Chapter 5 FIVE

The moment Adonis walked out of the room, Amy immediately followed him. She found it weird that he would just agree to take care of the hospital bills just like that without any ulterior motive. "Excuse me" she kept calling but the two men completely ignored her and kept going. "Hey murderer" she half yelled and Adonis finally stopped. Who the heck was she calling a murderer? When he turned, she was standing directly behind him and she looked so tiny compared to his tall frame. Zeth, who also found the girl interesting, didn't want to miss any chance of them bickering.

"Who did you just call a murderer, little fox?" He raised an eyebrow as he asked her. This was the first time he was willingly standing close to a woman and it was because she called him a murderer right?Zeth was amazed. "You obviously tried to kill me this morning" Amy almost rolled her eyes. "If you are here to say thank you, then it is accepted. Now go away" he made to go again but this time she held his hand back and for a split second she felt repulsed. She felt like she touched something forbidden and immediately she retreated her hand awkwardly. "Sorry" Adonis, who was surprised, was lost for words. Did this little fox just touch him? Did she have a death wish. This was one of the most amazing scenes of Adonis's life that zeth had ever seen, he just leaned on a pillar and kept looking. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to touch you like that" Amy immediately apologized but the man didn't say anything and just kept peering deep into her green eyes. "Who are you?" He asked out of nowhere and she was taken aback. "Amy" came her response. "Amy, don't ever touch someone like that again. Not everyone will take it likely" Once again she saw that void look in his eyes, the look that was filled with emptiness and even his entire aura was different from anyone she had ever come across before. "Can I leave now?" Adonis asked again, cutting into her reverie. "Why did you volunteer to pay for her hospital bills?it's not like we are well acquainted" Adonis smirked, he was truly intrigued by this fox. "What do you think?" He asked back. Everyone who passed was surprised to see the almighty Adonis Chernobog standing and talking with a mere girl when he usually ignored even the most gorgeous. "Do you want to sleep with me?" That was the only answer she could come up with, if now why would a man agree to pay that kind of money for someone he didn't even know. Adonis laughed lightly revealing his fine set of dentitions and zeth couldn't help but smirk, so Adonis could actually laugh like this? "Is that what you think?" "That's what I know, i usually see them in movies" she answered awkwardly as she bit her lips in nervousness. "Go and take care of your mother, little girl and stop watching a lot of romance movies. It is all fake and It doesn't exist in real life" saying that he turned around and walked away, not bothering to listen to her response again. Amy kept thinking about it even as she walked back to her mother's room, she was struggling to make a meaning out of everything, Rome was waiting for her by the door, the moment he saw her creasing her face into a frown he also raised his brows. "What are you thinking so intently about?" "I don't know Rome, I am still struggling to understand why that doctor agreed to pay for mum's medical bills" Rome sucked on his teeth for a few seconds, "do you think he will ask for something in return?he looks strange" "Well" she finally smiled," the good thing is that mum wil be operated upon. When the day comes and he asks for it back, we can always figure something out" "You are right, mum is awake now. She has been waiting for you" The two siblings went back into the room, one pushed the thought of Adonis to the back of his head while it kept lingering in hers. ......... Adonis finally breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of west side. He hated hospitals even if he was a renowned doctor. Zeth, who had been quiet ever since they left couldn't stop himself from smirking, even if he was as cold as ice, the scene that happened a moment ago was hilarious. "What are you smirking about?" Adonis asked when she saw the annoying smirk on his face. "I understand you are naturally a sad man Adonis but at least, let me smirk okay? After all, someone got you to laugh too" "Who?little fox?" "You even gave her a name, Adonis" Zeth was truly dumbfounded, "since when did you start mingling with people?" Adonis hissed, "are you tired of living?should I grant you your biggest wish?" "I will watch how this story unfolds" Zeth mocked before boarding the car, the coming days may be juicy. Who knows? ................................................................................................................................................ The time was ten in the night when Adonis sprang out of bed again, the dreams kept coming back no matter how hard he tried. As soon as he sat up, he dreaded the fact that a hand may pop out of the dark and hand him a glass of water but after waiting for a few seconds and no hand came, he was glad that zeth left him alone at least for the night. Standing up, he went to his closet and grabbed a pair of pants and shirt before grabbing a jacket. Going out now might do him good. When Adonis came downstairs, zeth was sitting quietly near the fireplace on his own chair. He had a glass of wine with him and he looked like he was deep in thought. "Don't you have a house?" Adonis asked him but the latter didn't bother to answer as he stood up. "I was waiting for you" came his dead reply. Not saying anything again, Adonis walked out of the house and zeth followed. ........ The city club was at its peak of life when the two sauntered in. There were a lot of people but they were all those who could afford to pay for a drink. City club is also known as the club for the rich, only the rich and affluent get to enjoy the benefits of the club. Some girls were clad scantily in the middle and were dancing while a few were sitting around some men. Adonis and Zeth just walked quietly to the bar and sat down on those two long tables. He didn't want to be in a place like this but he wanted to cool his head, not like he could get drunk or anything. "Welcome sir" the bartender greeted politely, "the usual?" "Yes," zeth answered as his eyes swept across the room. To him, the place was filthy but what could he do when Adonis wanted to come here? "Did you purposely come here just to spite me?" He asked after a while. "You volunteered to come when no one asked you too," Adonis answered, sipping his drink casually. He wasn't interested in what was happening, he just wanted to clear his head. "This place is even low compared to your status" "I am an ordinary doctor zeth, you are much More than me" The two of them stopped talking and just focused on their drinks until the face of a certain someone came into view. Did she also work here?. Amy away dressed in a pair of black skirt that reached her knees and a crisp white shirt neatly tucked into the skirt. Her hair was tied in a messy bun, maybe from working too much and she had an apron on her body.... Bartender female. His eyes followed her until she went to a particular table and dropped the shiny tray she was holding and conversed a little with the men on the table. When she wanted to leave, one of them grabbed her hand and this piqued his interest the more. He wanted to see what would happen. "What are you doing?" Amy asked the man in a disgusted voice ,no one has ever dared to touch her and now this man? "I have been wanting you since you started working here lady, why don't you give me a chance?" Amy scoffed In disbelief, "get your filthy hands off of me, you swine" Adonis scoffed, she was not only a little fox but a fiesty one at that. zeth who was not interested in the commotion before, glanced towards that place and when he saw that lady from earlier, he was also intrigued. "Quit pretending to be a saint lady.you work in this club so you must be one of them" he pointed to the strippers and Amy cringed. She just applied for the job today because she needed extra cash to pay that murderer back and now she has been sexually harassed. Where the hell is justice? The man finally let go of her hand and stood up but as he made to touch her again, Amy gave him the slap of his life. "How dare you?" By now everyone's attention was on them and some were already feeling pity for her. Did she know who she just slapped? "How dare you try to touch me?Do you think because this is a club, you can do as you please? "Do you know my father?I am the son of CK group and you just messed with the wrong person" the man sneered in anger, "I will teach you a lesson" "Won't you help your little fox?" zeth asked Adonis who was really interested in her personality. "She is old enough to take care of herself" he answered but his gaze was fixated on the shameless man. Before anyone could say jack, the man grabbed her hair and flung her to the floor. In the process of that, her button came off and her black bra came into view. "Succulent" the nasty man muttered to himself and made to grab her again but she used her heels on his stomach and he staggered back. "Kill that bitch" he half yelled immediately and his men set to work but then a loud voice resonated through the room. "No one dares lay a finger on her" Adonis was still seated where he was but all eyes turned on him while zeth kept smirking, a good show was about to start. "And who the fuck are you?" The nasty man who's name was Gerald asked and people in the room gasped. He didn't know he was talking to the famous Adonis chernobog? Amy was also surprised to see Adonis in a place like this. What was he doing here anyway?She suddenly became embarrassed and bit her lip. "If you are willing to die then touch her again" he warned, his gaze was dark and piercing, "come here Amy" he ordered immediately and she made to move but Gerald held her by the hair again as he stuck his tongue outside. "You know the consequences of what you are about to do right?" Zeth asked but the man didn't answer him and stood up. Taking three strides, he came face to face with Gerald. "Let her go" "And if I don't?" Everything happened within the twinkle of an eye, Gerald was on the floor and he was under Adonis's shoes screaming in pain. No one was bold enough to save him and no one was bold enough to even take a picture. Adonis Chernobog was one amongst the richest men in the country, no one dared to go against him. "The next time you touch a woman like that again, I will cut off your limbs and your libido" saying that he crushed Gerald one time harder and finally let go of him. His men immediately scurried over to him and whisked him away, everyone was amazed at what just happened. Amy wanted to say something but the man completely ignored her and went back to his seat. "Are you coming?" He grabbed his jacket. "Of course," Zeth answered. Under the gaze of everyone, the two men walked out of the club unbothered.
