Chapter 43 - Alone (2/2)

She walked towards the door, only to be pushed back inside. She was slammed by the door and before she knew it someone already poured water to her.

Her body shivered from the cold and fear that she felt towards the girls. When she looked at them, she thought she saw some evil faces in them

Then horrible things happened, the girls started beating her. Slapping her on the face, scratching her arms, pulling her hair and kicking her. She couldn't fight back since there were six of them. Andrew told her to not think of the Cross family name but she couldn't afford to ruin it.

She fell on the floor bruised and injured. The girl who seemed to be the mastermind, squeezed her face by holding her cheeks, tilting her head to level hers.

”I'm looking forward to your friends' reaction when you tell them about this. Nobody could mess up with me.” She smirked.

Then they turned around and left her. Nina mustered her strength to go inside one of the cubicles. She took her phone from her pocket and dialed Andrew's number. Her hands were shaking and tears were falling from her eyes. She wanted to talk to him badly. She wanted him to console him. She missed him, his voice, his touch, everything about him.

But to her disappointment, the line was busy. She tried dialing a few times but her calls didn't push through. Then she saw a text message from him that was sent half an hour ago.

'Baby, I'm sorry. Father asked me to attend a business conference after France. I will be flying to England in a week. I will be gone for another two weeks.'

Nina's heart was broken. She was in physical, emotional and mental pain. She cried her heart out alone in the bathroom. She suddenly the loneliness in her heart.

”Nina, are you there?” It was Rev's voice.

He was knocking non-stop so she decided to open the door for him. Rev was devastated seeing Nina all bruised and soaked. Her lower lip had a cut and her left cheek was swollen. Her knees were red from the cuts and her right arm turned purple.

Rev gritted his teeth and clenched his fist from anger. He couldn't believe that bullying in this school was still happening until now. Without a word, he carried Nina princess style and rushed her to the infirmary.

Nina didn't protest. She was so weak and all she could do was cry in Rev's arms. Her vision became blurry and she didn't realize that she lost consciousness.

Andrew was on the phone talking to his father. They were arguing about his trip to England. He didn't know that his father had already booked him a flight after his trip to France so he called him to argue with him.

He sighed when he didn't receive a reply from Nina. He wanted to fly back to see her, he missed her so much. He felt guilty for leaving her alone after their engagement and he was worried that she might encounter some bullies in school.

He heard a beep sound on his phone and he was so excited to see who it was. He expected it was from Nina but he frowned when he saw an anonymous number.

Andrew's face turned dark when he saw the message.. It was a photo of Rev, the school counselor, and in his arms was his fiance, Nina.
