Chapter 53: No one touches her!

Vincent

What the f*ck?! I groaned as I turned over. My head was pounding so hard that turning alone increased it.

I opened my eyes to see myself in my room, it was bright outside, already noon. I muttered a string of thanks as it was Saturday, it's not like I'm running late for the office or anything.

Standing up, I realized that I didn't come into the room by myself, the last thing I remembered was getting out of the club, then seeing Michelle, with Liam.

I paused on the spot as I tried to recollect everything that happened after that. I remember Michelle waking me up to tell her the direction to my house which means she drove me home.

Then getting out of the car when she drove us home only for me to get out of the car and feel really dizzy. That was all I could remember after blacking out on… Michelle?

I got into the bathroom to get my teeth brushed as my mouth reeked of alcohol, my entire form reeked of alcohol but I can't take a bath now, I'm really hungover and needs some pain relief before anything.

“What the heck, Rex?" I hissed as the first person I saw was my security guard. He was directly outside my room and looked like he was about to knock.

“I'm sorry for scaring you, boss. I wanted to check if you were awake to know if I'd call the cops on her." He said.

“Call tbe cops on who? And why did you want to check up on me?" I frowned.

“The lady that brought you home, she came home with you passed out and I knew she was the cause.”

"What exactly are you talking about, Rex?”
The person who brought me home was Michelle, and I know damn well that he wouldn't want to call the cops on her, or was he planning to?

"I've not seen her here before but she suddenly came home with you, something was fishy."

“Are you talking about Michelle, Liam?" I asked, hoping he'd just say otherwise.

“I think so, yes. She said that's her name. Do you know her?"
My hand was already around his throat before he could proceed, his face was ashen with his eyes wide in shock as jis legs left the floor.

“Where is she? What did you do to her?" It was as though the hangover I had suddenly disappeared as all i felt was rage like never before.

“She’s downstairs. I had someone watch her, so sh-she wouldn't run off.” He stuttered with so much difficulty.

I dropped him to the floor as I ran all the way downstairs. Michelle was sat on the floor with two men dressed in black. All I saw was more anger as I stormed towards them.

The two men were shocked to see me and one wanted to say something, the words died in his throat as my fist collided with his jaw first.

I did the same thing to the other man before I looked down to see Michelle tied up with ropes on her fist. She was barely breathing and i could only imagine what they've done to her.

“Michelle?" I asked as I tried to shake her awake. She only moaned in pain as I moved her a bit, making me realize that she was in pain.

I untied the rope on her hand before I moved her to the couch while carrying her. I heard footsteps behind me and I looked back to see one of the men trying to escape.

Oh, they have no idea who they're dealing with, if they think they can get away now, they're really wrong. I knocked him down, making him fall on the other one.

They tried to fight back but all the time I've spent in the gym didn't go to waste as u successfully knocked them out.

My phone was still in my pocket, I hurriedly dialed Liam. He picked on the first ring.

“Come to my house now, you can come with cops too, there's a situation." I said immediately he picked up.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming now.” He rushed out the words, having sensed the urgency in my own voice. I hung up and walked back to Michelle who was now muttering something in her unconscious state.

I touched her forehead to see that it was hot, way hotter than a normal temperature and to make matters worse, she was freezing.

I ran into my kitchen while dialing my doctor, I brought out some ice from the ice maker with my phone between my ear and shoulder.

“Hey, Christopher, can you come over to my house as fast as you can?” I asked immediately he picked the call.

“Sure, I'll be there in a sec." He hung up. I knew he was preparing to come already, that's the reason he hung up on me. He's one of the few people I trust the most.

I took off the shitt on me and placed the ice cubes in them as I bent down beside Michelle on the chair. She hissed in her sleep as I pressed the cold cubes on her forehead.

I remembered that she did this to me the other day at the office, I was in and out of consciousness so I knew what was going on.

The door to the house was pushed open, Liam came in with three cops behind him. They came in with Rex who looked so scared. How did they even get him?

“We saw him trying to run away by the gate and we knew he was up to something with the expression on his face.” Liam explained as he walked into the room.

“Take those two on the floor with you, they're all guilty.” I said to the cops with my attention back to Michelle.

I took it off to check if she was back to normal, but she was nowhere near that.

For the first time in years, I was scared, scared for someone else.
