Chapter 51 ~ A Stuck Up Advisor

Outside Akira could spot the sky turning into hues of orange and yellow. The room she was in was unfamiliar but this was the least of her concern for her stomach kept churning in pain. Bile was rising and she desperately needed to vomit.

Sweat covered her forehead and tears filled in her brown eyes. She walked by placing her hands on the wall to support her body weight. Luckily the room wasn't locked and she stepped into the hallway. Assuming the toilet would be the last door; she walked straight but with each step her stomach tightened and ached even more. She turned the knob and pushed it opened with a loud sound. Nausea itch her throat and everything she ate during brunch gushed out of her mouth.

She heaved, her stomach turning upside down and she vomited again, her body giving up but someone held her hair back and ran his hand down her back.

"You'll be fine," a deep voice tried to reassure her.

By then her body was at its weakest and tears slid down her pale cheeks. Akira breathed hard, feeling a bitter taste in her mouth. Another round of warm liquid spilled from her mouth. She coughed, watching the mess and stood up with the help of the stranger. He flushed the toilet for her and guided her towards the ceramic wash basin.

He placed her hair behind her ears and held her arms while she leaned and took in water in her mouth to get rid of the foul taste. Akira also splashed it on her face, repeating the process few times.

Now that her stomach is emptied and her brain felt on fire, she realized her legs would give up if it wasn't for the strong hold on her arms. She raised her head and saw Zaid Adeeb Tahir's reflection on the mirror. Her eyes widened slightly.

Every piece of information she has about this dangerous drug dealer came into mind but the worst of them was Akil and Zaid being sworn enemies.

She shivered, her head feeling light and in desperate need of help. She grabbed the towel and wiped over her face but the tears didn't stop. It dropped in silence. He removed his hands and she turned towards him trying to take a step out of the washroom but her skin went pale and everything started turning black around her.

"Akira," he exclaimed and she felt his arm circling around her waist while another went behind her head. His face started to become blurry as her eyelids blinked through her half closed eyes.

"Isabella, get here right now."

It didn't take long for his wife to appear. Shock spread across her face seeing Zaid trying to help this girl out.

"I told you to give her only half of a vial of the drug."

He reminded, taking a look at Akira who has already passed out in his arm. Isabella smiled and crossed her arms beneath her chest. She took pride in the consequences of her vile actions.

"She has to pay for ruining my apartment and I don't understand your pity towards this little bitch. Besides you're a drug dealer. Clap some hands for your genius mind."

"This wasn't the plan."

"I know but I like seeing my enemies suffering. I don't care how old is she but she learnt a lesson today. Never threaten Isabella Grayson and I hope you, dear husband, could learn a thing or two before crossing my path. Put her to bed and come watch the sunset with me."

"No, you can watch it with that psychopath Jay. I'm going to stay with her because I don't trust that man."

"He will not touch her under my roof Zaid."

"I'm not taking chances with a man whose kill count is more than me and has a sick mind similar to Akil. I think you should be vigilant too and not drunk in his presence."
