I will Love You Forever - Chapter 116

“Tch… Call me mama.” immediately I finished saying that sentence, I pulled out two daggers at the back of my pants and attacked him.

Val didn’t see it coming but he was swift and evaded all the attacks I made towards him.

I swung the dagger back and forth, sideways but it never for once even scratched him.

“Tsk… I thought you’d be at least a worthy competitor but I was wrong.” the side of his lips curved upwards.

“Sit over there like the good girl you should be and wait for me.” he turned around and began to walk away pissing me off even more.

I sighed and got up from where I sat then charged towards him again, this time with more speed and agility.

Val turned at the brinks of time and waved his hand sending me flying to the wall.

“Ouch… That hurts.” I beat my chest and grabbed my back as I struggled to get up but in the next second, I was pinned to the wall with Val’s hand literally choking me to death.

“Why don’t you listen?” he asked what a smile still plastered on his face.

I struggled to breathe but in the next second, my lip curved upwards.

“What are you smiling at?” he asked with a serious expression and I was forced to say it.

I pointed to the cut on his cheek and revealed a wider smile.

One of his hands was still holding my neck while the other touched his face. He smirked seeing blood from the cut then licked the blood on his hand.

“Eww… Do you have to be so irritating?” I protested and he shrugged then let me go after seeing my red face.

“Go and sit obediently Ayla, I…” he was still talking when his vision started to get blurry.

Val’s head spun and he struggled to maintain his balance. “What… What is going on?”

I smiled and looked at the dagger in my hands. “Don’t you think I would be stupid if I thought I would be able to defeat you? I had some assistance.” I waved the dagger at him and he touched the part on his face that I had cut. The dagger had a liquid substance in it, a very strong paralysing substance that can cause even an elephant to become numb.

I smiled sinisterly and walked up to him as he fell to the ground. Val had a hard time standing on his feet and fell to the ground on his back.

I crouched to his level and could see his eyes giving way, “And to make my work easier, you licked it, gross.”

I laughed and stood up. I placed the dagger back in the case and dusted my clothe clean before walking over him.

“So much for a worthy competitor.” I smiled and walked out of the warehouse.

###

Qin tried to find the mirror but had no idea where he could have dropped it. To make matters worse, he couldn’t look at the basilisk because it had completely transformed and one look at it was enough to kill him.

“Ah… Help me.” he ran as fast as he could with Elizabeth tailing him closely. She swung her hands to attack him but each time, he barely missed.

Finally, he got to the warehouse. “Ah… She’s coming don’t look.”

Diana who was fighting with Johnathan was confused. “Where is the mirror?” she asked and Qin shouted,

“I can’t find it.”

She began to run as well cursing under her breath. “You’re a doctor yet your IQ is so low.”

She cursed and ran as fast as she could but they soon got to a dead end. There was a fence there blocking them and it was so high that even if they changed to wolves, they still wouldn’t make it.

They both faced the wall and Diana looked at him with murderous intent.

Qin was almost messing his pants and couldn’t think of any other way out. The basilisk was already behind them and turning would only kill them.

Heavy steps were heard and with every step, their hearts beat twice faster.

Just when they thought it was going to be over, they heard someone run over and a scream was heard.

They could only guess what was going on and when there was finally silence, they turned to look and to their surprise, the basilisk was gone and the person standing with the mirror was Johnathan.

Diana blinked twice and couldn’t wrap her head around what just happened.

Just then, Ayla ran out and looked at them quizzically, “Did you get it?” she asked but when she saw the mirror with Johnathan, she wanted to cry.

What if he breaks it and releases his wife again?

Johnathan looked up at Ayla and smiled. This smile of his made her look at him confused.

“Thank you,” he said and everyone was confused.

“I’m sorry for putting you through so much stress but I had to find a way to trap her.” his words came out like a time bomb waiting to explode.

Ayla’s brow furrowed and then, she thought about something. “You… You’re that anonymous man, aren’t you?” she asked surprised and the side of his lips curved upwards.

He nodded. Ayla was still surprised to see that Johnathan also wanted his wife trapped.

“Why?” she couldn’t help but ask as they rode back home.

“Why do you think Mr Johnathan would want his wife trapped?” I asked Qin who had to get another pant because the one he was wearing was stripped by Elizabeth.

Diana sighed and answered the question, “Basilisks are harmful creatures, Johnathan isn’t that type of demon. I guess she fed on him as well just as she did to Kara.” she staring out the window when she said this and I finally understood.

I picked up my phone and smiled before dialling Gerard’s number. “Hey, you…” I teased and he sounded calm.

“You got your phone back…” he calmly inquired and I nodded.

“Um… Kel’s father gave it to me.” Mr Johnathan had giving me my phone along with my laptop and Qin’s phone as well.

“So what are you up to?” he asked and I thought for a while.

“Well, I’m with Qin and Diana. We went to have some fun but I’m going back home now. I don’t want to miss the match.” I responded ecstatically.

“Match? What match?” I asked and I blinked twice.

“Football. It’s February remember?” I remained him but he didn’t seem the least happy rather he sounded surprised.

“Football? You watch that stuff?” he asked and the curiosity in his voice surprised me.

“Who doesn’t? Watching football is the best, anyone who doesn’t watch it should get a test done.” I spoke without thinking and regretted it almost instantly.

Gerard was quick to respond.

“Me.”

I pursed my lips and my eyes widened a little. “Um… What I mean to say is, watching football can be very…” I didn’t know the word to use.

“Very…” he added pressuring me to complete my sentence.

“Well, watching football can be very annoying and anyone that watches it should stay away from it.” u blurted out and Qin looked at me with his jaws dropped.

“Um? Didn’t you just say…” Gerard was still talking when I cut him short.

“Huh? I never said anything. All I said was football can be very boring sometimes.” Gerard has already been away for a while now. How can I possibly say he needs to go and get a test done? That would only mean that he would have to stay away again.

I’ll rather twist my words than have him delay his return.

I pouted thinking about how many days were left. My voice turned soft and gentle. “When will you be coming back?”

There was silence at the other end but after a few seconds, he responded. “Soon.” was all he said and I felt as though that wasn’t a good enough answer.

“Okay,” I responded.

“Be good and make sure you eat a lot and sleep a lot.” he requested.

“Hah! Just turn me into a glutton who does nothing but eat and sleep.” I pouted and I could hear him chuckle from the other end.

“What was that? Did you just laugh?” I asked curiously and get cleared his throat.

“Why would I?” he denied and I shook my head.

“I’ll hang up now. My battery is low.” I explained.

“Um.” the lines got disconnected and Gerard turned to look at the people he was in a meeting with.

He was in a meeting when he answered Ayla’s call and all the people present were surprised to see his reaction over the phone. For all they knew, Gerard would never answer a call during business meetings and what’s worse, he smiled?

They all held their breaths seeing his change in attitude. He was like a warm dotting husband a few seconds ago but now, he was like a fury furnace and all the executives weren’t even sure which was the real him.

“Whoever that person was must be priceless to be able to make the king of country C smile..” one of the executives whispered to himself.
