Chapter 16 KNOW HIM FIRST

"Did you feel sorry for her when you touched her! She is innocent and could not fight back! Fuck! Bullshit! Asshole!" He was shouting every curse that came into his mind. I would not believe that this was Laurent.

I was surprised when he actually threw the stone he was holding in the man's face. I cried out again in shock and fear. The man twisted his body because of too much pain. The man was also crying and begging her to stop but she heard nothing.

Are you Laurent? The man that I loved?

"Laurent!" I shouted again but his eyes were still blazing with anger.

My world stopped when he pulled out a gun and pointed it on the man's face. His actions were uncontrollable. I would not imagine that he could be like this. In an instant, the man with a wrinkled forehead turned into a merciless monster who could threaten anyone.

"Laurent!" I shouted low. He was like a deaf person. He could not hear any shout from me.

The man begged again, rubbing his hands while kneeling on the ground. He was looking at Laurent with the spark of fear.

"Don't... I am begging you. Please! No! I don't want to die!" He said while his fear was noticeable. His body was shaking and the pain was on his face.

Where did Laurent's gun come from? What kind of person is he? How did he have it then?

Despite my astonishment I stood up even though my knees were weakening. I ran to Laurent right away and blocked the man.

"Please, don't." My tears were visible on my cheek.

"Stay away, Anmela Eris!" He shouted, sharp eyes staring at the man. He was gritting his teeth and clenching his jaw.

"Please..." I cried and just hugged him.

I could also feel him hugging me with one hand. I hugged him tightly. I was too scared.

In the middle of my tight hug, sobbing on his chest, the sound of a gun shot covered the area.

My eyes widened when I saw Laurent fired it that hit the delicate lower part of the man. The man rolling in pain, holding his manhood, closed eyes and biting his lips.

That was too painful.

"Laurent..." I stared at him, my fear came to life.

Why are you like that? What kind of person are you? Why are you professional in holding guns? Hurt people and beat them up without conscience?

Despite my questions, he hugged me and lowered the gun. I could still hear the man screaming in pain.

"Now, you can't use that anymore," he whispered pertaining to the part that he targeted.

He shot the man's genitals so easily? Without fear? Without double thoughts?

I was still crying but I could feel his tight hug. He took off his jacket and put it on me. He lifted me, carrying on his arms and walked away to the crying man. Until we reached the car, he hopped me in.

He drove without emotion. I could still see his anger because of his tight grip on the steering wheel. The jaw was still cleaning and the eyes were burning. Maybe it would take so long to calm him down.

I was just looking out the window. My tears flowed again. I could not believe what had happened. I did not notice where we were going because my mind was preoccupied as I looked out the window. I just realized that we were in his house. He picked me up again. Lifted me, carrying again on his arm like a baby.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked him as I got off the sofa.

“Because I want to.” He insisted. He sat down next to me. He facepalmed while giggling after that he cupped my hands, so tight.

"You don't know how worried I am!" He said stiffly. His chest was pounding up and down. He was too worried, I guessed.

He approached the wall, prepared his fist and gave it a strong punch. He pushed and punched and punched until I saw the bleeding on his hands.

"Laurent!" I blocked the wall, still the tears glowing. I was scared by him ruining himself.

"You shouldn't have stopped me. I wouldn't hesitate to kill that idiot!"

Really? How easy is it for you to kill people? I wanted to ask him that way, but I was scared for his answer. Afraid of me knowing the truth about his life and what kind of person he was.

He hugged me very tightly. "Are you okay?" In his tone the concern was obvious.

I also hugged him with my hand. "I'm fine."

When he removed the hug, he grabbed both my cheeks.

"I hate to say this, but can you be my girl?"

My eyes widened at what he said, I unconsciously covered my mouth. My heart was pounding so loud and reckless. I felt like I became deaf for a minute.

Is this true? He is asking me to become her girlfriend?

"Laurent!"

We turned to the beautiful woman, tall and like a complexion actress. I guessed it was his sister because they had a lot in common. Her features were like Laurent, but in some angles, not all. I think she is her younger sister because Laurent is obviously older.

"You shouldn't be here bringing a woman!"

“Shut up, Lauressa! "

To my surprise, Laurent lifted me up the stairs again. It was like I almost reached the star, the star was finding its way to give me light.

I looked up at Laurent's face, while I was on his arm. It was like no matter what happened he would not give the entire solar system to me. To be honest, I had no idea why he was doing this to me. I mean, he saved me and now, bringing me to his house without any hesitation. Asking me out of nowhere a question that might not be absorbed by my head. Laurent was really unpredictable. Sometimes mad, sometimes taking care of me. Anyway, there was nothing important except being with him no matter what.

Laurent stopped from raising his feet on the stair when Lauressa spoke.

"You girl! Know him first!"
