“If anything happens to Elana, I will smash that woman to pieces!” Akram stood rigidly in the elevator, his eyes glued to the digital figures above the elevator stating where they were on the floor. Both hands prepare the gun in his hand, opening the safety so that it is ready to be fired at any time.

Xavier did not reply, the man was also as tense as Akram, and he had secretly prepared the same gun as well. Xavier's heart was beating even faster than usual. He was overcome by a fear that tormented him.

If anything happens to Elana. It was all because she was off guard, underestimating Maya's strength of determination just because the woman had been sick, and hence putting Elana in a dangerous condition.

For decades he awaits a woman who can be loyal to Akram and can also be loved by Akram. Now, once Elana was there and calmed her heart, there was no way she would be able to bear if it was up to Elana to woe.

Akram glanced at the deathly pale Xavier and the man thinned his lips when he realized that most likely, he was as pale as Xavier. However, there was new knowledge in his mind. Xavier's reaction this time, was not a fake mask made-up as usual. The man shows his emotions without covering him up and Akram knows that Xavier's emotions clearly show real anxiety, something Xavier has never shown before.Xavier worries Elana in earnest.

So too with himself. Akram glanced at the digital pointer button in the elevator that kept moving up, while his legs shifted restlessly unwilling to remain still. If only possible, Akram would have chosen to climb the stairs so that his legs could be moved as quickly as possible to the floor where Elana was treated. But, this time, for the umpteenth time, Akram must admit that there are some things where the physical strength of humans, can be defeated by machines. Because logically, no matter how fast Akram is able to run, he will definitely be defeated by the speed of the elevator that slides up without interruption.

Elana….

Akram's heart was pounding, beating his chest until it almost hurt.

What happened to Elana now? Why does the second feel so fast and slow that it collides and disrupts space and time? What if...what if they turn out to be late and Maya has sown her evil hand to harm Elana?

The shadow of Elana and her injured baby hit Akram with great fear. He would not be able if until Elana was injured, he would feel pain that many times if Elana was wretched.

Akram felt his airway was so crowded with panic that he almost gasped when his ability to breathe oxygen to support his lungs seemed to just disappear. Akram's hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably as he tried to calm down.

Then, suddenly Xavier's ice-cold hand patted his shoulder, making Akram jump from his panic and raise his head, to then directly face the deathly pale Xavier, but she shone a strong light in her eyes.

“You must be calm,” said Xavier in earnest. “Thus, then we can save Elana,” Xavier squinted, stared intently at Akram before then saying his sentence slowly so that Akram could understand what he said. “Currently Maya is suffering from smallpox due to the virus I gave her. The virus will hurt him a lot, especially if the attack of pain feels like burning heat coming on him. That will shift her focus so we can figure out a way to slip in her mediocrity and save Elana.”

“Virus smallpox fire?” Akram almost shouted with a raucous voice. “Will it harm Elana and her baby?”

“Do not worry. Elana had a natural immunity to the virus, because the poison I had injected her was made from the development of the virus, to create the opposite reaction. If the smallpox virus caused a hot itch, then the poison I injected into Elana, had the opposite effect, cooling to icy cold and resulting in hypothermia. However, the mother of the development of the poison came from the same virus. Therefore, the immune system of Elana certainly has a special defense against this virus. She will not be infected, nor will the baby in her womb,” Xavier watch over Akram again in earnest. “And I, as the official developer of the virus and the poison, have of course gotten the vaccine so that I am immune to it. The problem is you, you're not immune to the virus. So, to minimize the possibility of you contracting, we will share the role, I will attack from close range, you with your extraordinary shooting ability, aim Maya to paralyze him.”

Before Akram could give a response, the sound of the clanking of the elevator indicating that they had reached the destination floor was heard loudly. They did not have time to think of anything else, and immediately jumped out of the elevator and immediately faced off against the bodyguards who were staring confusedly at Akram and Xavier who were both aiming at the weapon in their hands.

“Mr Akram... there was ap...” one of the bodyguard leaders ventured to come forward and ask, but his voice came to a halt when he immediately froze with a sharp and murderous gaze of Akram.

“Did you let a woman named Maya cross the security perimeter here?” his hardships were impatient, while his footsteps briskly walked through the hallway, followed by Xavier and the bodyguards behind him.

“Betul, sir. Just now, not a few minutes ago, Miss Maya came to see Miss Elana. He said he came to bring a special vitamin for Miss Elana so..”.

“Stupid!” Akram could not resist hitting the head of the stupid bodyguard with the handle of his gun, exerting all his frustration and anger there with a hard blow to make the bodyguard hit back with staggered steps to maintain his balance, while his nose poured fresh blood.

Then, Akram's steps stopped in front of the door of Elana's treatment room. His legs slowed down, while his heart was pounding uncontrollably.

