"I'm not a bad person, don't scream," said the man while covered her mouth with his hand.
It wasn't long before a group of people appeared with weapons in their hand and started searching the area. Lani remained silent as tears flowed from her eyes, her heartbeat racing with fear. 'Oh God, why has my day been so bad?' Lani said to herself. She was trembling seeing those people who searched that area with guns.
After searching for a long time, they finally found drops of blood. "Here, I saw the blood marks!" said one of them and the others ran towards him.
That's when the masked man found an opportunity and dragged Lani toward one of the buildings on the edge of the beach, which is used as a changing room for swimmers. After entering, they closed the door, and that's when Lani had the chance to remove the stranger's hand from her mouth. She raised her head and looked at the man who made her day more difficult. She couldn't see his face because he was wearing a mask. "Who the hell are you?" Lina asked nervously as she looked at the man.
But before she got her answer, she was surprised to see the man fall and lose consciousness.
"Oh my god," Lani approached him and realized that he had been shot. She found two gun wounds one on his left shoulder and another in his ribs. "How is it possible that someone has been hurt this much and still found the strength to run like that?" Lani said to herself as she looked around for anything to help him. Her eyes landed on some clothes hanging near a building, and she got an idea.
She quickly took all of them and started to take off the man's shirt with shaking hands. After opening all the buttons, she was surprised to find a wide muscular chest that was slightly hairy. She shook her head to dismiss her thoughts and put on a big T-shirt on the man which she found inside after making sure that she had finished everything. Lani took off her cold jacket, then took the blood-stained shirt and put it inside her jacket. Lani took a deep breath, then moved to the door and looked out to make sure no one was coming in then she ran to the hotel.
"I'm sorry, can you please help me with something," said Lani to one of the hotel guards.
"What can I help you with, miss?," answered the guard.
Blond haired girl led him to where she left that man. When they entered the building Lani started to explain "My husband is so drunk that he lost consciousness, please help me take him to our room," She said, looking at the guard pleadingly.
The guard agreed and then bent down to begin carrying him.
"Wait!" Lani stopped the security guard from carrying the man because she was afraid that if he found out about the injury, he might report it to his higher ups, and therefore putting them in danger.
The guard turned and looked at Lani after being prevented from doing what he wanted to do.
"Um, I mean my husband doesn't like to be carried on the back. How about holding him one side while I hold him another side?" asked Lani.
The guard agreed willingly...
Meanwhile, back where Lani and masked man came from…
"Boss, we have tried to follow the traces of blood but we have not found his body yet, it seems that he fell in the water" one of the killers reported after receiving a call from their Boss.
"Don't tell me that you haven't found the body! I want his body at any cost, make sure you get it before the sun rise," an angry voice was heard from the other side.
"Okay, boss," he answered, and the phone was disconnected. He gave orders to his colleagues to continue searching.
On Lani's side, after being helped to bring the man into her room, she thanked the guard. Then she closed the door and quickly went to the closet where she put her things and took out the first aid box " I don't have any anesthesia, I will remove the bullet, just bear it for a while" she said as she took a small knife and carefully extracted the bullet from the man's shoulder and ribs. After finishing the procedure, she took a deep breath and then proceeded to clean the wounds with great skill, using water and a small towel she had prepared.
In the middle of the night, the man was startled as he found himself in an unfamiliar room. He noticed a beautiful girl curled up in a sofa and slowly got up from the bed and approached Lani, who was sleeping soundly.
"How can she sleep so peacefully when there's a stranger in her room?" he thought as he gently shook Lani's hand to wake her. But she suddenly jumped up with a wooden weapon in her hand, ready to fight back.
"So she has been prepared," thought the man, then slowly removed the mask that he was wearing, revealing his striking appearance that would captivate any woman. With beautiful blue eyes resembling the sea with a long eyebrows, slender lips, a sharp jawline and a shay nose, Lani was stunned after seeing the beautiful man whose face is familiar to her because she seen on the news a few times.
"Are you the boss of JJB International company? Mr. Liam?" Lani asked in disbelief. She even pinched her cheek to make sure it wasn't a dream.
