Aurora slowly opened the bathroom door while silently reciting a prayer in her heart, hoping that someone would come to her rescue. Without changing her clothes, Aurora reluctantly stepped out of the bathroom. Kenzi was waiting for her, wearing a loving smile that made Aurora's heart race as her face turned paler."Let's eat first; I don't want you to get sick," Kenzi said gently as he held Aurora's hand and led her to sit on the sofa in the room."I want to go home, Kenzi," Aurora replied while giving Kenzi a sharp look, trying to gather her courage. However, Kenzi remained indifferent and picked up a plate of food, intending to feed Aurora."I want to go home!" Aurora shouted, refusing the plate that Kenzi offered and pushing it away forcefully. Crash... The plate was thrown forcefully, shattering into pieces with its contents scattered on the floor."What's wrong, My Lord?" A large, intimidating man with dark skin and a fearsome appearance entered the room hastily upon hearing the
Dave quickly carried Aurora out of the room, but suddenly, a pistol was pointed directly at his temple."She belongs to me."Door"Quick, take Aurora and go!" Delon shouted after managing to shoot Kenzi's hand and then taking cover behind a wall while firing at Kenzi's henchmen who continued to attack."Damn, they keep multiplying," Delon cursed as he pulled another revolver from inside his jacket and continued to return fire with both hands. Delon didn't expect a new wave of attackers from outside, especially since he had already neutralized all of Kenzi's men with his team.A shootout was inevitable. Dave clenched his jaw and lowered Aurora to hide behind his back."How dare you touch my woman!" Dave shouted with fury, then struck Kenzi's face and kicked him mercilessly.Kenzi groaned in pain, his face bruised. "It turns out Aurora's lips are sweeter than I imagined," Kenzi taunted with a smile that further enraged Dave.Door
Dave relentlessly attacked James, beating him mercilessly until James collapsed. "Goodbye, Uncle James. I'm sorry I have to end it all now," Dave said, raising his pistol and aiming it at James's head. But suddenly, Dave remembered Aurora's terrified look at him. He hesitated, then fired multiple shots into James's side instead. Delon was taken aback by Dave's actions. Dave then discarded his pistol in a random direction."Delon, take them away before I kill him," Dave ordered, finally coming back to his senses."Quick, take them!" Delon instructed his men, who began to evacuate the victims, both alive and deceased."You should get to the hospital," Delon suggested when he saw Dave's severe wounds. But it seemed that Dave's injuries weren't affecting him much; he appeared calm and untroubled."I'm fine, kid. Injuries like these won't kill me," Dave replied nonchalantly as he walked out of the grand house. Delon shook his head, looking at the blood that co
"It seems like you missed me a lot, little girl," Ferdinan said, extending his arms towards Erika. Back then, Ferdinan had loved Erika deeply, but it was more of a brotherly love. However, due to a misunderstanding, his friendship with Alan had strained as Alan became jealous of their closeness. Ferdinan never had the chance to explain his feelings for Erika to Alan; he had to leave because his mission was completed, and he had to disappear without a trace.Erika stood there, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her memories with Ferdinan flashed before her eyes. He had always been there for her. After her parents passed away, leaving her an orphan, Ferdinan had been her superhero, always ready and vigilant by her side. Unbeknownst to Erika, Ferdinan had been sent by her father before his death to protect her from her uncle and relatives who sought to harm her for the inheritance.Due to his genuine sympathy, Ferdinan's feelings had truly Daveeloped. During his three years
Maria's life seemed to have been drained from her body when she saw Aurora's expression when she woke up earlier. Aurora sat quietly with a vacant stare, her hands clutching her legs. She didn't even seem to notice Maria's presence beside her. After a while, Aurora smiled, then silently began to cry. If the nurse hadn't given her a sedative, her condition might have been even worse, and according to the nurse, it could have been much more severe."Maybe we should go home, Pa. Arabella must be alone at home," Andra suggested, which was immediately agreed upon by Hendrik. Andra held both Hendrik and Maria's hands, kissing the back of each hand, followed by Aryan.In the next room, Dave still hadn't regained consciousness after the surgery. Sekar stared blankly at Dave, never expecting such a terrible tragedy to strike her family again. At her age, which had passed the half-century mark, she felt that she could no longer bear to see one of her family members injured, even
The next day, Aurora underwent an examination by Dr. Miranda, a psychiatrist recommended directly by Dr. Rafael, the psychiatrist who had been treating Aryan until he was declared cured. During the interview, Aurora appeared restless and couldn't bring herself to describe the events she had gone through. She would even stutter when mentioning the name Kenzi. Afterward, she would break down in tears if asked about what Kenzi had done to her.After examining Aurora, Dr. Miranda requested that representatives from Aurora's family accompany her to her office to explain the severity of Aurora's trauma."Please have a seat," Dr. Miranda kindly invited Hendrik and Andra to sit once they were inside her office."Thank you, Doctor," Hendrik replied briefly, then took a seat in a chair opposite the young psychiatrist."So, in cases of violence like what Miss Aurora experienced, it can cause the victim to suffer from depression. Violence against women, whether verba
While enduring the pain, Dave took slow, shuffling steps towards Aurora's hospital room, which was next to his. Daveina, annoyed but concerned, followed him closely, helping to hold the IV pole and standing by in case anything happened.Dave knocked on the door with a racing heart, and shortly, a beautiful woman in modest attire, Maria, opened it with a warm smile."Dave, come on in!" Maria welcomed Dave and Daveina.Aurora's body tensed immediately upon hearing her boyfriend's name mentioned by Maria, and Arabella stopped what she was doing, which was combing Aurora's long hair. Aurora turned and spotted Dave standing at the door of the room, sporting his new appearance. His hazel eyes gazed at her affectionately from behind black-framed glasses. Despite the faint obstruction of injuries, Aurora couldn't deny that his charm had increased.The two lovers locked eyes in silence.Silence.Still, with her eyes locked, Dave slowly walked towards
Anton stood between Aurora's hospital room and Dave's. His heart suddenly raced as he imagined Daveina's face welcoming him into that room. After Anton had given Dave a blood transfusion yesterday, he intentionally didn't return to the hospital. He was puzzled by the sudden heartache he felt every time he encountered Daveina since their meeting at the hospital yesterday. Anton tried to suppress the unfamiliar feelings for the girl he found incredibly annoying. A mature man who worked as a lecturer couldn't possibly fall in love with a young girl like Daveina. She was a far cry from his ideal wife, as Anton longed for a pious woman who could maintain her modesty and behavior, someone mature, not a playful girl in skimpy outfits like Daveina usually wore. Anton admitted that Daveina's stature was not as tall as Aurora's, but in certain areas, she was quite curvaceous and well-endowed, and her always-sexy appearance had turned Anton's life upside down for the past two months.An
