The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 6: Akram's Plan for Elana

"You have bewitched me, body and soul. You're mine and I never wish to be parted from you from this day on"

The black car sped through the streets in the quiet early hours of the morning. Elios sat next to the driver who was driving the car. Throughout the gripping journey, Akram's assistant was busy calling the hospital, asking for emergency private lines specifically reserved for officials and hospital owners to be prepared immediately. Elios is also heard asking for the presence of the hospital's best doctors to be on standby there before they arrive.

Akram himself just kept silent while holding Elana's body that was getting colder in his hands. Elana's blood seemed to pour profusely from the incision wound on her wrist, making the woman's skin turn pale like a corpse.

Akram lowered his head and looked at Elana's face, his forehead wrinkled deeply as the rancid scent of fresh blood filled his sense of smell. Her bare chest and the other parts inside this luxurious car had been filled with blood that seemed so stubborn and unwilling to stop pouring from that cut on Elana's wrist. It seemed, the cloth splint made by Akram on the woman's wrist didn't mean much to prevent her bleeding.

They arrived at the hospital in just a few minutes. Early in the day make the streets quiet, so they can travel in a shorter time. This magnificent hospital is located within a luxury residential complex in the downtown section, the most elite area of the entire area not far from the nightclub. Akram owns several houses that he does not live in the luxury housing complex, and coincidentally, too, The hospital has also been acquired by its own company as an embodiment of expansion and diversification in the health sector several years ago.

As they entered the gates of the luxury hospital, security personnel who had been confirmed were already standing in front of them, their cars being directed to a closed basement area located next to the hospital, directly leads to a large elevator for patients who have been opened wide along with several emergency nurses who have been waiting.

As soon as the car door was opened, the alert hospital personnel took Elana's body carefully, as per the body removal procedure used to move the victim's external bleeding wounds. Elana was put to sleep on a hospital push bed that had been prepared. The hospital staff went around the patient, then did what they had to do while pushing Elana's body into the elevator and taking her up to the emergency VIP area. One of the doctors told Elios who followed them to come immediately to the top to record patient information before further treatment.

Akram stepped out of the car. His eyes pointed to the number of lifts that lit up at the top of his door, indicating that the elevator was already moving up. His attention was distracted by the movements of Elios nearby. His assistant held out a white handkerchief politely to him.

"Mr Akram, I've arranged for a change of clothes for you" Elios clearly refers to the appearance of Akram who is bare-chested and full of blood. "The hospital has provided a special pavilion on the top floor of this hospital. You can clean yourself up and change clothes there first. About that woman...." Elios seemed hesitant before continuing. The woman's bleeding seems so severe, Elios doesn't know if the woman will survive or not, and he can't even imagine how Akram would react if she didn't survive. But, amid the doubt, Elios continued his words as well. "Regarding the woman, let me take care of her,"

Akram nods his head, receives a handkerchief from Elios and uses it to remove the bloodstains on his cheeks.

"Show me the way. I'll clean myself up first. After that I'll follow you to the woman's handling place." she said coldly without a tone.

Elios nodded politely, led the way, led the superior into the elevator that had arrived and was available to them, and led Akram to the top floor of the elevator, to a presidential suite located at the very top of the hospital.

This luxury hospital does provide luxury rooms that are rented similar to five-star hotel rates. These rooms are reserved for waiting families of patients who do not wish to spend their nights with patients in hospital rooms, or also the family of the patient in the iccu room that does not allow the patient to stay in the area of the iccu room.

This room provided for Akram is the best room, and has never been opened before to the public. It is the only room on the highest floor of the hospital, located far apart from other public rooms rented out to families of patients.

Elios pressed the card on the door scanner and opened the room door for his superior. Then let Akram enter the room.

"Master, I'll come down to take care of everything related to that woman. I'll handle it well. Mr. Akram please rest here for the night," Elios stressed the word deal deliberately. That is, if this woman dies tonight, then Elios will use the influence of big name Akram Night to release all relations with the corpse of the woman. The name Akram Night will always be clean, and the corpse will probably end with the story of the corpse of the poor woman who committed suicide by heartbreak, and there will be nothing linking his death to Akram Night.

"I will follow to the place where the woman's handling is. Where's the place?" unexpectedly, Akram uttered the sentence, leaving Elios agape in shock.

"Where is the place?" Akram repeated his question. His threatening tone and the frown between his eyebrows made Elios realize that he had to answer quickly.

"The special VIP patient emergency treatment center is two floors below. You just go down two floors using the elevator and will go straight there."

