Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Lauren look at him, he takes Lauren hand pressing it, Lauren had never sing for anyone just for Larry and Lisa, when they fall sick, it seems his song is powerful, they always get well.

Lauren walked back to the entrance of the tunnel, he sit after closing his eyes like fighting his soul to prevent him for singing then his lips part, there comes a voice which everyone was surprised to hear except Lisa and Larry

He is singing Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding, taking the first line, Leah mouths drop open, how come she had been dating this man but never knew he could sing, is he some kind of godlike.

Mandy is lost but her heart is still free, she held her legs in pain, so tired to move, so exhausted to even gather her strength in her body, as she lie there, then came the faintest sound anyone could hear, but miraculously she heard the sound.

Not been able to make out the sound but that voice is what she seems to want to hear, at first she thought it's her imagination, is she assured hearing a sound, after much fighting with her mind, she realized its real.

She stand up like the sound is telling her what to do, she try to make out where the direction of the sound is coming from, after some second she get it right, she start climbing towards the sound, it seems the sound it's coming from ahead of her, she had hope at last, she start climbing, Mandy hand get pierced she groan

Mandy cry out more, she is so frustrated but determine to get out of there, after much climbing she notices she had entered another stage that is not like the first stage, it smoother, though cold but better than the former.

As she go further, she could assuredly hear the voice clear, it's a song not just some random sound but some Melodious voice, like the song was for her, hold on to get her strength because she is way too tight.

Then the voice came more stronger, for some reason Lauren didn't change the song, it's much clearer, as the voice came up again.

Fading in, fading out

On the edge of paradise

Every inch of your skin is a Holy Grail I've got to find

Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire

This gave her more hope and strength to go on, for the first time in days, she had tears of Joy.

Lauren tears almost drop, when he saw nothing seems to be walking he grabbed Jack's throat even though he didn't stop the song, his anger is boiling, he could kill Jack with his barehand.

You promised not to kill me, you can't possibly kill me for someone that is...

She is my wife. That was the only word Lauren said and continue with his song, Edward stared at him in shock, Noor who is also there, he just realized that this man is in love with his Mandy, he had join the group, when he heard the news of Mandy in pain, the whole city has the news now, the press are there but no one knows that the boy singing is assuredly the masked man that no one ever seen his face.

Leah tears drop, she had lost her man in less than two weeks to this woman, for a second she had pray that Mandy doesn't survive.

You don't want to be a murder for a common girl do you? Leah asked. he laughed dryly and then his eyes turn red, he look coldly at Jack.

If I can't find her before the sun fall, alive then I will destroy you, I will end the entire generation of you, I meant every word of mine

With this, jack blood is pouring into his clenched hand that is on his throat, Larry pulled him.

Why do you stop singing? He pulled from Larry, he rush back to the tunnel as he sing, everyone could not help but marvel, so a mere woman could make Lauren be this mad, show is weakness in front of the world, one thing Lauren wouldn't want anyone to see, he even gave up his mask for this woman, as he sing, his mind wonder away, will Mandy survive till she get to the entrance, does she still have strength? How much longer will she be able to hold on?

He hope she reach the end before she passed out, his throat is already dry, tired of singing but he still want to, he need to see this to the end, if not, he might lost his mind.

now Mandy could see light, her smile wild, she hear the voice, his voice that voice she needed to hear, that voice that gave her hope, when all hope is lost.

Lauren move to the tunnel entrance to open the door but the door pushed up almost hitting his face, he shift backward, expecting it to open again but after three seconds, it didn't open, he hurry there, he pulled the door only to see Mandy.

Help me! That was her last words, she passed out, Lauren carried her from the tunnel placing her on the floor, so Many bruises on her body, she couldn't hold on to it, anymore.

Let's take her to the hospital. Edward finally said, after long silent from everyone, Jack look on his face is that of surprised, how did this girl survive? No one had ever survive from there

Even Sharon didn't know that Mandy will power to fight is as strong as this, she is weak and fragile but now this, it's really unbelievable.

I will care for her. Lauren said, Jack held Lauren hand since they had held him back.

Only when she wakes up. That was Lauren's words to him, he carry her to his Mansion, he lie her on the bed, in his very own, that room that Mandy never get to enter, that room that she is forbidden to enter, there she is, right on his bed

Edward want to go inside but stone stop him.

I want my daughter, I want to go with my daughter.

Sorry sir, no one could come in. Edward sighed, Daniel touch his shoulder. Come on, let's leave, he can care for her.

Leah is boiling, she couldn't hold herself anymore, she wasn't planning for all this to happen, she doesn't want this to happen
