"I..It.. wasn't intentional..

" her voice turned feeble with each passing second.

At last, she took the U-turn and turned around to face the man with the mask. His entire face, including hair, was covered with the black mask, making it almost impossible for her to trace his chin!

"I..i.. don't want to die..

" no, she can't afford to be dead at this crucial point merely because of that bastard Lucas!

Won't her hard work and everything will go in vain if she ends up going to God?

"Olivia.. Olivia.. how am I supposed to tell you this? You are risking the wrong thing. I made a brilliant offer to you and you acted against me?

" The man tilted his head slightly along with the gun, pointed straight towards her heart.

Her fingers curled into a fist to open her mouth,

"I.. acted in my defense!

"

"Defense against someone who earlier had no intention of harming you. Looks like, being Lucas's right hand has made you more aggressive to everything.

"

She could sense that the man earlier used the limited patience which she tested already.

But the sincerity could not be seen through his words as well, making her almost wonder if he is literally joking!?

It was very much hard to guess by the demure but she had no option left in her hand. Biting her lower lip, she nodded her head.

With a bit of courage and keeping her self-esteem low, Oliva lowered her head,

"I'm sorry for that. I will do whatever you tell me..

"

The sweet t and emotional voice of hers didn't shift the man's heart too. He signed her to go and sit on the nearby couch.

"Go and sit there. Then we can have a talk.

"

She slightly nodded her head with his words when, keeping her eyelids low, Olivia managed to move in the direction of the couch.

Coming one step closer to the man, the stranger didn't leave his gun in his hands. Rather, he gave her threats and showed more vibrantly to her. The same made her heart sink but at the same time, she knew when to act.

When Olivia reached closer to the man and was ready to walk to the next side, she lifted her head to see the man with the same face

The pitiful expression of hers faded immediately, using her reflection to throw the gun out of the man's hand.

"Agh!

"

Not only that, Olivia used the rules she learned to kick the man in his stomach, making him stumble back on his legs.

"Girl! I told you to not go against me at all!

"

His threat and distant voice were already alarming but that didn't make Olivia afraid anymore.

"I'm Lucas's right hand and you think that a mere toy of yours can actually possess the power to make me afraid?

"

A scoff left her lips when she showed her thumbs down.

"If so, you were really wrong.

"

The gun had flown to the other part where it can't be shown anymore. The two people faced each other with their eyes filled with nothing but anger and cleverness.

But the eyes of the strangers were already hidden beneath the black face cover.

"I'm giving you the chance to leave this place before I get the police to come..

" Olivia said, just to warn the stronger at the last moment.

Unexpectedly, the man seemed to keep a smirk on his face which was sensed by her in his voice,

"Chance to me? Well, I already had the chance with you but you lost it all.

"

After he said that, the man walked closer to her when she tried to use her hands to punch the man on his face yet he easily defended himself.

It was the piece of cake that seems he didn't really end. As he grabbed her hard by her hair, he held her neck from her back, making her growl in pain.

"Slut! Let me show you your place tonight!

" As these words slipped out of the man's mouth, he brought her to the dining table, making her lay there.

The fruit trays were entirely filled with some fruits falling down on the ground while everything was on the table on the floor itself.

The sound of the prick was heard as everything shattered into the pieces. With this, the man's hand on her neck tightened with a more powerful grip.

"LEAVE ME!

"

"Leave you? You should have followed my words rather than keeping your **ing trust in your Lucas!

" The man's hands' grip tightened with each second.

The seconds seemed to be converted into microseconds when Olivia stepped out of the lock that he made. Her one hand wrapped on her neck to move his hand from her neck, but the oxygen supply was slowly getting low with the time.

'If this continues.. I will eventually die!' As the thought crossed her mind, Olivia tried to use the legs to make the man fall off but failed miserably too.

Seeing her in the struggling condition, a stranger laughed under the mask,

"I will now bless you to go to heaven tonight!

"

"Cough.. ah… sh.. Leave me! I will kill you!

" Her yells never stopped but they were seemingly getting low with each time.

The lack of oxygen was enough to make her lay unconscious very soon but her veins were almost on the eve of getting blocked.

Furthermore, her eyes turned to her back to see the fruit vase still playing on the dining table. One of the fruits had the knife inserted in it which gave her a clear-cut idea.

Using her hands to go near the fruit basked, she grabbed it in a few microseconds and it was ready to strike on the man's neck who was actually trying to choke her.

But her hand stopped just when she grabbed the knife because of something major.

TONG! TONG!

The sudden doorbell and both of them looked at the door as if their both heartbeats stopped. Before anyone else,

Olivia managed to lose his grip over her neck when his face was in the direction of the door. 'This is the time…' Olivia's eyes shined with mist when she strikes the knife on the right opportunity.

"AGHHHHH!

"
