The Tim Corporation, Paris
02:00 noon
THE P.O.V. Noah
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?"
Noah shouted furiously as he grabbed Mr.'s collar. Tim and strangled him.
"T-Please P-Trust me p-me..I don't-don't-know d-where they're m-carrying their m-" Tim answered as he struggled to breathe.
As soon as Noah heard those words, he hit him hard on the wall and started squeezing his neck.
"I've firmly told you not to let anyone take Emma with him, YOU PIG-HEADED DOG... HOW DARE YOU FIGHT ME AND SELL IT!!! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THAT? SAY SOMETHING, GODDAMN IT....WHO IS THAT BASTARD?", he growled furiously.
"Master, please calm down. We can't find him this way," Leon interfered while trying to calm him down.
"THEN WHAT SHOULD I DO?", Noah growled ferociously making him flinch.
"I TOLD THIS PIG TO KEEP EMMA SAFE, BUT SEE WHAT HAPPENS? NOW EMMA IS GONE AND I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WILLIAM!!! WHAT WILL I TELL THE BOSS? SPEAK!!!" Noah yells angrily and hits Mr. Tim with anger. He fell to the floor and coughed up blood. Noah floated above him and began to punch and slap him nonstop.
"TALK YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHO CAME TO YOU TO TAKE IT? I SWEAR TO GOD, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK, I WILL SKIN THOSE DISGUSTING SKIN AND GIVE IT TO MY DOGS!!! SPEAK OUT?"
Leon tries to stop him but Noah is stubborn. Once they come here, Noah understands that he has been tricked because there is no trace of Emma anywhere. When he tried to inquire about her from his Boss, Mr. Tim, he tells her that there is a man who came looking for Emma but she soon runs away. Since then, there has been no trace of it. When Noah tries to inquire about the man, Tim continues to deny that he doesn't know his name.
Which is not true at all....
"Sir, he's going to die" Leon tries to grab his arm but Noah pulls his hand away.
"SPEAK!!"
Suddenly, Mr. Tim hit Noah in the face so he fell to the floor. Noah got up and almost hit him when....
*Shots*
"O MY GOD!!"
They were all shocked when Tim shot himself in the head and instantly died.
"What-why did he do that?" Leon looked at Noah with fear. Noah looked at Mr.'s corpse. Tim sharply and running fingers through his blonde hair in frustration.
"He was a spy."
Catherine and Leon: WHAT???
They became surprised and continued to look at him with wide eyes. Noah snorted in annoyance as his phone suddenly shook.
He checked the call identity. An unknown number appeared on the screen. He raised the call.
~OTP
Noah: Hello
"Not getting anything, Agent?"
Noah clasped his fists tightly as soon as he heard a mocking hoarse voice at the end there.
Father: William
William's dark laugh made Noah even more furious than before.
Noah: So, he's your guy?
He spoke in a dark tone.
William: What are you thinking?
He said in a mocking tone.
Noah: So, you've known where he's been all this time?
He spoke firmly with clenched jaws. William laughed giggling.
William: Right, Agent. Do you all think that I have left my beloved in your hands? No. gabe...No, not at all, Agent...Emma is MINE...JUST MINE...Only I can have her, touch her, see her, smell her, feel her, PROTECT HER. You think that after imprisoning me, you will steal my doll...Wrong move, officer, you know that I can feel his movements with my eyes closed as well. I don't know how much Rebecca, your filthy agent, has influenced my little elf, but don't worry...Now he's back with me, the Prince.... And I assure you, this time I won't let you all steal him from me. This time, I not only have my eyes on her, but also mine on you...
Noah suddenly froze in place when he heard the beep.
"QUICK RUN!! THEY'VE PUT A BOMB IN THIS BUILDING!!!"
Noah and Leon immediately jumped out of the window.
*Detonation*
The entire city trembled as a huge explosion occurred which rapidly devoured the entire building. Large black clouds began to erupt upwards, slowly turning the blue sky into obsidian.
Noah cried in pain as his right hand broke. He turned to his right only to find Leon lying unconscious on the hard ground.
"K-Catherine!"
Noah looked around his eyes, but he could not find it. He panicked when he realized...
"He burned alive."

~The next morning
8:30 am.
The Knights Heritage, Italy.
THE P.O.V. Emma.
