Sorry no update for so long! I was on vacation, but I'm back now with more ideas so keep checking for updates!
Seto looked down at Kamani. She was groaning and tossing in the bed. Tubes were attached to her. It had been a day since he had rushed her to the hospital. The doctor had taken her in at once after he threatened him.
She had not responded to the treatment for the first few hours. However, they managed to get her to respond. Now, she was out of harm's way. She had a fever and a small case of latrophobia. The doctor said it was probably a past experience with a doctor or in a hospital.
He looked down at her as she finally managed to get some rest. Her face relaxed and he could not stop staring at her and her beauty. Again, he felt that he had known her before, in the past. But, that was not possible.
He turned and walked out of the room. Before leaving, he left her a note.
Kamani yawned and opened her eyes. She was in a a white room. She groaned and attempted to move her body. She pulled and felt something slide out of her arm. She looked down and saw a needle slide from her arm. Without meaning to, she let out a scream. She was connected to a heart rate monitor.
She got out of the bed and tried to pull herself away from the machine. She fell and landed on her palm. Suddenly, the door opened and a nurse rushed in. She saw her on the floor and called for the doctor.
Just as the doctor arrived, the nurse was helping her back into the bed.
"Why am I here?" She asked once she was back in the bed. The minute the nurse let go of her, she struggled to stand again. The nurse pushed her gently back into the bed.
"You passed out and had a high temperature. Mr. Kaiba brought you here one day ago and stayed with you." The doctor said. Her head shot up. Kaiba brought her here and he stayed with her?
"Where is he now?" She asked.
"He has to get ready for an important ball tonight." The doctor said. She gasped. The New Year's Ball was tonight and here she was lying in bed in a hospital! She struggled and got to her feet.
"Where are you going Miss Azu? You are not well enough to walk." The doctor scolded her. She shrugged aside his concern and stood.
"I have to leave now." She said. He shook his head.
"No, you are not well enough. You should remain here until one more night." The doctor said. He made his way to stand in front of the door as a way of blocking her only exit. She smiled and stood.
"Please get out of my way." She said kindly as she headed towards the door. The doctor shook his head.
"Mr. Kaiba ordered that I should not let you out until you were at your best health." He said. She scoffed and shook her head.
"Well, I order you to let me go. He is not in charge of me. Now let me go or you will be sorry.
Ten minutes later, Kamani was making her way out of the hospital. She smiled as her limo pulled up and got into it. She had a lot to do tonight and there was no way she was going to stay in the hospital.
She ran to her office the minute she reached her house. She heard footsteps and the door opened. Ben was staring back at her.
"Anzu, where were you? I got a call from the hospital." He said. She nodded.
"I was at the Kaiba mansion and I got sick after Kaiba refused to let me sleep in his bed. I passed out and he had to carry me to the hospital." She said. She noticed Ben staring at her with shock and concern.
"Stay in his bed?" He asked. She sighed.
"It is a long story." She said. He looked at her, his expression hard.
"Nothing happened between us. I promise you that." She said. He didn't seem as if he wanted to let it go so esaily, but he nodded.
"Now, I have to call THomas. We're planning on catching Marc tonight." She said. He nodded and left.
"Yes Thomas. I know." Kamani said. She sighed and listened.
"Are you the detective or me?" She asked. He chuckled.
"Ok miss detective. Good luck tonight. I'm sending Darci for protection and backup." He said. She nodded.
"I will meet you later. Press this if you need any help." He said and handed her a chip. She nodded and put it in her ear.
"Bye. And Happy New Year's Eve." He said. She smiled and nodded.
Kamani took a deep breath and opened the door. Standing there was Kaiba and Mokuba. She smiled at Mokuba, who was dressed in a tux. His girlfriend was with him. She wore a sparkly green dress and looked beautiful. Kamani smiled at her and then directed her attention towards Kaiba.
He was wearing a black tux which ccomplimented his well muscled body. His hair was slick and gelled back. It revealed his cobalt eyes, which were busy taking in her outfit. She tried not to move as his eyes moved down her body and assessed her outfit. She saw a small smile play on the corners of his lips and decided that it meant he liked her outfit and approved. Not that she needed his approval.
"Wow, you looked beautiful Kamani!" Mokuba said when he saw her. She smiled at him.
"Thanks." She said, her eyes glancing over to Kaiba. Mokuba noticed his brother standing there like a statue and decided to bring him into the conversation.
