Five!

Author's POV 

Liam entered the house full of fire, ignoring Glenn and the men who were screaming their hearts out for him. He didn't waste a second and rushed to the room where the girl was locked. He was not thinking about anything, his mind was only on the girl. The way she looked at him when he walked away from her was printed on his mind. 

He slammed open the door and saw her sitting in the corner, head resting against the wall and face so broken like she had lost everything. She wasn't even scared of the flames which were entering her room. Like she was waiting for this moment. 

Liam rushed inside making her flinch and she again started screaming. She tried to get away from him. He tried to break the chain but it was too late, he fired bullets at it and it finally fell near the metal cage although it was still attached to her ankle.

He approached the scared girl and she started struggling to get away. He tried to grab her but she cried louder and scratched him in the process. He grew frustrated as the fire was fuming. 

He harshly jerked her towards himself and shook her arms. 

"I am trying to fucking save you..."

He growled at her. 

She froze in his hold. Her blue eyes stared at him, trying to understand if he was telling the truth or manipulating her.

Liam didn't wait for a second and wrapped his leather jacket around her before scooping her in his arms and running out. The flames had engulfed the house but he managed to get out.

His men felt relieved when they saw him but felt more shocked when they saw him with the fragile girl in his arms. 

"Liam?"

Glenn questioned. 

"Get in the car"

Liam ordered, not having time to explain.

They got inside the car and Liam sat in the back seat, with the girl in his arms. She was unconscious now. Her innocent face was resting against his chest. 

He didn't understand why his chest was hurting after watching her in this condition. He didn't know her, he doesn't give a fuck about strangers, so why did he want to bring Jaffery's family back to life and kill them again just for her? 

He gently removed wild hair from her face, revealing her angelic face. There was something which was mesmerising about her. 

He checked her body for any burn marks but there weren't any. In fact, his hand was burned while saving her.

Glenn looked at his friend and raised his eyebrows, he shrugged. Neither knew what their boss was doing nor who the girl was. 

Meanwhile, Lisa was sitting with her husband in the living room. It was already morning and they were waiting for Liam to have breakfast together. 

"Where is he?"

She asked Louis.

"He is killing Jaffery's family...."

He looked at the watch.

"But should have been back by now."

She shook her head.

"I have married into a crazy family where they kill people before breakfast, lunch and dinner and without that, they can't digest their food."

Louis chuckled at her words.

"You should loosen up a bit, wife... I know you are worried about him but he will find his girl someday... Don't worry!"

She shrugged.

"You are saying that he will come home with the girl in his arms one day and will say that he wants to marry her."

Louis smirked.

"I don't know about the marriage but there is definitely a girl in his arms."

Lisa frowned.

"What?"

Louis gestured towards the door and Lisa looked in that direction confused. Her eyebrows furrowed when she saw Liam entering the house with a petite girl in his arms, wrapped securely in his jacket. He was holding her close to his chest, as if someone would snatch her away from him.

They got up when he came inside.

"Liam, what is this?"

"Can you call the doctor, and send some maids to the guest room?"

He said, indicating that he is not discussing anything now. 

Lisa nodded.

"Sure!"

He carried the girl to the guest room and gently placed her on the bed. He stared at her for a minute, there was definitely something about her face. It was making him feel something he couldn't recognise. 

He tucked her under bedsheets and stepped away thinking who she was, what she was doing there, how she ended up like this and what her connection with Jaffery was. 

Lisa came with maids and saw the girl. 

"Is she injured badly?"

Liam nodded.

"Don't know how bad."

"The doctor will be here in some time."

She informed and stepped closer to the girl. 

Lisa gently touched her temple.

"She has a fever."

She looked at him.

"Can you go out, we need to clean her."

Liam nodded before stepping out.

"Glenn, I need all information about this girl..."

Glenn nodded.

"Yes, boss!"

The doctor arrived, and Liam was waiting outside for her to check the girl. 

Suddenly he heard the screaming of the girl, as if she was screaming before, he quickly rushed to the room and saw she was trying to get away from the doctors and maids. Probably too scared to trust anyone, even women around her. 

The maids were trying to hold her but she was struggling to get away. 

"My god, she is so traumatised."

Lisa said as her heart broke for the girl.

"Stop it!"

Liam ordered and everyone froze. 

"Leave her!"

He didn't like the way the maids were trying to hold the girl. They were bruising her more and it angered him. 

There was some weird protectiveness taking over him. 

The maids let her go and the girl looked at Liam with teary eyes, she was already sobbing. She was stuck between unknown faces until she saw the face that saved her. She recognised the man. The one who broke her chains. 

She ran towards Liam and hugged him tightly, as if he were the only one who could protect her.

Liam froze the moment her delicate hands wrapped around him.