I sat quietly in front of a large mirror while the stylists decorated myself. Two of them were arranging my hair while the other two were putting on makeup.
I want to scream, run, and fight. I don't want to be here. I don't want to live with him. I don't want to be in this relationship anymore. I want to go back to my parents.
I miss my parents...
I miss Rebecca...
I miss Jennifer...
I hate William...
I hate it with all my heart...
Tears kept welling up in my eyes, but they kept wiping my tears away with tissue. One of the stylists looked at me with pity and sighed.
"Sorry, don't cry. Your makeup will be broken" she said, looking at me with a look of sadness. I looked at him with teary eyes.
"T-Please a-I," I began to sob because I couldn't control myself anymore. I can't stand this pain anymore.
I was hurt, I was hurt deep.
The man I once loved so much is now the cause of my suffering. I can't forget how he treated me like an animal. How he beat and tortured me, tortured me, tortured me. The more I remember, the harder I cry.
"Sorry, please. Master will kill us," he asked as he gently stroked my back.
Suddenly my eyes fell on his jacket pocket.
A phone?
My eyes glittered with joy. I immediately held her hand while she looked at me confused.
"Can you lend me your phone?" I pleaded as tears continued to slide from my eyes. He looked at me with fear.
"J-Don't, Mistress...I - I can't. What are you doing," she was shocked as I knelt down and put my hands together in front of her.
"I beg of you. Help me. To God, help me" I begged desperately, crying out loud. He looked at me gently.
"But, Master will kill us" he whispered while holding my shoulder as he squatted near me.
"He won't know. I just need a minute. Please." please."
He turned his gaze down and started to think deeply. I immediately grabbed his hands tightly.
"Please, just one call."
He looked at me, then saw another. They all nodded and quickly locked the door. He unlocked the phone and gave it to me.
"Sorry, call me in the bathroom."
I nodded and immediately rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.
I'll call my dad right away.
*dreaming*
*dreaming*
~OTP
Emma: Dad!!
"Yes, Son"
My heart stopped as soon as I heard her voice.
William!!
But how is this possible??
I held the phone tightly with my fingers trembling as I was in a state of shock. I can't say anything. The words were pinched in my throat, scared out of my lips because I did not understand what had just happened.
I nodded as soon as I heard her laugh.
William: So, you started calling me Dad. Hm... I see, my Emma has gone rogue.
He spoke in a raucous voice while feeling a cold wind run down my back. Suddenly he ended the call to confuse me. In a hurry I came out.
I was amazed to see the horrible sight before me.
All the girls were covered in pools of blood. The person who had lent me his phone was killed inhumanely. He was strangled to death and at least five shots hit his chest breaking open. I wanted to vomit, but I just kept staring at them in fear because it was something that couldn't possibly happen.
I didn't hear any gunshots or screams, so how did this happen? I was only in the bathroom for two minutes, then when did this massacre happen?
As I was dissolved in my mind, I was suddenly shocked when I felt a hot breath blowing in my ear.
"Emma"
I screamed and jumped in fear.
William immediately grabbed me by grabbing my waist and pulling me closer to him.
"Again planning to escape, little girl?" his hiss with clenched jaws while looking at me with reddish eyes
I can't speak because I'm too scared. He looks very angry and scary. I started crying because of fear.
"Please let go of me... I don't want to stay here. Leave a-"
"SILENCE!!!"
I was shocked when he shouted at me fiercely. I looked at her in fear, but I screamed as she beat me violently against the wall.
"DO NOT. EVER. YE. . THINK ABOUT IT."
He hissed with gritted teeth, pressing on my arm hard. I screamed in pain but shouted back.
"NO!!! YOU MONSTER!!! YOU MURDERER!!! YOU-AHH!!!"
My entire body was blown to the floor as he hit me with the back of his hand violently. He crouched down near me and grabbed a lump of my hair violently.
Never dare to talk to me like that. You're back trying to leave me. You're trying to betray me. Wh why? How dare you do that? SPEAK!!!"
He kept pulling my hair cruelly. My scalp started to burn like hell. I groaned in pain as she made me stand up while pulling my hair.
"T-PLEASE DO-AHH!!"
I tried to release a strong grip on my hair because my scalp burned too much. He let go of his grip and grabbed my face. I started to feel dizzy and exhausted because I was crying so much.
