Chapter 24 - Something is fishy!

" Edward's death has shocked the entire country. There is no statement from the Prime Minister yet but his special sources have said that if this is a murder then he will take necessary action against it."

"Why are you wasting your mind by watching this nonsense news?" Marco snatches the remote and switches off the TV. "You shouldn't have killed him." Elliot says. "So what was to be done? There would be no benefit in taking him to court as he would get the bail immediately. He deserved to be killed like this." Marco says back. Elliot sighs and looks away. "Uh.. I'm sorry for raising my voice. You need to stop worrying about it. As long as I'm alive, nothing will happen." Marco assures. Elliot nods and walks towards the kitchen. Marco follows him.

Elliot takes some apples from the fridge and starts chopping it. Marco sits on a chair near the counter. "Oh! I forgot to tell, ma has gone to India for a few days. She has some work there and will return after finalizing the date of our marriage." Marco says. "Okay." Elliot says softly. Marco's phone rings and he picks up the call immediately and walks away from Elliot. "Ouch!" Elliot screams. He inadvertently cuts his finger with the knife. "Oh shit! Please will you stop being stressed? You're only hurting yourself!" Marco yells. "I'm fine." Elliot replies. "No you're not okay? Now come here." Marco washes his finger with cold water and bandages. Elliot hugs him tightly. "I'm sorry." he whispers. Marco kisses his forehead and rubs his back. "It's okay baby, but please take care of yourself." he says back.

Marco helps him to sit on the sofa and brings the apples for him. "Now open your mouth." he orders. Elliot obeys and Marco feeds him the slices one by one. At a moment Elliot bites his finger."Hey! Are you crazy or what?" Marco shouts. "Why did you bite my finger baby?" he asks. "Because I wanted to." Elliot replies. "You're so unpredictable!" Marco laughs. Marco's phone rings again but he doesn't pick up this time. "How are you feeling now?" he asks. "Better I guess." Elliot replies with a smile. Marco's phone rings again. "It's okay you can take the call." Elliot says. "Leave it, it's not so important." Marco says back. His phone rings again. "Do you want me to take the call?" Elliot scolds him. "No! Okay, I'm taking it." Marco takes the call and walks away. Elliot sits there and waits for him.

After a few minutes Marco comes back. "Is everything okay?" Elliot asks him immediately. "Uh.. yes I mean, I don't feel like it but I have to go somewhere now." Marco replies. Elliot stands up and approaches him. "If it's so important then you should go." he says. "No, I'm not going anywhere leaving you alone like this." Marco says back. "I'll be fine I promise. You can go." Elliot says. "But El.." Marco hesitates. Elliot hugs him. "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere until you come back." he assures. "Fine.. I tell the guards to be careful and not let anyone in." Marco says. They breaks the hug and Elliot kisses his cheeks. "I'll be back soon." Marco says. "Take care and I love you." Elliot says back. Marco takes his black coat and walks towards his car. "Please do take care of yourself and if anything happens let me know." he says. Elliot nods in understanding. Marco gets up in his car and heads towards his location. The guards closes the front gate.

At The Evening:

Elliot is sitting on his bed and starts reading his favourite book again. But he is not being able to focus on it. His heart is missing his boyfriend. He checks the time and it is almost five hours since Marco left. He tries to focus on reading but it's not happening. "We can't let you in." someone shouts from outside. Elliot climbs off of the bed and opens the door. He goes downstairs and sees six men are standing at the living room and the guards are stopping them from coming in. "What's going on?" Elliot asks. "Sir please go, we will handle them." Sebastian requests. "But what's the matter? Who are these people?" Elliot asks again. "There you are!" one of the six men says. "I'm sorry what?" Elliot says back. "Hi, it's Jeremy Smith here. I'm Prime Minister's personal assistant." the guy introduces himself. Elliot hearts drops hearing this. "And you must be Elliot Williams, right?" Smith says. Elliot takes a deep breath and looks at him. "Yes I am! May I know what do you want?" he asks politely.

"We have come to take you with us." Smith replies. "Wh.. what?" Elliot starts sweating. "Sir, please try to understand you need go from here. We will handle them." Sebastian interrupts. "You need to come with us. It's an order." Smith says. Elliot looks directly into his eyes. "Who are you to give me orders? Only my fiance has the right to give me orders, no one else. You may leave now." he yells. "Oh nice! But I don't care. You have to come with us Elliot." Smith says. "You can't force me. I'm sorry but I can't go with you." Elliot says back. Smith laughs and stands in front of him. "I thought that if I say it lovingly, you will understand. But I was wrong. Well, looks like now I'll have to take you away from here by force!" he says. He tries to grabs his hand but Elliot steps back. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" he shouts. Sebastian and other guards immediately takes out their guns and points towards the six mens. "Calm down boys. Take it easy." Smith says. "Look, if you don't co-operate with us then we have to do something that you won't like." the other person says from behind.

"Sebastian, call Marco immediately." Elliot whispers in his ears. "We are continuously trying to call him but it says he is out of network!" Sebastian says back. "Where are you Marco?" Elliot mumbles. Smith approaches him. "Are you coming or not?" he asks. "No! Do whatever you want, but I'm not going anywhere!" Elliot says. "You heard, right? Now get lost from here before I shoot you!" Sebastian warns. "Oh just like the way Edward did to you, right?" Smith says. This shocks Elliot, he looks at him. "What do you mean?" he asks. "You know what I mean Elliot!" Smith replies.

"What's happening here?" David walks in. "Nothing so serious mate. We are here to take Elliot with us, that's it." Smith says. "But why? What's the reason?" David asks. "He knows why. So it will be better if you stay out of this matter and let us do our work." Smith replies. David clenches his fist and blocks his way. "I'm sorry sir but I won't let you do that. Do you have any proof?" he asks. Smith chuckles and takes out something from his pocket. "Do you remember this Elliot?" he asks. Elliot's eyes widens seeing the locket in his hand. David also recognises the locket and looks at him. "So now, are you coming yourself or should we take you?" Smith asks. Elliot closes his eyes and nods. "I'm coming." he replies. "Alright, have your way." Smith says. Elliot walks towards the main gate but David grabs his hand. "Please Elliot don't go. You have no idea what is going happen there." he says. Elliot releases his hand from his grip and wipes his tears. "When Marco comes back, say sorry to him on my behalf. As I could not fulfill the promise I had made to him." he says.

"Just shut up Elliot! Do you even understand what you are saying? Dude come back to your sences! They won't leave you easily, especially the PM! Please for Christ's sake don't go. At least wait for Marco." David yells. "Alright, that's enough!" Smith interrupts. He grabs Elliot's hand and walks towards the helicopter. David tries to stop them but Smith's bodyguards blocks his way. Elliot gets up in the helicopter and closes his eyes. Smith and his bodyguards also gets up and the pilot starts the chopper.

"Please forgive me Marco but I had to do this. Because this is the only way I can save you. I'm sorry babe." Elliot whispers. He tries to text Marco but Smith snatches his phone. Elliot looks out of the window and closes his eyes again.