The atmosphere sounded lonely. Does that mean Elana….

The stabbing pain made Akram's heart as if it was torn by an invisible big hand, making his breathing feel tight and his chest area was painful. But Akram then strengthened his heart. He aimed with his gun, he then stepped inside the room followed by the others.

“Don't you dare move or he dies!” maya's raucous voice that was holding back the pain sounded threatening, making Akram's steps stop instantly.

He had half-entered Elana's large nursery, as well as the others, and what appeared before her eyes was terrible.

The middle Maya grapples her arms around Elana's neck from behind, while the other one threatens a sharp knife just below Elana's chin. And the position of the two women was very precarious, right at the end of a large balcony on the outside of Elana's room, making the night wind blow hard from the height of the floor and cause both Elana and Maya's hair to flutter because of the wind.“If you dare to approach, I will push this lowly woman down, so that she and the baby will die!”

Maya's threat sounds far-fetched. Her legs and Elana were already on one side of the low-fenced balcony, with Elana on the edge.

Elana's treatment room is located just one floor below the highest floor of this hospital, which means, there will be no human survivors if parachuted from this floor. His body would definitely hit the ground and shatter into pieces instantly.

And…. It only took one push to throw Elana's body down and kill her.***

Maya's eyes widened in surprise when she discovered that Akram and his bodyguards suddenly rushed into the room.

He did not expect that he would be found out so soon. His breath was breathless as the pain was agonizing, mixed with the panic that made his head seem broken, chaotic and unable to think clearly.

Earlier, when about to stab Elana directly when the woman was sleeping on her comfortable bed, evil thoughts enter Maya's mind suddenly and make her undo her intention to kill and stab Elana directly.

If he did that, then Elana's blood would spurt everywhere, even with his knife and his hands. All of it would drench itself horribly, not to mention the appearance of a dead corpse figure with a body torn in front of his eyes, it would definitely haunt his nightmares for the future.

Though Maya's killing intent was enormous, as a woman, she was terrified of incision wounds and blood. Of course, that may have been due to her high-class lifestyle, it was clear that Maya had never used a knife to injure other living things before.

His brain then thought hard, trying to avoid the bloody scene before him, while his eyes were fixed on the glass window with a large curtain slightly open on the side of the wall of the treatment room, a little view of the small balcony there. Instantly, Maya gets a brilliant idea to throw Elana's body down there, so that, even if Elana dies, her corpse won't be in sight, but it's far down there.

Therefore, he woke up Elana who then opened her eyes with a great shock that could not do anything. Then under the threat of a knife, he took Elana to the edge of the balcony located on one side of the wall of this room.

This balcony is actually not for use or to relax, its function is only as an aesthetic to display the beautiful scenery of the room. Because, the wind is so strong on the high floor that blew this balcony area, obviously very unrepresentative even just to stand relaxed near the fence. And because this balcony is not to be stepped on by humans, the guardrail is made low, very easy to jump.

Maya plans to push Elana to death by falling from the high floor of the hospital building, and she thinks about walking away safely, at least able to buy time until he could escape before the furor down there due to the body of Elana that fell at the base made the bodyguards realize that the one who jumped from the tall building was miss them.

Unfortunately, it turns out that this Maya action, although it has been done carefully, was less quickly done. Before he could act and push Elana down to complete his revenge, Akram and his men had already charged in and they all pointed a gun at his head.

It's getting stifled. Akram was already blocked at the exit with a dark gaze filled with overwhelming anger.

It was clear there would be no chance for Maya to escape again….

Maya's hand moved deliberately, sticking her sharp knife into Elana's neck and scraping the surface of Elana's fragile neck skin. She grinned happily, feeling up in the wind while listening to Elana's moans of agony and found that Akram's eyes also shone in fear.

Huh! And finally! Finally he could make Akram feel scared!

“You're afraid I killed your bitch lover, this is Akram?” Maya who seemed to lose her logic laughed out loud like a madman. “How now does it feel when your hands are shackled and you can't do anything about it? I will be so happy when I can bestow that immeasurable pain upon you!” maya snapped with angry bulging eyes and uncontrollably hoarse screaming sounds. “I'll push this bitch's body down let her die instantly!” threatening to lose his sanity.

“I will aim your head to smash it into pieces before you can do it,” Akram growled, trying to stay calm and aiming at Maya accurately. Her eyes dodged to stare towards Elana, because when her gaze met with the frightened look of Elana's eyes under the threat of Maya's knife, it was, when his gaze saw Elana's neck that was bleeding from the scratch of the sharp blade directed at him, a great tremble instantly struck Akram's body, and the panic attack struck him again.

Akram is sure that he will be able to shoot Maya in the head with his shot. However, he could not guarantee that at that time, Maya had not pushed Elana's body down from the balcony and took her life.
