Chapter 122 Dont Be Afraid, Im Here With You (1/2)
”Help!” Amelia screamed at the top of her lungs. There was despair in her voice and tears flowed freely down her soiled cheeks.
Lucian's car pulled over in front of the house. He got off right away and ran all the way to the house. The front gate was left ajar, obviously forced open with the door broken in half. A feeling of anxiety mixed with anger moved up his spine and to the base of his skull. He rushed into the house and immediately heard Amelia's desperate cry for help. His adrenaline immediately flowed into every fiber of his muscles as he ran into Amelia's room. He immediately saw the man who was forcing himself on Amelia. He grabbed the man by his shoulders, lifted him off the spot and threw him at the wall. The man's back and head made a loud thudding sound as they collided with the wall with a powerful force.
The bearded man groaned as he hit the wall. He was stunned by the force of Lucian's attack. But Lucian was not done yet. He approached the dazed man and started to pepper him with blows. Rage completely took over Lucian. When the bearded man fell unconscious from the beating, Lucian bound the man with a rope and called Eric and told him of the situation.
Amelia was so shocked with what happened that she curled up into a ball in one corner of the room. Tears flowed down her face like torrents of rain that brought burning pain to Lucian's heart.
Lucian approached her slowly so that she wouldn't be startled and add to her distress. He then straightened her clothes. She stared blankly at a wall but she seemed to recognize Lucian. He gently lifted her up and then carried her out of the room.
She was pale and her hair was a mess. Her eyes looked lifeless and dull. They just stared blankly forward into nothingness.
”Don't be afraid. I'm here with you now. Everything will be fine. It will all be okay...”
Amelia rested on Lucian's chest as he carried her out of her room. She felt his warmth with her ears as the thumping heartbeat of Lucian's heart played a steady rhythm for her. She slowly stared up at Lucian's handsome face and she immediately felt relieved and safe.
mb, she would've probably fought her attacker off more aggressively.
”Courtney, please stay here with Amelia. I have something I need to take care of.” Lucian then bid both ladies farewell and went back to his room next door to prepare himself for his errands that day.
Amelia felt disappointed when she heard that Lucian had to leave. But she did not betray a single ounce of what she felt and maintained her expressionless face and calm.
