Business Marriage - The Box
Sound of breaking glass
What the... all of a sudden some fluid splashed onto my face and clothes! I looked at the driver and what I saw was his head bleeding and the window on his left shattered to pieces! HOLLY MOTHER! HE GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD HIS BLOOD ALL OVER ME!!
The car has lost its driver and became uncontrollable on the road, heading for the edge of the bridge.
My heart was beating so fast in my chest...
I could hear the sound of other drivers nervously beeping, yelling at me 'Idiot!' 'Watch it fool!' and rapidly hitting the breaks on the driveway to make way for my uncontrollable car.
For a few seconds I stood there paralyzed in panic and fear but then as I remembered that if I die now, I'll never again see YN's face, I quickly took control of the situation.
I reached out to the front and grabbed the steering wheel, putting the car back into the rode and away from the edge of the bridge. However, the speed was too fast so I had to get to the front seat so as to have access to the pedals.
While trying so hard to keep the car in the right side of the road, I extended my right foot and moved my body up. It was a little hard to get between the two seats but I somehow managed to do it (thank God I'm slim!). I sat on the seat next to the driver and slid my foot between his legs to gain control over the pedals. The car was under my control now.
The driver was covered in blood and I could see his brain all over my car. His blood was on me too, especially my face and hair.
But what the hell was that?
I'm sure what happened was no coincidence!
Someone must have tried to kill me... but who and why?
I decided not to report that to the police yet but return straight home. I got to handle the situation very carefully because if this gets out in the media, it's going to cause a huge scandal!
One thing I wonder... how would YN react when she sees me like this?
Would she get scared that I could have died? Or would she like it to be become a widow?
I really wanna know if she's grown to love me.
Her reaction will tell me.
Your POV
I saw Michael's car stopping in front of the house and I immediately left the kitchen work to quickly run to my husband and greet him like I do every night.
I left the house, taking the stairs down as fast as could. It's been only a few hours but I miss him already!
"MICHAEL!" I called his name while running but when he spun around to look at me and I ...
"MICHAEL!" I screamed in honor for my husband was covered in blood! It was all over his head, face, hair, hands, chest... "ARE YOU OK?" I run to him as fast as I could and held him in my arms then begun examining his body to search for injuries. His head was bleeding and I knew he got burnt once.. oh God if his head was hurt again, that could be fatal for him!!! I don't wanna think of a life without him! I don't even wanna live in a world where he doesn't exist!
"WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU OK!" tears begun streaming down my face and my body begun shaking uncontrollably. I felt my legs become so weak. He put his hands on my face
"I'm ok, YN, relax!" he wiped away the tears and held me tightly in his arms. "Don't cry, babygirl, I'm fine! Shhhh" he stroked my hair, rocking me from side do side to calm me down because I was shaking.
"M-Michael..."
"I'm fine but my driver isn't..."
"What happened?" I managed to ask through my tears.
"Someone shot him in the head..."
"WHAT?"
"I think someone is trying to kill me, YN! They shot him so that the car would crash.."
"Oh God! Michael.." I held him even more tightly. "We have to go to the police right now!"
"No."
"What do you mean no? You're in danger and... and I can't lose you! I'm afraid for you and I-I..." then he slammed his lips against mine to calm me down.
"YN, baby... you gotta trust me. Let's get inside I wanna take a shower and we'll talk."
While waiting for Michael to take a shower, I was thinking about us and our relationship or more specifically, my feelings for him.
I realized one thing after seeing him covered in blood, about which I haven't really thought in the past.
I've fallen in love with him.
I have really fallen in love with him and haven't even noticed when it happened. The thought of him being hurt or worse - dead - tore me to pieces like literally... it made me so sad to the point where I could sit all day in my room, isolated from the world, and cry... cry until there's no more liquid left inside of my body.
"Michael..." I got off from my seat as he entered the room. His hair was dripping wet because he just got out of the shower. The sweet aroma of his body filled the room and now there was no blood on his body and I saw he was completely fine, no injuries, I felt a little calmer.
"Baby..." he wrapped his arms around my back and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead "Please, calm down... I can't watch you like this."
"You almost died and all you think about is me?" he didn't reply but I could read in his eyes that he loved me very much... "What are we gonna do now?" I insisted.
"I'll tell the security to be more careful and precautious. Other than that, we'll wait and see."
"Wait and see?" I didn't like that at all "What if something bad happens to you while we wait? I don't agree with you this time... You're risking your life when all you have to do is go to the police!"
"Baby, please have trust in me.. I know what I'm doing. If I go to the police now, the ones who tried to kill me, will stop their actions until things get back to normal and then... in the moment we less expect, they will hit! And hit very hard..."
"But-"
"And let's not even mention the press will go crazy! They will follow me all the time and you too and-"
"Do you know who this might be? The person that wants you dead?"
"Yes..." I waited for his answer and then
"Well tell me!" insisted.
