Deprived Love - Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Third person's pov
Having something is better than nothing.
It doesn't sound right in the case of love. Falling in love but not being able to live your love story is like a curse. One thinks it was better to have love not-at-all rather than having an incomplete love story.
A person who got a blanket can't strive in cold thunderstorms without it even if he was enduring the cold before getting a blanket. Now that he was habitual of the warmth that blanket provided he couldn't just go back to cold without depending on it.
All this philosophy explains Chris's feeling when he saw Bella being taken away from him. He was okay with Bella's hatred towards him, he was okay without Bella in his life too. Though he was just breathing not living his life but now after he experienced Bella's care and warmth during his hospital stay, he couldn't help but keep falling deeper and deeper every passing day.
He would've died if he had not saved Bella from getting shot that day. But now after he had a hope of them being together… now that he knew Bella would maybe love him, unknown by the fact that she already loves him…. He was sure he would burn the world if anything happened to Bella.
Now he will not just die or be depressed but he will be a monster that the world would be not ready to witness. He will burn every corner of the world where Bella is not there. He was ready to fight with the god himself so the mere human creatures were not such a competition for him.
All that Chris saw was red, an urge to kill whoever came in his way took over him. He didn't feel like crying because he knew he would not let anyone harm what's his… and would punish every soul who was involved in taking Bella away from him.
“The fuck Chris! Can't you wait for at least a day. Our men will bring Bella. We know Jack's whereabouts.” Liam uttered.
“No bro… I can't wait for a single minute. You can go back home, I'll take care of it.”
Chris whispered.
They were out of the building where Jack was keeping Bella, sneaking behind a bush. During his torturing sections, Liam planted a tracker chip inside Jack's flesh, he knew there was a probability as Jack had someone's back so he would flee away.
“I thought we will be able to know who the fucking is helping Jack, when he escaped. I thought he would directly run to that bastard after escaping, but he kidnapped Bella instead.” Liam whispered.
“That bitch was blinded by revenge, Liam.”
There were two vans outside the building and some men appeared, they were discussing something. Both the males tiptoed to hear the conversation.
“Four of you go on Van 567, and you-” the masked man pointed to a buff man, “you will drive. Take route two, maybe the girl will scream for help so we shouldn't risk taking route one.”
“Can't we just inject her with anaesthesia, so she would not scream?”
“No, she will not wake up anytime soon, she needs to be conscious for the auction.”
The man discussed more details, Chris and Liam exchanged glances, they both smirked nodding with understanding.
Chris took a stone and threw it a few metres away from them.
The men paused from their discussion, gesturing to the buff man to check where the sound came from.
The buff man nodded and ran towards the bushes trying to find the source of the sound. Chris gestured Liam and Liam tip-toed towards the buff man, the buff man was about to turn when he heard footsteps but Liam pressed the needle on the man's neck and he fainted in seconds.
He fell on the ground with a thud alarming the other men. Chris and Liam could not get out of the bushes, because the cameras would capture them if they went out.
Two more men came, one was about to scream after looking at the fainted man but Chris silenced him by pressing his hands on his mouth before pushing the needle like Liam did before.
Within minutes all the men were on the ground, Chris smirked and Liam grinned.
Chris got off the bush before scanning the background before sitting in the van. Now no one would suspect him as he was wearing the uniform one of the men wore before. He drove the van near the bushes, the area seemed some metres far away from the building so it failed to get the guard's attention.
Liam also came into view after wearing the same uniform. They dragged two of the men inside the van making them sit as they were still conscious. Liam covered the man's closed eyes with black shades.
According to their plan, Chris sat in the van where Bella was supposed to come as they heard the man's discussion. Chris was furious when he came to know that Jack was planning to sell her off.
And Liam sat in the next van with an unconscious man in which Jack was supposed to come.
The other two men whose uniforms Chris and Liam took, laid unconscious behind the bushes, wrapped from Liam and Chris's jacket. They were tied with ropes.
After an hour Chris's boring expression changed to a soft one when he saw Bella from the front mirror, he felt a pang in his chest when she saw how vulnerable Bella looked, her gleaming eyes were swollen… indicating that she cried too much.
He could see how much Bella felt uncomfortable wearing those clothes, Chris' hands clenched into a fist, he swore that he would give such a bitter death to Jack that he would beg to let him die. Bella was close to the vehicle but one thing caught his eye that made Chris's eyes widen.
Bella had a mark on her exposed neck.
Chris gritted his teeth but he took long breaths to calm himself down.
The door was opened and he saw a lady pushing Bella inside the vehicle harshly. His grip around the steering wheel tightened.
The vehicle roared back to life, Bella didn't once glanced at him, she looked numb.
After some minutes she sniffed, “Don't ruin your makeup.” The lady uttered blankly.
“Can't you at least let me cry? You expect me to be happy in this situation. Bloody heartless bitch!” The lady gasped and was about to say something when the driver interrupted them.
Chris felt so proud for her love, he loved her sassy attitude.
“That's my girl!” He eyed the lady from the front mirror who was staring back in horror. “Don't even dare to touch my darling, you bitch!”
He stopped the van in a corner and took off his black glasses revealing his beautiful hazel eyes followed by his mask which revealed his smirk.
“Chris!” Bella uttered with a smile.
“Baby, Don't worry, okay? I am here now.” Chris whispered gently.
Bella smiled, her eyes glistening with tears.
“What are you two doing, kill him!” The lady ordered the two men.
Bella's eyes widened, she shook her head furiously. She couldn't let Chris die, she just got her Chris back after so many months. But she came out of thoughts when she saw Chris laughing his heart out.
“Take their glasses away, old lady.” The lady hesitatingly removed the glasses, her eyes widened in horror and Bella's eyes widened in amusement, when both of them saw the unconscious men.
The lady was about to do something when Chris opened the back door and pressed an injection on the lady's pale skin. She fell to Bella's lap.
Bella's gaze moved from the lady to Chris. Bella shoved the lady away from her with a disgusted expression and got out of the van. She jumped in Chris's arms, and Chris wrapped his arms around Bella's waist.
“I was scared, Chris.” Bella whispered sobbing.
“Hey, it's okay. I am here now. Everything is gonna be alright.” Chris whispered back, tapping on Bella's back gently.
Bella withdrew from the hug and Chris wiped her tear away gently.
Their staring section was interrupted when another van stopped in front of them followed by a car.
Jack furiously got out of the van and a wrinkled old man got out of the car. Chris instantly realised that the old man was one who had Jack's back all alone.
“How'd you get here? Why are all my people unconcious ?” Jack spat.
“Is he your sugar daddy Jack?” Chris asked looking at the old man.
Jack gritted his teeth in annoyance, “shut up you bastard!”
Chris gently gripped Bella's wrist pushing her to his back protecting her. Bella cursed herself as she got butterflies by Chris's protectiveness in this tense situation.
The old man took a gun from his pocket and aimed it towards Chris and Jack smirked.
“Die, Chris! You should've died soon. But it's not too late.”
Bella shivered, shaking her head violently.
She looked at Chris but he didn't have a single look of fear, he was smirking making the old man furious.
Bella froze and covered her ears by the gunshot.
