Chapter 729 - The Contract Part 2
After the sex, he went downstairs to get food. She fell asleep after the lovemaking. So, he needed to secure food for her. The hotel staff is giving everyone food. There are a lot of foreign people there for their vacation but the typhoon came so no one can enjoy everything around.
"Is there any extra-blanket?
" he asked.
"Yes sir.
"
"Can you please deliver it to 032 Suite?
"
"I will deliver it right away, sir.
"
"Thank you.
" He went upstairs with a tray in his hand to their room. He tapped the ID and push the door open. He put the food on the side table and approached the window. He closed the curtains.
"Babe,
" He called. She moaned and rolled on the bed.
"I got the foods. Get up,
"
Someone knocked on the door and he went to open it. Then, he took the blankets and gave the man a tip.
"I'm starving. Let's eat in bed. I feel really lazy.
"
He put the blanket on the bedside table and then, he took the tray and deliver it to her. She kissed him.
"Thank you. I never felt like a Queen in my life. Just around you.
"
He smirked at her and scooped her chin.
"Well, you need to get used to having sex around anytime I feel it.
"
She giggled.
"Don't worry. I'm ready for it.
"
She took the hot soup. She sipped on it with a sighed. He enjoys the hot soup and then he checked his old phone and there are lots of notification coming. There's still a signal and there are Rhys's messages every day.
What has he done? He should've to trust Rhys but with what happened. He made it more chaotic. He watched the video of his brother coming home drunk every night and would cry to his mother about him.
"It's that your brother?
" She asked.
"Yes, and I think I hurt my brother so much.
"
"Hmm, Raiden. Have you thought that Rhys could do it?
"
"No.
" He shook his head.
"Then, talk to him.
" She said.
"You only see them in that lewd position and Rhys is not actually **ing her. I think you should talk to Rhys.
"
He checked the video and he mentioned that he didn't touch her. So, Rhys is just keeping his hands off her. Bianca might claim sexual harassment if Rhys ever touches her to push her. It happened but, now he understands.
He also read Rhys's email. His heart is in pain. He's in pain for turning back from his brother. He tapped the message and texted him.
Raid: I'm sorry, Rhys. I love you, bro.
He hit the send message and put away his phone and enjoy the food with her. She smiled at him.
"See? I think Rhys won't do such a thing.
"
"How about your sister?
"
"Well, she got jealous a lot because of me. She takes everything I have and break everything beautiful that I have. We fight a lot and she warned me. Maybe it's because, when my ex-fiancé came into our lives, she gets worst. That's also where she seduced him and he is just a **ing playboy and screw around. I saw them in actual and heard them. I won't burst out if I didn't. But you only saw one side of the scenario.
"
"Yeah, I'm so dumb. My mom always teaches us to look at each side before the conclusion.
"
"Don't worry about it. Let's just eat. Then, you will talk to Rhys and reconcile.
"
After their dinner, they stayed together talking and hearing each other's story even though the lights got turned off and his phone died. He didn't get to call Rhys. Damn it.
The wind gets stronger. Outside, the pine trees are swaying as few leaves and branches break. It goes to their window and there are many times that it slapped in there.
"I'm going to see if there's a light downstairs.
"
"I'm going with you.
" She put her clothes on and then, she took her phone and turned on the flashlight.
They went downstairs and the staff is listening to the radio. He sat down on the sofa and listened to them. It's in their language but he understands it. There's a big crash on the main door. Someone shouted for help.
He immediately went in the direction to respond. A man is lying on his blood. He called for towels and pressed the blood on his thigh.
"Where did you get this?
" He asked.
"There's a man in the hotel.
" He whispered.
"He tried to kill him.
"
Raiden looked around to find his wife.
"Charlotte!
" he called out.
"Some of the crew came to help and he left the man.
"Charlotte!
" He shouted. His wife is no longer there.
He creased his brows and tell the receptionist to call the police. He went upstairs and Charlotte is running upstairs to their floor room.
"Charlotte!
" he called out and she stopped. She ran to him. He exhaled when he saw that she's alright.
"What's going with you?
"
"Raiden, I saw the man holding a knife. He had blood on his hands…
" She said rapidly as she stammers.
"I'm here now.
" He takes her downstairs to check on the guy. He's on the sofa as they gave him first aid.
The man looked frantic as he kept looking around.
"We will investigate this. Someone here is trying to kill.
" Raiden said.
"And everyone in here is suspects.
"
The whole hotel has been locked down and no one can get out. Raiden tapped his smartwatch that Pattinson Technology made just for them. He tapped for an emergency but even his smartwatch dies.
"Fuck.
"
"What's wrong?
" She asked.
"My smartwatch is out. I can't SOS to the Phoenix or Dragon.
" He mumbled.
"How about your other phone?
"
They waited around and gathered people and the man that Charlotte and the victim saw. Charlotte asked the victim about how the man looked and she asked for a pencil and paper as she started sketching the face.
Raiden looked around checking everyone's faces. The police won't arrive until the typhoon passes. Charlotte shows the sketch to the victim and he said it was the man indeed.
The victim might be somewhere around. Raiden can't leave his wife but he needed to investigate. She hugged him and yawned.
"You sleepy?
" He asked as he caressed her hair.
"Can we go to our bedroom now?
"
"Alright, I'm going to speak to the assistant manager first.
" Raiden leaves her for a while and approached the Assistant Manager and spoke about the crime that is happening. There might be other killings going so he needed a plan.
He checked their room before he helped her dust the bed. He tucked her in and cover her with more blanket.
"You are not going to sleep?
" She asked.
"Babe, I know you are tired. Go to sleep. I will need to check on the people downstairs.
"
"Stay with me.
" She mumbled and yawned. He reached her head.
"You feel hot.
"
"I feel dizzy,
" She mumbled.
"Okay.
" He didn't want to leave her but he needed to check on others down there. The electricity came back and it's not raining hard anymore. The typhoon calmed down and slowly leaving the area.
His wife had a fever so he called downstairs for medicine. In a few minutes, someone knocked on the door. He opened it thinking that it was the staff and he stopped. The man from Charlotte's sketch is right in front of him. He smiled showing his white teeth.
Raiden stepped back and kicked the door the close it but he blocked it.
"Charlotte!
" He screamed. Charlotte opened her eyes and saw the man.
Raiden blocked the man and use all of his martial arts techniques to defend himself. Charlotte scrambled to the other side and called for help while Raiden is fighting the guy near the balcony
Raiden grabbed the tray and use it to block the knife. Then, he kicked the guy on the lower part. He smacked the guy with the tray and another after another after the man seemed to feel dizzy. He looked at Charlotte on the corner shaking and calling for help.
The wind outside unexpectedly blew up again like a twister with the lightning that somehow hit on the tree just near the hotel.
"Raiden!
" Charlotte screamed and the balcony crashes as somehow the twisting wind slapped the coconut palm through the glass windows. Raiden ran off but the coconut palm tree ran through the back of his head and his back and he fell on the ground.
The wind entered and it gets stronger.
"Raid!
" Charlotte cries as she tried to remove the thick. The wind twirls around that crushes on a few things.
The staff helped her removed it and dragged Raiden's body away. She grabbed the blanket inside and pressed the bleeding at the back of his head.
The other staff pulled the other body that attacked Raiden. However, glass goes through his neck, and he's not breathing.
Charlotte cries as she wakes up Raiden.
"Babe,
" Charlotte cried.
