Chapter 14: I NEED TO DEAL WITH HIM FIRST

A love like that was a serious illness, an illness from which you’ll never entirely recover.

-Charles Bukowski-

*****************

Today, Gael was exceptionally clingy, he wanted to be with Lise all the time and didn’t want her out of his sight at all. Thus, he made the girl skip her class and picked her up from her university directly before driving to his company.

Gael had a packed schedule for today, but he wanted to see her the second he finished his meeting, therefore, this was what he did.

After all, this was not the first time he had done it and no matter how hard Lise rejected his stupid idea, Gael wouldn’t listen. He just did whatever he liked, disregarding what Lise really wanted.

Lise hated it when he came up with ideas like this, since all she could do was wait for him like a doll and nothing. Most of the time, Lise would read a book or try to get her assignment done, but she was not able to supress her anger toward this man.

People would think she should be grateful that the most wanted and successful young businessman loved her so much that he didn’t want to part with her.

Yet, one should stand in a person’s shoes if they wanted to know what exactly happened. The truth was not always as beautiful and dreamy as it sounded or seen.

She was not loved. She was his obsession. The feeling that Gael had for her was not love, that crazy man was obsessed with controlling her.

Even with every step she took, Lise felt like she would find Gael’s people at every corner, watching her movement to report it back to that man.

It was suffocating and frustrating.

Moreover, Lise didn’t know what made Gael obsessed with her. She was not the most beautiful woman in the world, she was not nice either, but he seemed beguiled with everything she did or said.

And the death of the two men only solidified his craziness.

The two poor men were trying to have a conversation with Lise, but she refused, as she knew that Gael wouldn’t appreciate it, but the two thought she was only Gael’s plaything, and nothing of much value.

Probably they were right about Lise being his plaything, yet they didn’t know how petty Gael could be. He wouldn’t tolerate anyone touching anything he owned.

Both of them overstepped their boundaries and Gael appeared with a gun in his hand. In one second, the two of them were trying to get Lise’s attention, the next second they were dead with gaping holes in their foreheads, as blood oozed out.

“You must be scared of what they have done to you... I should have made their deaths more painful,” Gael coaxed Lise to stop crying, but he was not aware that he was the reason she was crying.

Lise was scared. “I want to go home...” she said between her tears.

They were in an exclusive pub where Gael had a meeting with the two men and they started to talk rubbish to Lise.

“You want to go home?” Gael signaled his men to get rid of the two bodies in front of him and clean up their blood.

The four bulky men did what Gael instructed and left this exclusive room immediately. The sound of heavy music came in when the door opened, but it was reduced to a faint background music after they closed the door.

“We need to wait for my friend for a while before we go, okay baby?” Gael said in a gentle voice, but Lise squirmed, wanting to get down from his lap, yet his arms steadied her. “No, baby, I want you like this. Stay still.”

Gael emphasized his last two words, so Lise knew it was a warning that forced her to stay in that position.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

All of a sudden, a harsh voice echoed inside the room, though Lise knew that she was alone with Gael at the moment, since all of the men had left after getting rid of the dead bodies.

Startled, Lise was about to get off from Gael’s lap, but just like before, he didn’t let her move an inch from him. He kept her still and pushed her face against his chest, so she wouldn’t be able to see the man, who was talking harshly to Gael.

“I just killed two men, I want you to take the blame for that,” he said simply. “You don’t need to come over, you just need to ask Sebastian to do this trivial thing.”

While Gael operated the business under the spotlight, Knox moved his business in the dark. He ruled the underworld business dealing with all the illegal things, whether it was human affairs or any other creatures’ matters, he would move under the shadows.

Both of them spread their influence and pocketed many sources of information to help Chaos. They had done this all for that man, but again, they wouldn’t have been able to reach this position if it was not for Chaos.

Therefore, the relationship between the three of them was quite complicated.

“What?” Knox narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard what Gael said. “You’re asking me to clean up your shit?”

“You are good at it.” Gael smirked at him.

Lise had known that there was something unusual about Gael, but she would have never thought that it would be something like this.

One moment she was still in the exclusive room inside a fancy pub, but the next second, she was in a basketball field with the cold night breeze brushing past her skin. She shuddered and lifted her head, taking in her surroundings.

Gael put her down, letting her discern what actually was happening.

“Why... how?” Lise stammered, she was still in Gael’s arms, standing in the middle of the basketball field.

“I will explain it to you princess, but I need to deal with him first.”
