I will Love You Forever - Chapter 99
Finally, the door broke down and I stumbled in because of the force I used to hit the door but when I looked up, I was greeted by a horrendous creature.
It had a long tail and was five times the size of a wolf. I could tell by its features that it belonged to the world family and from the movie I watched with Gerard even though the movie’s description was not half as horrendous as what I was seeing.
I couldn’t run nor could I scream because of how shocked I was. My heart pounded like a pistol hitting a mortar.
‘Oh God,’ I prayed silently as I searched the floor for traces of blood but found none.
‘Where is Gerard? I hope he hasn’t been devoured by this creature.’ I thought to myself scared that something may have happened to Gerard.
I began to walk backwards slowly but the creature turned to look at me with bloodshot eyes and I knew that I was done for.
Quickly, I tried to run away but the creature was were fast catching onto me before I could even turn.
It held my neck and pinned me to the wall. ‘Damn is this my last day on Earth? I haven’t even gotten the chance to taste all the flavours of Cold Stone creamery.’ I lamented and my eyes closed shut in pain as the hands of this wild beast choked me.
What’s the point of fighting back when I knew I stood no chance against such horrendous creatures.
Soon, I was out of breath and was hitting its hand to let me go. ‘Cold Stone Creamery!’
My violet eyes opened and it met the gaze of the creature. The creature’s eyes turned dark as though it was fighting a battle I couldn’t see.
Just then, I heard the sound of the door slam open and I was glad to know that I might get to taste the Cold Stone Creamery after all.
I rejoice but in the next moment, I was thrown across the bathroom and that was all I remembered.

Madison tracked the call the moment she heard Ayla’s distressed tone and knew that they were at the company.
She quickly grabbed her jacket and rushed to her car. “Why would he go to the office and act out like this?” she was worried that things may go south if she didn’t get there on time and sped as fast as she could even though she was breaking the traffic rules.
As soon as she got to the parking lot, she went straight into the company and went to the elevator. Asides from Gerard, none of the staff could use his elevator, not even Madison. She had to use the main elevator which only got to the forty-ninth floor.
The secretary tried to stop her but she didn’t listen and used the stairs straight to Gerard’s office and locked the door.
She could hear all the commotion from inside the office. It was a good thing that Gerard’s office was soundproof and no one can hear the commotion from outside. But even so, the floor was vibrating.
She hurried to the room and slammed the door only to hear a loud thud. Quickly, she fixed the curtain making the room completely dark once more. She then hurried to the bathroom and found Ayla on the floor and Gerard in an abnormal state.
She blinked twice not expecting him to be a wolf. She had thought that because of the curse, he would turn to a tree but what happened this time around? Why was it different?
Without wasting much time thinking about the details, Madison saw Gerard charging towards her and Immediately evaded and slid on the floor with one of her knees on the floor and her hand on the floor, trying to find her balance.
Her eyes turned golden as she stared at him angrily. She ran towards him but before she could get close, he waved his hands in the air hitting her and sending her across the room.
Gerard didn’t seem to be interested in Madison but rather, Ayla who was lying lifeless on the floor.
Ayla had hit her head but it wasn’t too severe. Madison hit some furniture and had blood at the corner of her lip. “F*ck you Gerard!” she ran towards Gerard who had his back against her again and jumped on him.
Gerard tried hard to get her off but Madison was like a small cockroach that wouldn’t budge.
Frustratedly, Gerard collided with walls around him to get her off or at least make her weak but she had the power of a horse.
The secretary contacted security because of Madison’s intrusion but the elevator got stuck on the thirty-second floor causing the security men to be trapped for a while.
Madison tried to teach for her pocket to take a syringe but with Gerard constantly hitting her to the wall, she couldn’t grab it easily.
Soon, she heard a knock on the door and could hear slightly the sound of security asking for the door to be opened.
She finally got the syringe and inserted the content into Gerard through his neck. A loud growl was heard and the windows of the bathroom cracked.
Gerard staggered for a while moving in a wobbly manner. Madison got off his back and dusted her hand without looking back until he finally fell to the ground and returned to his normal state.
“Sir I’m sorry but at the count of three we will have to break down the door to ensure your safety.” the security anxiously alerted.
“One… Two… Thr…” before he could complete his statement, the door cracked open and Gerard was seen at the other side.
His hair was neatly done and his clothes were neat. He looked rather fine. “Sir, we are sorry. The secretary informed us of an unknown woman who came in here without permission.”
“Um… That was my… Doctor. She was almost late.” he thought of so many things to refer to her as but came up with only one which he later regretted.
“Sorry to bother you sir.” they apologized and went away. Gerard sighed and closed the door. Behind the glamorous facade, Gerard’s room was a mess and his office suffered some damages as well.
There were books on the ground and papers as well. The vibration from the room caused the books to fall and his papers to scatter as well.
Hurriedly, he rushed to the room and found Ayla on the bed. She looked pale and he felt like his whole world was about to crumble.
“Her pulse is steady and she seems fine and I don’t think taking her to the hospital will be necessary,” Madison reported after sensing his presence.
She looked up at him and jerked back in surprise. “Jeez, why do you have that look on your face? It’s creepy.” Madison had never seen Gerard looking concerned or worried about anything and anyone before so seeing h like this now only made her frightened rather than concerned.
“No, she needs medical attention right now. I don’t trust your judgements.” He bluntly responded. He wanted to make sure that Ayla was away from danger even through he could hear her steady breathing from where he stood.
“Whatever. Qin should be here any moment from now. I already called him.” She responded with a pout.
Gerard sighed and nodded. He seemed to trust Qin more than Madison. “That’s better.’
“Tsk! And to think you just told the security that I was your doctor. What do you think would happen when someone hears that you said you don’t trust your doctor’s judgment?” Madison ranted for a long time after being compared to Qin.
Gerard said nothing and just stared at Ayla with folded arms. His gaze darkened and he could bear to look at her for another second.
He walked out of the room and back to his office where he stared at the wall and began to punch it multiple times until his hands began to bleed.
He breathed heavily but when he looked at his injured hand, it was completely healed. ‘What now? I’m not even allowed to get hurt?’ he wondered and sighed them sat on his chair. His fingers pinched the space between his brow and his tensed aura was obvious even though he tried so hard to conceal it.
Soon there was a knock on the door and he walked over and opened it. Qin was standing right there with his necessary equipment.
“Is it true? Did you change in the office?” he asked worriedly but that wasn’t the type of question Gerard wanted to answer at the moment.
“Dude! Why? What would have happened if your identity got revealed? What would…” he was still ranting when Gerard snapped.
“Don’t… Get me mad.” the veins on his forehead popped out and Qin swallowed.
“Who says I want to get on your nerves? I’m just wondering where she is.” Qin walked past Gerard and straight to the room as he was talking.
Gerard sighed and stood by the door as Qin examined Ayla.. He could bear to go in and cursed himself for being so reckless even to someone he claimed to love.
