Chapter 56: A Golden Chance
Cloud apartments,
Alric was in his personal condo which only had one room because he had styled and changed other rooms for different uses. Like the one he was using was a gym. He was using a crunch chair. Covered in sweat with his rough breathing. He was pulling the machine too hard as if he was fighting with it. He was about to pull once more when his phone started to ring.
He would have ignored it at once, if it was not for the special tune he had set for emergency callers. The call was connected automatically before he could press any button.
His breathing was still rough because of the hours he was exercising.
"I have met with an accident. Send some to fetch me at the backside of the boys Dormitory." her voice was breaking as if she was enduring so much brain that his hands paused on the machine.
"What about Alex?" He stood up at once. His hands reached for his shirt but the cursed woman had already cut the call.
"That damn girl!" he gritted his teeth. He did not call for any of his assistants or other staff or their bodyguards.
The location she mentioned, near the boys’ dormitory, sent a chill down his spine. Alex... his mind swirled with all the worst possibilities. Panic rising, he sprinted to the lift, his heart pounding. He drove with reckless abandon, the car tearing through the streets at eighty miles per hour. Horns blared, and other cars swerved to avoid him, but he barely noticed. His mind was a whirlwind of anxiety and fear, each second feeling like an eternity as he raced to reach her.
But when he reached there, she was all alone. Leaning on the tree. It took him a second to even find her in the dark. He ran to her only to notice that her pants were torn badly and her leg was bleeding from many small injuries. She was holding her hand and her breathing was rough.
