Episode 32

Catherine.

I watch in horror as Andy takes off his belt, he pulls down pants leaving him in boxersā€¦. He takes off his shirt, his bare chest in display.

I shake my headā€¦. I canā€™t let this happenā€¦ He wants to know if Iā€™m still a virginā€¦. I canā€™t let him touch me, Iā€™m Khalidā€™s wife!

ā€œA-andyā€¦ W-what are you doing?ā€

He chuckled. ā€œIsnā€™t it clear? I wanna know if Lucifer has tempered with youā€¦. Else Iā€™ll think you came here with another motive!ā€

ā€œB-but, Andy we canā€™t have sexā€¦. ā€

ā€œWhy?! Why canā€™t we?!ā€

I gulpā€¦. His eyes showing anger.

ā€œAndy, we are family! I do love you but not the other kind of loveā€¦. What I feel for you is nothing but a kind of love between brothers and sisters. We areā€¦.. ā€

ā€œShut up, Catherine!!ā€ He cuts me offā€¦ He takes slow steps towards me as I also step back too. ā€œI have kept you by my side all these yearsā€¦ Caring and feeding youā€¦ ā€

Feeding me? Or drugging me?! Be precise!

ā€œAnd you said you saw me like your brother?!ā€

I nod. My leg hits the chair and I falls on itā€¦.. with nowhere else to go, I simply closed my eyes and fold my lips in my mouth.

ā€œWell, bad news for youā€¦. I donā€™t see you like my sister!! I never thought of you as my sister!!ā€

I gulp and flinch away from his touch as he run his fingers along my right arm.

ā€œNow, strip!ā€ He growled.

ā€œNoā€¦ Andy, stop.. I know you are not a bad person. This is not youā€¦ Please wake up!ā€ I cried.

He held my top and tore it, leaving me in my braā€¦. I quickly wrap my arms around my chest, trying to cover myself from him.

ā€œStrip before I do it myself!ā€

I shake my head and pleas with him with my eyesā€¦ But he simply ignores me and clenched his jaw.

ā€œAndyā€¦ donā€™t do thisā€¦ I swear, khaā€¦ā€ I paused, if I say Khalid, Andy will know something is wrong. ā€œI swear, Lucifer didnā€™t touch meā€¦.. Iā€™m still innocent.. ā€

ā€œThen f—–g prove it to me!!ā€

I didnā€™t see this comingā€¦. I didnā€™t expect Andy would be like this. What am I gonna do now?

Heā€™s getting impatient, he grabs my jean pants and tries to pull down my zipperā€¦. I didnā€™t let him, we both begin to struggle with the zipper.

Suddenly, we heard a loud crashā€¦. He stopped and turned towards the door, itā€™s the front doorā€¦.. Itā€™s down.

ā€œF—–G GET OFF MY WIFE, MOTHERFUCKING C–T!!ā€

Khalid? I smiledā€¦.. Then I saw himā€¦. heā€™s standing by the door, his hand clenching very tight on a gunā€¦. his expression unreadable as he glares at Andy.

His eyes follows Andyā€™s arm and settled on my pants zipperā€¦. His expression changed drasticallyā€¦. He looked furious like a raging vocalno ready to explode.

ā€œHOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY PROPERTY?!!ā€ he roared.

A gunshot is heard and Andy howled painfully and quickly jumped off me.

I quickly got up and stares at Andy on the floorā€¦. His left arm is bleeding profoundly.

ā€œKhalid!!ā€ I called him warningly.

I know I was secretly praying he should come and save meā€¦.. But I didnā€™t mean for him to hurt Andyā€¦. I mean, we are just suspecting that his family have something to do with my parents death.

We donā€™t know if heā€™s really the one behind everything.

I turned to glare at Khalid, then I noticed his men staring at me with their mouths wide openā€¦. I can see some drooling.

Then it dawned on meā€¦.. Iā€™m practically half naked. I quickly cover myself with my arms.

ā€œMotherfuckersā€¦. Look away!!ā€ Khalid roared at them and they quickly turned away from me.

He takes off his jacket and throws it at meā€¦. giving me a very harsh glare.

ā€œHow did you get past my men?!ā€ Andy grunts as he tries to stand upā€¦. I guess the pain has lessened.

ā€œYou think those weaklings can stop me?!ā€ Khalid scoffed and aim his gun at Andy. ā€œToday, Iā€™ll kill you and get revenge for my parents and in-laws!ā€

ā€œLuciferā€¦ It wonā€™t do any good even if you kill me, youā€™ve lost everything!!ā€

ā€œReally?ā€ Khalid chuckled. ā€œWell, since I have nothing to loseā€¦. I should just send you to hell!ā€

Send him to hell?! That means heā€™s gonna kill Andy!!

