"Do something Eric!" Disha screamed when she saw Zack bringing out a small knife.
Even before Eric could make a move, Tom was fast enough to jerk the knife from Zack's hand. He tossed it far away and Disha sighed in relief.
But They were still fighting!
Eric who was trying to regain his sight from the punch he got,staggered out of the car.
He was determined to separate them this time even though his sight wasn't balanced, he didn't even know who gave him that punch between Zack and Tom, all he knew was that he went blind for minutes.
Would Tom do that to him?
No!
Zack should be the one who did but what if it's Tom.
Anyone can do anything when annoyed.
Eric pushed himself so hard between the fighting men and they all fell to the ground.
Zack and Tom stood up almost immediately to continue their fight.
They were both bleeding from the lips, with cuts on their faces. Zack appeared more hurt though.
Eric knew Tom is a very good fighter ,this isn't the first time he would see Tom use his fist, he's just afraid Zack might pass out soon with the way he was panting.
"Stop!" Eric shouted, he was still on the floor.
He couldn't believe Zack and Tom were on their feet already to start another round of fight.
He knew they didn't like each other but is it to this extent?
They were both prepared to give each other more cuts!
"I swear down, if you continue this worthless fight, I'm gonna call Mr Killian and you both know what that means" Eric threatened, getting up slowly.
He wasn't the one fighting but he felt so weak.
His threat made Zack and Tom stop and they both glared at each other, panting heavily.
Disha got out of the car and was glad to see her phone on the floor,not too far from the car.
She had thought Zack had tossed it far away.
She slowly picked it up and realised the front screen is cracked.
She sighed and turned to face the men.
Zack and Tom were still glaring at each other.
To think she caused the fight made her feel so terrible.
Tom got a cut on his cheek and a broken lip just because of her. She felt more terrible.
And to think Zack had brought out a knife to stab Tom...that thought made her shudder
He would have stabbed Tom if Tom wasn't fast enough.
This man is truly dangerous like she thought.
Tom had a pistol in his pocket but he didn't even attempt to bring it out during the fight.
"Both of you should just stop glaring at each other and get into the car" Eric said sternly and they both refused to move.
"Well... Mr Killian shouldn't be that difficult to call" Eric said aloud, bringing out his phone from the front pocket.
They all knew the penalty of fight is a sack letter! And no one taught the both of them to get into the car.
**
"Tom, I'm so sorr.." Disha was saying.
"No ..it's fine" Tom cut her short.
Eric was driving them to the hospital and the car had been in total silence until Disha spoke up.
"You don't have to feel it's your fault, I've been waiting so long for the day I'll finally get to punch his damn face!" Tom said , obviously still angry.
"Ohh" Disha said, she was surprised Zack could be this mute.
She had expected a heated reply from him immediately Tom spoke but she hadn't gotten any.
Should she say the fight took a toll on him?
She giggled silently to herself.
Finally!
But she was so worried Tom sustained some cuts.
She knows It's gonna hurt when it's been treated .
"We're not going to Mr Killian personal hospital" Eric said.
"Why?" Disha asked.
"Doc Fern is gonna blow the cover and Tom and Zack is gonna leave!" Eric said.
"What?" Disha asked,confused.
"They both know the penalty for fight is a sack letter each!" Eric said.
"Whoa!" Disha exclaimed.
*
"Sorry" Disha kept mumbling as Tom's cuts were being treated.
Zack's was being treated too and he glared at her as antiseptic was being applied on his cuts.
He has been sending glares her way and she isn't gonna take it any longer!
She glared back at him and hissed as she turned back to Tom.
Zack was surprised by her sudden retaliation but he didn't show it.
"You both should better know the excuse to give Mr Killian concerning your faces and get ready to pay the bills" Eric said,not so nicely.
"Look...i know you're angry or probably disappointed but.." Tom was saying.
"You disappointed me buddy!" Eric cut him short.
"He punched me first!" Tom defended.
"Whatever!" Eric shrugged.
"I can't just sit back and watch him punch me Eric, you know that and I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I never intended to fight" Tom said.
"It's fine buddy, i understand you " Eric said, and patted his back.
Disha was glad,she knew Eric was pissed at Tom and now they just settled it.
"I hope the cuts doesn't hurt so much?" She asked.
"No" Tom smiled .
"I'm sure these little cuts means nothing to Tom, if he goes shirtless you'd see that he had gone through things worst than this"
"He has scars?" Disha asked.
"So many" Eric said and Disha shook her head sadly.
No wonder he hadn't even winced when antiseptic was being applied on the cuts..
She had wondered what sort of being he was...

Aiden Greenwood building

"What are you doing?" Aiden asked walking into the room.
"Watching more seduction tips" Diane said not glancing up from her laptop.
She was bent on trying the second time.
She felt she hadn't prepared so well and that was why Killian had resisted her! She knows he wouldn't even dare resist after trying out these ones she just watched.
She should have just done this the first time.
"Ohh..i forgot you're planning to try again" Aiden said.
"Yeah" Diane murmured.
"Have you ordered the dress you're gonna wear to tomorrow's dinner party? You know we have to look best" Aiden said.
"Ohh...yeah! I will do that once I'm done. You got your tuxedo already?" Diane asked.
"Of course and i just ordered the most expensive shoes in ' Tanya's fashion store' " Aiden smiled.
