Chapter 80

“I wanna know, how it feels to be like fallen angel.

Of love.”

(Fallen Angel - Backstreet Boys.)

The other day as well that Marquis's sight searched the same man once again when they were present in the loaded area after a whole week, as his mind was deliberately disturbed by the words that that unknown man conveyed which were relatable to something about the combination of love and power, and his brain revolved around the mystery of those syllables as they struck his mind like lightning bolts, like the strongest knots impossible to untie when he wanted to know those words in detail as a new mystery that he craved to taste. But today his luck wasn't being with him when unfortunately, he got disturbed by another gabby who was willing to play with his secret private space.

Marquis sat at his usual same spot, his favourite corner and today his attitude was touched with curiosity to collect some rare information but didn't know that he got to deal with opposite errands as well, when his eyes were fixed over those loud, noisy, same-outfit yet wide spread crowd in front of him. He felt a hand rubbing his left thigh which apparently yet immediately made him jump at his spot as while being so focused over those scattered gloaks, Marquis didn't even notice another man beside him.

“Hey handsome.” A man with his lips curved in a smirk, talked seductively. “You were being alone from all of this time.”

“What the fuck!” Marquis's harsh curse left his lips so furiously when he yanked away the other guy's hand from his thigh.

“Oh c'mon, daddy. Let's play.” The man suddenly raised Marquis's goosebumps when under the table, his thigh again got rubbed but this time, the hand was reaching up a little bit while getting near his sensitive part.

“Excuse me?!” Marquis knitted his brows.

“Squeeze me ~” The man sexily bit his bottom lip while keep on doing the thing.

“Stop! What the hell are you doing?!” Irritation burnt his every blood cell and disturbing madness took over Marquis's nerves when he almost yelled at the dirty initiative actions that he inhaled with anger rushing through his whole body. He grabbed the wrist of the man and harshly pushed him away, when he scooted himself while making distance between them as all the corners were filled already but the man moved even more closer to his side. “Fucking leave me alone, you manly hoe.”

“Don't be afraid, sugar daddy. Everyone's busy in their own businesses. Let us do ours.” The man seductively ran his fingers up over Marquis's rough shirt which were sending chills down the man's spine after feeling his toned abs, as the next moment that Marquis slapped his hand away so irritatingly and blurted out so angrily.

“FUCK OFF!!” The smirk on the face of the man who was trying to seduce Marquis, grew even wider when he saw his bare chest heaving with sweat, started to make the area wet around Marquis's neck. “Don't make me kill you with just my bare hands. I don't need any weapons.” Marquis warned further ahead while gritting his teeth when he saw the other man in front, now leaning in to reach his neck.

“Yes please, daddy. That way, I will be getting touched by your heavenly palms.” The words were so near Marquis's neck as the man's breaths were almost hitting the lower section of Marquis's neck.

“Help!!” Marquis shouted in disgrace all of a sudden when soon, the other man who was hovering over Marquis's chest, was detached and thrown away over the floor right after minutes, whereas Marquis breathed heavily in disturbance when he remained at his spot. He never thought of being seduced by a man.

Poor prince charming of exploding handsomeness and a bomb of young beautiful heavenly features, attracted a gay, who too was arrested for the same actions that he does moments ago with this young daddy, when the other guy was badly attracted to Marquis’s slightly exposed neck which was being more of a meal to make the man's mouth water up in no time and Marquis on the other hand, could not fight back as he made sure to his girl before coming here at this dungeon that he won’t be fighting with anyone. Though his one strong blow was enough to provide their bodies some new broken postures and their faces, some new glow ups but he possibly yet surely could not do that when he remained at his spot while breathing heavily. 

Unknowingly, Marquis tasted his own medicine in a different way as now that he got to know how she felt every time when he tried to seduce Yenail.

Several men gathered around like bees and hovered here and there over the recent action that aired when it wasn't so rare at all to see a new thing every year, but this was being so unexpected.

While Marquis stood at his spot, frozen like a scared cub or kid, another hand upon his own shoulder jolted him up, making his breaths go even higher when with wide eyes that he turned along with a deadly shocking face yet heaving chest. “Aa!”

“Hey?” The man whom Marquis was searching for, bumped again. “You okay?”

The shocked expression of Marquis turned into an amazing one so early when he widely smiled after spotting the same guy as he talked further ahead with such happiness. “I was looking for you!!” 

