement when he forced my head to go low, imitating a bow. I shoved father's hand away from me while standing upright.
"You have a tiger for a daughter...general" he coldly asserts, straining his shoulders and wiping the blood stain in his mouth.
"I'm sorry for her behavior, she's..."
"A lunatic who escaped the psychiatric ward" he completed while spatting to the ground and he eyed me while coughing.
Father took a glimpse at me as he held my hand calmly restraining me from moving further or closer to Julius. He kept mocking me and father did nothing about that.
"Dad! He is a part of..."
"She keeps calling me a weird name, look at what your freak daughter caused, is she an animal? Oh my God, none of you would escape my wrath"
Father dragged me to a corner, he looked distressed and sweat had bead his forehead. He is the only one that can keep me in control, at least for now. I was still worth at heart.
Not minding the lives that were lost. Every ouch of him makes me hate him.
"Look at the mess you created and with the president son! We are doomed, I told you to control yourself"
What? He is the president son who no one has seen? Then what he is doing here at this odd hour? Everything sums up to the fact that he is Julius. The very voice that pushes me to do things I can't control.
However, I couldn't tell why I can't make him blow off. Properly because he is a wolf.
I took peek at him and I realized he was supporting himself with wall, his hands were on his waist as he wails.
"I promise you both would rot in jail, get tortured and beaten to death" he cussed as lifting his legs seems difficult.
"Dad, he is a dangerous man, he might look innocent with his act but he is a demon, a wolf, we can't let him go!" I argued wanting to catch hold of Julius but father blocked me.
He pulled me to a corner again and furiously while beckoning on me to keep calm.
"Stop this madness! At this point I'm left with no choice than to lock you up in an asylum!"
"You won't!"
"Of course I will because you just ruined your engagement with his older brother"
I gasped, unable to scream or breath and when I took a peek at Julius, he wasn't there. I broke out of my father's hold and began to race after him.
I found him, close to the exit door which was sleek. He was leaping on a foot and cussing.
"Julius!" I called trying to regain my breath while stomping down the curved stairway that would lead md right to him.
He wasn't listening and I got distracted when some security men were marching in now.
A dozen of them escorted Julius outside and they surrounded me with their guns.
"Surrender for you are surrounded!"
My eyes searched for Julius and there he was, behind the security agent. I noticed something, his face, it glisten with a grin that makes me sour.
It is a reminder that I'd never catch him. Of course I will because I must marry his brother.
My father had reached to me and they seem to accord him respect. He glanced at me and I moved to hide behind at him. The chief in charge stepped forward, his eyes evaluates me and I tried not to maintain eye contact.
Some men had ran behind us to evaluate the place and sickening wave of terror well up in my stomach.
"What happened here? An emergency call came in that someone was attacking the president son"
"She's a survivor, something attacked the medical team" he lied to the chief in control who looked more serious now. I grabbed a fistful of father's shirt while clueing my body to him.
When I escaped hell, I was scared of men, scared of people. Only father was there, always wearing a bunny to make me laugh, he cried with me, he was sober with me and always protected me.
"Ma'am as the survivor, you'd have to follow us for interrogation..."
"She's traumatized and can't speak, don't force her" father interrupted and i threw my arms around his waist.
"Take me home dad, I'm getting nervous"
