My Emotionless Goddess

tr The second team was led by Kiel, they were to lay low and barge when the crossfire started. Ronald led his elite team to attack first. He didn’t forget to bring along his bomb experts. In missions like this, it was better to be prepared for any possibility.

Ronald and his team advanced stealthily. They were camouflaged and were hard to detect. Under the guidance of Miranda, they managed to execute, kill and proceed effectively. They managed to sneak to the warehouse and easily spotted Ava, tied to a post and gagged.

” Ava!!!” Ronald shouted running to her rescue but Ava shook her head vehemently trying to warn Ronald not to get near but the man was only concerned about her, ignoring her gestures.

The first thing he did was to remove the rag stuffed in her mouth.

” Leave! Leave immediately!” Ava said, trying to push Ronald away.

“Don’t worry hun, I’ll get you out of here.” Ronald said a dagger to cut the nylon rope tied around her wrists and ankles.

” Wow! What an emotional reunion. Am touched.” A devilish voice which sounded angelic resonated in the room and the once dimly lit room was filled with light that it was blinding.

” You bastard, I will kill you.” Ronald roared, anger momentarily clouding his mind. All he wanted now was to rip that bastard who dared lay his filthy hands on his woman.

” Oh dear, I am afraid you’ll be the first to die here. Until we meet in hell, adios.” The man said and the ground on which Ronald stood immediately collapsed, taking Ronald with the debris.

” Ronald!!!!” Ava shouted before finally allowing darkness to consume her.

” Boss!!!” His subordinates cried but before they could register what was happening, bullets started raining on them and they rushed to take cover while firing.

Thirty minutes later, the warehouse exploded. Kiel and Justin watched as the warehouse burnt down to ashes. Tears streamed down their eyes freely. Memories of how the three of them grew up together, learnt shooting together, went hunting together, fought alongside each other. Now, their Friend was no More. He was gone. Perished.

They had managed to escape unscathed together with the unconscious Ava after an intense battle with the enemy and managed to come out victorious but their Boss and friend were unlucky.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

A subordinate had tried going down the hollow tunnel that swallowed Ronald but the heavy scent of sulphuric acid from down the tunnel was so strong that he couldn’t continue. They could only guess the fate of their Boss if what they assumed to be concentrated acid was what filled the tunnel well. But why would a company have an underground tunnel that is more less filled with acid? After contemplation, they figured out that was the devil’s plan all along. Kill them all in that damned place considering how many bombs they had to diffuse.

Ava was immediately sent to the hospital. She stayed unconscious for three days and three nights. When she finally woke up, the scene of Ronald plunging deep to the well the devil had said contained sulphuric acid replayed in her mind. The devil had said that it was impossible for anybody to come out alive but she believed in her man. He was no ordinary man, he would definitely survive.

Ronald crawled for hours on what seemed to be an endless tunnel. It was dusty and full of insects but he was hell-bent on coming out alive. He could feel the exhaustion hitting every muscle of his body but still continued. He couldn’t give up. Not when his Ava was waiting for him. Thinking about her gave him the energy to keep moving.

After what seemed like eternity, he finally exited the tunnel but was met by pitch darkness. He was in the middle of God knows where. His combat clothes were tattered. His body was dirty with countless bruises and cuts. He looked like a mess. Despite losing a lot of blood, he was still standing. Since it was nighttime, he decided to take a rest. His stomach was grumbling due to hunger but that was the least of his concerns. All he wanted was to get some rest and replenish his energy so that he could continue with his journey back.

Then his mind travelled to the Man who had kidnapped Ava. He remembered that face clearly as if it happened yesterday. But something didn’t seem right with his new appearance. He looked familiar yet oddly unfamiliar. Ronald remembered very well that he had put a bullet in that man’s head, silencing him forever when he tried assaulting Ava twelve years back. Twelve years later, a face identical to that kidnapped Ava, using her as bait to capture Ronald. But Ronald was not the only person the devil spawn wanted, he also wanted to get rid of Ava, but why?

After joining the dots, Ronald correctly guessed the motive behind the kidnapping. That guy must have wanted revenge for what happened in the past but getting rid of both Ronald and Ava therefore killing two birds with one stone. He would then become the most powerful mafia Lord after Ronald, afterall, that Man twelve years ago also wanted to get rid of Ronald and take over the underworld. How unlucky! Despite his meticulous planning for years, he still failed in the end.

Using tree branches and twigs, Ronald erected a house and laid down to rest. He had been trained to survive anything in the past, he would be fine. Keeping his subconscious alert, Ronald went to sleep.

The following morning he woke up feeling refreshed. Looking around, he spotted a few herbs which he used to nurse his injuries. He knew if he left them unattended, they were likely to be infected and that was the last thing he wanted, to be slowed down in his journey. He wandered around and managed to gather wild fruits to eat. After he was done eating, he pocketed a few if he fruits for a later time if at all he didn’t manage to come across other sorts of food.

The Forest was thick and eerily quiet as a death den. But what frustrated him was walking in circles. He would always find himself at the same destination after walking around. Night came without making any progress. He rested again, hoping tomorrow, he could figure out a way to get the hell out of the forest.

After trying for two days without avail, Ronald finally realised a way to get him out of the forest successfully. Since he couldn’t use the sun rays to know the direction because of the density of the trees preventing any sub rays from reaching underneath, he started marking his way out. Using his dagger, he left behind carved marks on the tree trunks. Whenever he came across a marking, he would change direction. After a day plus, he finally managed to exit the forest. It was the fourth day after he went missing, he was sure his Ava was worried to death about him.

His clothes were tattered and dirty and even his body was smelling but that did not bother him, as long as he could get home and see his woman, all the struggle was worth it.
