Chapter Ninety-five
Third point
“Mac firmly addressed Liam, expressing that he had caused considerable damage to everyone present, emphasising the need to cease the ongoing chaos. His words were directed at the trio, excluding the syndicate from the admonition.”
“No harm will be greater if you don’t hand over Elena to me right now” Liam commented.
“I will rather die than see you have her” Mac replied “I lost her twice, I am not going to lose her again trust me”
“Very well then. Maybe a little demonstration of my wrath will convince you that I am dead serious” He clapped his hands together and the men outside brought in someone tied with a mask on his face. Liam approached the masked man and unveiled his face causing everyone to gasp
“You thought he would escape from my wrath?” Liam laughed maniacally.
“I am sorry son, I didn’t know how he had rounded me up.” Albert indicated staring them in the eye with so much sadness.
“You see, that was the mistake; I am Liam , the future billionaire, a young guy full of networking in various places” Liam boasted. “All I had to do was make a few calls to some friends at the American embassy and they seized his visa and my boys took over. I would admit your dad is also really influential so it was easy to get to him, trust me,” he explained.
“I am sorry Everyone” Albert said
“I will say it again, hand me Elena or he dies” Liam collected the gun from his main guard and aimed it at Albert’s head.
“You have five seconds to decide,” he began to count down.
“Do not listen to him, I will rather die than see Elena in his hands again” The gun went off on his head, causing blood to splatter across the environment.
“You all have some guts allowing him to die just like that. To think I was hoping to see him live; after all, I will like my former friend’s Father watch me grow in my achievements” Liam smiled.
“You are not the only one with men Liam like Shawn said, one more move from the place you are standing and a bullet will be put through your head” Elena warned.
“Really? Is that so? Well Elena, I have a surprise for you” Liam clapped his hands once more and another masked person was brought in by his men. When Liam unveiled the masked man, Elena’s eye widened in shock
“You won’t dare!!” She cried out
“When I returned back to the house, I learnt that she had set you free from my shackles and I knew that when I will find you, I will be out to kill her” Laurel was staring at them all with no hope of survival left with her.
“You see Elena, I am not just a street boy from Lakewood High, I am very smart too. Consider this a game of chess, you just lost your queen piece in two moves to me and it is only a matter of minutes before I say checkmate” He said the last statement directing his eyes to Elena once again.
“Please don’t hurt her,” She begged.
“Oh! So you love her this much” Liam clapped his hands and it began to rain bullets as they were being fired at Laurel.
Shawn couldn’t hold it any longer, he and his boys opened fire at Liam ‘ men and there was an exchange of fire.
Mac took hold of Elena’s and fled from the scene; Liam noticed it from the other end and followed them while the main guard covered him up.
Mac and Elena ran to the car but were abruptly stopped by Dylan who aimed the gun at them both “Hand her over now!” He ordered Mac who held Elena tight.
Liam ran up to see that Dylan was already on the gun.
“Great one Cage. Now Elena, don’t you want…..”. Liam heard the sound of the gun going off and he checked to see who was shot.
As all gazes converged on him, he met Cage’s gaze only to discover the barrel of the gun aimed in his direction-a chilling realisation dawned upon him.
“You shot me?” Were the last words of Liam , before he fell.
“He really thought I was going to share you with him? Now Mac, I want you to hand her over now” Dylan barked orders
“Never” Mac stood firm on his decision. Just when Dylan was about to shoot, Shawn appeared and Dylan got distracted, after having to put a bullet to his leg.
Mac launched Dylan and they both began to fight it out while Elena watched as they battled together.
Dylan had a pocket knife in his cloak and picked it out and struck him in the rib causing the latter to scream in pain. Elena tried to interfere but was brought to the floor by Cage’s left arm.
Mac, weakened by a knife cut, was unable to retaliate as additional blows landed on his cheeks. Blood streamed from his nose, and the situation felt eerily similar to his previous encounter with Liam, except this time, he found himself on the receiving end.
Dylan didn’t care as he kept on inflicting more body harm on Mac till he passed out. Just when he passed out, the police arrived and separated him from the blooded body of Mac and handcuffing Cage.

“We tried our best to revive him but he had bled excessively and he also had internal injuries thus he couldn’t make it” Elena cried her eyes out as she heard the doctor announce the result of the test carried out on Mac.
She found herself alone, as all the people she had ever loved were taken away from her.
Upon entering the medical room where Mac was being held, she unleashed a high-pitched scream, intensifying her already intense sobbing. Her deep love for Mac was evident, with her sole fervent wish being his survival.
As her cries dwindled to subdued sobs, she noticed a beep emanating from the monitor across from Mac. Hastily, she rushed out to summon the doctor, who promptly returned to conduct a thorough examination of the patient. Elena silently prayed, yearning that the outcome would align with her heartfelt wishes.
“Well it is a miracle! He is still alive and is well” The doctor confirmed causing Elena to scream with joy; she didn’t believe it. She thought Mac was gone forever but just that single beep was able to give her hope. A hope that would alter the things of the past that will redefine her future regardless of the possible stains she had carried.
Gazing skyward, she felt a profound certainty that her beloved guardian angel was orchestrating these events.
