Chapter 5

Julie immediately turned back to where Trevor was; her eyes flashed when she didn't see him on the seat again. Fear gripped her heart tight. She stood at once from the long stool she was seated on. "What in the world have you done to him? Where is he? I'll kill you if anything happens to him."

Jotham wasn't moved by her shouts and threats. Instead, he was angered and hurt that she cared this much for another man. 

"I asked where he is?" She screamed, her voice echoing in her chest. 

"You won't get the answer you seek by shouting at me." He spoke gently. 

This angered Julie even more. She immediately left his presence and ran outside, hoping to see Trevor somewhere. Not seeing him, she barged into the male toilets but still didn't see him there. 

"Has he been kidnapped by this psycho?" Her heartbeat had increased so much that it had caused her high blood pressure. She was almost losing her feet while searching vigorously for Trevor when someone suddenly caught her from falling. 

Seeing the strange face, she said weakly, "Thank you, sir."

She managed to stand, but she was too weak so the man helped her from falling by putting his hand on her waist, "Miss. Shall I help you home?"

"No, no, I'll be fine." She spoke weakly. She escaped the man's grip and began to walk but lost balance again. 

"Okay, miss. I'm sorry but I must help you. You clearly do not have the strength." Before she could even reply, the man carried her in a bridal style and began to carry her out. 

He had just stepped out of the long hallway and had now appeared in the main hall. Jotham suddenly sighted her in the man's hands. He had sat all these while in the same place waiting for Julie to come back to him after her fruitless search for Trevor. 

Jotham became enraged, making his jaw and fist clenched hard. He walked swiftly to the scene, each of his steps, giant and heavy. 

He punched the man in the cheek out of anger. The man lost balance, and Julie almost fell, but Jotham was quick to help her. 

He pulled Julie into his arms and asked the man angrily, "What the fuck are you doing with her? Trying to rape her, huh?"

"What!" The man was sincerely trying to help.

Jotham put Julie on the chair gently, the thought of the fact that the man was trying to take advantage of her was making him mad. 

He punched the man again and again, all his teeth flying out in the process. "Trying to take advantage of my woman, huh?"

He didn't even allow the man to speak. No one in the bar tried to interfere for they knew not to get into the business of the most powerful man in the city. 

"Let him be? Let go!" Julie managed to summon the little strength she had left and yelled. While she attempted to stand, she passed out. 

Whereas, Jotham turned deaf ears and kept punching the man again and again. It took Murray, who was just stepping out of the men's toilet, to take him away from the badly injured man. 

"He's trying to fucking rape her! "He yelled. 

Murray sighed. He looked at the man who had been beaten blue-black on the floor. His face had become disfigured, and his body had become badly bruised. What's even more scary, his breathing has become faint. 

"Julie had passed out. Will you take her to the hospital, or will you still continue punching this man?" Murray asked. 

Jotham, who was being held tightly by Murray let himself go. He looked at the man on the floor and felt no pity for him. Instead, he actually felt like drawing the little life left of him. He wants to see him dead! 

But right now, taking care of Julie is most important. He immediately carried her away from the scene. 

When Julie became conscious, she looked around and noticed that she was in a hospital. When her eyes met with Jotham, who was seated on one of the couches in the ward, his eyes closed, and his cute face looked stressed. 

The remembrance of what happened last before she passed suddenly came to her. 

"Jotham!" She yelled. Wondering if he actually killed the man who was trying to help her. She will never forgive herself if that man dies. And where's Trevor, she still does not know. 

Jotham opened his beautiful green eyes and then checked his wristwatch, "thank goodness you are awake, Julie. It's been three days since you've passed and I've not left your side since."

"Who cares? Like you didn't cause all these? Where's that man you were punching blue-black? Where's my husband?"

"Dr. T had promised to divorce you. You need to sign the divorce papers, Julie."

"You must be insane. Why will I divorce my husband?"

"Cause I'm the only man who can have you."

"Where's is he? I need to see him."

"Only after you have agreed to sign his divorce papers."

"No. Why are you ruining my happy life, Jotham. Go for your 'Mirabel." Why are you this obsessed with me when you had me in the past for four good years but paid no attention to me."

"I was ignorant then."

"That man you were punching at the bar was only trying to help." 

"No. You were weak and he was trying to take advantage of you. I could see it in his eyes."

"I'll never be yours in this lifetime, Jotham."

"That's not for you to decide, my woman!"

"I'm not your fucken woman, you psycho!" She screamed. 

Jotham was worried her state may worsen since she was just getting better so he stood, "I will just leave you for now. I'll have my driver drive you home. By the way, your kids have been with me in these past three days, and we have been bonding well together."

Julie clenched her fist. She didn't want her twin to get close to this man at all, even though he was their biological father. But now, the kids had choicelessly spent three days with him. 

Julie didn't know whether to break down and cry or get a gun and shoot this psycho in the head. 

He was almost stepping out when she suddenly took the pillows on her bed and threw them at him. She picked other objects too and began to throw them at him out of frustration, "Leave my life alone, you psycho. Stay far away from my family."

Jotham didn't even bother to dodge the objects, one of the objects had hit the soft flesh on his cheek and had pierced it, blood streaming out. 

Although Julie panicked at this sight, she tried not to express it. He deserves it! She mumbled to herself, now seated and a little bit calm. 

Jotham touched the blood streaming out of his cheek and looked at it. "You want me dead?"

"Badly!" She answered. 

"Since you are returning home this night, I'll bring your kids this same night. Perhaps, I could spend the night in your place."

"Then I'll be able to strangle you to death in your sleep."

"It will be an honorable death, my woman. Please rest." After saying this, he walked out of the ward but with his hand around the injured side of his cheek. 

Julie broke down, her chin resting on her two hands even as tears ran down her cheek. It's as if her life is turning upside down right before her eyes and there was nothing she could do about it. She just wanted this man to leave her the fuck alone, but it seemed he would never!
