Chapter No 16 More than life

She played the video and her facial expressions were changing from time to time. She replays it many times and every time it feels unreal.

“Mr. Easton, I kissed Mr. Easton was the random guy I kissed?” she screamed.

Every passenger in the airport was looking at her as if she was saying, “Hijack”.

She was panicking.

“Did he know?” She thought.

She put the puzzle together. The day she saw him for the first time, his gaze on her, the day when he was making out with his employee, he asked the model to get out, not her.

“He knew me, from the beginning he knew me,” she said in a whisper.

Her phone starts vibrating. ‘Incoming call Alejandro’ was shining over the screen.

“Alejandro, why is he calling me? Did he know I am leaving?” she thought, puzzled.

She answered.

“Hello Matilda,” he sounded worried from the other side.

“What happened Alejandro?” she asked.

“Matilda, Easton is with you?” he asked worriedly.

“No he is not. I did not go to the office today,” she said. There was a strange silence from the other side.

“Alejandro, tell me what it is?” she asked worriedly.

“He is in danger. I have been trying his number for hours but he is not picking it up. We have been informed by Sebastian that the remaining members of Felipe’s family are after Easton and his family,” he said worried.

“Where are you guys now?” she asked, checking his number. The code was of Spain.

“We are in Barcelona, Easton is in Canada, please try to find him, Matilda he is in grief danger,” he said.

“I won’t let anything happen to him,” she said and felt her own voice strange. She was caring for him. She was feeling afraid for him. She hung up the phone, started dialing his number, and at the second bell he answered up.

“Matilda? Matilda you are back?” he was drunk.

“Mr. Easton, where are you?” she asked.

“I am in the bar,” he said.

“Which bar?” she asked.

“Q….” he was about to say something when she heard a strange sound as if he was being hit.

“Mr. Easton?” She called his name twice but the line was dropped.

She felt her heart beat faster, so she got up and left the airport in a rush.

“He said the bar, but he went to too many bars in the country, where he must be?” she thought irritated. Then something sparks in her mind and she dialed Natalie’s number.

“Hello listen Natalie, I need a favor please sent me the location of Mr. Easton”

“Yeah it’s urgent”

“Listen Natalie I can’t tell you anything right now please gather the security he is in danger,” she said and hung up the phone.

After a while she got his location through w******p,

“I am coming I won’t let anything happen to you,” she said and went towards the cab.

“You are fine, relax I won’t let anything happen to you Matilda I won’t let anything happen to you, you are the love of my life, I love you Matilda, I love you,” his voice was echoing inside her head. She pressed her head with irritation, something she does when irritated.

“Please be safe I am coming” she said while touching her chest and taking deep breaths.

After a few minutes, she reached the correct destination. She got out of the car and ran towards the bar. She looked around but he was not there.

“Come on Mr. Easton, where are you?” She said with tears in her eyes and then she saw something shining and the cell phone. She ran towards the place and grabbed the phone and the locket. It was a golden heart shaped locket with Matilda written over it. She recognized the cell phone as his.

“He was here,” she whispers and runs out of the bar. She looked around.

Then she heard men’s fighting and moaning. She went to the back of the bar. There were four men who were fighting, with close looks she recognized one as Easton as it was too much darkness. He was fighting with those goons.

She slowly hides behind the door and starts dialing Natalie’s number.

“|Hello Natalie, track my location and come over here, Mr. Easton is in danger, we have to make some move now,” she said in a whisper. Easton was fighting skillfully.

It was the first time she looked at him this much deeply. He was tall, muscular and handsome but at the same time he was strong. She was so lost that she did not notice that someone was standing behind her. He grabbed her mouth and brought her outside.

“Fanaggaen, your bitch is here, drop it,” said the man who was holding her.

She was struggling to be free but he was stronger than her. He put the gun over her head and grabbed her arm from the other hand.

She looked at Easton. His expressions were dark, a kind of dark she never saw before. Dangerous, extremely dangerous. He looked at the hand he was holding her with.

He was holding her arms so strongly that she felt her blood stop. He looked inside her eyes, there was something in his eyes that time that made her feel like stone. He walked towards them still looking inside her eyes.

“Mr. Easton,” she said with tears in her eyes.

Within a matter of seconds he snatched the gun and shot him twice in the head. The other three goons become alert when he grabs Matilda and pulls her into his arms shielding her from any harm.

He shoots the other three. They all drop dead. She was hugging him. She is always afraid of crackers and loud sounds and today she was hearing gunshots. He hugged her softly.

“It’s okay, I am here” he said, assuring her.

“Sit here, I got to make a call,” he said while she sat at the nearby fountain.

He was making a call when she was sitting near the fountain terrified when she heard something strange. She looked at the nearby building. First she thought it must be a tree’s shadow but then she realized it’s a man with a gun.

He was aiming at Easton. His back was facing her. She ran towards the place where he was standing. She shields his back. Easton felt her back behind his back, before he could turn in a matter of seconds the attacker pulled the trigger shooting her over the shoulder. He turned and she fell in his arms.

“Matilda? Matilda no, open your eyes Matilda” he was screaming.
