chapter 4

I was still lost in my many thoughts when I drifted off to sleep on the couch in the main lounge. I guess I had been sleeping for hours because I didn't notice when someone walked in. I was awakened by the slam of the door and jerked up from my sleep in fear as I thought the house was about to be robbed.

I had not gotten accustomed to the fact that I was already married and living with someone. And also, if not that I wasn't thinking straight, why would I think a Billionaire's house like Sorin's, was about to be robbed when there were numerous guards in the house.

I began to hear different sounds coming from upstairs and I became more confused. I tip-toed into the store room and found a golf club. I picked it up and started following the sound I was hearing, I was determined to strike but I was shaking at the same time. I mean, what could a frail young woman do to defend herself if situations come to the worst?

As I made my way into the room, I heard a glass shattering on the well-tiled floor which made me shake the more in fear. I stopped in my tracks for a while and summoned courage.

Holding the golf club up in the air, I screamed as I charged towards the room, closing my eyes and swinging the club in the air.

"And what the hell do you think you're doing?" He thundered, holding his head which had been hit by the club in my hands.

The golf club fell off my hands as I looked in shock, with my hands covering my mouth at the sight of what was before me.

I had hit Sorin's head with the club! The impact had now caused a deep wound on his head and he was bleeding.

He swiftly held onto the spot on his head with his hands as he looked at me in horror.

His eyes widened and became as red as thick blood, his brows narrowed as he stood up and began walking towards me while I kept walking backward.

I could see the blood on his head had now started dripping down to his eyes. I kept walking backwards until I was stopped by the wall behind me and I could move no further. As I hit the wall, I felt a strong pain in my left shoulder and I flinched in pain but I paid no attention.

I was focused on the man in front of me, who was looking like he was about to tear me into shreds.

"Are you trying to kill me? It's bad enough that I have to marry you and put up with you and now you're trying to kill me in my own house?"

Tears began to well up in my eyes as I began to speak but the right words just refused to come out of my mouth.

"I'm sorry, I...I thought……" I began to stutter.

"You thought what? You are always thinking! You always do everything wrong!" He continued speaking in anger, his hand still holding his head.

The sound of his angry voice called the attention of the guards in the house and they hurriedly ran to us. They stopped as soon as they got to the door because they knew better than to enter the room without being summoned.

"Boss, are you alright?" Kelvin, Sorin's personal guard and assistant asked with concern in his voice.

Seeing how quiet the room was, he sensed something was wrong and asked again, "Sir, may I come in?"

"You may." Sorin finally responded.

Immediately, Kelvin rushed in and was dumbfounded at what he saw. He immediately knew what had happened, he looked at me in utter disbelief and ran towards Sorin to help him.

"Sir, should I call the doctor? I think there might be a wound already. Should I call the ambulance?" Kelvin kept asking questions but Sorin didn't speak, he only shook his head while I stood there, not knowing what to do or what to say.

"There will be no need for that, I'll be fine. Just get the First Aid box, I will fix it myself." Sorin said to Kelvin and he immediately turned to walk out of the room.

"And Kelvin?" Sorin called out and Kelvin stopped in his tracks. "Please, get her out of here this minute!" Sorin commanded and Kelvin obeyed immediately.

"Ma'am, this way please," Kelvin said to me, gesturing for me to walk out of the room but I was too lost in thoughts that I didn't hear him.

Since I stood like a statue and didn't hear or move, Kelvin turned to look at Sorin, because he didn't want to touch me without permission.

Kelvin had been Sorin's guard since he was much younger. He was the only one Sorin trusted and he was the only one who knew everything about Sorin. Anyone who tried to hurt Sorin would always have Kelvin to contend with because He was loyal to Sorin to death. Although he was a little bit older than Sorin, they were like brothers when they wanted to be and he had sworn to protect him with his life. Even though Sorin always put up an "i-don't-care" attitude, deep down, he would do anything for Kelvin.

Kelvin was smart, muscular, and well-built, he always had a straight face and would never be caught cracking a smile. He always came up with the best solutions whenever Sorin had too much on his plate which was why he was Sorin's most trusted guy.

Although handsome too, his looks were nothing compared to Sorin's. Sorin was perfectly handsome, he was always the talk of the town, every event he attended, he sure would always make a mark. The Head of both male and female would always turn the moment he stepped into the room. He was just perfect!

"Sir?" Kelvin called out to Sorin and he turned to look at him and he, in turn, looked at me.

As Sorin turned towards us, he noticed what Kelvin was calling his attention to. It was me, I was so far in my thoughts, I didn't know what was going on anymore at that moment but tears kept pouring out of my eyes.

"Carry her out, if you need to! Don't just stand there like a fool, Kelvin!" Sorin thundered in anger.

It was like his voice brought me back to life, I felt like a fool, a disgrace, and I felt helpless. At that moment, it felt like my legs could no longer carry the little weight of my little body. I crashed down to the ground in fear and passed out.