"I don't think you're gonna like it, YN..." he sat down on the bed and followed him.
"Why? I don't understand... Tell me please!" he sighed and I placed my had over his big one.
"Jacob..."
"What... Jacob? You think Jacob's trying to kill you?!" Jacob was indeed an idiot but trying to kill someone... that was too much and besides, he's never been violent before, I've known him for so many years!
"I told you, you won't like it!"
"But he... why would you think that?"
"It's very simple YN... he lost you.. to me. Now I'm married to you and he's not."
"Only because of that! No.."
"Oh yes! That's the perfect reason for him to want me dead. He tried getting back with you but you cut him off and now the only option he has is to get rid of me so I will no longer be a part of your life! You'll be free and then he'll be there for you, consoling you, and just before you know it... you'll be Mrs. Jacob!" I got up from the bed.
"Michael, you have a vivid imagination, do you know that?"
"See, I told you! I just knew it, you won't believe me..."
"It's not that I don't but... I've known Jacob for almost my entire life! And yes, he's a fool and stubborn and likes money but killing... No! He's not a murderer!"
"YN, I've been here more than you and have more experience with people and relationships! I'm telling you.. sometimes people are not what they seem to be! They pretend to be your friends and next thing you know, there's a knife stabbed in your back."
"This is in show business and we're talking about normal people which Jacob is! Moreover, he told me today he's got a girlfriend and that he no longer wants to cause trouble and that he has forgotten me! He even apologized to me and to you!" Michael didn't believe me at all.
"Listen, baby, I don't wanna fight with you. Let's change the subject..."
"Change the subject? No! We have to decided what we're gonna do!"
"I already told you what and I want you to be very careful! From tomorrow on wherever you go, there'll be a bodyguard with you."
"What!? I don't want no bodyguard! How am I gonna explain that to my father and friends?"
"That's not what's important. Your protection is my first priority and dammit I don't care what people think!"
"Michael..." I sighed.
"Let me tell you one thing... whoever tried to kill me tonight, they knew that I was in the car.. They're following me.. us! They know where we're going and when, therefore, please do as I say this time. I'm doing it for your own good." he got up and walked over to me, putting his two hands on my face to gently stroke it "Say you'll listen to daddy this time, girl.." he begun kissing my eyes "Please.." and begged. I had to stop this otherwise we'd end up making love and that was something I didn't wanna do tonight since I was angry and worried.
"Okay." I said "I'm tired, I wanna go to bed." I walked to the bed and laid down, covering my tired body with the blanket. He did the same thing and snuggled down next to me, placing his hand around my waist.
I understood he was scared for he almost died tonight and God knows I was more scared than him because I loved him so much but accusing Jacob of murder without any evidences was too harsh for me. I knew Michael didn't like him because I was in love with him and because I was going to run away with Jacob but that was too much. Jacob was not a murderer!
In the morning I got up and while Michael was taking a shower, I went to the kitchen to make breakfast and coffee. We haven't talked much since we got up because of yesterday... I just hope we will soon get to the bottom of this and things will get back to normal.
He walked in the kitchen and sat on the big, round table, waiting for me to serve his coffee as I would do every morning. I just loved taking care of him!
"Here's your coffee..." I said, placing the white cup in front of him on the table.
"Thanks." he replied softly. I grabbed my cup of coffee and sat on the table next to him.
We were silently drinking it when all of a sudden few of his bodyguards stormed in the house.
"Mr. Jackson... you gotta come right now.."
"What's going on?" he asked and they looked at each other, saying
"Well, you have to see..." I saw Michael's face became worried and he quickly stood up, heading for the front door. Few minutes later I regretted for not going with them, so I too got up and went outside to see what was going on.
I saw Michael and his security team gathered in a circle around some box. Michael had his mouth covered with his hand and all of their faces alarmed something bad was going on. I got scared and picked up speed. What was inside that box?
"Michael, what's going on?" as soon as he heard my voice, he turned around and said
"YN, don't look!" but it was too late for that, I already saw what was in the box.
"OH MY GOD! NOOO!" I begun screaming and shaking in honor.
"YN, it's ok baby! Calm down!" he took me tightly in his arms. I begun crying.
"Michael! Who did this? Why are they doing this to us?" I cried in his chest.
"I don't know... but I promise you, I'll find out!"
"This is a warning, Mr. Jackson.. someone's really trying to kill you!" I shivered even more at his words.
"I know" he said, squeezing me tightly "we gotta be really careful from now on.. One thing I can't understand... how did they managed to do it??!! With all the security and in my own fuckin' house!"
"Those people must be real professionals, Mr. Jackson."
"Oh God... YN, let me get you inside first and then we'll talk about it again, Bill..." he picked me up and carried me bridal style to the house.
Before he did that, I involuntary looked once more inside the box.
The image of the chopped in pieces body of our German shepherd won't ever leave my memories.
What kind of a person is capable of doing that?