"She looks beautiful in her dress, doesn't she Seto?" He asked, nudging his brother. Seto cleared his throat and mumbled something. Mokuba looked at him puzzled.
"What?" He said. Seto turned away.
"Yes, she looks very beautiful." She said quickly. However, he knew that he meant it. She did look beautiful. Her long black dress clung to her. There was a slit on the right side, revealing her slim and well toned leg. The dress was strapless, held up by nothing except her chest. She wore the same necklace she always wore, the heart one. It looked beautiful as it lay against her skin, as if it were made for her only. Her hair was loose, flowing out behind her. It was curly and looked beautiful.
All in all, she looked like a goddess.
"Well, we should probably be going." Mokuba said. He took the hand of his date and walked towards the limo waiting for them. Before doing so, he turned towards Seto and gestured for him to take Kamani's hand.
Kaiba took her hand and linked it with his own.
"Shall we?" He asked. She nodded and they made their way towards the limo.
Kamani smiled and pulled her hand from Kaiba's and made her way towards Darci. Mokuba looked at her go and then turned towards Seto.
"Who is he?" He asked. Kaiba looked at the man and shrugged.
"I don't keep track of her personal life." He said. He took a drink from a waiter and left Mokuba looking towards Kamani.
Kamani smiled at Darci and took his hand. She pulled him towards the window, aware that Kaiba was watching her.
"Is everything set?" She asked. He nodded.
"Yes, we are prepared for Marc if he comes. We'll get him." Darci said. She nodded and turned to leave. She walked over to the punch bowl and proceeded to get some punch for herself. She turned and almost collided with Kaiba.
"So sorry." She said.
"It's fine." He said. He looked towards the dance floor and then at her.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked. She was taken aback by his question and didn't answer.
"It's fine." He said, and turned to leave after she didn't answer. She snapped back to reality and shook her head.
"No, I would love to dance." She said. He took her hand and walked to the dance floor with her.
"So, what do you think of the ball?" He asked.
"It's nice." She said. He smiled and nodded.
"You were not supposed to be out of the hospital." He said. She laughed.
"I have a lot to do. I can't afford to be in the hospital." She said. He swung her out and nodded.
"I see. You are still attempting the takeover?" He asked, pulling her back in. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Of course." She said as he pulled her towards his chest.
"You won't stop me. You can't stop me." She smiled. He didn't respond and dipped her.
"Are you testing me? Because I assure you, you would be surprised to know what I can do." He said as he leaned over her. She had a shocked look on her face as he pulled her up again.
"Is that a threat?" She whispered in his ears after she recovered. He smirked and flung her out.
"No, just a friendly warning." He said as he pulled her back in.
"Next time, it won't be friendly." He said. She scoffed.
"Oh, I'm scared." She said. He smiled and dipped her once more. As he pulled her up, his face became serious.
"Today is your last day." He said before leaving her on the dance floor.
She growled as she watched him go. Who did he think he was? She would show him.
She began walking behind him when her phone rang. She muttered a curse and walked away to answer it.
"Hello?" She answered as she made her way outside onto the balcony. Thomas' voice sounded on the other end.
"Really?" She asked. She pulled out Dan's phone and entered the pin.
"It worked! Thomas, you are the best!" She smiled. She hung up the phone and opened Dan's recent calls. Marc was the first name she saw. She blocked the number and called it.
She looked up and heard a phone ringing. She turned around, but she didn't see anyone. That was strange as she just heard it ringing. She hung it up and walked back towards the ball.
"Kamani! There you are!" Mokuba called. She smiled as he gestured for her to come. She smiled and went towards him. He motioned towards an old man with glasses. He was dressed in a police outfit, a British police outfit. Mokuba turned back towards her.
"This is Detective Wickham. He is from England and one of the best detectives there is." He said. She smiled and extended her hand to shake his.
"A pleasure." She smiled. He nodded and Mokuba walked away to get some punch. She turned back to him.
"We currently have one of your finest men on the force." She smiled. He turned towards her, his face delighted.
"Really? Who may I ask? Is it Paxton? Or perhaps Stewart?" He asked. She smiled and shook her head.
"No, it is Mellsruis. Darci Mellsruis." She smiled. She watched as his face changed.
"Mellsruis, you say?" He asked. She nodded and her expression began to change.
"Is something wrong?" She asked. He nodded, a bit confused.
"Yes. You see, Mellsruis is dead. He died a few months back." He said. Her face changed to shock.
"What? Are you sure?" She asked. He nodded.
