The Ceo's Quake

Chapter 02

Daron was released that same moment.

He fell to the ground feeling his flesh burn.

"Ha!" He tried to express his pain but he couldn't... The pain he felt was stronger than anything he had ever gotten in his life.

Elisa immediately removes her neck warmer and carries her husband over herself.

"Hahaha! That should teach him a good lesson!" Madam Denilson said as she laughed.

"Mother, why?" Elisa asked.

"If you don't marry Mr. Charles, I would take his life, and you know... I run one of the greatest security companies, so not even the government will be against me!" She said wickedly to Elisa as the parlour door opened with Henderson Charles waling straight to where Elisa was.

"I heard about the fun activity and decided to come watch it live." Mr. Henderson Charles said as he caressed Elisa's hair while she held her husband.

"You should listen to your mother and spare the poor man's life." He mocks aggregating Elisa.

"He's my husband, he is no poor man!" She said as she spat on Henderson's face.

Madam Denilson immediately grabs Elisa by her hair to punish her for that act but Henderson stops her as he cleans the spit on his face.

"Don't be rude, if you divorce him and marry me, I will help him get a doctor to treat him and offer him a reputable job so he can live a happy life, except without you, so you literally have no choice." Henderson said with an evil smirk.

"I hate you so much, I will rather die than leave my husband for you." Elisa cried as Daron held onto her stomach as she glared at Henderson, noticing that Daron needed immediate treatment.

"Haha! I like your type, but let me remind you, aside from your mother's threat to kill him... I have enough money to kill him and close his case in less than twenty four hours, so you pick..." He said as he collected a gun from his security... Cracks it and points it right at Daron' head.

"Deal or no deal?" He asked.

"Ahh... Deal." Elisa said as she brought Daron into a hug crying right into his neck.

"Aww... Sorrows, sorrows... Prayers." Henderson said as he gets up and madam Denilson orders the guards to carry Daron away from her sight.

Elisa who happens to be a two degree holder in medicine and criminology attends to her husband in his room, treating his face as different thoughts begin to go through her head.

She began to wonder if Daron was worth it.

Especially now that his face was destroyed.

Daron was incredibly handsome before but now that he looks like a gruesome troll, can anybody ever be in marriage with a person like him?

The answer to her questions was no.

She prefered someone rich and powerful.

She was intending to ignore her love for Daron.

"If I was ever going to rebel against my step mother then I need to marry Henderson." Elisa said to herself with her love for Daron going to waste.

She loved him but she had accepted a deal to betray him in ways he might never forgive.

Hence the main reason she accepted that marriage was not just because of Love but for Power... She could sell Daron for all she cares, even though she loves him very much.

She was just not in support of how he was treated because it reminded her of how stained her life was because of him.

She started suffering from the first day her father brought him home as her husband before dying and Daron has been nothing but disgrace to her hence she wouldn't lose her husband for anyone.

She fell in love with him due to his persistence to get her into loving him, but now... All she wants is money and power, the whole act she displayed at the parlour was to get Henderson to propose of which she had already accomplished.

Hence she noticed Daron had fast regenerating cells that healed him up faster than she expected.

Daron woke up in the evening of that day but one thing was certain about his condition.

He was blind!

"Elisa!" Daron called in tears as he realised that he shouldn't have let those guards hold him down... Now he has losts his eyes and handsomeness forever as he was now beyond redeemable from his present Condition.

He then falls to the ground.

The last thing he could remember was Henderson Charles waling into the scene.

"Elisa... Don't leave me." Daron cried.

He feared he had lost his wife.

He loved her so much and wanted her to bear his child, so losing her to his nemesis meant War.

He always knew he couldn't trust Henderson Charles as he and Elisa disguised their relationship under friendship, Daron knew they were more to it.

How long was he going to suffer here?

He rubbed a ring on his finger.

"Promise me that you will only activate this ring with your blood when you're ready to return." He remembers what his grandfather had told him to do with it, long ago, when he was still a child.

He tries to see again and realises that he was able to see with his left eye, hence it was blurry... He could tell he was in Elisa's apartment.

"Elisa." Daron called using the room walls to head towards the door only to be hit by the door.

"Where do you think you are going to?" Madam Denilson's voice stormed through the room.

He became worried immediately for Elisa, he was never scared of Madam Denilson... He was only afraid of her plan for Elisa who was easily manipulated, but little did know that Elisa had her own plans for herself due to his condition.

"From today, you are no longer the husband of my daughter, you look very ugly now, your handsomeness is more like a joke compared to how handsome you looked before... If only you accepted to be my man, things would have been different!" Madam Denilson said.

Yes! She had always had fantasies for Daron but since he refused... Things got worse for him.
