Chapter 6 - Playing with fire

The next second with a thousand pound of force, the man lifted his right leg and stomped on the masked man thigh bone 

"Ah!" A heart _wrenching scream exploded, and even the crisp sound of bone breaking could be heard 

Amery felt her heart skipped, startled and turned around unconsciously , pushing the door open.

 She saw the masked man curled into a ball, his face paled with pain and his whole body covered in sweat 

His thigh bone was broken , and blood spurted out 

 He felt his body paralyzed when a kick landed on his stomach 

The masked man spatted blood, instantly he fell unconscious 

 Amery breath seized as she watched the scene before her, her heavy breathing made her chest rise and fall rapidly, she felt her brain scream out, frightened. 

 Her lips parted but words never came out,as her eyes met with the familiar dark grey eyes that stared back at her 

 This was the man she just got married to 

Her husband. 

How did he....

 The man strode towards her his gaze full of concern , his dark eyes fix on her as he scooped her up into his arms "it's okay now... I'm here"

 His deep, somewhat feel with warmth voice reached her ears, making her skipping heart finally relaxed " Don't worry, am here" 

For a second. His image become blurred and darker and slowly she soon fell unconscious 

His car slowly moved forward 

His assistant quickly step out and open the door 

And the man placed Amery on the seat,he lowered the seat so she would relax 

 The man eyes brows were furrowed as he stared at her current state

 "Take her car " The man ordered his assistant before entering through the other door 

 ... 

Meanwhile...

THE TAYLOR FAMILY MANSION 

Selena,paced in her room, phone pressed in her ears. 

 "I paid you for a simple job yet you failed. What kind of employee 're you? !!!" She hissed annoyed 

 "Ma'am,my men tried. She was alone at first, and he could have succeeded in taking her to the hotel. But then suddenly a man showed up and he couldn't act in time... he's injured as we speak..." 

 "You're full of excuses. Useless! Do you realized how much have loss today, the only point of kidnapping her was to please Mr Stark !" 

She hung up frustrated. 

 The whole point of having carried out such a plan was to require a huge deal from Mr Stark Parker for the support of Soul group inorder to gain balance and most of all to earn investment under him 

 This was such a great opportunity. As a marketing director of Chong LI fashion group 

 The old man used his identity to harm countless inexperienced young girls 

 He was addicted to women, treating them as playthings and his method was extremely sadistic and cruel. Once there was a fatal accident, and the police Interved in the investigation revealing his evil true face

 The man was simply a maniac. This ugly far middled age man had violated more than eighty women that day 

 Although, having the support of a popular law firm, his crime was erased since then but he had never stop this habit 

Inorder to secure a deal with him was bringing a woman to his bed tonight and that woman was supposed to be Amery Taylor, Selena had make sure she had lured her in without any suspicious attempt to kidnap her until she finally entered her car only to be trapped by the goon she hired. 

 Selena hadn't expect all her plans crashing down not after all her backup plan 

The crash of the vase nearby could be heard shattering on the floor,maids around were each afraid of her anger. Non of them bothered to enter the room, they didn't have the courage neither do they want to get fired today 

 Michelle walk through the corridor making the silence murmuring from each of the maids trailed off 

She entered Selena room only to be welcomed by the huge crack in the mirror 

 "Selena, you have to calm down... This's not how you simply react when things are out of control... You have to pull yourself together"She approached her with a soft tone

 "Why does She have to ruin my life like this..!,my acting career 's already on the brink of downfall! "Selena scream out, her tone laced with annoyance 

She have never lost to Amery once, not even twice but just today changes everything . The side effects of the damages was her perfect life that she had make sure remains that, suddenly become chaotic 

Michelle sat besides her on the bed, anger stirred from deep inside her 

 That damn...

Have just left them with nothing 

Her existence truly left no benefits for them, she had kept her all along with the thought of using her as a way to mingle with the Caliste family but little did they know back then , that she would ruin it all

 All this years the lotus flower has never gone wirld

 For the first time doubt crept in. 

Was someone actually protecting her? 

That explains her new attitudes 

 "The auctioning is tomorrow, let's see how she secure her mother precious necklace as for those protecting her they won't survive it" Michelle beamed with pride

**********************************

Getting to his villa 

The staffs, surprised to see a woman in their Boss 's arms bowed quickly with no comments 

 The man gently placed her on the bed and she grumbled a little in her sleep. 

 Amery nestled in his arms seeming to be awake but because of the effect of something in her system ,her mind was confused 

 Why does she feel so hot

 "So hot" 

The man who was inches away from her , his brows knitted slightly 

Was she drugged? 

Her eyes flicked open seeing the familiar sight of her new husband, however she felt her inside burn with so much heat

Absentmindedly she began to snuggle into his arms pulling him even closer 

The man body was cold, but as she got closer,it seemed to relieve the heat inside her body 

The man gaze lingered on her lips, his eyes dark with hunger, something he 'd held on until now. 

His Adam apples moved 

She suddenly had an idea and pounced on him, pecking his thin seductive lips 

The man was surprised by her action, his whole body stiffened and his lips loosened 

Amery smiled foolishly "This's how it should be..." 