“Oh. Really? But didn't you tell me to fuck off?” The unknown man with tan skin, raised his thin eyebrow when he questioned Marquis's sudden change in his behavior.

“I-I'm really sorry for my behavior earlier. Please.” Marquis's eyes were screaming apology as there gleamed innocence like a little child. “I need to know about that information that you were telling me.” With a serious look yet tone that Marquis further added and expected an answer from the other man.

“Yeah sure, dude. Why not?” The unknown man seemed happy. “Well, the earing that you are wearing, has stones that are really rare to be found. It indicates a strong connection of love and--” The man was soon cut off by another voice.

“Back to your cell, burglars!”

Another stern yet angry tone got mingled with the air through the hidden loudspeakers in the area when there was a sudden disturbance in the crowd as the grey scattered gloaks who were wandering around, started to get in cues in order to go back to their respective metal walled cages, whereas Marquis and the unknown man kept on talking while the other men were being pushed by the black figures.

“Hey!! You two!! Enough!!” A man in tight black attire, casted so angrily when he spotted two greys still being busy in talking like it was the most important task to do on earth.

“I need to know more! What's your name?” Marquis hurriedly asked.

“Gary!” Another man introduced furiously when soon than he got dragged away, but he doesn’t forget to do the same thing as well. “What's yours?”

While being dragged away too, Marquis also almost shouted at him. “Marquis!”

In the house of the Parker where Yenail was living from this past one and a half week, almost, to her arrival yet stay, the three males of the house were so comfortable and mingled well with the girl from outside but still, there was still one person who had those red horns grown above her head.

What a coincidence that happened with Yenail. This whole week she remained out of the sight of the devil, Leena and every time, whenever Yenail got to bloom up her sweet figure in front of the cactus currently, she quickens her paces and sprints towards her designated room, just for the sake of the peace in the house that happened to occur from past days. The three males’ leaves for their works and the poor angel got to stay at home with the witch. Louis, the police officer who got to leave for the police station, at the other hand, there was Max who was the Manager of a Music Company and of course, who could forget the young, charming yet handsome and adoring elder of the family yet also the CEO of the most powerful company that encompasses the top other companies within the country which was also well known among the best ones, known as The Dacoda Enterprises and the owner itself, Danial Parker.

Only today that it all went upside down when her time was being even harsher with herself once again. It was weekend and the three males were roaming around comfortably while breaking into the coziness of the day when Yenail and Max were casually talking about random stuff and few other gossips, the thin air of the house wasn't tightening at all when Yenail was still breathing lightly in it while she was standing at the kitchen counter with Max as both of them were holding cups of warm coffees in their hands, the clock was ticking almost twelve in the night while they both talked in peace. Until the devilish witch appeared and saw them standing so close, before entering the kitchen.

Leena's anger hit her so hard when she saw her own husband smiling and giggling with that girl whom that she hated the most and that was the mere moment when her insides were raging her up and was burning hotter than the fire of hell itself inside her, when with her heaving chest that Leena took furious steps towards them both and Yenail put the coffee cup aside while panicking to death along with her wide eyes after seeing her that way, when Max also made a turn as the same situation happened with him.

The dark death glare that Leena casted right at Yenail when she harshly captured Yenail's arm and asked her out. Even Max never faced it before. “What are you doing with him?”

“I was--just--ta-talking, Leena.” Yenail whimpered a little with her broken vocals while being in her tight grasp as that reminded her of a familiar sting in her arms. The pain that she has faced earlier by a different person when her fingers scratched against Leena's hand while begging for the sake of freeing herself, but Leena didn't bother a little. Danial stood up immediately from the couch and rushed towards the kitchen from the living room right after he heard Yenail's voice cracking up.

“First my brothers, and now? My husband!!” Leena dug her sharp nails in her sensitive skin and in result, Yenail's eyes watered up in no time.

“Leena, stop this nonsense!” Max interrupted so instantly when he also tried detaching her hand from her arm but it was completely useless, when Leena jerked him off and shouted over her husband.

“YOU STAY AWAY!!”

“What's going over he—Leena!!” Danial appeared and soon than his sight captured Yenail all crying while she was being in Leena's hard grip.

“Girl, you had enough!” Leena fiercely turned towards the weeping yet terrified soul as after moments that she started dragging her away.

“Leena, stop!!” Danial caught his elder sister's hand when he tried to detach it from her arm while shouting for the sake of another girl's life. “What the hell are you doing!!?”

