Chapter 48: Chapter 48

Gulping hard in terror of what she has gone through, I removed my hand from her ear and slightly pulled away. I rested my forehead against her and took off my coat and wrapped it around her.

"It's okay.. I am here. I promise, I'll never leave you alone ever again."

I picked her up like bridal style, I hate the clicking sound her chain around her foot is making. I want to release her from this.

I saw Tyler holding some of them captive. His eyes widened when he looked at her. We stopped there and I turned my attention to Sophie,

"Sophie.." I called her, she slowly lifted her gaze and met mine. Her ravage form is killing me.

"Tell me, who made you like this." I asked, looking at them fiercely. When she trembles looking at them, my blood boils more. What have they done to her that she is so petrified.

"It's alright. I am here. No one can harm you in my presence." I reassured her. She held my shirt and nuzzle closely after motioning to two guys. I looked at Tyler who nodded and I took her outside.

"I'll be back." I said but she held me.

"Don't.. go.." She whispered. I lean closer to her and kissed her forehead, "I can't be at ease if I don't take the life of the bastard who made you like this." I growled.

"I-I ..want to.. w-witness it too.. he...r-ra-r" She began to stutter. I began to rub her back,

"What?" I asked softly. She looked at me with a glint of.. shame? She held my arm and looked down as if she was depraved and mouthed 'raped'. My eyes widened as I felt like my life had been sucked out of me. The things around me burn in a fiery fire as I am in a desolate place feeling her agony which is killing me painfully like a slow poison. How much have you suffered?

I hugged her again and began to cry again,

"Sophie.. I.. I.. am so sorry." I sobbed loudly. Why is all the anguish of this world is in her fate? Why is she always the victim? Don't they have any mercy on her? Just why?!

I sniffed and wiped my tears and picked her again. My trembling lips can't produce any sound other than a cry. I have no control over myself. Biting my tongue to calm myself a little, I picked her up again and took her inside again.

"Give them a painful death d- Hey, why is Sister-in-Law here?" I sniffed and didn't reply to him.

I saw some boxes in the corner and gently placed her there.

"These two, right?" I asked softly. She just gave me a nod and began to pant in dread.

"Shh... it's okay, I am here." I tried to soothe her.

"Man, why is she here?" Tyler asked again.

"She deserves to watch them die." I said with venom laced in my voice. I tightened my hand in a fist and looked at them infuriated.

"They don't deserve an easy death." I hissed grabbing one of them by the collar as I punched him again and again.

"How dare you touch her!?" I shouted, punching him again and again. Tears rolled onto my cheek. I can never forget that look of hers. How she lowered her gaze and said that word. Afraid of my reaction, afraid of meeting her own gaze. It’s etched in my mind as a constant source of ravage, "Finally, I sucked the feeling of being defiled from her and you motherfucker elicited it again!" I shouted.

His face was red from blood. I pushed him away, my knuckles also slightly bloodied from hitting him again and again. I then took out my gun and shot him. I will take revenge from everyone who made her like this, who ruined everything.

I heard a squeaking sound from Sophie and turned to look at her. Her eyes were shut, hand clenched in a tight grip. My gaze softened looking at her like this. I went to her and caress her cheek gently, I whispered in her ears,

"Do you still want to witness the death of the other one?" She bit her lips and gave me a nod without opening her eyes.

"Cover your ears." I said softly. And she put a hand over her ears.

I shook my head and turned to the other one. I shot his leg first and heard his scream. She must have also screamed like that. I then shot his arm and put my foot over it as he screamed louder. The fury filled me as I couldn't get enough of this sound. How dare he touch her with his filthy hands, when she couldn't bear my touch, I couldn't even imagine how hard it must be for her to bear that. How dare he defile her. Filled with extensive detest and wrath, I shot his head.

After killing them, I threw the gun away and wiped the sweat on my forehead. I took a life after years and it was for her... again.. just like the first time.

I looked at her, she was holding the coat tightly, trembling violently.

I pushed the hairs from her face and picked her again. I placed her in the car. She curled like a ball. I sat beside her and began to rub her back, Tyler came and began to drive to hospital without saying a word.

The drive was silent and Tyler finally spoke up, "I.. I.. have never seen you like this. And I don't want to ask what happened to her." Tyler managed to breath out.

"But... Sophie is one heck of a girl. I have never seen someone as strong as her." He said as I ran my fingers in her hair and looked at her form which is currently passed out.

"I know..."

Let me see a scenery where all the pains were oblivious to her.
