"Hello, Elaine, give me Yae's address, hurry up!" I ordered.
I didn't need to be a genius to sense that something bad had happened to her, and I had to act swiftly.
That crazy ex of hers must have gone crazy and done something unimaginable. What a crazy bastard, doing something so despicable with someone else's girl.
There were only two things I hated in this world: people messing with me and people messing with my property. I would make sure to teach him a lesson he would take to his grave. Never touch another man's girl.
After getting her address, I instructed my driver to head straight there. Fortunately, it wasn't too far, and with low traffic, it took us only 10 minutes to reach an average-looking apartment.
The building was not in great condition. Yae had just started working in my company, so she had not yet received her salary, aside from the allowance I gave her.
'Room 205,' I muttered to myself as I hurriedly ran towards it. When I reached the door, it was locked, but my instinct was already hinting at something bad happening. I could smell blood.
BAM!
I kicked the door, and what greeted me was the worst-case scenario. On the floor lay Yae, bloodied, with a brutal stab wound on her neck, crimson staining the surroundings.
She was covered in blood, with a stab wound on her neck. She gasped for breath, struggling as her body started squirming in pain.
Standing next to her was a man, her ex, the source of this horror.
His face was twisted with madness, clearly having snapped and lost his mind.
"How can you betray me!"
"How can you betray me!"
"How can you betray me!"
He kept repeating those words like a broken radio. Clutched in his right hand was a kitchen knife, blood still dripping from its blade.
How could a man who spent years of his life with a woman he loved resort to such brutality? It made sense why Yae chose me over him; he must have been unstable and psychotic from the beginning.
"Stop blaming me; you did this to her because you're fucking piece of shit." I spat at him and then sent him to his own dream world, where he would suffer hell over and over again until his heart gave up from the sheer horror.
This was his punishment for touching what was mine.
Then without wasting any time, I ran towards Yae and grabbed her. The blood on her body stained my expensive coat, but it was a trivial matter.
She attempted to speak, but the blood had already reached her mouth. If she tried to open it now, she would only end up vomiting.
How pitiful; she looked so happy and liberated just a few hours ago, and now she was dying because of his selfish and stupid ex.
"Don't worry. I will save you. You chose to be with me, so I promised to protect you," I reassured her as I gently picked up her body in a princess carry.
"OMG what happened?"
"What happened to her?"
"Look she's bleeding!"
The commotion had caused the neighbors to check it out. I ordered them all to call the police and report that he had attempted to murder Yae, and I had to bring her to the hospital right away.
***
Seoul APEX hospital.
"Do what you need to do to save her," I used my suggestion on the doctors to ensure they would do their best. She had lost a lot of blood, and despite my efforts to stop the bleeding, the internal damage was extensive.
My control over telekinesis was not yet advanced enough to manipulate internal organs and blood. Observing that I lacked any skills to heal others, I realized the urgency of overcoming this weakness. I needed the power to at least apply first aid to my own people.
"I will do my best," the doctor reassured me.
"Yes, you will," I uttered with a cold voice. "I will kill everyone here if she dies, so make sure you give her the best care," I warned before taking my leave.
As I stepped out of the hospital, I realized that I really needed that skyscraper. If all my women were under one roof and protected by me, then this incident wouldn't have happened.
