PRISONER CRUEL CEO

Chapter 16

"Can't be like this." Lion got up from his seat. Grabbing his great white coat, then stepping out of the door in a hurry.

Lion's steps are getting faster down the hospital corridor. Not to the patient's room, but out of the building.

The man was so rushed, that he did not look around and subconsciously bumped into someone.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly Lion's steps stopped. He looked at the figure of the woman who was now resting on the cold floor of the hospital.

Lion crouched down slightly as he reached out his hand, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, yes. Thank you." Thank you."

Lion's body stiffened with wide eyes, his lips as if stiff to speak. The figure before him looked confused. A little tilted his head looked at Lion.

"Are you okay, doctor?" the statement managed to resuscitate Lion from his shock.

"I-iya." Lion replied briefly with a whack of nervousness, making his body stiff.

Slowly Lion helped the figure before him to stand up. Lion turned his gaze avoiding eye contact with the figure before him.

"We meet again, doctor." said Risya. The woman smiled so warmly, slightly suspiciously looking at the man who blatantly avoided eye contact with her.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah, yes. Nice to meet you, Madam." Lion replied, smiling awkwardly.

Risya smiled sincerely on her lips, making Lion subconsciously want to raise his hand to touch the face he so longed for.

'hold, Lion. Hold it, ' Inner Lion bit his lower lip.

"Are you busy, doctor?" ask Risya.

Instantly Lion flinched, then shook his head slowly.

"Can we talk?" both Lion's eyes blinked in question.

Talkin?

Wh-wh-what for?

He couldn't stay any longer beside Risya. He could not bear to not embrace the tiny body.

"Is this about your Grandpa's health? Unfortunately, I'm not the one who knows that, Madam."

Risya shook her head, "I don't want to discuss that. But, something else."

The words successfully made Lion wonder.

Does Risya know if it's him?

"If you are busy, I will not force." said Risya again when he saw the look on the face of Lion who thought so hard.

"Then, let's walk while discussing the thing you want to talk about" Lion said.

Risya smiled, then stepped hand in hand in the hospital corridor.

A moment of silence ruled over the two men. No one made a sound, only footsteps could be heard filling the not-so-crowded corridor.

"I came here to check Grandpa's condition for the last time" Risya said suddenly.

Lion simply nodded, "so how is your Grandfather doing now?"

"It's been better than before," Risya replied slightly glancing at the face of the man beside her who seemed to be thinking.

Lion stopped his steps. Looking back, where Risya stood looking at him.

"What what what, Madam?" asked Lion approaching slowly towards Risya, "You okay?"

"Have you forgotten about me?"

Lion's body froze. Both of his eyes widened with continued to gulp roughly his saliva.

"Ah, maybe because it's been over twenty years. So you may forget," said Risya chuckled softly while scratching his non-itchy cheek.

'He ... remembers me?' inner Lion wondered.

'But it's impossible. At that time Risya could not see, Lion turned his gaze in the other direction with a sad face.

"We met at the hospital when I finished the surgery. It's been a long time, so it's only natural that you forget." again Risya chuckled softly saying that sentence. Unaware of the change in facial expression of the interlocutor.

"Ah, that one. Yes, that's right." said Lion pretending to know.

Risya smiled with her head lowered, "in that case, I leave first. Looks like Grandpa's done."

There were actually many things that Risya wanted to say, but somehow it felt so difficult for him to say.

Lion simply nodded in response. Stay still as Risya started to step past her body.

Lion rubbed his face rough with a sense of tightness. He's a cowardly man.

"Lion!"

Lion instantly turned his gaze to the source of the voice when he heard someone calling his name. Staring at the figure of Revan who is now stepping closer with a face full of questions.

While in front of the elevator, Risya stopped his steps. His body was pecking, looking back with his heart racing.

"Lion?" lirih Risya looked at the two men who were seen chatting not far from his place.

***

The body of a man full of wounds fell helplessly on the cold shed floor. The man attempted to crawl away from the figure that looked at him flatly.

