Chapter 5 EPISODE 005 - Passed out

"Welcome aboard, Ms. Madison Taylor..." a flight attendant, which will assist us to our flight to America greeted me with a smile. Hades Williams is talking to the pilot who will drive his private plane.

You heard it right, Hades Williams owns at least 20 private planes because he thinks it's fun to collect things. That's how rich he is.

"Thank you," I said and took the champagne she handed me. She's smiling widely at me before she started taking things from the medkit beside her. I think she's planning to treat my ankle.

I don't mind it, it's swelling and I really need her assistant to ease the pain.

"Or... should I call you Mrs. Williams now?" Oh god, she doesn't have any idea that my wedding with Hades got canceled because I chose to run away because I can't remember anything.

"I'm sorry, I don't mind having you as my colleague on board, but you might want to be more formal when it comes to the people you are talking to on board," she said with a smirk. Her face is still pretty young and she looks very pretty. I'm hoping she doesn't look like my mom.

"I don't think it necessary," I mumbled and handed her some money hoping she will be happy with it.

She pocketed the money and took the champagne. "You know, the pilots of the Williams family are the best pilots of the tour companies, hence the Williams family is the best of the best. I have heard you are the best in the art of being..." she paused before she looked up at me. "So, no need to be formal. I would just call you Madison," she smiled before she handed me the champagne glass. "To celebrate the marriage!" she cheered. I just nodded before I sipped the champagne.

"Are you ready to go back to America?" Hades asked me with a sweet smile on his lips. I almost spit out the champagne in surprise.

"Excuse me?" I asked in confusion. "I can go by myself, you know," I said before I looked at the flight attendant.

"Alright, ma'am..." she said and excused herself to go somewhere else.

Hades Williams is here already and looking at me as if I am a puzzle that he couldn't solve. If it makes you feel better, Hades, I also can't solve what's happening to me right now. I just suddenly traveled time and I don't know how to return to the time where I am supposed to be. "Please go inside and I will attend to the plane first," he said and pointed at the small cabin. "You will change inside and I will let you know when we can take off."

I nodded and headed towards the cabin.

It's still hard for me to walk but I'd rather suffer some pain rather than wear this heavy wedding gown for the rest of the flight.

I still have a lot of questions and I really want to understand what is happening. But I think now is not the right time to worry about it, I just want to know if I am really safe with Hades Williams. He clearly was called the devil earlier, he managed to kill two people in just seconds, he has a lot of men working for him.

I think that's not some normal shit that rich people have. I think there's something more serious... more dangerous about it.

Is he... some kind of serial killer? Or does he manage an illegal drug transaction? Oh my god. Am I engaged with a criminal?

Relax, Madison. Don't think things like that. You shouldn't just judge Hades just because you don't understand what is happening right now.

"Are you done?" I heard Hades voice from outside the cabin. Just the same way, I spoke to someone that was calling me.

"Y-yes," I replied.

"Good, come out now!" he called once again.

I opened the door and he grinned at me. "How does it feel to be back in time?" he asked me before he took the champagne glass I was holding before he smiled. "I'd like to join you tonight but I have a lot of work that I have to take a look right now."

"But... we are in a plane right now. Is it really the best time for you to work?" I want to start asking him questions and it's not good if he will work right now.

I need answers!

"Hmm, do you want to talk about why you run away from our wedding?" He raised his brows playfully at me.

Oh no... I still don't know if he will believe me if I tell him that I time traveled and I don't have any idea how come we are engaged and getting married. Oh god, I don't want to explain myself and I don't want to explain that I don't know how this happened to me right now.

I don't want to explain why I traveled back in time and I don't know how I am supposed to explain I can't remember anything.

"Oh, I think not," he said and took the champagne. "I'll go take a look at what's going on in my company. I'll send Samantha here to prepare food for you."

I nodded and he left the cabin. I looked at the champagne glass and I felt that I need to drink it.

I just need a moment to drink it and then I will stop worrying. It will make me feel better even if I don't remember any of what happened.

I took the glass and lifted it to my lips.

Lighting came too fast to my eyes.

Before I understand what was happening, I had my glass on the ground. I fell to the ground with a thud.

Something holds me back on my knees before I hit the floor. I look at my left hand. It's slathered in blood.

"Madison!" A voice called and everything just went black.
