Everyone started running out of that place. The crew, the staff, all of the actresses and actors were trying to save themselves.
July also was in panic. She couldn't see anything as her eyes had not yet adjusted to this sudden situation, where at first the room was brightly lit before it went very dark, and now it was blazing with fire again.
All of that happened in the span of a few seconds.
July was trying to find an exit door, but then someone grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to his chest, as he covered her face and hugged her protectively. In the next second, all the commotion had died down as July could no longer hear their screams.
And when she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside a cozy room, far from the panicked roars and shouts in the location where she was shooting her movie.
"Where are we?" She looked around her surroundings and finally realized she was in a hotel room. Knox had taken her to this place with his power.
It was one of the perks of having such an ability, you can go anywhere you like without wasting even a second of your time.
"Knox!" July called his name in a reprimanding tone, but that man had sat down on the seat near the balcony, with the sunset as his background.
He looked surreal and very handsome, distracting July from her anger. It was hard to stay angry when this man, who was sculpted perfectly, was smiling at her in an arrogant way. He knew he had bagged this challenge.
"What?" Knox asked, he stretched out his hand, waiting for July to take it before sitting on his lap.
However, July was stubborn, she tried her best to not be tempted by that invitation, because she knew her anger would be forgotten once he started touching her.
"Why did you do this?!" She folded her arms in front of her chest, while standing sullenly before Knox's eyes. She wouldn't dare to go close to him before she gave him an earful. "You set the filming location on fire!"
Knox had the audacity to tilt his head before he looked at her innocently. "No one died today, shouldn't you be happy about that?"
What kind of logic is he trying to sputter now?
"Come here," Knox coaxed her again, but July was still frozen in her place. "I didn't kill anyone and I will not do anything outrageous if it will ruin your reputation, but until you ask them to change the scene, your movie will find these kinds of issues, every time you are so eager to kiss another man."
July pressed her lips. Knox was so cute when he threatened someone else's life, while talking casually, as if they were discussing the weather.
"That's in the script."
"Change it."
"Into what? A sex scene?"
And that was the last straw for Knox's patience. July knew that patience had never been his forte, and so she saw him rise to his feet before kissing her hard on the lips, as he growled dangerously.
Knox bit her lips slightly harder, until she groaned in pain, but she liked the taste of his possessiveness when he did that.
"I dare you to do that and I will set them on fire," he warned her viciously, as he bent his body slightly and lifted her swiftly, letting her wrap her legs around his hips, as he carried her to the bed. "Understood?"
July purposely didn't answer him and this only drove Knox crazy. He didn't want anyone to touch her and her profession as an actress didn't help at all.
Knox threw her on the bed and glared at her warningly. "Love, behave, or else, you will not like what I am going to do to you."
July bit her lips, she reciprocated his hard and sexy glare. "Really? But, why am I looking forward to it?"
And soon she would regret provoking this man…
======================
All the plans had been prepared and just waited to be set in motion.
Sol had been planning all of this for a month since Gael McKeltar took Lise away from him. He needed such a long period of time because he wanted this plan to succeed.
He had seen what had happened with the last plan, it had been a complete failure and he didn't want something like that to happen again.
They needed to get Lise away from Gael and kill that man. This time, he would make sure that the creature died in his hands.
There was no word that could make Sol calm down before he had Lise in his arms again. Not even July could talk him out of this.
At first, he wanted to ask July to help them to escape from the clutches of the organization, but Lise's condition became worse and he couldn't move her recklessly without medical support.
Even until now, Sol was still thinking that Lise's deteriorated health was because of her guilty feeling and another aspect that ruined her mental health, which made her body grow weak and she fell sick.
"Are you ready for tonight?" Jasmine asked, she was in her black attire that could hide many small weapons. "Ready to take your girl again?" she glanced at the device in Sol's hand, indicating the location of Lise.
At first, Sol was angry because they put the tracker inside Lise's body without saying anything to him, but now he was a little bit grateful for that, because without this, they wouldn't know where Gael had been hiding Lise.
"Let's go," he said grimly and took the gun from the top of the cabinet, as he put the device into his pocket.
Behind the door, there were around two dozen people, who would help them in bringing back Lise, and were the people from the government. Jasmine and Sol would lead them, and they would be separated into two teams.
