Chapter 10: Ambushed

CHAPTER 10

Subtitle: AMBUSHED.

(Loving you wasn't part of the deal)

At Home....

Lillian had just finished freshening up after what happened earlier, she scoffed angrily and she paced around the room.

'That bastard, he had the guts to side with someone else in my presence.' She thought. 'He's trying to bite off more than he can chew'. She scoffed.

"Milo! Milo!." She yelled and she took her phone, then she marched downstairs .

Milo heard her but he decided to ignore her, afterall he's already used to her nagging.

She got downstairs and she met Milo laying on the couch.

"So you're here, do you think I'm done with you yet? After embarrassing me in public, you think I'll let it slide?"Lillian stated.

"What!." Milo said, she was literally the one who insulted and embarrassed him, now she's pinning the blame on him? Shocking.

"Or perhaps you're attracted to the waitress, that's why you choose to defend her." Lillian yelled.

Milo just couldn't believe his ears, did she just say he's attracted to a waitress he knows nothing about? Why does she find reasons to always torment him?

"Lillian, I only did what I thought was right." Milo said calmly.

He stood up to leave, but Lillian suddenly yelled.

"Don't you dare move an inch!"

Milo sighed and he stood back.

"You're okay now?" He asked.

"Sit down!" She commanded .

"Lillian I..."

"Sit down Milo,we need to talk." She interrupted and Milo slowly sat down.

"What's it Lillian?" Milo asked.

Lillian wanted to reply to him, but her phone suddenly rang. It was a video call from her Dad.

She happily picked the call.

"Good evening Dad." She greeted, the minute her Dad's face came into view.

"How're you princess?" Henry asked.

"I'm fine Dad."

"I just called to check on you, is Milo there with you?" Henry asked.

"Yes of course." She replied and she went and sat on Milo's laps, she knew Milo wouldn't react because her Dad's watching them.

"Good evening sir." Milo greeted him. He held Lillian's waist, trying to stylishly push her off him.

Lillian resisted, instead she rocked her waist on his lap,savouring the moment.

"Milo, I hope you're doing everything my daughter's asked of you? Because if I find out you aren't, you won't be the only one involved, your parents also." Henry threatened. Lillian laughed.

Lillian held Milo's face and she kissed his lips. "See Dad, he's a good boy." She laughed and her Dad frowned.

Milo felt like hitting her, the minute her lips touched his, he clenched and unclenched his fists, funny enough, he couldn' t do anything.

"You shouldn't be doing this in my presence." Henry stated.

"Come on Dad, Milo is my husband." She said and she slowly kissed his lips, she tried pushing her tongue in, but Milo refused to parting his lips.

She smiled and she slowly broke the kiss, at last she tasted his sweet lips.

"I can't stand this!" Henry said and he ended the call.

"Get away from me!." Milo pushed Lillian away instantly, but Lillian laughed maniacally.

She stood up and she continued laughing as she left, at least she did what she has always wanted.

Milo immediately used his palm to wipe his lips, feeling disgusted.

"Let me go brush my teeth and wipe my lips clean." He said, then he raced upstairs to their bedroom.

Night time.. .

Mr Herewith was just returning from work, a smile crept up his lips when he remembered he and his colleagues plan to do away with Henry.

'He thinks he's so mighty now and can treat us all like dirt, we'll be sure to teach him a lesson.' Herewith thought.

"Drive faster, I need to get home quickly, I'm so exhausted right now." He said to his driver.

"Yes sir." His driver replied, then he increased his speed.

A car suddenly sped by, and came to stop in front of them, blocking their way.

His driver was quick to step on the break, otherwise he would have run into the other car.

"What the fuck!" Herewith yelled furiously.

"Who the hell drives on the highway like a mad man." He said.

His driver was also surprised and scared.

A man clothed in an all black outfit came out of the other car, and he slowly approached them.

The driver thought he was coming to apologize to them, but that thought vanished when he saw the man pointing a gun at him from afar.

He screamed as the man fired a bullet at him, the bullet went through the glass and right into his head, killing him instantly.

Herewith wet his pants in fear, seeing what had just transpired, he hastily opened the car door, he got down , then he began running.

He didn't get too far when he felt something hit his leg, he fell to the floor with a loud scream, he had just been shot by the man in black.

Herewith turned to stare at the man, he had a mask on, so he couldn't see his face.

"Please, spare me." He cried. And the man gave a dark chuckle.

"That's not even in my dictionary." That man said.

He punched Herewith and he immediately fell unconscious.

Herewith woke, and saw himself tied to a pole, he struggled to free himself, but it was useless, whoever tied him up, made sure it was impossible for the rope to come undone.

He tried getting up since he was sitting on the floor , but he felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he sat down back.

He took a good look at the environment, this place looked like a field, and there was no one there.

"Somebody help me." Herewith screamed in fear .

He was getting the feeling that he might actually lose his life today, and this made him so scared, he had no idea who was behind this, who would do this to him? Who would want to kill him?

"Hel... " He was about to scream when he saw two figures approaching him from afar.

He dimmed his eyes, trying to get a good look at the person, but he still couldn't see them clearly since it was dark.

"Look who we have here." One of the men said, and the voice sounded so familiar.

"H-Henry." He stuttered.

"Yes Herewith, it's me." Henry said.

They finally got to where he was tied up.

"Why Henry? Why are you doing this? What have I done to you? This isn' t right Henry, please let me go." Herewith cried.

"You should know by now that it's too late to beg Herewith, do you think I wouldn't find out about your conspiracy?" Henry laughed.

"W-what do you mean?" Herewith asked fearfully.

"Quit trying to play dumb with me Herewith, that wont work on me."

"Do you think I don't know that you and some others at the company are trying to take my position away from you, you've been conspiring to bring me down."

"Please, Henry, I beg you, have mercy on me." Herewith cried.

"It's too late to beg, your death will serve as a lesson to the others, and soon, I'll get back at them, I'll make sure they share the same fate as you." Henry smiled wickedly.

"No no no no, please Henry, please." Herewith kept on screaming in tears.

Henry immediately collected the gun from Draco, he pointed it at Herewith's head, and with an evil smirk on his face, he pulled the trigger , killing him.

"Fool." He spat.

"You know what to do."

"Yes sir."Draco replied with a bow.

Henry took one last look at Herewith before leaving.

Draco stayed behind to clean up his mess, just like always.

Henry wasn't kidding when he said he'll get back for the rest of them, even if not now, he'll definitely carry out his promise.
