"Don't you dare do that..."
Dexter laughed and replied with an evil smile,
"What if I dared..."
He said this as he injected her harshly in the neck, making her jerk from the sudden pain. Zayn widened his eyes and shouted,
"DEXTER!"
His veins popped out, his eyes tearing up as he looked at Kendra, who now lay unconsciously on the chair. Zayn closed his eyes, then looked back at Dexter with red, fuming eyes.
Dexter chuckled and said, "It's just a drug. She'll wake up in three hours..."
Zayn clenched his jaw. "You're playing with fire, Dexter."
Dexter chuckled again. "And I like to play. Anyway, see you..."
Before Zayn could react, Dexter threw a smoke grenade and escaped. Zayn choked, struggling to clear his vision. After a minute, the smoke started to dissipate. Zayn ran to Kendra, quickly untied her, and carried her to his car.
Once he entered inside, he called Lerick.
On the call...
"Yes, Zayn," came Lerick's voice from the other side. Zayn glanced at Kendra and said, "Lerick, I need your house."
Lerick frowned. "What happened?"
Zayn sighed. "I'll explain when I get there. Also, call my family doctor to your place—quick." He ended the call.
Laria's POV
"Dad, what are you waiting for? Call Uncle Felix!" I said to my dad in a frustrated tone.
"But before that, we need to ask Zayn whether he's interested or not, Laria." I clenched my jaw in anger and replied,
"He loves me so much, Dad. If neither of us has a problem with this marriage, then who does? Uncle Felix is very happy about this too. So please, don't hesitate—just call him." I insisted. My dad looked at my mom, then made the call.
Lerick's POV
I was waiting in my apartment for Zayn to come. I didn't know why he was in such a rush, but I had a feeling there was a problem.
While I was thinking, my doorbell rang. I quickly stood up and went to open the door. As soon as I opened it, my eyes widened at the sight before me—Zayn was carrying Kendra.
"What happened to her, Zayn?" I asked in concern. He ignored my question and headed straight to the guest room. I followed him, confused.
He gently placed her on the bed and asked, "Where's the doctor?" I looked at him and replied, "He's on his way. But tell me, what happened to her?"
"Later!" he said, sitting down beside her. I sighed and said, "Let me call the doctor again." Zayn nodded, keeping his gaze on her. I sighed and went outside.
Zayn's POV
"I'm sorry... it's all because of me that you have to be like this. I promise I'll make him regret his actions, Kendra," I whispered, holding her hand and looking at her unconscious body. I gently caressed her hair.
After about a minute, the doctor arrived.
"Is she okay, Doctor?" I asked. The doctor looked at me respectfully and said, "Yes, Mr. Zayn. She's stable, but the drug was strong. She'll wake up in three to four hours. Make sure she gets enough rest. It seems like she's quite strong; otherwise, she'd be in the hospital by now. Anyway, take care of her."
I nodded and said, "Thank you." I asked Lerick to see the doctor out, and he nodded, leading the doctor outside.
After they left, I slowly sat beside her and looked at her pale face. I sighed, stood up, and went out to make a call.
