Chapter 5

Making sure that she followed behind Dominic I made my way to this Mason. Getting closer to them I could hear them laughing and talking about Liyana. He was standing with his back facing me and I stopped behind him tapping him on his shoulder. As he turned around I jabbed him in his throat making him fall back.

Two guys came running from behind me, bumping into me, rushing to his side helping back up. The girls just stood there staring at me and I took one step closer to them and they ran away without looking back. They helped him up and he lifted his head up looking at me.

“Let go of me!” He said pushing the two guys away from his side and charged towards me.

He came for me and I didn’t move. He grabbed me by the throat and I head bumped him making his nose bleed. He let go of me and wiped his nose as the blood came out.

“F**king bitch.” One of his friends yelled as he came for me.

He went for a jab but I ducked , slightly sliding to the side I gave a hook to his side making him stumble back clutching his side. Turning my head to the side slightly to look at the other one who just stood there with a scared look on his face. Running towards me I grabbed him by his shoulder and threw myself around him to take him out not wanting to scare the poor guy any  further.

Hitting him with a jab to make him blackout. Well that's one down, two to go. I don't give a fuck about this other dude, the one I want is holding his nose to stop the bleeding. He was either ending up in the hospital tonight or dead tonight, either way I don't give a fuck what happens. 

By this time everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at us. They ended up stepping back and left us in the middle. I just stood there waiting for these two to finish what they were talking about. 

Charging towards them, wanting to get this. Seeing that there was a beam next to the friend I ran towards it and jumped on it throwing myself and gave a jab to the friends face making him stumble back. 

I was in the middle of them and they had this smirk on their face as if they trapped me. Both of them came charging for me. Dodging Mason and his friends' hits at the same time wasn't hard but I did get a few scratches in the face and a few blows to the stomach. Mason grabbed me by my forearms as I stumbled back when he hit me in my sides and I spun myself around as he held onto my hoodie making him fall back as I pulled myself out leaving me in my sports bra.

Spitting out the blood, I stood ready with my fist up as both of them stood in front of me. I was out of breath but wasn't going to give up. The friend came running towards me with a knife suddenly and I ran towards him but slid down through his knees and hit him in his groyne making him fall to his knees. That had to hurt because all I could hear were ooh and aah’s, mostly coming from the men. That will keep him occupied for a while. He just laid there, clutching his groyne groaning. 

Well this was fun now to deal with the one I wanted. This guy Mason didn't have any strength left in him. So he started to stumble away from me as I walked towards him. Grabbing him behind his neck, I threw him across the floor and he slit across the floor hitting the base of the bar.

I leaned over because of the pain in my side but stood back up ignoring it and walked over to him. He just laid there groaning  trying to stand up. Bending over to grab him by his arm, I pulled him into the middle of the club. There he just laid and I kicked him repeatedly in his ribs. Every hit getting harder at one point you could hear his ribs break.

“Get up.” I said in a stern voice pulling him by his shirt.

Stumbling as he stood up he held onto him by his shirt and just started to hit him repeatedly in the face. He stumbled back with every blow and leaned against a pillar. His blood going on my face with every blow. He was barely awake at this point but I kept going. He was unrecognisable at this point because his face was fucked up. Letting go of him, he fell to the floor. My hands were bloody and breathing unevenly. It wasn't enough and I kicked him in his groyne about three times. 

I barely had strength left in me but I had to get to Liyana. Picking up my hoodie, I walked towards the office Dominic went in. Clutching my side as I walked up the steps. A few went back to clubbing ,the other helped the three men who laid unconscious on the floor.

Leaning on the door as I got to the last step because of the pain on my side. I almost fell on my face when the door suddenly opened. I fell into someone's arms and I knew who it was. 

“O my god, Aaliyah!” I heard Liyana yell running over to me who was now leaning on 

Dominic for support.

Liyana started to cry again seeing me like this. All bruised up, with cuts and blood on my face.

“What happened down there?” I heard one of the brothers ask but couldn't see who it was.

“Aaliyah what did you do?” Liyana inquired in a quivering voice walking towards me.

“Uhmmm……is there somewhere I could maybe clean her up.” Liyana asked the other two  brothers, letting me lean on her.

I tried keeping most of my weight off her when we walked towards a door that they pointed at. Walking in Liyan closed the door behind us, placing me on the bed gently.

“Liyana?” I called out to her, leaning over because of the pain on my left side. 

“Yes.” Liyana said walking out of the bathroom finding what she was looking for.

 “How do you know Dominic? I asked, lifting my head slightly, gesturing with my head towards the door. 

“I could ask you the same thing Aaliyah?” Liyana said, kneeling down in front of me.

“They are Miss Elena’s sons.” I said, wincing when she cleaned the cut on my cheek.

“Mr.De Luca is my boss Aaliyah, the one I told you about.” Liyana answered, cleaning the blood from my face.“Liyah can you stand up, so I can see why you are clutching your side like that?” Liyana asked, lifting herself from the floor.

“I should have known they are the same person when I met him this afternoon because I know what you have been talking about these past few months about him having this approachable demeanor. Just being in the same room with him makes you feel out of place. That’s how I felt this afternoon when I met them.” I said, clutching my left side as I stood up. 

“You have a huge bruise Aaliyah, maybe we should go to the hospital just to be sure nothing is broken.” Liyana said,  poking lightly at the bruise examining it. 

“ You know I don't do hospitals but I promise that I will go tomorrow. Neveah is waiting for us at home. We can't go and sit at the hospital, it’s already late.” I explained looking down at Liyan who was still poking at my bruise.

“Fine but can I wrap the bandage around your waist just in case?” Liyan asked, holding the bandage in her hand.

Lifting my arms, to make it easier for Liyana to wrap it around me.

“Done but what do you put on Aaliyah, look at your hoodie it’s torn and has blood on it.” Liyan stated when she was done bandaging me. “Give me a minute.” Liyan said leaving the room.

Where is she going? Two minutes passed and the door opened but it was not Liyana who walked in, it was Dominic. What was he doing here, where’s Liyana? I tried looking out the door into the other side but he shut the door. On instinct I fell down on the bed and sat down , keeping my head down feeling his stares as he just stood there for a few seconds. Looking back up , he was staring into this closet for a while. The hell was he doing just standing there. He reached into the closet and pulled out a white button up shirt. He closed the closet and placed the shirt on the bed.

“Put it on.” He said without any emotion in his voice leaving the room.