"I won't let you this time. I still treat you easily, but you keep messing with me. Now I'm not leaving you. You really deserve punishment, doll."
My eyes grew bigger as I looked at her red eyes.
"Hu-Hurm-AHH!!"
William didn't let me finish my words as he started dragging me out like an animal. I was wearing a soft dress that made it difficult for me to walk up the stairs. But William kept dragging me like a rag doll. He dragged me along the corridor. I continued to cry and scream as she pulled me violently. My arm must have been bruised because of such a strong grip that was extremely painful.
When we entered the room, he threw me on the floor violently.
I looked up.
It was a library.
The bookshelves one by one fell down and the books were scattered on the floor. I turned around and saw William looking at me furiously. But I shouted as he started pushing all the bookshelves one by one and spread all the books onto the floor. He took the antique vase that was on the table and threw it near my feet making me jump in fear.
"WILL-WILLIAM! STOP IT!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
I kept shouting but he kept ruining all the books and stuff violently, turning the well-kept library into a mess.
There are about three thousand books neatly arranged inside the newly painted ebony cabinets and shelves glittering. But the mad beast pushed everything with its overwhelming power, ruining everything perfectly.
After about an hour of his madness, he walked up to me furiously while I was still sitting on the floor watching him in fear. He was completely drenched in sweat and his breathing was breathless.
He grabbed my throat and hissed near my lips while looking at me sharply.
"You're gonna clean up this mess. This is your punishment. I want this place clean when I get back. You are not allowed to eat or drink until this place is as neat as before. If you dare to go out without tidying up all the books, be prepared to face my anger."
I kept looking at him with fear. Then William put his lips on mine and gave me a deep kiss. He pushed me down and got up. Then he looked at all the guards and maids who saw everything with their mouths locked.
"If I see anyone who helps him, then I make sure to dig your grave with my own hands" he hissed fiercely as he stared at them in anger. They nodded with fear. Then he threw a murderous gaze at me and left angrily.
As soon as William left, I burst into tears.
"I don't want to stay here. I want to die. Please, somebody help me"
I kept crying while sitting on the cold floor helplessly.
End of P.O.V. Emma.

~Time Skip
02:30 noon
Emma's been cleaning up the library for the last six hours. He was really tired and walked with heavy steps while carrying the pile of books in his hands. There were many books and the poor girl had trouble tidying up on her own. All the cabinets and shelves were already vandalized, so he just put the books in one corner. The fragment of the vase broken by the madman was still lying on the floor. The servants and guards continued to watch the poor girl with sympathy and guilt.

04:30 pm
P.O.V Emma's.
"Yah!! I can't-can't," I put my head on the wall because my throat feels dry. I'm too thirsty. I starve to death. I'm running out of energy. My head was spinning very badly and my stomach was rumbling. My legs got wobbly and I slid to the floor while holding the wall to hold on.
"Ma'am"
I stared up with half-opened eyes only to see a man wearing a black suit looking at me worriedly.
He crouched down and gave me a glass of water.
"Ma'am, drink this."
He put his hand on my shoulder, calming me down. I looked at him in shock.
"T-No, he'll a-will m-kill you."
I couldn't speak because I was breathing. I jumped in shock as she placed her hand on her shoulder to calm me down.
"Don't worry, ma'am, you need to drink water. Your face is pale. You're gonna faint. Please drink."
She spoke softly while looking at me gently. My eyes filled with tears. I nodded my head with a smile and took the glass from his hand. My hands were shaking so much, so he put his hands on my hands and helped me drink.
I was so thirsty that I swallowed the entire glass of water in just a few seconds. I closed my eyes in relief and breathed.
"Thank you so much this-"
*Shots*
I screamed in fear as a bullet pierced his head and sprayed his blood all over my face. The glass fell out of my hand as I stared at the corpse lying in front of me with fear.
I tried to touch her with trembling fingers when suddenly someone pulled me with force from my wrist.
I looked up.
"I told you not TO FIGHT ME, DIDN'T I?"
William shouted while strengthening his grip on my wrist, making me groan. He suddenly appeared in front of me like a ghost. I was speechless and kept looking at him with frightened eyes.
Then he slammed me against the wall and grabbed me by the throat, choking me. He tilted his head like a madman and smiled horribly while wiping the blood from my face with his hands.
"Are you ready to face my anger, dear?"