“Don't!! I won't take another breath in, if she would still be here.” Leena didn't stop there as she continued to drag her away.

“I didn't do anything! Please!!” Yenail pleaded time to time and at the same time her tears were dripping nonstop like a heavy rainfall from her eyes.

“Leena, stop it!!” Another deep yet heavy voice sheared the interior of the house when their younger appeared and without even listening to him nor even caring about it, Leena harshly dragged away Yenail up to the main door when Danial and Max saw with worry rushing through their bodies.

“Leena, stop it!! Please!!” The younger again screamed.

“Louis, that's enough!! This whore practically got all of you in her magic. But my husband! Argh!! Enough now!! I had enough!!” Leena shouted when she finally yet harshly pushed Yenail away and made her cross the main door as the other girl who kept on crying for no reason at all, entered the dark yet dangerous world outside.

The whimpering girl who became a crying mess in no time when her eyes were glued towards the white entrance door that was still opened as Yenail squealed her shoulders inside out of the cold while being on the rock ground, later that she lifted her innocent puffy red eyes towards the door being shut right at her face along with a thud whereas inside the house remained, a heavy breathing Leena, yet two shocked and tensed males while their younger still tried to figure out what just happened when Louis's mouth was gaped along with his eyes fixed at the main door as after crossing Leena, Louis made his way towards the main door but stopped in his mid-tracks after he heard his elder sister talking.

“If you dare to open that door, Louis! You won't be seeing my face again.” Leena warned him when she glared her younger brother while Max and Danial silently stood at their spots.

“But where will she go at this hour?!” Louis angrily talked back to his elder sister.

“Go to hell or wherever!! I don't care!!” Leena shouted right at him when she stomped her foot and made a turn while crossing her arms around her chest as later she scoffed and her feet took her to her room.

While standing near the main door, Louis's chest heaved with anger as without even listening or responding more to anyone, he straight took big steps towards his room upstairs which was being besides Leena's room.

Max's and Danial’s, both of their sights were fixed upon them when they made sure that Leena crossed the boundary of her room, as later that their sights averted onto each other and Max dashed towards the main door when he made his way outside while Danial kept his eyes at the interior. Just in case if something happens.

“Yenail! Where are you?” Max loud-whispered when he doesn't wanted his wife to know that they were searching the girl whom that she herself escorted or more like threw out moments ago. “Yenail? Yenail, where are you?!” Max loud whispered once again when he twirled right and left in the dark as he was willing to spot that girl when he kept on searching again and again. “Yenail! Where are you? Yenail, whe—”

Suddenly his senses distracted by a sobbing sound when he knit his brows unknowingly and his feet proceeded towards the direction from where the sound was coming as Max reached the side of the house and saw someone already balled up in the dark corner.

Her silent sobs along with the whimpers were loud enough at this hour when even the halting air was being so calm, but not her heart. Yenail was already worried for her love as she had no idea if he was fine or not when her cries seemed like a lifetime immanent. Her eyes were tempered with tears that were true as she missed Marquis even more.

The man seated between the metal walls, lifted his face from his palms so furiously along with wide eyes, when fear spread all over his baby face after knowing expectantly that something might have happened with his girl as he panicked and started breathing so heavily.

“Yenail. No. No. No. No. No. NO! Please!” Marquis balled up and stammered worriedly while thinking about his girl that she might have faced something so dreadful that pinched his heart all so suddenly. Just like when Marquis killed her mother back then, Yenail got to know about it on the moment and the same was happening with Marquis currently when his heart was dreadfully worried for her as now that their hearts were connected by the strongest bonds of their souls. “No. No. Please no. No... Yenail, be safe. Be safe. Please. Oh god! Protect her! Please be safe, Yenail. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.”

While being hell scared that Marquis pleaded and prayed so desperately along with teared eyes when his throat was shaking along with his vocals as he was terrified. Badly terrified, when Marquis's emotions were mixing all of a sudden. He was angry at the point if something really did happen to his only girl? He won't be able to save her. He was sad at the thing that he cannot protect her. He was broken that she needs him and he isn't there. These all emotions and feelings were burning his skull when he wanted to throw things and watch them break into small tiny pieces which resembles the current condition of his heart, but he could not do any of those things at the moment when he slammed the metal wall so hard while yelling like a mad man.

In the control room where several screens were to be seen, each one telling an activity of the criminal when one caught their attention as in one of their screen, they saw a man madly yelling for no reason at all when they observed his every move. How he was not stopping from shouting at all while being so near to almost face a nervous breakdown. How he was kicking in the air and throwing punches over the wall yet also, how he was pulling his own hair.