"Of course I'm sure. He was the best of the best." Wickham said.
"Well, thank you." She said. He nodded and turned away to talk to some other people. She walked over to the plant and opened Dan's phone again. She blocked the number and called Marc's phone again. Once more, she heard it ringing. She turned and saw Darci answer his phone. She almost lost her footing from the shock and held onto the rail to steady herself. Quickly, she hung up the phone and walked outside. Her mind was racing. She thought back to their first meeting.
Darci Mellsruis. She scrambled the letters and gasped. Darci Mellsruis. Marcellus Idris. She gasped.
Darci was Marc! She quickly grabbed her phone and called Thomas.
"Hello?" Thomas answered. Kamani took a deep breath.
"Thomas, send backup now!" She growled.
"Is Marc there? You have Darci. I'm sending backup." He said.
"No. Darci is Marc!" She growled.
"What?" Thomas yelled.
"Yes, he was under our noses the entire time." She said.
"Wait there. I'm on my way." He said. Suddenly, something fell behind her. She gasped and turned to see Darci standing there. He smiled at her.
"I knew you would figure it out sooner or later darling." He smiled. He took the phone and smiled.
"No need to send backup Thomas. She has me." He said and then hung up the phone. She growled at him.
"Where is she Marc?" She asked. He chuckled and grabbed her.
"Is that how you greet me after these years?" He asked. He planted his lips on her and kissed her. She struggled to break free, but found herself returning his kiss. Against her will, she found herself grabbing him and clinging to him. He smiled when they pulled apart.
"You were right. I did miss that in jail." He said. He took one look at her and laughed.
"It seems you missed it also." He smirked. She growled and pushed him away.
"Thomas is coming for you." She said. He laughed.
"He has to find us first." He said. He smiled and she felt something hit her in the back of her head. Then, everything went dark.
Mokuba gasped as he saw the man walking away with Kamani. He turned and ran to find Seto.
"Seto." He said, out of breath after he finally found his brother.
"Yes? What is it?" Seto asked.
"That man Kamani was with kidnapped her. He just knocked her out and is taking her to his car." Mokuba tumbled out. Seto turned and looked in the direction Mokuba was pointing. Without another word, he ran off in that direction.
"Kamani!" He yelled once he was outside. He looked around. She was nowhere to be found. Neither was the car.
"Kamani!" He yelled again. Suddenly, something hit him in the back of his head. He groaned as darkness consumed him.
Kaiba groaned and opened his eyes. He raised his hands to rub his head, but couldn't. He looked down and saw that they were tied. He looked over and saw Kamani sitting in a chair, also tied up. Standing in front of them was the man he had seen her with earlier.
"Marc! Let him go! He has nothing to do with this." Kamani growled, gesturing towards Seto. Marc laughed.
"It's his fault for coming after you." He smiled. He walked over to her, a dagger in his hand. He smiled and ran it down her cheek.
"Tell me. Have you enchanted him while I was away? Do you have him eating out of the palm of your hand?" He asked. She didn't answer and he pressed the dagger deeper into her skin, making her cringe. He smiled.
"It seems you have. You were able to melt the heart of the stuck up and cold hearted CEO known as Kaiba." He laughed. Kaiba turned away.
"Well, your beauty is to die for." He smirked and walked over to Kaiba.
"Do you know who I am?" He asked, scowling at Kaiba. Seto laughed.
"You? You are nothing. A no one." He laughed. Marc growled and hit him. Kamani yelled out as it caught Kaiba's face. She watched Kaiba raise his face and smile. There was some blood rolling down the right side of his face. Above his right eye was bleeding.
"Marc, leave him alone!" Kamani yelled. He turned back to her and smiled.
"Fine. I'll leave him alone." He laughed and turned to one of his men.
"Bring her." He ordered. The man returned and Kamani gasped.
"Mommy!" Aenea yelled, running towards her. Marc smiled and grabbed her.
"Now, Kamani, you have two options." He smiled and looked at Seto.
"Either Kaiba dies or," He stopped and looked at Aenea.
"She does. Your choice." He smiled and put Aenea down. He raised his gun and pointed it at her and moved it towards Kaiba. He laughed and switched between the two.
"Pick." He laughed. She growled and struggled in her seat.
"Marc! Don't you dare hurt either one of them!" She screamed. He chuckled and moved the gun towards Aenea.
"Let's see. Would you sacrifice your niece or the only man you ever loved?" He asked, smiling.