His handsome face darkened as she wrapped her arms on his neckline staring at his dark grey eyes ,"your eyes are so pretty..." 

 The intensity of his eyes was searing, darkened with something primal, something that made her inside flip with awareness 

 "Do you know what you 're doing? You're playing with fire" He said, his voice a rough whisper that sent shiver down her spine, his touch was light,yet it commanded her full attention, his thumb brushing gently along her jawline 

 Amery felt a fire burning inside her, making her throat dry 

His lips were cold, and only by desperately getting close him could she feel all the discomfort 

So, just as the man finished speaking, she pounced on him again pecking his lips 

After kissing, she even smiled provocatively 

Is kissing just playing with fire? 

"You might regret this, later on..." His hot breath mingled with hers

 What's there to regret when he's her husband? 

Amery eyes gleamed,her lips curling into a daring smile," so what? " She whispered, leaning closer,her breath brushing against his lips 

The man lips curved into a smirk, intrigued by her boldness. He leaned in closer, his face dangerously close to hers" if we start this,I won't be able to resist,I won't stop until your moans make this bed break into halves" he murmured, his voice low and filled with awareness. "You might regret it..."

 Amery chuckled softly her fingers brushing along his cheeks "I'm willing to try that..." Her touch became softer,her thumb gently stroking his jawline. She smiled dreamily " let's do it.."

Unexpectedly. She pressed her lips against his. 

The new husband grip tightened as Amery lips pressed against his, soft and full of desire. It shocked him,her boldness, the intensity of her kiss, the way she moved against him with such sensuality that his control wavered. 

 For a moment,he let himself feel the heat between them...

His instincts told him to hold back but her touch,her voice made it difficult to resist the magnetic pull between them 

Under the heat,he simply grabbed the back of her neck and took initiative and kiss her

 "Um..." Amery eyes widened in an instant. 

After a moment of shock, she regained her composure. Instead of resisting, she took the initiative to hug his neck closer

The man became somewhat familiar and even addicted, unable to control his desires 

As if coming to his senses. He stopped 

This was dangerous for her. Claiming her right now was his greatest desires but she might not survive it

 Amery pouted her lips " why did you stop..."

Her trench coat that was wrapped around her was pulled open, exposing her snow white shoulders to the air.

 The man darted away as quick as possible. He got up from the bed 

Only to be pulled on his wrist. " I need ice..." 

The handsome face Infront began to blurr 

 The man easily lifted her up and without a word took her to the bathroom.

....

After what seems like a while. 

Amery was placed on the bed sleeping quietly 

 As his large hand touched her,he felt a sudden warmth 

 Was she running a fever after all of that..? 

*********************

Ring! Ring! 

The piercing sound of the phone suddenly rang out in the hospital lounge 

 Mantis was so startled that he jumped from the sofa and fell heavily on the ground. 

The deadly ringtone continued, and he grabbed the phone from his pillow and cursed loudly " Don't they know I just finished a six hour surgery? Even if it's exploiting labor,I need some time to rest and sleep right? If I have to work overnight like this,I quit! " 

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone 

Then,a low, hoarse voice " Mantis.. it's me..."

This voice 

Mantis quickly look at the screen 

When he saw the the three characters " Big Boss"

He shuddered and instantly woke up from his drowsiness 

The anger that had just been awakened flew to java and he held the phone properly, his voice becoming cautious "Boss,.... sorry for the inconveniences,is there any problem? "

 "Bring your medical kit.. I want to see you in fifteen minutes " He said 

"Is everything alright? " Mantis asked with concern 

"Come to the mansion. If you're late ,it's your own problem " The man hung up with a hint of impatience 

Mantis was dumbfolded 

Why was he in such a hurry? Did anything bad happen? 

Was there a human patient in his house? 

Thinking of this,he didn't dare to delay and immediately jumped up, grabbed his medical kit and rushed out 

 ___________________

At the same time, The man was leaning against the bedroom door, his handsome face was darkened 

His icy gaze swept over his wristwatch 

A few minutes later, there was a frantic sound of footsteps outside the door 

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open from the outside. Mantis rushed in, with his messy hair and sweating profusely, gasping for breath "I'm not late,it's fifteen minutes and fifty seconds" 

 After finally catching his breath, Mantis quickly walked up to the man and looked him up and down before speaking 

"Boss, you look alright. Is there a patient in the base?" 

 "Follow me " The man interrupted his rambling and turned to walk towards the master bedroom 

Mantis followed him completely confused 

 When he saw a woman lying on the bed,all the words he had in his mind got stuck in his throat. His mouth slowly opened,as if he could fit an egg inside 

 He stood frozen in place unable to believe what he was seeing.

Was he blind? Or was he dreaming 

Otherwise, how could he see a woman lying on Boss's bed

 The woman was casually wrapped in a black shirt that clearly belong to his Boss 

 "Look again and I'll gourge your eyes out..." His boss threatened coldly 

 Mantis picked up his medical kit and walked solemnly to the bedside.
