Chapter Twenty Three
Ophelia's POV
I let my eyes flutter open as I moaned, and tried to stretch my arms, but I couldn't move. I looked down at my body as I realized a pair of my favorite long arms were holding around me. It was splendid I had a nice sleep without waking up in the middle and end up crying. Probably, spending a good time with Keira was everything.
I could still reach my hands to touch hers as I giggled at the rings on her forefinger including mine. She was such a dorky. "What's so funny?" Keira asked as her wake-up raspy voice got my skin effectively erupted. I yelped when she suddenly slapped my butt, followed by her peppered kisses at the crook of my neck, and I squirmed with laughter at her ticklishness.
I shriek with laughter when Keira's hands held my waist, and she smoothly turned me to face her and pressed her lips to mine. We gently nibbled our lips as we pulled away, and I happily held her face with my thumb gently caressing her cheek as she did the same with her mesmerizing gray eyes looked into my eyes.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty," Keira chuckled.
I bit my lips and didn't bother to show her my silly smile, "What a sweet fairy tale that a sleeping beauty awakened by a gorgeous princess. I reached her hand with our rings I twirled the rings and asked, "Can I claim back my ring?"
"So, you want it back now huh?" Keira teased with a smirk.
"I'm sorry. I slipped it last time," I said with a sheepish smile.
Keira shook her head at me and said, "I'm sorry, it is mine now."
"No, give it back to me," I whined as she laughed heartily at me, and I gently pushed her and laid her back on the mattress. I crawled up as I straddle her abdomen and shot my powerful puppy eyes at her, "Please, that means a lot to us."
I run my hands around the smooth skin of her glorious body as she quickly held both of my hands securely and said, "No."
"Baby," I pouted my lips at her as I started bouncing my body on her, and she eventually laughed again and said, "Fine, you're killing me if you keep bouncing like that."
"Yay!" I squealed with a pump fist after she let go of my hands.
"You're such a kiddo," Keira said softly with a chuckle as she took off my ring from her finger, and I eagerly stretched my right hand toward her. Excitement overridden me when the moment she put the ring on me again and I happily looked at the plain silver band ring.
Keira easily pinned me on the bed as she hovered over me with a smirk, "Don't ever slip it again." Damn, the desire in her eyes was a hell of hot for me!
"Yeah babeh!" I said with a wink as I hook my arms around her neck.
One week later
We set an announcement for a new director, Keira for the hotel with managers of each department in a meeting room. It was a great trap to catch that low and jealous prick who got Keira in trouble. Deep down, we knew who that snake was.
Dad agreed and was happy with our plan, but he couldn't join the meeting since he need to take care of his body in the ward before ready for his surgery. I took a nice scan from Keira's head to toes from her back when she was walking in my front. She was practically a mannequin put on a class black dress and a pair of matching heels.
I was too proud I was doing my best role as her personal assistant since I was like her little fan following her behind, and admiring her strong and confident aura when we were entering the meeting room.
A mid 50 man with gray groomed hair and wearing a set of black suit I assumed was a lawyer, and the managers were quiet in this room, we took our usual seats like we always did in the meeting.
The lawyer looked around after he confirmed all the managers were in this room from us as he began, "Good morning, I'm the lawyer of Mr. Kendrick, and you can call me Roger. Since Mr. Kendrick needs to take a rest at the ward, I'm on behalf of him to make the announcement of the new director."
Every one started murmuring as Roger held a copy of the documentation and said, "There have two selected directors. They are Keira Harrisons and Ophelia Kendrick."
The room was filled with chatter and gasps as we expected, except for Morgan who was having a sly face since we saw him in this room. He was calm and looked determined, and he clapped his hands loud and clear. "Congratulations to the new directors. But, I'm afraid Keira is disqualified for that."
Morgan held a thumb drive as he let the people pass it around to the lawyer, and Morgan indicated the thumb drive and said, "At your service, sir."
Roger just complied as he put the thumb drive into his laptop. I knew whatever was a make-up story on the video, but I hate that bastard took this opportunity to humiliate Keira. I never liked this guy since the first day I saw him. I felt a hand covered on top of mine as I turned to look at Keira who was smiling at me with reassurance. I smiled at her in return as I sighed quietly and looked at the projector screen ready to display the video.
'You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down, down'
I burst out laughing as I looked away from the screen when the song was playing with the screen showing the slide of Morgan's photos with different chicks. Ew! I never wanted to see that disgusting stick again.
Everyone started making noises as Roger subtle not to cringe with the video as he tried to stop the video and looked at Morgan, "Could you explain what are you trying to share?"