Akram nodded his head. "good. You may leave," he ordered, putting on an expressionless cold face again.

Elios half-bent his body, then asked permission to leave the room. He was already halfway back towards the elevator when Akram called back to him.

"Elios," Akram's call brought Elios' footsteps to a standstill. The assistant turned his head and immediately responded.

"Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?" tanyanya politely.

For a moment, in a moment full of impossibility, Akram looked doubtful. The man's lips thinned while his face turned serious and dark.

"That woman. Tell the doctor to use all means. He must not die" Akram emphasized his last words like the undisputed command of a tyrant, leaving Elios unable to do anything but agree.

The door to Akram's room closed tightly later, while Elios turned back to the elevator. His forehead frowned as question after question caught up in his mind.

Akram Night had never acted like this before. In the past if the women who had served him in bed were injured, Akram would not have turned his head twice and would not hesitate at all to leave the woman. There is no mercy in Akram's soul, not even for his past lovers.

But why is it different now? What is so special about Elana that as if the life of an orphaned and worthless commoner, could be so important to Akram Night who has everything in this world in his hands?

Akram immediately took off his sticky pants by the fresh blood that soaked. His sturdy naked body immediately stepped into the bathroom, lit a warm shower and instantly flushed his body from head to toe. The blood that soaked his body instantly poured down, mixed with water and flowed to the floor, shrinking and entering into the waterway before then disappearing.

Akram cleansed himself quickly, then dried his hair and body before putting on the clothes Elios had provided for him.

His feelings were filled with various foreign emotions that he had never felt before. So stifling his chest that Akram could not help but head to the bar area and pour a glass of brandy to ease his emotional turmoil.

The woman chose suicide, choosing to cut her own pulse and die a sick death, rather than living an extravagant life by becoming Akram's lover.

Akram had never gotten such a fatal rejection before, and it hit his soul until it sprawled at the bottom. He had become accustomed to acceptance, accustomed to the adoration of all those who wanted to get his attention. In fact, so many women begged to be able to accompany him last night, also begging to get his touch even if only a while ago.

Akram has never lacked women before he only considers women as entertainment to satisfy his physical needs as a normal adult man. They were just passing interludes in passing, not deserving of more attention than him.

But that one woman, whom Akram wanted the most, who could best give her extraordinary physical pleasure after they had made love, dared to refuse her attention? How dare Elana turn down the attention from her that so many other women out there want?

So did not want Elana to be his, so that the woman would rather die?

Rejection from a woman who became Akram's first experience made the man furious was incredible. He slammed the empty brandy glass into the dark marble bar. His expression hardened while his molar clenched, overpowered by the wrath that had been a major part of the soul of an Akram Night.

Elana is his. Body and soul. And Akram will use Elana as he pleases until he gets bored and decides to throw the woman away.

Only Akram has the right to decide when Elana can die.

When Akram arrived at the emergency room for special VIP patients, the entire emergency department treatment process carried out against Elana was completed. The woman was now lying quietly on a white bed, covered in the same color with a deathly pale face that was almost similar to her bed and blanket. An infusion hose was attached to the back of her hand, and it still seemed to take some time before Elana regained consciousness.

Elios seemed to be talking to the doctor and immediately saluted when he saw Akram approaching. The best doctor of this hospital who was assigned to deal with Elana also did the same, half bowing respectfully towards Akram.

"How's the condition?" Akram ignored the respect of the two people in front of him, his eyes still fixed on Elana who was still unconscious.

Hearing the question from the most important person in this hospital, the doctor hurriedly replied.

"The critical period of the patient has passed and the condition has now stabilized. Fortunately, the patient was quickly brought here. The bleeding that occurred was arterial bleeding, thus causing the blood that was pumped out of his incision wound to exceed the average speed, and the patient lost a lot of blood. Luckily the severed arteries weren't the main arteries so when the patient arrived at this hospital, we were still able to prevent shock from bleeding and rescue with a blood transfusion,"

The doctor gave a technical explanation in a calm voice. Despite that, his head lowered, not daring to stare towards Akram Night who was standing firmly in front of him. Akram made no sound but emitted a dark intimidating aura that stifled his chest.

The patient the doctor treated had clearly made a failed suicide attempt. Even so, there would not be a single human who would dare to ask why Akram Night appeared in this hospital in the early hours while carrying the injured woman. No one dared to raise the question of who the woman was and what caused her to commit suicide and why the seemingly ordinary woman could be involved with such a rich, dark aura tycoon Akram Nights. They all knew that facing an Akram Night, being silent and keeping low was the best way to save lives.

