The Angel Trumpet

32.

Being called to an emergency family meeting, Kang leaves and I'm left on his couch with my head in my hands. Pushing my hair back I look up and see one of Kang's men walk in with my burner phone. "Mr. Lee wants to speak to you," passing me the phone I answer, "Aren't you in a meeting?" Kang being in front of his father he says, "My father wants to see Fernando." Getting up onto my feet I grip the phone harder than I already was. "Not happening," I say coldly. Kang sighs low, "I told him it was a no go but he won't listen." Entering his room I grab a pair of sweatpants slipping into them and my shoes I had on leaving his place going to where Fernando is stashed. "I'm hanging up," tossing the phone to one of his men I get into the car I had and speeding off.

When I make it to where I have the devil himself, a few unfamiliar faces are standing guard.

"Who the hell are you?" I ask and they just hand me another phone.

"These men are taking Mr. Ortiz off your hands for a bit. I think as your father in-law I can have some say in this don't you?"

Pissed I grit my teeth and glare at the men in front of me.

"This wasn't yours to interfere with."

Laughter fills the other side of the phone as he takes what I said as a joke.

"Oh dear, you have no idea what we Lee's are capable of but you will in a few weeks once you marry my son."

With the line going dead I hand the phone back and turn ready to scream out in anger but just sit in my car with the engine running. Gripping onto the steering wheel, all I'm seeing is red. I rev the engine a few times and do the unthinkable and drive right through the guarded men and see Fernando getting helped up and washed. Swinging the car door open and grabbing the metal rod that's there, I hit one man on the head and the other took a gun out but I just snickered. "Go ahead pull the trigger," I raised my hands up still holding onto the metal rod ready for him to take a shot but he lowered it with shaky hands.

Placing the gun down low on the floor he kicks it over and I walk up still hitting him with the rod.

He falls to the ground with blood running down the side of his face.

Fernando cracks his neck, almost regaining his strength buttoning his new shirt, "You should have done your research princesa," standing he looks over to the two men laying down on the ground. "What makes you think you're walking out of here alive?" I say letting the metal rod hang to the side while I look at him from the side. "Do you want an apology? Because I think you owe me a big one." He says as he grabs the coat that was hanging off the chair and puts it on. I lift the metal rod and rest it on my shoulder, "Sit back down Fernando." What's ever left of the devil inside of him, tries to scare me, almost intimidate me into backing down but I don't.

"Your tactics don't work."

Staring at him he becomes anxious, making me smile.

He slowly reaches for a brick that's in a pile to the left of him and tries to hits the side of my face with it until I move watching him trip and fall onto the concrete.

Trying again he goes for my legs but I dodge him, making him slide to the side hitting his face onto the wooden pole that's there.

"Come on, is that all you got?"

Building anger from all the failed attempts to take me down he gets up straggling to his feet.

Grunting he comes towards me, unaware of the broken piece of glass in his hand he stabs me in the stomach, pushing it in harder as he holds onto me.

"Do you know why I really kept you for those ten months?" Gasping in pain into his ear as he's in mine he says, "Because I saw myself in you and wanted to see how far you would really go until you gave up the will to fight," taking the shard out he stabs me again and backs away as Kang's people charge in. Raising his bloody hands up he smiles but gets tackled onto the floor while Kang enters seeing me fall to the ground.

"Aleya!"

Running he spots the blood gushing out and tries to stop the bleeding but there's too much of it.

"Kill...him." I raspily say holding onto his hand.

Kang, never having to take a life, looks to Fernando and catches a glimpse of the gun that was left on the floor. Feeling my blood all over his hands he struggles to grip onto reality but has his men get me to their private hospital and handles Fernando. Stopping one of his men he says, "Make sure she survives," then lets him go and I close my eyes not knowing what happened afterwards.

Pito and the guys get word of what happened and raise hell to have Kang's men let them in to see me but they make them wait out in the waiting room. Kang is already talking to the doctor panicking as they tell him I'm not in the clear yet since the cut was deep. Covered in my blood he walks out to the waiting room having Pito almost lose his shit. "What the fuck happened!" Kang, still processing, ignores him and sits holding his head in his hands. Xavier sitting with his fists balled on his knees looks to Leo who is quietly worried. Rayne is the last one to show but the first one to not give a shit who Kang is, pinning him to the hospital wall gripping Kang's shirt collar. "Out of respect for your engagement, I didn't intervene but now that I know you can't take care of her, she's coming back with me." The guys look at Rayne getting ready to tell him to calm down until the doctor walks out taking his surgical mask off.

All of their heads turn to face him as he says, "Does anyone have the blood type Rh negative?"

Kang shoves Rayne off him and follows the doctor leaving them all infuriated.