No! I canā€™t let that happen, Andy canā€™t die yet. I quickly rushed in front of Khalidā€™s gun at shake my head.

ā€œKhalid noā€

ā€œBaby, move asideā€¦ Iā€™m gonna kill him!ā€

ā€œNo! You canā€™t kill him!ā€

Khalid frown and stared at me in pure anger.

ā€œWhat is f—–g wrong with you, Catherine?! He bloody tried to rape you and now youā€™re defending him?!ā€

ā€œYou canā€™t kill himā€ I told himā€¦ looking at him straight in the eyes, trying to signal him that Iā€™ll explain later.

Andy laughed hysterically behind me.

ā€œCatherine doesnā€™t want you to kill meā€¦.are you gonna go against her?ā€

Khalid eyed him briefly. ā€œCathy, come over here!!ā€

I shake my head. ā€œNo, please donā€™t kill him and Iā€™ll come with youā€

ā€œWether I kill him or not, it doesnā€™t matter, you are coming with me either way!!ā€ He replied in a firm voiceā€¦. giving no room for arguments.

I want Andy deadā€¦I want him dead more than anything but I canā€™t let him die without finding any proof that heā€™s behind my parents deathsā€¦..I want to find him guilty and let him die by my hands!

God will forgive me for that.

But how to explain this to Khalidā€¦ā€¦

ā€œKhalidā€¦ā€¦ā€

ā€œCome over here, Cathy!!ā€ He growled.

Looking around, I saw a shard of glass and picked itā€¦..I brought it closer to my throat.

ā€œCatherine!! Put it down!!ā€ Khalid said quickly.

ā€œIā€™ll put it down and come with you if you promise not to kill Andyā€

ā€œNo, Andyā€™s death is not negotiable!ā€

ā€œOh? So my life means nothing to you?ā€

ā€œI didnā€™t say thatā€¦.put the glass down and move aside!!ā€

Andy grab me from behind but quickly lets me go as gunshot was heardā€¦..I turned and saw Andyā€™s right hand bleedingā€¦.his two hands are injured now.

What if Lucifer kill him and found out later that heā€™s not the one behind my parents deathsā€¦.. Iā€™ll feel so guilty.

ā€œKhalidā€¦we canā€™t kill him without evidence! What if heā€™s innocent?ā€

ā€œCatherineā€¦ heā€™s not innocent! He killed our parents and I must kill him too!ā€

ā€œThen find evidence!ā€

Khalid didnā€™t say anythingā€¦.he simply stared at me for a few minutesā€¦.more like glared.

I donā€™t know what happened but he grabbed my hand and slapped the glass away, cutting himself in the process.

He shot Andyā€™s leg. ā€œI donā€™t want my wife to get guilty for killing an innocentā€¦..but Iā€™ll find the evidence soon, Iā€™ll show her how evil you are and make her watch how I kill you with my bare hands!ā€

That said, he dragged me outā€¦.. actually, I know Andy is evil, but to fulfill all righteousnessā€¦.I want to clear my conscience when I kill him.

The drive back to the mansion is silenceā€¦..the silence is so thick that even a needle canā€™t penetrate.

Khalid keeps clenching and unclenching his hands around the steering wheelā€¦.. furiously grinding his teeth against each other.

ā€œKhalid, Iā€™mā€¦ā€¦ā€

His fierce look shut me up instantly and looked away from himā€¦..his expression tells me he is in no mood to listen to me.

Soon we made it back to the mansionā€¦.he parked in the garage and rushed to my side. He opens the door and drags me out and head in the mansion.

He lets go of my hand when we arrive at the living room and begin to pace back and forth.

I acted recklesslyā€¦. maybe I should apologise to calm him down.

ā€œIā€™mā€¦Iā€™m sorry, Khalidā€

He snaps his head towards me.

ā€œYouā€™re sorry?! Youā€™re sorry!! Do you know how scared I was?! Do you know how dangerous and stupid your move was?! What do you think you could do going back to the Mars?!ā€

ā€œI..I..just wanted toā€¦.helpā€¦..ā€

ā€œShut up!ā€ He cuts me off and I cower away a little. ā€œYou want to help by making me worry about you? I didnā€™t ask you for help, Catherineā€¦..or do you think Iā€™m incapable of doing this on my own!ā€

ā€œBoss, calm downā€ Chris said and Khalid angrily throws him a punchā€¦.I guess heā€™s being refraining himself from giving me that punch.

ā€œF—–g stay out of this!ā€ He growled at Chris.

ā€œThatā€™s not what I meantā€ I told him.

ā€œThen what do you mean?! Iā€™m your husband and you are supposed to listen to me!!ā€ He ran his fingers through his hair and pulled on them in frustration.

