BAIDER (ENGLISH VERSION)

ANMELA’S POV

“Who says you can lick what’s mine?”

My body froze as I saw Laurent at the entrance of the building. He was holding a gun, his eyes burning in fire.

Suddenly, I ran towards him, but one of the men held my waist. “Laurent! Laurent!” I was screaming at the top of my lungs. The man pointed a baseball bat on my head.

“One wrong move, the brain of your girlfriend will be scattered on the ground.” The man smirked at Laurent.

Laurent’s eyes looked down at his hands that were wrapping on my belly. “Your arms will be separated from your body. I’ll give you three seconds to remove that.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“You’re boastful. How can you do that?” The man moved his mouth to my ear. “She smells good.”

“Your nose will be out from your face.” Laurent’s eyes filled with darkness. His threatening lines were making me scared of him. Scared that he might really do that.

“One, two…” Laurent raised his gun. “Pull out your hands.”

Instead of removing his hands, the man kissed my neck. The goosebumps rolled all over my body. I was slapping him over and over again, but he was stronger than me. His lips repulsed by my body.

“F*ck you!” I heard Laurent’s curse as the loud gun shots filled the area again.

“Ahhh!” I was screaming and shaking so badly when I saw that the bullet hit the man’s forehead. The blood was bathing his face.

I laid on the floor and covered my face with my palm. I heard the consecutive gun fire echoed in the building. One after the other. I was just recoiling my body on the ground while my eyes were closed, my hands were on my ear.

I kicked and punched when I felt someone held my arms. “Ahh! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me-”

“Baby Girl.”

I opened my eyes, saw his handsome face that was stained with red liquid. I moved faster and hugged Laurent compactly. I buried my face on his shoulder and cried out loudly.

“You’re safe.” He hugged me tightly. I felt his lips touch my head and his hands were tapping my back.

“I’m so scared.”

“Shh. I’m here.”

I leaned my cheek on his chest. I was glued to his big body as he walked. My eyes widened as I saw the men lying on the ground. Laurent targeted them on the forehead, that means they were all dead.

Kervy was on the side, he was in deep shock while looking at Laurent. The rattling on his body was visible.

“Laurent… did you…” I could not continue my words due to the fear of knowing the truth.

What kind of person is he? He killed them all in a second? If my eyes were not closed, I must see everything, but was I ready to see him cutting lives?

“Yes, Anmela Eris. Whatever you’re thinking, yes. Yes, I killed them with no mercy at all. This is me, but I want you to know that I am not getting the breath of those people who do not deserve even if…” He gritted his teeth and glared at Kervy. Kervy moved backward, the trembling was still on his body. “Even if I want to kill that *sshole.”

“Kervy saved me.” I held his arm. “Maybe he did something, but please… don’t hurt him. He was just angry at what you did.”

Laurent circled his arms on me. She stroked my hair and kissed my forehead. “I’m not afraid to lose everything, but not you.”

His words made my heart warm. I held his hand and kissed it. “No matter who you are… that won’t lessen my love.”

This time, I am ready to accept whoever he is even though it scares me that one day, he leaves me to protect me.

“Let’s go, *asshole! If you don’t want to be alone here!” Laurent called Kervy. He stood up and followed us.

“Laurent, can I ask you?”

“Anything.” He was stroking my hair again, he was sweet even at this moment.

“Did you make Kervy ‘s parents business bankrupt?”

Laurent froze, he glared at Kervy and when his eyes went back to me, there was nothing except love. “Yes.”

“Why? He didn’t do anything to me-”

“Well, not today.”

“Laurent, please don-”

“Yeah, yeah. Anything for you.” He opened the car and offered to let go inside. “Rest, Baby.”

I glimpsed his face as he gave me a small smile before I went to the car. He grabbed Kervy’s shirt on the shoulder and recklessly put him inside the car. “You’re lucky. Anmela Eris wants you safe.”

Kervy did not speak, he just gave Laurent a scary stare.

In the middle of traveling on the road, we were all silent. The fear was still in my body when the bleeding bodies went to my head. I held Laurent’s thigh and tightened it.

“You still scared?”

I just nodded and held his hand. “Are you going to sleep in my apartment?”

“Yes, for your security.”

A minute of silence again until Kervy broke it. “Sorry.”

I looked back while Laurent stared at him in the front mirror.

“Sorry, Anmela. I was just angry. I didn’t know that they might hurt you. That’s not my intention.”

“That’s okay. I understand you.”

“Sorry, too.” Laurent spoke. His eyes were now on the road. “I was just angry, too. Don’t worry I’ll talk to the investors. Your company deserves recognition.”

I saw the formation of a smile on Kervy’s lips. “Thank you and I’m sorry again.”

“Just don’t harm Anmela Eris again. She’s my life and everything. I’ll give you a second chance,” Laurent said in a low tone.

I gazed at him with my teary eyes. Admittedly, Laurent is different among all guys. He is a tough one, but when it comes to me, he is sweet and soft.

I grabbed a table napkin on the drawer, raised my hands and removed the red stains on Laurent’s face.

“Aren’t you not scared of me?”

My eyebrows went up due to his question. I was about to answer when he spoke again.

“You love a murderer. You’re supposed to be scared.”

I shook my head, I kissed his shoulder and answered in a soft voice. “The scariest thing is when you leave me.”

He automatically stomped the brake, and the car stopped.
