Dave quickly carried Aurora out of the room, but suddenly, a pistol was pointed directly at his temple.
"She belongs to me."

"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.

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
Now, Aurora stood in front of the door without daring to knock. Her hands clenched each other nervously. Anton, who was by Aurora's side, closely observed her demeanor, which had been anxious since the kidnapping incident. The cheerful and super confident Aurora had now turned into a somber girl. Even during her two-night stay in the hospital, Aurora could never sleep peacefully; the traumatic event always haunted her dreams. During that time, the doctor always prescribed sleeping pills to help Aurora rest peacefully.Anton let out a long sigh and exhaled slowly while embracing Aurora's shoulder. He knocked on the door, and at the same time, Ferdinand arrived."Let's just go inside," Ferdinand said, then reached for and pushed the door handle, opening it wide.Aurora smiled as she greeted Sekar, then turned to look at Dave, who appeared to be peacefully asleep with regular breaths. Anton led Aurora towards the bed and pulled out a chair for her to sit on. Afterw
The sound of shattering objects erupted from Aurora's room. Maria was startled and immediately woke up Hendrik, who was in a deep sleep. Equally surprised, Hendrik leaped off the bed and rushed toward Aurora's room. Hysterical screams and heartbreaking sobs could be heard as Maria followed Hendrik, who arrived first in Aurora's room."Oh God, Aurora!" Maria exclaimed, her hand covering her mouth as she saw Aurora sitting in the corner of the bed, clutching her knees, tears streaming down her face. With a trembling body and tears flowing like a river, Maria slowly approached Aurora, who was now in the comforting embrace of Hendrik, her husband."You're safe, my love, calm down!" Hendrik whispered while showering Aurora's forehead with kisses. Aurora slowly lifted her face, looking into Hendrik's eyes, filled with concern.Aurora bit her lower lip, trying to stifle her sobs, her body still trembling. Those nightmares always haunted her every time she tried to clos