Morgan's face turn red in anger as he pointed at Keira and snapped, "I dare you to prove what you did, bitch!"
"Is this what you're looking for, Morgan?" Keira smiled calmly as she held another thumb drive which was exactly the same as Morgan's thumb drive.
"It can't be, it can't be, it can't be! You motherfucker!" Morgan was screaming in rage as he quickly dug his hands into his pants pocket and said, "Watched me, I had back up the copies."
"Everyone is listening and the CCTV is recording whatever you're saying, and I can get all this evidence to put you in jail, Morgan," Keira warned.
"Shut the fuck up! You don't deserve this position, it is supposed to be mine!" Morgan yelled as he pulled out a gun from his pants pocket, and the room filled with screaming. A loud bang got everyone startled and keep quiet, I was shaking and Keira was holding me to her closely.
"Look who is the winner now," Morgan using a gun pointed at me as I whimpered and stuck closer to Keira, his laughter was scary and seemed like possessed by a ghost. He used the gun aimed around the managers in this room and said, "Get the hell out of this room if you guys want to live."
The managers and lawyer briskly walked out of the room as Keira and I were trying to leave, but he turned to use his gun to aim at Keira, "I never said you two can leave, get your ass back on the seat." He turned to look at the last person and fake a smile, "Close and lock the door, and thank you."
Morgan plopped himself on the chair as he used the gun aiming at Keira and me back and forth and clicked his tongue, "Look at both of you, how sweet. Who should go first? Whatever it is I will let you two live happily in the afterlife."
"If you want me to leave, I will go. There is nothing to do with her," Keira said as I felt her arms shaking while she was still holding me.
"How fast you can change your mind for your sweet little girlfriend, huh?" Morgan said as he was having a fake smile. "Let's play a game, and I will let both of you go if you win." He throw another gun in front of Keira and commanded, "Stop hugging your girl and get that gun." He aimed at me and Keira had to let go of me and did what he said.
"Have you ever heard of Russian Roulette? It was a good game," Morgan said and grinned like a creep.
"No, don't do this," I quickly stopped him and I shriek when I heard another gunshot from him.
"I'm not asking, I'm telling you to do or I will just shoot right at both of your heads!" Morgan warned as he chuckled and added, "There is one bullet in the gun, now start the game."
Keira's hand was shaking as she put the gun at her chin, she looked at me with assurance but I know she was afraid. She silently prayed and pulled the trigger with the voice of a click.
"Boo! How lucky," Morgan chuckled as both of us were relieved. "Now is this little blonde's turn."
I froze as Keira quickly said, "Let her go, I will finish the game!" Another gunshot voice and Keira screamed in pain and she quickly used a hand to press the wound on her left shoulder.
"Keira!" I cried out and I hold Keira and said, "I'll play the game. Don't shoot her anymore."
"So lovely, I change my mind. You come over to my side," Morgan said with a smirk that I wish to kick his ball. I rose my seat as Keira quickly held my hand to stop me.
"Do you wanna get a shot on your other shoulder, bitch?" Morgan raised his tone.
"I'll go!" I walked to his side and Morgan started scanning me up and down with a whistle and smirked, "Hurry up, or I will shoot that bitch." I had no choice but walked faster to his side as he grabbed my hand to tug me and I fall on his lap. He used an arm to hold my waist and he sniffed my hair got me cringed. I felt disgusted, but I couldn't let him shoot Keira again, I looked at her and I cried when I saw her face was pale and her shoulder was bleeding.
"So pretty, but you're such a waste. You followed the wrong team," Morgan said as he clicked his tongue. "I like this game, huh? Now finish the game alone."
"No, just let me finish the game, please," I sobbed and Morgan used the gun pointed at my temple and whispered near my ear, "Be quiet, or I will shoot your pretty head." I couldn't stop crying until my vision was covered by my tears. I silently prayed this bastard will leave us in peace.
I flinched a few times whenever pulled the trigger and it was a last shot for Keira with a bullet inside. I keep shaking my head and mouthed no at Keira, her hand was shaking.
"Are you gonna piss the chair? Any last word?" Morgan said and mocked a sympathetic face.
Keira turned to me and said slowly with a faint smile, "I love you, Lia." She looked at Morgan and scoffed, "Go fuck yourself!"
"Thank you," Morgan said sarcastically and barked in laughter, "Now shoot!"
Keira was looking at me with her teary eyes, and said close to whisper, "I will always love you, Lia, goodbye."
"No, no, no, no, don't leave me," I pleaded as I cried after hearing another gunshot.
A/N: That's it end of my story. Just kidding of course.
