Lock Them Up

"Stop that!' A figure dashed out of nowhere and stood in front of Kira.

Giana panted.

The taxi driver refused to go further when the Rolls-Royce turned onto the patch of no man's land.

"That's the rough area in town.' He shook his head, 'I'm not going in there. I advise you not to go, either."

'I have to go. My friend's in trouble."

Giana paid him a in hurry, jumped out of the car and started sprinting.

She didn't know who else was in the Rolls-Royce, but it sure as hell was not Kira's manager.

Her heart almost stopped when she spotted a figure about to kick Kira's face.

Before she could get a good look at the woman's face, Giana delivered a palm heel strike and knocked the woman to the ground. Frank sprang to his feet.

He aimed a straight punch at the intruder's face.

Giana held an eight-degree black belt in taekwondo.

Amateurs wouldn't survive thirty seconds in a sparring contest with her.

But she trained in the safe environment of a dojang, whereas Frank honed his combat skills in no-holds-barred, bare-knuckle street brawls. The sky was now completely dark.

Giana ducked the first blow, but was thrown off balance.

She stumbled in the darkness as the bodyguard threw one punch after another.

Elbow strike, a left hook, a straight jab, an overhand punch.

Giana was hit multiple times.

A fist slammed hard into her stomach.

Giana groaned, doubling over in pain.

Before she could react, Frank sent her sprawling in the dirt with a vicious round kick.

She lay on her back, out of action.

Kayleigh had picked herself up from the ground.

She came over when Frank had things under control, then she lifted one foot and stepped on Giana's abdomen.

Her four-inch heel delivered another stabbing pain to Gana's stomach..

Giana screamed.

'Gianalnoveldrama

Kira, half-blinded with tears, clambered up from the ground.

Fury made her forget all about her pain.

Luck Hum Up

She groped around on the floor, her hand touching something hard.

Without thinking, she picked it up and hurled it at Kayleigh.

The brick smacked Kayleigh right on the back of her head.

The actress dropped like a tree before she could utter sound. Frank stopped dead.

Her employer lay on the floor, unconscious.

A small pool of blood was soon spreading beneath her.

The scene was plunged into total chaos.

Kai stole a glance at his boss.

They were both seated in the backseat, which made it easy for him to observe Austyn's face.

Though it remained as impassive as ever, Austyn's eyes instantly flicked to his phone whenever it rang o buzzed.

It had been going on for the past two days.

The president never let his phone out of sight and checked it almost every minute.

Right now, for example, he picked it up again.

When he saw there were no missed calls or new text messages, he flung it onto the seat, irritated.

Kai cleared his throat and ventured a question. 'Boss, are you waiting for a call from Young Madam?"

'That's none of your business,' Austyn snapped at his assistant.

Kai offered an apologetic shrug.

'He's getting grumpier now," Kai thought.

When the phone rang, Austyn snatched it up before Kai could react. 'Hello."

'Young Master, it's me."

Austyn's shoulders drooped. 'Oh, it's you."

Elsie looked at the phone in her hand.

Why did Young Master sound displeased when he heard her voice?

'Sorry, am I interrupting?"

Austyn pursed his lips.

He thought it was Kira....

'No. Why are you calling?

'I just want to tell you that I'll be back in two days. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused by leaving so suddenly. "You're on leave?"

'Um, yeah. I'm staying at a hospital to take care of my nephew. I called you three days ago, but you didn't Luck them ou

answer. So I called Young Madam and asked her to pass along the message. She didn't tell you?" Of course not!

Austyn had gotten neither a call nor a text from that woman, for three whole days!

On the radio, the smooth jazz of 'Last Train To Clarksville' was interrupted by the radio presenter's baritone voice.

'Folks, we have breaking news. This just in: Kayleigh Woods, the beloved female lead of the TV series " Dynasties," has just been taken to the hospital on a stretcher. Witnesses on-site claim she's covered in blood. We reached out to Kayleigh's agent, who confirms that the actress has been attacked. The attacker's motive is as yet undetermined, but the agent swears the culprit will not get away with this. Kayleigh's company and agent are throwing their full weight behind the actress. They vow to prosecute the attacker to the fullest extent of the law..."

Kai listened to the announcement with his mouth agape. 'Boss, it's Miss Woods!"

The Range Rover had just entered a tunnel.

Austyn's face was shrouded in flickering yellow light.

Kai held his breath.

"Turn around. Head back to Stamford."

"Yes, Boss.' The driver nodded.

Kayleigh held up a mirror.

She grimaced in agony when she saw the ugly, centipede-like stitches in the back of her head. The doctor had given her over eighty stitches and shaved away the hair around the wound. He warned her there was a slight chance that hair might not grow back at the same spot.

'Aaaaaaahh!" she screamed and dashed the mirror to pieces on the floor.

Kira Hewitt, that bitch!

She had the gall to hit her with a brick!

Hylda Glover pushed open the door gently and walked into the ward.

The agent spotted the broken shards of mirror and wisely kept her mouth shut

She stood some distance away from the bed, out of the range of fire.

Kayleigh was known to hurl and smash things in a tantrum.

When the actress' cheeks were no longer so flushed, Hylda approached tentatively. I've gotten in touch with the company lawyer. He's filing papers with the court. I also pulled a few strings. Those women are going to pay for what they did to you. You should take it easy. The most important thing right now is to take care of yourself."

Kayleigh closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

'Send word to the police. I want the bitches to be locked up tight. No visitors allowed. No food or drinks allowed!"

Hylda was about to say something, but decided against it..

Kayleigh had the support of the McCarthy family behind her.

Lock Thern Up

A- and B-listers who dared to plot against her had disappeared at Mr Austyn McCarthy's behest.

This was something much worse than just spreading rumours about Kayleigh.

She was physically assaulted.

From the little Hylda knew about the M Group's president, it was not going to end well for the two attackers.