"How long until he regains consciousness, recovers and is allowed to leave this hospital?" Akram finally asked breaking the silence, while his eyes were still staring towards the bed Elana laid.

"We inject into the patient's infusion of tranquilizers and painkillers that give the effect of drowsiness, the patient will fall asleep soundly for the next few hours before then unconscious. As for the recovery time of the patient, we cannot confirm. However, we will still monitor the patient's condition until he is completely stable. It may take a minimum of two weeks until the patient can leave the hospital. But, even if the patient is declared able to leave the hospital, there is still further treatment to be done."

Akram nodded in a sign of understanding. His hand moved to signal that the doctor was no longer needed and Akram wanted the doctor to leave this place. The gesture was immediately well understood by the poor doctor, who was immediately flushed away from the location after politely saying a farewell plea.

Left alone with Elios, Akram turned his attention to the face of his Assistant who stood silently waiting for orders. Elios has been Akram's assistant and right-hand man for ten years. The man is efficient, fast, effective and almost never fails in carrying out the tasks assigned to him. Elios had helped Akram do the work, both clean and dark, with stains smearing their hands. And one of the most important, Elios was a man who was very loyal to him. Akram knew that Elios was willing to sacrifice his life for him.

"Give the best treatment for the woman. The best doctor, the best medicine and the best facilities," Akram put his hands in his pants pocket. "The woman must heal quickly,"

Elios glanced carefully at Elana who was still unconscious, then ventured to voice the questions in his brain.

"What would you plan on that woman if she recovered later?" elios asked in a tone of voice no less carefully.

Akram's women are usually asked to leave when Akram is bored, but they certainly don't leave empty-handed. Akram threw them away by giving them a matching replacement, sometimes a luxury car, a luxury house or jewelry that made the eyes of the women sparkle when they saw it.

But with Elana it might be different. Elios had no idea what had happened inside his master's room before, until Elana ended up attempting suicide. But Elios knew that what his master had planned beforehand against, Elana did not go well that night.

It would actually be better if Elana died, so her mouth would be sealed forever. However, Akram insisted that the woman was alive and safe.

What, then, should Elios do to lock her mouth so as not to blackmail Akram? Can a lot of money satisfy that woman? Because even by having the attention of an Akram Night in bed alone, the woman instead of being grateful even gave a rejection by trying to kill herself.

Akram did not immediately answer the question, seemingly thinking for a moment while his eyes were still watching Elana closely.

"Villa is mine on Green Island, order the servants and servants to prepare so that they can live in the next two weeks" Akram ordered later.

Elios looked at Akram with questions. He could not guess at all what was on Akram's mind actually.

"You're planning on staying in a Green Island villa?" tanyanya tried to convince her hearing.

Villa on Green Island is one of the villas with luxury facilities owned by Akram. What makes the villa special is that it is located on a tiny island that also belongs to akram. The privacy of the villa is very well preserved because to reach the location, must use a helicopter that requires special permission to land. Even with the surrounding villa surrounded by forest and the location of Green Island in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by high walls and heavily armed guard there. The uninhabited Green Island is located not far from the mainland and other islands inhabited by people in general, but the area of the green island is very forbidden, his condition was isolated and not just anyone could break through the security perimeter around him.

Akram usually uses villas on the island if you want to be alone and rest from the hustle and bustle of the city. The isolated location is hard to reach, tight security and privacy are maintained even make the island like a very luxurious prison.

Elios widened his eyes as a consciousness penetrated his mind. Akram half a guess.

Don't you think the master wants to take Elana there?

"Yes. I'll take Elana there." Akram answers the question without a voice asked by Elios. "Do the work cleanly, Elios. Come to the house of Elana, take all her belongings and everything related to her, take care of the affairs of the abode of Elana. Also take care of Elana's workplace and settle all her affairs with everyone who knows her, both the people at her workplace, the people at the club she interacts with, also the orphanage where Elana came from. Kill the ones who must be killed, get rid of all the witnesses. Clean it up until the trail of the woman is gone."

Elios widens eyes. "You want to take Elana to a villa on a green island and cut off her entire relationship with the world as well as her past?" the knot doesn't believe.

Akram grinned. "That woman has dared to resist me and rejected me that has never been rejected before. I will make him lose everything until he has nothing in the world but me. And when she realized it all, realizing how low her position was. I was sure she would creep under my feet to beg for my mercy and attention."
