Chapter seventy three 73: TWIST

*Most times things don't go the way we expect and when we come at a certain stop we feel everything is stagnant or at a pause, just remember life's a twist and it's never over till your last breath. GIVE IT YOUR BEST*

Lee immediately turned around and moved hurriedly to Adria but stopped midway as his face twisted in pain and confusion as he saw adria struggling to get up and a pool of blood beneath her was this Lisa's blood? he thought to himself as the blood was too much for a missed shot on the wrist. Adria who saw his expression followed his line of sight and it ended at her abdomen which was soaked in blood, she placed her hand at the place and immediately stared back at him in realization.

She forcefully pushed herself up as she turned back to enter her car which her guard was looking for the first aid, she made her way to the passenger seat and ordered her guard "Drive." Lee tried to go to her but they drove off immediately, it took him time to process what just happened as he felt a severe pain in his chest he did not understand why he felt this way but it felt worst as he saw adria hurt and also running from him. He turned to his guard and asked him to get the car he wasn't letting her go through that alone.

Adria brought out the first aid while the car was still moving, she tore out an injection from its pack and pierced it on a medicine bottle before pierced it on herself, it was for her to feel numb for a while and also a Tatanos shot.

"Are you ok ma?." the guard asked worriedly he had seen the bleeding earlier when adria was bossing him around and that's why he went to look for the first aid in the car.

"Hmm drive to the closet hospital." Adria said as she closed her eyes and breathed slowly.

Getting to the hospital Adria had already passed out so he carried her into the hospital and the doctors attended to her.

Lee felt so restless so he went to adria's house but didn't see her there but Akio, he ordered a meal for Akio while he waited for Adria, after some hours Adria wasn't still back, Lee kept pacing from place to place in her sitting room. After some hours Adria guard came in to grab some essential.

"Where is she?."

"At the hospital." the guard said as he grabbed the things he needed, Lee followed him back to the hospital.

They waited outside as Adria was being operated on, when they were done and finally brought out the bullet they came out assured the both of them that she would be ok and just needed to rest.

Lee and the guard stayed all through the night, later the guard went to get food for them and the nurses let Lee enter the room he sat next to the sleeping lady "Life can be really funny you know, I never thought I'll get to see you like this again, in this same position with you even when we didn't know each other." he chuckled painfully "I never thought in a hundred years that I'll be here in the hospital hoping some one will be okay or transfer there pain to me." he held her hand tightly as he lend and pegged her on her forehead "Please get better adria please." he rested his head on the little space by the bed.

Adria woke up in the middle of the night just to see Lee laying his head on the bed, she stared at him for a while contemplating if she should wake him up or not, she decided to let him be as she came down for her bed to grab water.

"What are you doing!." Lee who just woke up asked worriedly.

"Oh." adria turned as she was shocked by the sudden voice behind her "I..I wanted water."

"I'll get it for you, please go back to bed." he said as he took the water to her, he sat for a while as he watched her gulp down the water after she was done he dropped the water she requested for food and Lee got food for her, adria enjoyed making her lazy boss work for her as she had worked for him, she stared at Lee for a while and asked "Where's she?."

"Who."

"The lady earlier."

"Oh Lisa."

"Yes."

"Well."

"Don't tell me you arrested her."

"No no, I took her to a mental house."

"Oh."

"Yh."

Lee stayed there till Adria was ok and discharged from the hospital, he offered for her to stay at his place so she could recovery fully but she refused, she went back to her house and ordered Lee not to follow her.

Lee wasn't someone who could be controlled so he refused and followed her home adria was angry as he refused to listen to her.

Arriving at home, she ordered her guard to leave as she was ok and needed to be alone she also told Lee too but Lee refused stating he was her boss and had to know and ensure his employees safety.

Adria ignored his persistence and began to walk to Akio's room ignoring Lee who kept calling and following her, she entered Akio's room, she stared at the little boy who was sleeping peacefully and gave a sign to lee to keep shut as she stared at Akio and kissed his forehead, after Adria checked on the sleeping kid she heading to her room and Lee still trailed behind her as they spoke to each other.

"So you want to lock me out huh you don't want to talk about what happened when it's my fault huh you want me to live with regrets and act like you were hurt because of me."

"Lee I'm sorry I'm not in the mood, I need to rest and nothing is your fault you aren't L..lisa neither did you pull the trigger so leave it be." Adria turned to her room door and entered quickly with the thought of locking Lee out but he was smarter and caught up with her plan, he pushed the door and adria immediately got grabbed by him, he gave her a tight hug as he shut the door with his leg "I don't want to loose you Adria."

Adria chuckled at her bosses stupid reaction "Oh please your just a bit shaken, later you'll go back to your lousy self." she said as she tried to push him away.

"No never." he tightened his hug.

"Let go your hurting me." Adria said as she couldn't take the closeness anymore, Lee loosen his grip immediately as he heard her comment.

Adria strolled to her bed as she laid there while staring at her boss who was staring back "Aren't you gonna leave?."

"No."

"Ha you're joking."

"I'm not." he strolled to her bed and Adria got up immediately so he wouldn't lay on her bed, Lee drew her closer as he held her closely and stared straight in her eye "I'm not gonna hurt you Adria, I promise." and with that he sealed it with a quick kiss.

Adria stared at him in confusion as the atmosphere just turned intense with just a kiss which she would consider a peck, they stared at each other for a while and Lee came closer as he kept his eyes on her full lips, Adria swallowed as she felt his stares made her feel a kinda way, slowly he bent over and caught her lips as he took her curly hair behind her ear, they shared a passionate kiss but adria broke off the kiss and went to her bed as she turned to him "Aren't you still leaving?."

"No."

"Ugh." Adria tried to take off her shoes but couldn't due to laziness and also her wound on her hips which had healed but she still didn't want to make certain movement that might cause a complication or something, seeing this Lee decided to helped her.

"Well I want to strip, can you leave." Adria said as she just wanted to get rid of him, he hadn't been a good person this few months and now because she got shot he takes pity and they shared a kiss how pathetic nice one Lee she thought to herself.

Lee stared at her for a while probably guessing what's on her mind as he smirked "I'm still not leaving Adria." he said as he began to undo the botton on his shirt.

"No..no." Adria said as this wasn't what she expected, this wasn't the confidentiality she wanted.

When Lee was done, he took off the shirt Adria stared as she couldn't handle this hotness, this man sure did a lot of workouts Adria thought as she battled with her nasty demons, come to think of it we already had each other once so this wasn't really bad was it? well i won't let lust come in between my part right now and this Lee shouldn't be trusted right?

Lee turned "I won't look while you change."

or should he? "Ugh." Adria struggled inwardly. Adria had, had it with this asshole but something else caught her attention the tattoos on his back but due to the singlet she really couldn't see it she quickly changed her clothes, "I'm done."

"Good now move so I can sleep."

"What!?."

"Move adria and stop getting ideas." Lee said, Adria moved and they laid together as they stared at each other Adria voiced out "This doesn't change anything, I still hate you."

"Hmm." Lee said.

"Your still my annoying boss who embarrassed me and asked me to take my natural hair to work."

"Well cause I like it, I like your curly hair."

"Oh please." Adria rolled her eyes.

"That's enough go to bed." Lee shushed her.

"But-."

"Shhh." lee placed his finger on his lips as he put her to sleep, while she slept Lee stared at her peaceful face he moved his hand to her injured area and touched the surface but the sleeping adria frowned.

"I'm sorry adria did I cause you discomfort?." he asked in a low voice as he stared at the sleeping lady he pulled closer and kissed her forehead,he eventually also slept off.