"Huh." The Emperor sighed harshly looking at the man who was becoming an outlet of his anger. He seemed to care less even though his hands were full of blood.

"Bram." call the Emperor, Bram is approaching quickly.

"Yes, sir." said Bram, who was now standing beside the Emperor.

"Take him to the hospital." the Emperor turned to get out of the old barn.

"Good, Sir."

For a moment the Emperor stopped his steps in the doorway. A glance at Bram who was helping the man to stand up to easily wipe him out of the warehouse.

"Tell your boss, Emperor Argantara awaits his arrival. If he is not present in front of him tomorrow, then we will see how he can maintain his company." said the Emperor sharply, then stepped away.

The emperor entered his car. Drive the four-wheeled vehicle out of the old warehouse area that is not managed.

I don't know where he's headed tonight. The Emperor only wanted to be alone, to calm down because he could not meet the figure he wanted to meet.

"The woman ... is she asleep?" the Emperor muttered with a straight look to the road.

Tomorrow~

Adelia woke up from her sleep. Sit down slowly with occasional yawning.

"Are you awake, Miss?" said Lora who just came out of the bathroom.

Adelia smiled sweetly, then nodded her head. Get out of bed to get ready for work.

Fifteen minutes later.

Now Adelia is ready with her maid outfit. Gets a glimpse at Lora who tidied up the bed.

"You go out first. I will tidy this up" said Lora when she realized that Adelia intended to approach.

For a moment Adelia was silent, then nodded in understanding. Step out of that room to start her work.

'The wound is not too painful, ' Adelia's mind continues to step until she arrives in the living room.

'I'd better start from here.' he said inwardly, intending to start. However, his intention came to a halt when startled by a figure suddenly sitting on the sofa.

Adelia jumped out of place. Both of his eyes widened with fear re-spread throughout his body.

"Argh, shit! My head is a little dizzy," the Emperor lamented his temple.

The man slightly looked down at the sofa he was sitting on at the moment. Unknowingly he slept on the couch last night.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes when he found someone standing not far from the sofa. The gazes of the two met, making Adelia's body tremble violently.

"Curtain!" The emperor moved from his seat. Stepping closer to the stairs without intending to turn to the figure who was now frightened and did not dare to look up at him.

'Oh my God, keep going don't stop.' Adelia prayed.

His breath was stuck in his throat when the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard in his ears.

"You ..."

Adelia desperately tried to resist the trembling of her body. Gripping firmly his clothes without daring to look up.

"Prepare my clothes. I want everything to be available on the bed when I get out of the bathroom." the Emperor sauntered away without caring for Adelia's answer.

He didn't even care if she wanted to or not. He obviously wanted his clothes ready.

On the other side.

Two men were seen looking up at the hospital corridor, not caring about the people passing by around them.

"What are you doing here?" lion asked the figure before him.

"I want to talk to Big Brother" Logan said with a flat face.

"Go to Princess Revan's room, Demian."

"Well." said Demian without much talk, waltzing away leaving his father and Uncle.

A moment after Demian left, the two men were both silent. No one spoke or intended to leave the corridor and go to a deserted place. The two of them just kept silent and stared at each other.

"You lied to me" said Lion suddenly, clenching his hand.

Logan was silent, returning the gaze of the Big Brother who was so sharp as if he wanted to split his mind and find out everything.

"On what? I don't remember ever lying to you, sister." Logan replied.

Lion tightened his jaw. Clenched his hands, trying to calm down so as not to get emotional and hit his twin brother.

"Then why are you in this country? Didn't you come knowing I did something?" said Lion fierce.

Logan did not answer. The man was silent, then let out a long breath.

"I don't understand."

Suddenly Lion grabbed Logan's collar, staring at his sister with a reddened face holding back anger.

"Risya .. You hid the information from me. And you know I like him a lot. Why did you do that to your sister?!" shouted Lion loudly. His emotions exploded, he really couldn't believe Logan was doing that.

Some people who passed by started staring questioningly at them. It was seen that a silent female figure was pecking among the people, not believing in the things she had heard.

"I didn't do it. But the old man did it."
