His Devious Rule

When the truck hit the car, the security of the President immediately took measures to take Bernard Collins to a safe location.

Bernard saw the car. His heart dropped to his stomach but when he noticed the rest of the cars moving forward excluding one, He ordered the driver, "Stop the car right now. Save them." His unyielding voice had a panic.

His male secretary who was on the shotgun seat held the handle that was above the windshield. The collision took their attention and they clearly saw a car flipping around. That was scary. His heart was shuddering in fear thinking of another truck hitting them.

The male secretary hurriedly responded to Bernard with fluster in his voice and fear on his face, "I-I am sorry, sir. We can't stop anywhere. Your safety comes first."

The driver became more alert to the surroundings. He drove the car even faster under the security of the rest of the cars. Bernard looked behind again and demanded, "I am ordering stop the car, Right Now."

The driver, who was a member of the security team, flatly objected, "President Collins, I am sorry to deny your request." Their main job was to keep him safe. They had the authority to rule out the orders if it was questioned about the safety of the President of the country. It may be Bernard Collins or anybody else.

Bernard was aware of the duties but he couldn't just run away leaving the others to die. Since it was an unplanned and sudden trip, the cops were on the patrol to save the passengers from that car.

Bernard took no more than a few seconds to decide. He unbuckled his seatbelt and shifted to the edge of the seat. He pulled the handbrake decisively. The car jerked to stop. The car behind them screeched on the road to stop before it could hit the front car.

Bernard manually unlocked the clasp, opened the door, and got out of the car before anybody else could react. He was so swift that the other three in the car were slow to assess the situation.

"If I can't keep my subordinates safe, how could I keep the country safe?" He muttered, angry at himself.

The security team panicked. They had reached far from the accident junction, walking so far would take more time, it meant more danger for the President. The security chief regretted letting the President get out of the president's mansion.

The security team covered Bernard as the chief officer requested him to get in the car. Bernard knew as soon as he steps inside the car, they will take him away from there. Due to his safety, they will sacrifice two innocent lives and two officers.

The security team was at least glad there were fewer vehicles on the road in the early morning winter. The middle-aged lady secretary grabbed the overcoat of the president from the car. She breathed deeply gathering her courage and draped his coat on his shoulder in one shift move, afraid of getting scolded.

Bernard had no time to worry about it. He started jogging towards the junction to reach faster. The rest had to jog with him at the same speed.

When Bernard worried about the four lives and others anxious to keep him safe.

Meanwhile, only one black car stayed behind to save Anya and Kyle. It was unmistakably evident their life didn't matter. An armed guard shot the wheel of the truck to stop it. It didn't seem to stop so he flattened two visible wheels on his side.

The four officers from that car were going towards the truck, slowly and carefully.

Suddenly two motorbikes sped by them throwing smoke bombs on the road. The dense white fog very quickly filled the area making it hard for everyone to see. The four officers waved their hands to disperse the air despite knowing it was of no use.

At that time, the truck driver jumped down from the truck and ran away using that chance.

The car was flipped, the wheels were up and the roof of the car was on the ground. Anya couldn't see anything outside. She didn't know if it was morning winter fog or something else. She wanted to remove her belt as she was hanging reverse making it even more difficult to breathe. But it would be dangerous if the truck again crashes the car.

Kyle was groaning in pain, she heard the driver speaking, "Miss. Owen, are you alright?" The tremble in his voice had reduced and sounded hoarse.

"I- I can't breathe." She tried to stabilize her breathing.

The driver tried to shake the lady officer awake but she wasn't reacting. He answered Anya as the possible reason for difficulty breathing, "Miss. Owen, don't fear. Hang in there. We will be rescued… Mr. Reynolds, you too."

Kyle groaned his 'yes' in response. Kyle's eyes met hers, The clear air in the car was slowly getting thick. He looked like he was hesitating to say something to her but then, he suddenly avoided her eyes.

Was it a worry? Or guilty? Anya wandered.

Anya was still feeling her heart thumping so badly. She was scared. It was a near-death experience, how couldn't she be frightened?

When the car was giving her a roller coaster ride, she silently prayed for her parents and good life for Zane. She expected the truck to kill them. Even with her dead body, the microchip would have reached the hands of President Collins while postpartum of her body. Yeah, she had thought all of it, without shedding a tear and screaming in fear.

The door at Kyle's side was opened. Somebody pulled him out, saying something to him. It wasn't audible to her. Then Anya's side door opened. "Are you alright, Miss?" The man asked as he carefully held her, "Could you open the seat belt? Or Is it stuck?"

The voice sounded firm and trained like other security men she had met. So Anya responded as she tried to remove the seatbelt. "I am alright." She removed the seatbelt.

Without letting her fall down abruptly, he carefully helped her out.

Anya tried to look around but all she saw was white smoke. She couldn't even see the man in front of her. "I can't… Ahhhh...." Anya cried in pain when something hit her on the neck. She felt her body numb and swayed. Somebody held her before everything went to darkness.

The driver sensed the oddness. "Hey… Let her go…" He tried to open the door but somebody slammed it harder from outside and the door was jammed.

He tried his hardest to get out of the car and save her but she was kidnapped after the death ride.
