Chapter 248 - Being a human is really hard

Callum felt something off and slowly opened his eyes.

He thought it was his man that arrived with what he requested for, which was why he laid still, even when the sound of the opening made its way to his ears.

But that wasn't what awaits him when he looked towards the direction of the entrance.

He saw a group of men that were staring at him like a pack of hungry beasts that were bound from moving.

That bound that's keeping them from devouring him was Leo's order. 

Some of them, who are Leo's men to be specific, looked so red with anger as they glared at him.

He believes only one word from Leo and they will kill him.

Instead of panicking, or showing a reaction that was befitting for someone that just got caught in this situation, he looked calm and even scoffed.

He realized that he lost again. 

Despite everything, he loose again.

Leo still managed to find him in the end, despite all his preparations and effort to make this a perfect plan.

The area had no CCTV, which he was sure that Leo could easily hack into and find them, yet he still managed to.

The place wasn't a storage room or some mansion, it was a god damn underground and here he was, discovering it.

It hasn't even been up to two days he managed to get her to himself and now he would be taking her away.

"Leo….. Leo….." Clara muttered in her sleep, which made Leo finally returned to his senses.

He was so shocked that it was this bastard and imagined whether the bastard had touched her for her to suddenly look so drained, which put his brain function to halt.

He took a better look at her. Her eyes shut during the muttering and a drop of tears streaming down to the side of her face.

His heart broke.

Callum frowned.

Clara had muttered Leo's name before, but he didn't mind it since it's just her wishful thought which was impossible, but now Leo is here and things are different. 

The situation is not in his favor.

Leo felt his heart squeeze as he stepped toward the bed, while Callum released Clara's hand as Leo's sharp blazing gaze was now glued to it and smiled.

"Mr Raymond, you are here." He said.

Leo ignored him and went to pick Clara from the bed. "I'm here." He said, hugging her to his chest and resting his chin on her head with a pain expression on his face.

As for Callum, he couldn't even point on what to do to him at the moment.

For now, he just wanted to make sure his woman is alright.

Hearing Leo's voice, Clara opened her eyes and couldn't believe Leo was really here.

Her irises were red and lips pale. She felt so drained. 

"Am I dreaming?" She asked with a weak tone and slowly reached up her hand to touch Leo's face to confirm that this isn't a dream.

That she will be free from this psycho who wanted her with force.

Leo placed a soft kiss on her forehead, after kissing her hand and helped her drop it to her side, not to stress her. "No, you are not dreaming. I'm sorry that I'm late, baby." He said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Being a human is really hard." Clara said before passing out again. This time, she collapsed without any will to wake up in case Callum will try to touch her.

She felt that she's safe now and was very weak already.

Callum wasn't planning to just watch them like that. He believed that there's no way to have this woman now.

Even if she wouldn't belong to him, then she wouldn't belong to Leo as well.

None of them will have her.

"Boss!" One of Leo's boys screamed, as Callum pulled out a gun in a swift movement. 

He has let them relax while watching Leo and Clara, but he thought wrong.

Bang!

A shot was heard and Callum dropped the gun subconsciously as a bullet passed through his hand that was about to shoot Leo.

It was one of Tim's boys who fired the shot, because if Leo got shot, they should as well just die here, or else their boss will kill them himself.

Leo pulled out his gun and then..

Bang!

Bang! 

He sent a shot through Callum's head and his head that wanted his woman.

His mouth went agape as his body hit the floor with a loud thud after slipping down from the bed.

Leo's eyes remain the same.

"Destroy the whole place." He said and slowly picked Clara's up in his arm, and began heading out of the place, while staring at her.

He bit down on his lips as tears streamed down his face.

Please don't be hurt.

Please lord, I hope he didn't touch her.

He wished and prayed because he didn't want the event to traumatize her.

It was obvious that she would be affected, especially since it's her first time being such a helpless state, but if the guy has done what he shouldn't do with her, it will be hard for Clara to get over it.

He felt so scared and soon, he got to the spot where their cars were parked.

"Mommy!" Belle exclaimed and seeing her not moving, "she died?" She asked.

"No." Leo replied.

"No. I mean passing out?" She asked again, because that was the question she wanted to ask in the first place.

"Yes. She will be alright, don't worry." Leo assured as he saw her expression sank.

Her little brain still wondered if she caused it.

He got into the back seat with her, while Lincoln and Belle sat at the front.

They drove to a hospital directly. Anyone nearby, since the place is very far into the isolated area.

Fear still lingered in his heart.

He asked for series of test to be made on her to make sure she's alright
