Omer’s pov:
The worst feeling is when you are thirsty and the water comes close to your lips but you are unable to pass the water past your lips is the worst feeling ever but the feeling I am in is a thousand times worst than that because Scarlett fell into unconscious again due to my sister’s loudmouth.
I can’t yell at her because Scarlett is zayreen’s friend first and she doesn’t know my hidden feelings for her friend and I don’t want to express anything in front of her. Zayreen is an unofficial news reporter who will spread any news anywhere so I should control my irritation and anger.
“Oh my God, what did I do? Sorry so sorry” zayreen started crying seeing Scarlett unconscious.
” you should have kept your mouth shut for a minute Red. See what have you done.” Eli said angrily glaring at zayreen.
” shut the fudge up blondie, I didn’t mean that to happen” zayreen jabbed at eli glaring at him equally.
“Will you guys shut your mouths for a minute? We need to call the doctor” lilly yelled making both idiots to shuts their mouths.
” don’t worry I already pressed the emergency button. The doctor will be here at any minute” I said gaining their attention.
They looked at me thankfully. I slightly glared at zayreen showing her that what she did was rash. Zayreen bowed her head down with tears in her eyes. I know she didn’t mean anything like this to happen but she would have not uttered anything in front of Scarlett.
” excuse me guys, will you all please wait outside?” Dr Andrew said seeing Scarlett unconscious.
We all nodded and left the room. I just hope Scarlett will open her eyes soon.
I excused myself to make a phone call. I want to know what happened after I left the office. Dr Andrew said that Scarlett has a wound behind her head and it was caused because something/ someone had hit her with a hard object. Her ribs are broken as someone has intentionally kicked. Everything seemed like an attack not like an accident.
When I reached the stairs Scarlett is lying at the end of the stairs in a fetal position. If she had stumbled down the stairs then she hadn’t been lying in that position.
Everything is so much confusing. What did happen at the office?.
I called my security at the office building ” Hello, I want all the CCTV footage of the building not missing a single corner in five minutes” I barked at the phone and ended the call. They know very well to follow my orders.
I hope it’s an accident if not then no one is going to save the person behind this from me. I am going to skin alive the person who did this to my Scarlett.
I am a very soft and caring person but if someone harms my family and loved ones then I will become a beast no one expects me to.
I clenched my fists thinking about someone harming Scarlett intentionally. I am not going to share their life. I am going to hunt that person from wherever it may be. If I have to pull out from the hell then I won’t hesitate to go to hell.
They tried to harm the person I want to protect with my life. Scarlett is the hope in my life and someone dared to crush that hope. They better hide before I began my hunt.
My murderous thoughts were interrupted by my mobile’s buzz ” Hello, Hmm okay, I am coming”. I ended the call and went to meet the person waiting in the parking lot with the CCTV footage.
“Good evening sir, here is the laptop I saved all the footage in a file,” the security guard said handing me the laptop.
I took the laptop nodding at him and leaving him in the parking lot. I went to the waiting room and Locked the door from inside. I don’t want any disturbance while watching the footage.
I boosted the power button and waited for it to start. My nerves are jumping in my head ready to burst with anxiousness. I clicked on the file named under CCTV and there are a lot of clips in that file with date and time. I clicked on the day of the incident and forwarded it to the time when I left the office.
There is nothing suspicious so far in the recording but suddenly a figure appeared on the screen wearing big sized clothes hoodie and a cap, trying to hide the identity. I narrowed my eyes and moved closed to the screen to take a close look at the person on the screen. There is no clue stating who the person may be, it is difficult to even identify the gender.
Suddenly, the light got cut off at the floor, and darkness surrounded the floor and Scarlett is still on the floor. The hooded person climbed the stairs trying to avoid the CCTV and elevator cameras.
I clicked on the floor’s clip but there is nothing to see due to the lack of light. I focused my eyes on the screen wanting to see anything, suddenly I saw the hooded figure pushing Scarlett from the stairs. My heart clenched painfully seeing Scarlett helpless stumbling down the stairs. Her each jab pierced me and I felt her pain through the screen. I paused the video and zoomed in and I found what I am searching for.
The person better prays and hides that I didn’t hunt them down. It’s going to be fun playing with them. A smirk formed on my lips thinking about the things I am going to do to hurt that person. ” I am going to pull you out from the hole you are hiding in just 24 hours,” I said loudly chuckling darkly.
I left the waiting room taking the laptop with me. My priority is to check first if Scarlett is fine or not. I handed the laptop to security and went to check up on Scarlett.
Zayreen, lilly, and eli are still standing outside Scarlett’s room. ” what happened? Any news from the doctor” I asked them.
” no, the doctor didn’t leave the room yet. We are waiting for him to come out” lilly answered with worry evident in her eyes.
” if he is not going to come out of the room in one minute then iam going to barge in,” zayreen said scowling hiding her anxiousness.
” Stop exaggerating Red, if it’s not for you then we wouldn’t have nworrieding about Scarlett,” eli said with a frown.
” you, you ugh,” zayreen saturated pointing a finger at eli angrily trying to defend herself and finding her words to throw an insult at him but she knows that this time it is her mistake and she is guilty about it.
” you two stop your bickering, this is hospital and if you two don’t stop with your shit then the security going to throw you both out” lilly threatened them. They both shut their mouths and backed off.
I heard the door opening and turned my head towards the room Andrew Dr Andrew exiting the room with a nurse ordering her something
” Dr. Andrew, how is Scarlett doing?”
” is scar okay doctor?”
“gainhe gained her consciousness?”
We all attacked the doctor with our questions.
” calm down guys, miss Williams is fine and yes, she is conscious now and you all can see her but don’t stress her much,” he said, and with a smile left us.
” thank God scar is fine, I got scared when she blacked out,” lily said opening the door.
” Red, don’t open your mouth this time, okay” eli warned zayreen, and in return, she glared at him and entered the room. They all went into the room but I am still standing outside the door nervously clenching my fists.
I never want to feel the pain I felt when I thought I am going to lose Scarlett. After seeing that footage of her stumbling down the stairs and getting attacked in my office made me guilty and her culprit.
I am going to make the person’s life hell and make them beg me to end their life but no I will give a hundred times more pain which Scarlett felt.
It’s time to start the hunt for the prey. I smirked knowing from where to begin my hunt.
” Sorry Rose but I can’t face you right now, I failed to protect you and after hunting down the person who is responsible for your pain then I will face you” I promised silently looking towards the closed door.
Scarlett is like a rose who attracts everyone’s s attention and very delicate and beautiful. Rose suits her more than Scarlett and she is my Rose and I am going to protect her from the thorns surrounding her.
