Dirty And Dangerous Obsession

MONALISA POV.

Derek and I both roughly landed on the ground, and I was leaning on top of his body, with his two arms wrapped around me like a shield. Which hindered me from sustaining any bruises on the ground.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Bullets were flying all over. Groans and screams echoed everywhere and blood sparkled on the ground. More aimed men rushed into the garden, while the intruders fearlessly stood their grounds, firing bullets at each other

It felt like the world had come to an end right in front of my eyes. I was gripped with fear, as I felt my palms sweaty. But Derek swiftly rolled us over and I was beneath him instead. He gazed into my eyes, then traveled down my lips, and averted his gaze back to my eyes.

“Are you hurt?” He calmly asked with concern lancing in his voice, as he examined my facial expression.

I shook my head sideways, “What about you?” I asked, but instead of replying, he flashed me a smile.

“I will be fine. Now go, Doven is waiting outside.” Says Derek. Pulling away from my body, he glances around, expertly firing his bullets at the intruders, with his back facing me.

My gaze traveled all over his body, as I also stood up as well, but I felt like something was not right with him. He looks perfectly alright and full of life.

But I wasn’t convinced. I followed my instinct and walked behind and I was bewildered to see his backsuit soaked in blood at the side of his shoulder’s region.

“Derek, you are bleeding!!” I shrieked, bringing it to his notice. But he shrugged his shoulders and focused all his attention on the intruders. Ignoring me.

“Derek—–”

“Leave this place!!” He angrily snapped, shooting me a glare.

But that didn’t stop me from saying what I had in mind, as I confidently yelled in his face, “You need to go to the hospital, you are losing so much blood.”

He angrily stormed toward me in rage, and gripped my right arm, gazing into my tearing eyes. “Derek, please let’s leave here. I can’t leave here without you.” I cried, and rested my forehead on his chest, sobbing gently.

“Urgghh!!” I heard him groan in pure anguish. He unwrapped his grip around me and slumped to the ground, still groaning in pain. “Bunny!!! Leave this place this instant.” He groaned at me.

I quickly fell to my knees, right beside him, as tears covered my eyes vision. The fear of losing him struck me so hard on the head. “Derek… You need to go to the hospital.” I screamed at the top of my voice, stroking his arms. His suit was already covered with his blood.

“I promise, I will be fine. Just go away.” He said in between clutched teeth, as he tried to suppress the groan on his throat.

“I won’t leave you here, Derek.” I declined his request and tears poured down my eyes even more, as I shook my head in disagreement.

“Don’t be stubborn bitch! And just obey my fucking instructions.” He angrily pushed me away from him, while one of his men quickly rushed toward him and helped him up and they both walked away, leaving me behind without sparing me a single glare.

_Please don’t die, Derek. _

I stood from the ground and followed the path he showed me which led to the back door. Bullets kept flying all over non-stop and I tried my possible best to dodge some bullets that were sent in my direction.

I ran with all my might through a lonely path and almost bumped into Candy on my way. “Candy!” I screamed and threw myself on her body.

“Joanne… Are you okay?! Hope you ain’t hurt.” She pulled away and asked, as she examined my body, turning me around.

I shook my head, “I’m fine, but Derek was shot all because of me.” Fresh tears streamed down my cheeks as I lowered my head and softly sobbed. My shoulder rose and fell rapidly.

“Derek is strong. You shouldn’t worry much about—–”

“Gardy?!!!” We both heard someone call her name, and I thought it was Doven who decided to come into the garden to pick me up himself. but to my shocking dismay when we turned to the direction of the voice, it was Micheal who called and he began striding toward us.

_What the heck is he still doing here? I thought he left already. _

I veered around and saw Candy’s jaws drop and her facial expression was mixed with fear and shock. “What the heck!!!” She muttered beneath her breath but I heard her still.

“Candy? Do you know him?”

She quickly grabbed my wrist, “Let’s leave here.” She rushed her words and pulled me along with her in haste.

Suddenly Micheal came close and held her wrist to prevent her from going any further. Candy angrily let go of my wrist and lashed his face with a painful slap which ended up giving him a cut on his lips.

She veered to me, held my hand and began walking away again, but Micheal made another attempt and held her wrist again.

We halted as Candy’s chest rose and fell in a rage and she shot him a murderous glare. And I wondered why.

I couldn’t comprehend why she was acting this way and that clearly meant, she might know him. And I didn’t miss to notice that glint of recognition in his eyes; Like he had known her for ages.

“I just want us to talk.” He cleaned off his bloody lips with the back of his palm.

“We have nothing to talk about, Micheal.” She screamed at his face like a crazy woman. Instantly I assumed that he might be the father of Idris, so I decided to excuse myself to let them talk things out.

“Candy, I will wait for you over there.” I pointed to a nearby pole which wasn’t far from where she stood. But she didn’t utter a word to me but I took her silence as a ‘go ahead’. And I excused myself.

After a long silence, Micheal decided to speak first.

“You have been in Italy all these years? Gardy.” I heard him ask her, but she rolled her eyes, crossing her arms under her breasts.

“Why are you here.” She asked plainly. Even when it was seen in her eyes that she wasn’t comfortable with the conversation.

“Boss Don, has been searching all over for you. Now that I know where you are hiding, I will call him right away.” He retrieved his cell phone from his pant pocket and quickly placed it on his ears.

At the mention of ‘Boss Don’ I knew instantly that he was referring to Dominic, and my ears sprang up in rapid attention. But did I just hear him right? Is Dominic searching for Candy? How is that even possible?

Candy rushed toward him and yanked his phone away from his grip before he could utter a word. And smashed it on the ground with her heels. “Fuck you! Fuck Dominic Kin Senero!!!!” She yelled with anger lingering in her voice, as she pushed him on his shoulder.

Goosebumps covered my skin, as she screamed out Dominic’s full name. I was thunderstruck for a while, as I couldn’t believe these were unveiling in front of me. It was all clear now to me that Candy knew Dominic and there is more to It.

Micheal fisted his fingers in rage, hastily grabbed her hair, and twisted it roughly. “You son of a bitch!!!” Candy let out an ear-deafening scream, as she began to struggle to get off his grip.

“You bitch, how dare you?!” He slapped her across her face, which instantly triggered my rage.

“Let her go…!” I rushed toward him to teach him the lesson of his life. Even If I know I might not be strong enough to face him, at least Candy and I can beat him up to blur.
