Chapter 30: Chapter 30

-29-Attack on Riley.

"Sometimes it's not about what you are going through. It's about who steps into your life to help you at the exact timing. Though sometimes attraction creates connections but the best connection transcends actions. It doesn't matter how many people left you to cry, what matters are the ones who gifted you their presence in your darkest night."[Christian]

His mind was a mess. Putting all the pressure on his hand he held her hand tightly as the goons started surrounding them.

The whole matter of his kidnapping had turned out more messed up than he could ever imagine. Those men were after him, dead set to kill him in the worst way possible.

If there was anything that those men were capable of doing. It was probably torturing people and he was the live example of enduring it. They were ruthless and used dirty tricks. And right now they were ordered to kill him.

Seeing the girl protecting him with her life made him clench his teeth in frustration. He was never an angel but not being able to help the people who were protecting him with their life. Made him feel worse.

Suffering from the pain he finally said through gritted teeth.

"R. Run. Away."

Hearing his voice Riley glanced at him with pity and said determined to protect him.

"No. I won't go anywhere. I am going to take you with me. Trust me We can make it alive."

Christian shivered in fear or pain, he couldn't comprehend. He looked like he was about to faint. He knew his time was limited. At that time when he thought of taking another life, he begged in a strained voice.

"Ple. Please un. Understand. They. Ah. can kill you."

Riley started trembling, how could she not realize that those people were the ones responsible for his condition. She was horrified. Seeing so many people around them encircling them. The sun had already been set, they were on a deserted road. Where no one can come. Their chances of survival were very low. But nothing could change her decision to stay with him, she will never forgive herself if she tried to escape from them without helping him. She was still thinking about a way when one burly man spoke laughing.

"Hello, pretty lady, just let him die here. You should go back to your friend."

His words were not even completed when another one spoke. Trying to touch her.

"Are you crazy? He must be her boyfriend. Not a friend."

"Ah. I think what he said is the right boss."

"Yeah. Yeah. But it isn't our concern. Our main concern is to help her go away from our target. Right boys?"

"Yes, boss."

"What yes? I will count to three if after my counting she is still here. Do you know what to do?"

"Yes, boss. We do."

"Good."

"Look, miss, we don't have any bad feelings towards you. So I hope you can cooperate."

As the reality dawned upon her, she knew those goons were thinking of doing something bad to her. A bad feeling rose in her heart. 'Stuart where are you? Oh God please help me!' She murmured in her heart. Squaring her shoulders she retorted to him.

"What if I don't?"

"Accept it, madam. Till we are asking nicely. You won't like the other method we had."

She knew her words were not going to stop them from doing whatever they wanted but it can still buy her a little time.

"Sir. I don't know. What this man has done to you but please can you let it slide. I promise you will never see him again. I will make sure of that."

They laughed mockingly at her.

"Little girl, do you think you can fool us? I am going to count to three. If you left before I finished I will let you go. Since I am in such a good mood. But If you didn't. Get ready to be killed together."

"1"

"1.5"

"2"

"2.5" Just when he saw She made no movements to leave him. He exploded.

"3" A hand grabbed her arm the moment he finished his counting. Jerking her to himself the man pulled her towards him. Clutching her chin he laughed in the mask.

Riley tried to struggle in his hold strongly. While his hold on her was too tight, bruising her arm badly.

"Let me go." She shouted her voice without any fear, despite the pain in her arm.

He did not listen, he shouted for the other man to hand him the knife.

"Give me a knife."

"Boss here."

"Stop struggling." He ordered angrily.

She did not stop her struggles turned harsher than before. While Christian watched as the brave girl was manhandled by the goons. He swears in his heart at that moment that he will surely take revenge on them.

"I said leave me you motherfucker."

He grabbed her other arm as well in the same punishing grip, shaking her small drenched body. His murderous gaze fell on her body making her realize his evil plans. "If you didn't stop struggling now, I will kill you here but after having my fun with you."

Her gaze shot up in anger and she quivered.

"Please let me go." She did try to kick him in the balls. But he was too good to oversee her actions.

"Not so fast, Little girl. Now see what I will do to you."

He grabbed the back of her head pulling her face closer to him, harshly maintaining her eye contact with him. His eyes filled with fury as he gazed at her.

"I am going to fuck you before him." His words instantly caused fear in her. The hands that were holding her arms now began to touch ruthlessly while she struggled more harshly.

The scene was too much to take for Christian. He wanted to shout or do anything to help her. But he had lost too much of his blood so he fainted at the sight.

Just then Stuart's voice rang in their ears.

"Let her go."