Did they care earlier? Would they care now? Absolutely not.

Marquis shouted, yelled and screamed so madly to shatter up the walls if only instead of the metal, they would be made of glass when he pulled his hair so madly while almost breaking the roots but soon than he stopped, he fell down over his knees while being so hopeless than ever and cried onwards for the rest of the time after crumpling his own shirt and digging his face in his palms, he shouted like a vicious mad beast again while kicking like an angry child along with those bold and heavy tears constantly staining his rosy cheeks, when while still crying that he burry his face once again in his palms.

“God, please protect her.” His whimpers vibrated through his rough palms when he cried dead hard. “Please. I beg you for her protection.” He lifted his face towards the roof with tears already holding his desperate orbs damping them up, while thinking that the God must be hearing his pleas. “I know that I'm not even worth forgiving. I know that I have done sins that are terrible and I'm paying for it. Please. I'm ready to face and bear more but please. Oh Lord! Please! She doesn't deserve this all.” He cried even more when he rested his forehead over his wrists and kept on crying further ahead when his cracked vocals filled the silence of the cell while his back was supported by the metal wall behind him, when he squeezed himself inside. It seemed like he was holding it inside himself and this was the time to think about all of the mistakes that he has done.

This was the real time to cherish. The real time to learn. This was the real time to invoke, properly.

The hiccups converted to whimpers and whimpers turned to sobs when soon than the silence took over again and Marquis slowly started lying down upon the cold floor, his hollow eyes blankly stared the iron door in front of him as the beast in himself was slightly trying to calm down. His red puffy eyes started to get heavy when he slowly allowed his eyes to get covered by the lids as soon than he got welcomed by the slumber.

“Yenail?” A hand caressed her head so gently as the voice spoke again. “Are you okay?” She lifted her head and even in that pitch black darkness, those tears sparkled like pearls in her dreadful eyes while she was crying along with the hiccups. “I'm really sorry for her behavior.” Max talked and pulled on an apology from his illiterate wife.

“Yenail!!” Another manly voice joined their conversation when they both saw someone reaching them soon as the tall figure in the dark, asked her while he was breathing heavily. “Are you okay?”

“I'm sorry, Danial. But I won't come inside.” Yenail's cracked vocals reached their ears.

“Are you crazy?! Where will you go at this hour?” While panting that Danial asked when his hands were resting over his thighs as he was exhaustingly bent over.

“Yeah. Where will you go?” Politely that Max asked too.

“I have a home. I'll go and live there.” Yenail responded in a dull tone.

“You mad? With whom that you'll going to live there?” After catching his normal breath rate, Danial asked. “If you're thinking of living alone over there? Than no chance!” He strictly ordered and later crossed his arms.

“But, Danial—” Yenail begged.

“No arguments, Yenail.” Danial ordered right away. “Friends care about each other. Right?” Gently that he patted her head and made her stand after holding her arms. “Besides, she's just facing her days currently. So. Um. She's quiet angry in these days. You know what I'm talking about?” Danial nervously scratched the back of his neck when he felt a bit embarrassed while discussing about women's hectic red alert days. 

“She's dangerous in those days. I've faced her. Honestly.” Max admitted with a sigh when he added further ahead. “By the way, we will be leaving after two days.”

“It's okay. I'll not going to come in front of her or it will simply make it worse. Her anger's quiet dangerous. She could face a nervous breakdown, just because of me.” Yenail worriedly blurted out when she fiddled her fingers.

“Aa, don't worry. She also makes us feel the real headaches sometimes. C'mon, let's go inside.” Danial hopefully smiled when he signaled her to go with him but she refrained and stayed stood at her spot.

“What happened?” They both asked her in a unison with their eyebrows dancing at their foreheads.

“I'll be fine in the garage.” She declared.

“What??” Danial bluntly asked her when he tried to process to what she just said. “Yenail...don't be like that. Just come in—”

“Danial, please. I'll be fine.” Yenail insisted when she added further ahead. “I'm sorry.”

Danial was dead angry at this thing when he breathed heavily after twisting his fists and pursing his lips in an annoying manner along with his brows knitting, a heavy sigh that the other two heard in the dark and the person spoke afterwards when hardly that Danial controlled his anger and ordered Max before turning away with heavy footsteps. “Show her the garage.”