I guess Iā€™m really frustrating himā€¦.I should have listened to him. Now all I did was alert the enemy.

ā€œKhalid Iā€™m sorry, I thought my plan was perfectā€

ā€œThereā€™s no perfect plan! All plans carries their own risks! Why didnā€™t you think of the risk before you went there?! Huh?! What do you think would have happened had I not arrived in time?!ā€

Yeahā€¦. heā€™s right. I didnā€™t think things throughā€¦.. Andy would have raped me.

Tears brimmed in my eyes.

ā€œIā€™m sorryā€ the tears starts running down.

ā€œStop saying youā€™re sorry when you donā€™t mean it!! Do you know how I felt when I saw another man on top my WIFE?! Do you know how angry I was when I saw him ogling over your body?!ā€

ā€œIā€™m so sorryā€¦..ā€

ā€œI. Said. Stop. Saying. Sorry. Catherine!!ā€ He paused.

ā€œAnswer meā€¦.why did you stopped me from killing that bastard?!ā€

I kept quietā€¦.I donā€™t know if what Iā€™ll say will provoke him more.

ā€œAnswer me when I ask you a question!!ā€

ā€œI..I didnā€™t want to kill him without enough evidenceā€¦..ā€

ā€œBullshit!ā€ He cuts me off. ā€œThatā€™s bullshit, Catherine!! I donā€™t need evidence kill him!! I had the perfect opportunity to kill him today but you stoppedā€¦. fine! You want evidence right?ā€¦ Iā€™ll provide itā€

ā€œKhaā€¦ā€¦ā€

ā€œBut let me warn youā€¦this should be the last time you threaten me with your life or I swear to the God you believe that someone is really going to die and their blood will be on your hands!ā€

Just then his phone rings and he picks it.

ā€œWhat?!ā€ He roared at whoever called him.

ā€¦ā€¦..

ā€œTake her to my cell, Chris and I will be there in five!ā€ He hangs up and glared at me. ā€œI had my boys change the passwordā€¦not even Valerie knows the code, so donā€™t think of anything recklessā€

ā€œWhere are you going?ā€ I asked softly.

ā€œTo kill someone!ā€ He replied casually.

I didnā€™t dare beg him to spare this personā€¦.. heā€™s already too mad at me, I canā€™t make him angrier.

ā€œValerie!!ā€ He called.

Valerie quickly rushed down to the living room and stand next to meā€¦her head bowed down.

Sheā€™s shaking in fearā€¦.I guess.

ā€œTake care of your Mistress! I. Donā€™t. Want. Any. Mistakes. Or. Iā€™ll. Personally. Kill. You!!ā€

ā€œYes, masterā€ Valerie replied in a scared tone.

He turned to Chris. ā€œLetā€™s go!ā€ Then they left.

I sighed and slumps on a sofa, Valerie quickly sat next to me and takes my hands.

ā€œMistress, Iā€™m sorry I sold you outā€¦.I tried to cover up for you but I couldnā€™tā€¦.I couldnā€™t lie to Master, he was so scaryā€¦.Iā€™m sorryā€

I shake my head and gave her a small smile.

ā€œYou did the right thing by telling himā€¦.I was too impulsiveā€

ā€œAre you not mad at me?ā€

ā€œNoā€¦. thank you!ā€ I told her.

If she hadnā€™t told Khalid where I went, Andy wouldā€™ve succeeded in raping me. I got up to head upstairs but halts abruptly when I suddenly felt dizzy.

Valerie quickly got up and supported me from fallingā€¦.I shut my eyes and open them againā€¦ everything is blurry.

ā€œMistress, are you ok?ā€

ā€œI donā€™t knowā€¦.Iā€™m feeling dizzyā€

She touched my forehead as if feeling my temperatureā€¦.she gasp and quickly withdrew her hand.

ā€œYou are burning up! You must be having a fever!ā€

Fever? I was just fine a minute agoā€¦what is happening?

ā€œMaster just left, I donā€™t know if I should call himā€ she murmurs.

I shake my head.

ā€œDonā€™t call him!ā€

ā€œThen what should I doā€¦.I canā€™t send you to the hospital, master changed the codesā€

I take in deep breath. ā€œIā€™m fineā€¦. maybe Iā€™m just tired from my failed mission, I think a little rest will doā€

ā€œRest? No, mistress, letā€™s call master youā€™re sickā€

Khalid is mad at me, I donā€™t think heā€™ll wanna hear any issue related to me nowā€¦ besides, he was called on his business.

ā€œVal, just help me to our room. Iā€™ll be fine after a nap!ā€

ā€œButā€¦.ā€

ā€œIā€™m fine, really. Just help me up!ā€

She didnā€™t argue and did as I told herā€¦
