Chapter 71

Louis watched how he went to the most corner of the cell, the area that was completely covered with darkness when Marquis simply sat himself there, not even saying a single word when to Louis, it literally looked like as if he was a baby who just born yesterday in this world of criminology.

Marquis didn't say a word as he just sat in the corner silently, when the little daddy Dom was feeling so lonely at the moment. He wasn't even willing to run away or delude himself with anything as he only focused on one thing, he had to end this all in a very positively smooth way. He later dug his face in his palms and silently cried in his own space when Louis couldn't see the tears that the criminal's eyes were draining as later that Louis went off to search the best lawyer of the city, to fight the case of Marquis when after minutes that the officer drifted off the area of the cell.

After few minutes, the other burglars and criminals who were present in the other cells near Marquis, started talking or to him, it was more like blabbering when they began bogusing their tongues in the way of the criminal who just got here few minutes ago.

“Hey. Isn't that the one who used to steal the girls?” One of the man snickered across the other cell.

“Yeah. He's the one who heats the bed with sexy girls. Such a damn fun that he had in his young age.” Another one smirked while eyeing the baby daddy who was also being in the same cell along with other three men, when after few minutes two of the men stood up and approached Marquis. “Hey, babyboy.” The man tried touching his face but Marquis simply yet harshly yanked his hand away when he also growled a little afterwards. “Looks like, you had a lot of fun.”

“Dude, he's handsome. Every girl would be around his finger.” The other criminal snorted with a mocking laugh. “Yo daddy! Let us also know few tricks of having those baby girls reach the bed instantly.” All of them laughed so loudly yet jokingly over Marquis who was hardly bearing with them as he doesn't wanted himself to burst upon them like that when at the same time he was fuming with anger.

“Looks like, he won't talk with us. Babyboy ~”

One of the two men who were standing near Marquis, bickered after receiving no word from him as later that he tried to pinch those soft cheeks of Marquis but the next minute, he was unable to utter any other word when all of a sudden Marquis harshly grabbed the same man by the neck and lifted him up in the air when the beast doesn't even cared the age of the man who was actually old to be dead with just a little choking. The death glare that Marquis passed him afterwards, was enough to break through the skull of the other guy when with only those eyes that Marquis ran a wave of daring shrill even in the spines of the guys who were present over there. His grip was dangerously strong around the neck of the old man when for a long while that Marquis held him in the air whereas the fingers of the old guy were scratching through the criminal's hand and the next minute the demon made his nails bury in the neck of the old man who was choking so badly to death. After the other criminals saw his vicious state which literally almost made them pee their pants as the aura that Marquis was vibrating was literally comparable to the fire of hell, when his chest was also slightly pounding with temper ruling him at the moment as he had enough of them. He was trying his best at turning himself positive but these people were simply making it hard for him to do that when they barged their negativity on him and he couldn't bear that. His un-controlled anger was hitting inside himself when he was almost about to take the life of the old man, just by choking him to death when all of a sudden another voice distracted his brain.

“Marquis.”

He slowly calmed down after her beautiful voice hallucinated his mad brain and his fingers gradually loosen the grip around the neck of the old man when the other guy just coughed so badly while also going on his knees as he kept on coughing so badly for few minutes. Without even a word that he later went back to the same spot where he was seated few minutes ago when after what happened just a while ago? No one even dared to bother him again when Marquis just sat quietly at his vary corner. He begun missing her even more after her voice penetrated his mind, as he parted his dry lips and imagined her tinted ones lovingly pressing onto his own when his throat went dry as he was in a dire need of her lips right now, but at a very wrong place. He was literally seeming like a new born baby who wants nourishment from the mother when just like that, Marquis desperately wanted her lips as later that he simply buried his head in his elbows which were resting over his knees.

“Please take care of yourself, Yenail.” His broken vocals muffled in his skin when, while being at a very wrong place that he needed her. His cherry lips went dry along with a lump already owning his throat when he just silently sat there while desperately yet impatiently waiting for this hell to over from both of them soon.

On the other side, Louis was also doing his search for the lawyer when he finally found him, but was unaware from another fact that the lawyer was a greedy one as Louis got stuck with him afterwards.

“Officer Louis Parker. Welcome.” The lawyer greeted the officer with a smug face while being seated like a man with even higher rank than Louis, when after few gossips here and there, Louis discussed the real matter immediately when he told him about fighting the case for Marquis, also along with the bribe. “I'm not accepting fifty thousand dollars for that high wanted criminal. He's a professional one. I'm not fighting his case over these pennies.” The lawyer later rested his legs over the table when with a rude attitude yet petty tone that he stared the officer and simply demanded further ahead. “If you raise up more than that? I'll think about it.”