Tanya fashion store is the top one in the city, and it's well known that only the rich can afford it.
To top it all, Tanya is Diane's friend and she's gonna be attending the dinner party with her fiance too.
"Wow! No doubt we'll be the best looking couple in that Dinner party" Diane chuckled.
"Ofcourse, we are always looking the best in every party" Aiden said.
"Of course" Diane said.
She grinned when she saw Marie's incoming call.
"Marie's calling, i guess the plan worked out" She said to Aiden before picking up the call.
"Hey Marie"
"Hi Mrs Diane" Marie said from the other end.
"I know the plan worked out, she has broken her bones right? Which one? Her spinal cord?" Diane laughed.
"Well ..." Marie drawled.
"What?" Diane asked.
"The plan didn't work out" She finally dropped the bomb.
"What!" Diane exclaimed. "Didn't you do everything as planned?"
"Mr Killian saved her!" Marie said.
What...the" Diane groaned.
"I need to return to the house before Summer get back from school" Disha said to her Mum who told her to wait till Lucien is back.
He would have loved to see her..
"Ohh...that's true. You'll need to be there before the little girl's back so you can take care of her" Mrs Smith said. She was so glad when Disha told her how much Summer appreciated the sweater.
"I spent enough time with you right?" Disha said.
"Of course" Mrs Smith smiled.
Disha had cooked,washed the dishes and cleaned the house during the few hours she's been here.
Lucien would be so happy when he's back, he was always frowning about doing house chores.
"Are you sure the dress and the shoes are beautiful?" Disha asked her Mum for the fifth time.
She doesn't want to disappoint Killian.
"Of course Disha. That red dinner gown is the most beautiful I've ever seen and the shoes are just too great. Don't feel less about it cause you made it. It's beautiful and if it was on sale,it would be sold out in minutes." Mrs Smith said and Disha beamed like a jolly panda.
"Thanks Mum" she said and grabbed the paper bag that contained the dress and shoes..
"You should tell Lucien i made lunch already, he just needs to microwave it and dish it out when he's back" Disha said.
"Ohh, you're leaving now" Mrs Smith said.
She has been enjoying Disha's company all along, she was so bored and Disha had surprised her by her sudden show-up.
"Yes Mum" Disha pecked her on both cheeks.
"Okay, before you leave,get me my jewelry box from the wardrobe"
"Okay mum" Disha said and she quickly fetched the box.
She opened it in front of her Mum and watched her hands roam the box, definitely searching for something.
She wondered what she was looking for.
A grin appeared on Mrs Smith face as she finally found her tiny diamond necklace.
"Wow!" Disha exclaimed.
Next night
Killian stood in the living room all dressed up for the dinner party, he was obviously waiting for Disha who was yet to join him.
He sighed nervously, not that he cares about how she'll look tonight but he's starting to get worried he hadn't ordered a dress for her.
Though she had said he shouldn't worry about the dress but this isn't just any dinner party.
He won't want the other women at the party to mock her wear.
He breathed out...why was he having this thought in the very last minute.
He heard the click of heels on the stairs and his heartbeat accelerated.
He quickly stared down at his feet.
Damn it!
Why's he being so nervous?
"Com'on Killian!" He said to himself reassuringly and that gave him some courage.
He glanced up and the moment he did,the sight before him took his breath away .
He glanced up and the moment he did,the sight before him took his breath away .
Disha.
She was dazzling in a beautiful red dinner gown, simple yet with a touch of splendour that only few couturiers in the world can achieve.
He could see why she was being boastful over her wear, this dress is so lovely, it also has a well embroided v-neck that exposed the swell of her creamy looking breasts.
He knew if this sort of dress were to be on sale, it'll be sold out in minutes, he doubt if this sort of wear is even in the top one fashion store in the city.
A thin necklace with a diamond necklace laid on her neck elegantly.
She carried a plain black little purse and also wore black heels.
Killian's gaze trailed back to her face.
He has never seen her apply makeup and seeing it on her face now almost made him drool on the spot.
Her face is the most attractive part of her body, the make up was so simple but elegant ,he loved how her small lips shone with lip gloss.
Her hair was packed in a beautiful bun with curly tendrils framing her face, her natural long lashes flipped as she blinked her eyes nervously.
He felt his heartbeat increase merely staring at her.
"Damn!" He cursed when he realized he has been staring for too long and too hard.
"You look..." He paused and sighed.
"I..is the dress not good enough?" Disha asked nervously wishing she hadn't boasted that much but her mum had said the dress was good and she also knew it was good.
"Was it her make up?" She thought, her cheeks flushed already.
She swallowed hard, knowing she really tried hard to impress him.
"No! Your dress is actually the most beautiful I've ever seen" Killian said and her face lit up immediately.
"Thank you" She smiled.
"And you look dashing, I'm surprised you could look this way. I'm sorry i mean no insult but...I'm just so surprised" Killian said.
"I thought you were not satisfied with my look with the way you stared so hard at me" Disha said.
"Your look rendered me that way" Killian said, making Disha's cheeks go red, her cheeks was almost the same colour with her dress and she tried to prevent herself from grinning hard.
She was so happy he's satisfied with her look.
Her boasting hadn't been in vain after all.
"You look good too" Disha said.
"Good!!?" Disha screamed inwardly.
'God' did no justice to Killian's look and she knew it.
