Chapter 74: I Saved You
Chapter 74: I Saved You
At 5AM in Jansu Island, the skies were still dark. The sun has yet to rise for another half an hour, yet the lights were out again.
"What the hell!" One guard exclaimed, noticing the generator was cut off. "What's wrong with the power this time?"
With Winfield's men turning off the power, commotion arose from outside the mansion.
Blake Taylor's head of security rushed down to the basement, hoping to find out what was the problem. He flashed his lights as he went down the stairs, only to be taken aback, seeing three of his men unconscious, lying down on the floor.
"Fuck - Ahhh!" The moment the head of security turned around, silenced shots went to his arms and thighs. He wound up falling down the stairs, tumbling to the ground.
While groaning in pain, the man attempted to warn his co-security, "We - we have intruders! We - "Ahhh!"
His words were cut off with the gurgling sound of his throat, as the man chocked from a soldier's arm, wrapped around his neck.
An injection stabbed his back, and he fell unconscious in seconds.
Simultaneously, outside the mansion, one man asked, "Did you hear that? Wasn't that the boss?"
"I don't know, man - Ahhh! Fuck!"
"Ahhh!"
"We are under attack!"
"Take cover - Ahhh!"
More screams came from the guards around the mansion as more silenced guns fired in their direction. Four were immediately taken down, all were injured in the arms and legs, unable to move or shoot back.
It did not take long for the security to counter, firing in no specific direction. They did not know where the shots were coming from, but they tried to keep cover.
Soon enough, shots also came from the second-floor rooms and it startled the guards. More of their fellow security easily fell down, leaving only three of them unharmed and well hidden in the garden, behind huge rocks.
Meanwhile, from inside the mansion, Blake Taylor had walked out of his room, with a gun in his hand. He was immediately alarmed when the first gunshots were fired and he easily equipped himself, ready to strike.
"Blake! Blake! What's going on?" He met Catherine and Annie in the hallways, rushing to his room in fear.
"Stay in your room," instructed Blake. "I'm going to check it out."
His first instinct was to go to Sarah. He feared for what may have happened to her, considering the tension around his home.
Turning to the next hallway, he was shocked not to see the guards standing behind Sarah's door. He called, "Elizabeth? Lizzy?"
Opening the door, he found no one.
Fear easily filled his eyes. His heart raced, panicking. He screamed, "Lizzy! Liz! Where are you?!"
As the sun began to rise in Jansu island, Blake Taylor ignored the shots from below his mansion. He was focused on finding his supposed wife, Elizabeth, frantically searching every room in his home.
Finally, kicking the doors open in the last room on the second floor, he became enraged, calling out the name, "Elizabeth! Where are you - Ahhh!"
A punch went across his face, directly hitting Blake in the nose.
He wound up throwing his handgun to the floor as he fell down on his side.
To his shock, he found General Winfield Davis standing before him, filled with anger in the eyes. Blake's jaws dropped while feeling blood drip from his nose. His mouth trembled as he spoke, "Wi - Winfield!"
"Fuck you, Blake!" Winfield cursed before throwing another punch into Blake's face. He sat on Blake's torso and relentlessly threw his fist against his wife's taker. "How dare you take Sarah!"
While trying to block and resist Winfield's attack, in the corner of Blake's eye, he saw Sarah hiding behind the cabinet. He immediately called for her, "Elizabeth - Ahh! Fuck! Lizzy, this is the general who wants to kill us!"
As Blake managed to punch Winfield in the face, he looked in the direction of Sarah and ordered, "Shoot him! Shoot him, Lizzy!"
"Who the fuck are you calling, Lizzy? She is my wife, Blake! She is not Elizabeth!" Another punch went to Blake's face, further bleeding his skin.
Sarah, on the other hand, realizing how the gun had slid near to where she was, walked toward it and fearfully picked up the weapon.
"Shoot him, Elizabeth! Shoot him!" Commanded Blake.
Only after hearing Blake repeat his order did Sarah gripped on the gun tightly with her hands and she yelled while pointing the gun at Blake, "I am not Elizabeth! I am not Lizzy!"
Tears fell on her face as she resumed, "You - you took my life away!" She began to pant as she told, "How dare you?! How dare you?!"
Hearing Sarah scream weakened Blake. He no longer resisted the punches of Winfield, utterly in tears. It was as if he fell into a trance of denial. He softly muttered, "No... No."
Blake realized that he had lost Elizabeth now that Sarah knew who she was. It was enough to make him give up on his life. He just lay there, allowing Winfield to turn him into a punching bag. He cried as he denied the truth, "No, Lizzy... No."
"Mrs. Davis, put down the gun. He deserves so much more than death," one of Winfield's soldiers came in to their aid, offering to accept the weapon. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
After giving up the weapon, Sarah cried even more. The wetness on her face covered everything up to her jaws. She screamed, "I hate him! I hate him so much!"
Seeing how his wife broke down, Winfield got up from controlling Blake and comforted his wife. His soldier took the job of guarding one weakened Blake Taylor.
Embracing Sarah tightly, Winfield cried with her and expressed, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Sarah." He pecked on her head and promised, "It's over now. We are going home... We are going home to Sam."
With jaws dropping, Sarah howled out all her pain and told, "Winfield, he took my life away! He took me away from Sami!"
While there were still guns being fired from outside, a helicopter could be heard hovering around the property, going round in circles repeatedly. A military boat also sailed nearby, settling by the cliffs, ready to take back Winfield's men.
From the helicopter, the soldiers onboard announced, "This is the military. We have you surrounded. Put your hands up in the air where we can see them! Put down your weapons and surrender! You are completely surrounded!"
Those who remained hidden outside the estate gardens acted to shoot back, but as a result, they gave away their location, and shots were fired from the sky. The rest of Blake's men were easily taken down by the chopper on top.
Along with his order for an official siege, Winfield had called for the nearest military base, requesting back-up so they can easily fly out of the location, fearing that Sarah may need medical attention.
Blake and his men were no match to the skilled servicemen, specifically requested by Winfield to come along with him on that mission.
Despite hearing the announcement from above, Sarah remained to cry in Winfield's arms, sitting down on the floor with him. She let it all out, repeatedly telling Blake of how he abducted her, "You took me away from my family! You took advantage of my memory loss after my coma! You make me sick!"
Sarah wound up pointing a finger at Blake and assumed, "For all I know you were the reason why I got into an accident!"
Blake was still lying flat on the floor, in pain of having lost Elizabeth forever. Tears continued to flow down his face, utterly depleted.
However, hearing the accusations of Sarah, he slowly shifted his gaze at her and told, "No... I saved you... It was Catherine's plan to have you killed. I just intercepted and took you for myself... In fact, you have me to thank for saving you."