“Pennies?! Fifty thousand dollars! These looks like pennies to you?” Louis angrily slammed his palms over the table when he gritted his teeth and grunted furthermore, whereas without even a flinch that the lawyer simply scoffed. “You just have to support him. He will do the talking himself.”

Louis was now stuck at this moment where he doesn't had enough money to himself nor that he knew what to do, but suddenly his mind hit with another thought when he remembered about Marquis, allowing him to use his money if something happens.

“Marquis: Use my money if you're stuck somewhere.”

Louis later decided to go for that thing when he sighed and offered the amount which was even higher than the demand that the lawyer was actually predicting.

“How about two million?” All of a sudden Louis said and it surely made the lawyer choke onto his saliva after he heard the amount.

“Tw-Two mi-million?!” The lawyer widened his eyes and hurriedly got agreed over fighting the case for the criminal when he immediately shook hands with Louis. “Of course.”

“Great.” Louis passed him a smile and turned, but stopped when the lawyer called him again.

“Officer. I wasn't expecting that from you. Seems like, you're also earning quite a lot from this profession. I wonder how you have such amount of money to yourself.”

Louis was afraid of this thing and it happened unintentionally when he doesn't wanted this to happen with himself as his reputation has always shone bright among the others, but this criminal just made him dirty for a reason. When after hearing to what that filthy lawyer just barked, Louis wasted no time in halting back towards the man and pierced through his soul, when the officer didn't let himself down like that as he spoke with equal rudeness that the lawyer showed.

“Listen. There's a friend of mine who is drowned in a flood of money that you can never even imagine in your whole life.” The lawyer went shut over the daring words of the officer and later that Louis, left the chamber when he headed out to see another person who was already waiting for him at the hospital as after minutes that he swiftly took out his phone and talked through it. “Hello. Yenail? You're at the hospital? I'm coming over.”

“Yes. I am. Okay. I'm waiting for you.” Her sweet innocent voice rang his ears.

__________

She sat on one of the metal chairs that the hallway of the hospital contained when she was desperately waiting for Louis to reach her soon. Suspiciously, somewhat yet sometimes those stares were haunting her at the moment as she was seated all alone by herself when her beautiful body was somehow being the attraction for the other people over there. She missed Marquis the most at this moment. She missed her arms surrounding her small figure protectively in his own. She missed the way he use to cherish her every moment. She missed how he has always been so soft to her whenever it came to love. But most of all? She missed his embrace so much at the moment, his arms taking her in the beautiful cage that she never wanted herself to be free, when she missed his everything. Her mind suddenly drifted to other misconceptions when she thought about the others who might have done something to him by now.

Is he okay? Did they harm him by now? Did they beat him? What if they'll kill him? What if they done something dangerously deadly to him by now? Is he alive? Is he dead? What would be happening with him by now? Oh lord! Please, have him safe wherever he is.

Thoughts like these burned her head so badly when she just impatiently waited for Louis as her eyes were now shifted towards the gates of the hospital and after a while that she saw the man running at her.

“Yenail!! Are....Are you okay?” Louis panted badly while catching his breaths when he stared her with worried orbs.

“Louis, how is he?! How is Marquis? Did you meet him?” Yenail bombarded those questions at him like that when he was catching his breaths as he came running at her.

“I don't know, Yenail. I didn't meet him.” He replied honestly after feeling his breaths coming back to normal.

“Louis, I'm just so worried. What if they harmed him by now? What if they beat him or did something dangerous? Or more. What if they killed him by now?!” Yenail was literally panicking when the worry for Marquis was growing inside her moment by moment and Louis was simply stunned towards that thing. “Louis, I can't lose him. I already lost Seth.”

“Yenail, calm down! Nothing will happen to him. They cannot even touch him until or unless it is decided.” Louis sat her down along with himself when he later embraced her gently and tried his best to comfort her at the moment. “You're praying for him, Yenail. Worried for him. Look, how lucky he is. Don't worry, Yenail. Nothing will happen to him.” For a long while that she shed heavy tears onto his warm and broad chest whereas he was also holding slight tears in his own eyes which were only meant for his dead best friend as after minutes that he pulled apart and wiped off the corners of his eyes. “Now, come on. Let's go and burry Seth.”
