THE DEATH LORD'S QUEEN

Liars

Danius turned on some video on his phone, Laila found the case very odd. It had a very beautiful young girl, young but ferocious. She would bring this world down if she liked to. Him having it as a phone case said a lot about his feelings towards her.

He tossed his phone towards Laila. At first she was hesitant and looked towards Aarv, he would have burnt this man down just for trying to start a conversation with her. Letting out a sigh she caught his phone and played the video, and the person on other side made her eyes turn shocked. It was so easy to read her, her face held everything she felt.

Danius remembered the moment when her face would not change a bit for days, except for the fire in her eyes noone could ever know what she was going through. He smiled at her softly and closed the curtains of flashback.

In that video wass.. Tom.

He was tied down to a chair and someone repeatedly asked who is funding the organisation. She could see he did not slip a word out, but blood was gushing out from everywhere. They weren't veryy close, but there was an understanding that they would show up if others life is threatened. And right now his was because of her.

'What am I supposed to do' she asked, she would enquire him later on how he has this video or how he is connected to all this. Right now her only priority was to get him out safe.

'I will take care of this Laila, why are you even worrying for a nobody like him' Aarv asked like he would not even second think about being in this situation. And this is why she never had the same feelings for him, never even could think about trying to love this person.

'Stay out of this Aarv, I don't run business on your suggestions. Leave' She made it sound as harsh and rude as possible.

'I don't like repeating myself' she directed her question to Danius.

'Let me drive you home, It is confidential'

'Okay, my car, I drive' she cannot risk allowing a stranger drive her, who knows she could be in trap too. Why was world so cruel to her always? She was running to find a place where she could breathe for a few seconds. Calm herself down, eat a dark chocolate and watch surf at beach. Like this she would forget everything that happened at the meeting today. But here, she has to box up her feelings. Handle the situation, feelings are for later.

She entered the drivers seat and adjusted herself, seconds later Danius sat on the passengers seat. She turned on the ignition, if at all the human beside her has any plans to subdue her, she was going to show him. Let him know, why they shouldn't touch her or her people.

He drove an Jesko too, so speed alone would not be enough. She had no plans of taking him to her house, it is going to be the ring.

She took the mountains, with drifts and cuts at every 45 seconds. She knew them like the fingers on her hands, it was an rush of adrenaline to cycle riders and a death wish for the ones with car. She could hear his breath fastening.

'Would you not ask how I know about your secrets' Danius tried to gain conversation

'I doubt you would give me truth, I have bad temper towards liars' - she replied in an irritated tone.

She let the windows down on his side. Why? Because that is when you know what speed actually is. Isnt it amazing when your competitor is wind?? She steer her wheel at every turn, and bringing them back to direction they are heading into. If at all there is another vehicle, either in her direction or opposite she would be doomed. It is either they survive this or drown 2000ft below in the sea.

She took turns on the larger ends letting him see the deep blue waters and our closeness with it. She hit her accelator from where she knew lies the straight road down the hill. She over took anything that came her way.

Slowly Danius faded from her image, the want to make him fear her faded, meeting faded..

It was not to prove anyone, the rage, anger, fire is what she felt. She had noone in her life, Noone. Not single person who cared to ask on the days she starved herself if she was okay. There was noone who would get her medicines if she fell sick. Noone to ask if she is still alive.

Once her maid tried to steal one of her diaries, that was the last time she allowed anyone inside her house. She did everything on her own, and that made her even more lonely.

Tom was no friends with her, but she just couldn't let him die. She couldn't allow God to take away the person who just promised to be by her side. Suddenly, her left hand on the gears felt odd. Danius changed the gear and shouted her name bringing her back to her senses, turning the steering wheel with his other hand. She pressed onto the clutch and break simultaneously. The vehicle came to halt within seconds. 

She simply pressed her head onto the steering wheel, after realising they were alive. She failed miserably at trying to show him that she is strong, she made a fun of herself out of this stunt. But that was not bugging her, people opinion were long left behind. It just felt too much, the board meeting, Charles making fun of her haunted nightmares, and then Tom. Now she is in a strangers control. She didn't get time to even sit down and cry herself out, when was the last time she let those burdens out?

'FUCK!!, FUCK!! FUCKK!!!!, Lailaaaaa!!!!!!!'

It felt like he was about to burst out at her,

'Are you okay?' He suddenly asked in a calmed tone

'Is anyone hurt?' She spoke with her head still down onto the steering wheel.

'No, but we could have been drowning in the river right now'

She smiled at the response, and took a long breath. He did not ask to let him drive, she wouldn't allow anyway. Mistakes aren't to be made twice. But she made change of plans and took him to her house, ring some other day. Today she is likely to die more.

'You live alone?' He asked

'You see anyone?' She asked

'This is the way you talk?'

'Yes, any problem then get out'

'If it weren't that important, I wouldn't give a shit to a ass lady like you'

'Better, 15 mins you get to explain'
She was not interested in knowing what was important. Save Tom, get to your bed, let this worm triggering you out of your heart. She said to herself.

'I am supposed to take you to Cuba, and try make an deal. We all escape once Tom is in our hands' he sounded it like, throw the dice and climb the number it shows. Simple, my ass.

'Okay' she said

'You like him?'

'No'

'Then best of friends kind I guess' he chuckled

'No'

He doesn't know what she and Tom are,She thought maybe he is on her or Tom's side trying to make a deal to help him. But if he doesn't know what Tom and she is then he is on neither side of ours. Her sirens went on.

'Ohh' and after it felt like an decade of him thinking he said

'What you are doing is appreciated work Ms. Laila, but you see it is causing huge loss to people. Like us'

Okay Laila you are doomed, he is your enemy. And your feelings got hold of you trusting him. Fuck myself. Poker face, Poker face.

'So'

'I would have asked you to marry me, if we had met on other terms.' He was laughing, so what are the consequences of these terms then? and did he not call her ass lady just now?

'Tom had to give in information to protect his daughter, he would be devasted to know he was the reason for your demise.' He pulled out a sad face teasing her. She knows Tom would never do that, but let's play along.

'Nice meeting you Tigress, the name suits you'

This was her time to laugh. She saw his hands going behind maybe a Gun. She was faster to pull out her dagger she kept in her pockets all the time. She unlocked it with one hand, other blocking his hands and hitting them back to the wall. She pushed him onto the sofa, sitting on him with both legs on either side of him. The sharp edge placed on his necks delicate vein.

'I told you Danius, I hold bad temper for liars.'
