Turning quickly on his heel Tony made his way back to the reception area with a rigid Carla in his arms. She was frightened to move and part in shock about what she had just heard, why had Tony said forever at the end of that sentence? Her mind was in overdrive over the whole thing because how on earth had Tony got away with this.

"Carla" suddenly called out a familiar voice from behind and over Tony's shoulder.

Tony's pace quickened as he headed for the bottom of the stairs, which upon reaching them he stopped abruptly, and lowered Carla down onto her feet. She suddenly felt herself letting out a deep breath almost as a sigh of relief at being free of Tony's grip but before she had a chance to move he'd grabbed her wrist. Tugging with a considerable amount of force Tony tried to lead Carla up the stairs but wasn't off to a good start. Tripping on the first stair Carla fell to her knees, the layers of the dress luckily adding some padding and a form of protection.

Liam reached her seconds later and made a grab for her other hand. Gently he lifted it and squeezed tightly. She turned her head to look up at him and although sniffling and feeling tearful she managed a smile. Tony started to pull violently on her other arm making her body jerk suddenly in his direction but Carla ignored him.

The sight of Liam's gorgeous face had her captivated even though it was patchy with small cuts and bruises, but it only added to his handsomeness in Carla's eyes. Carla squeezed Liam's hand back gently in a silent attempt as if to say 'rescue me' as she gazed longingly into his eyes. Liam noticed they were missing their usual gleam and twinkle they usually had when she saw him and could see they were full of sorrow.

Tony felt his rage building at the sight of his newly wed wife and her lover at his feet. Tugging once again on Carla's arm he managed to break them up, her hand slipping quickly from Liam's suddenly relaxed grip. He wasn't going to put up with this and so with all his strength began to drag Carla slowly up the staircase one step at a time.

Reaching out her arm and extending her fingertips as far as she could Carla tried desperately to catch Liam's hand but they just kept missing by a couple of centimetres. Liam cursed his injuries for they weakened him and made him slow at trying to catch up and keep the stamina he needed to reach the women he loved so desperately. Moaning and groaning he continued to follow Carla's slow moving body as it disappeared further up the staircase, the gap between them slowly beginning to increase.

"LIAM" yelled Carla as Tony stopped to open the door to their room.

The bottom of Carla's dress disappeared through the closing hotel room door just as Liam was approaching. Attempting to quicken his pace he tried to make it before it closed in his face but he was only seconds too late. Taking a deep breath and a moment to collect himself and build his energy back up Liam stood just opposite the door and stared at it hard. Raising his left fist first he rested it gently against the door, taking one more deep breath he straightened himself up and then started banging uncontrollably upon the door with both his clenched fists.

"Tony…TONY" he yelled repeatedly, his shouts slowly increasing in volume with every word.

Tony had pulled Carla up from the floor and literally pushed her back into a corner where he grabbed her wrists at her sides and pinned her there. She was scared but somehow managed to keep her cool as he grinned wickedly at her. His silence was even creepier than his stare as he seemed to examine her momentarily as his hot and heavy breath beat erratically against her skin as he tried to regulate himself to a normal, less worked up state.

Carla knew he'd exhausted himself and if she wasn't restricted by a ridiculous dress she would have defended herself, put up a fight and made a run for it whilst she had the chance. Breathing heavily herself she waited for his next move, all she needed was for him to let go of her for long enough that she could change her position and get in a closer position to the exit. Luckily Tony did just that and backed away a step or two but it wasn't enough for Carla to sneak passed him without getting herself caught again.

Suddenly feeling desperate Carla raised her arm in an attempt to smack Tony and take him by surprise but he was quick to counteract her action with right hook of his own. It clipped Carla's cheek and knocked her head with force back against the wall where for a second she rested as her eyes closed slowly. Carla's body then dropped quickly to the floor where she heaped in what looked like a terribly uncomfortable position. Tony smirked as he looked down on her, he wasn't proud of having to keep wraps on his wife like this but at least her unconsciousness would give him time to get rid of Liam without her knowing what he'd actually done.

Outside Liam had beat the door so hard the sides of his hands were red raw and starting to bruise. He'd already made such a scene that he'd become a nuisance to other quests in the hotel. He was unaware but he was only one more quest complaint away from being escorted from the premises.

"TONY" shouted Liam in one last deep bellow.

Huffing at the noise coming from outside his room a frustrated Tony strode over to the door and decided with Carla otherwise engaged he could deal with Liam himself. Opening the door he was met by Liam almost falling straight into him. Before Liam could react Tony grabbed the scruff of his t-shirt and pulled him inside where he promptly shoved him up against the nearest wall.

Liam could feel Tony's breath beating right into his face and turned his face away awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact with the mad man. This is when his eyes started to dart desperately around the room looking for Carla but she was nowhere to be seen, the bed hid her slumped and lifeless looking body. He could feel his nerves on edge and his heart rate slowly increasing, as he feared for her, after all the mood Tony was in who knew what he was capable of. Liam however a poor unsuspecting victim in Tony's eyes was about to find out.
