After watching for a while how the men were manhandling Rhea and to say how much fun he was having seeing his little enemy going through hell, Logan sighed in frustration and opened the car door and stepped out only to be in time just to catch Rhea when one of the men pushed her violently.
“Okay… excuse me gentlemen… I have no clue what’s going on here but… listen”Logan made sure Rhea was standing behind him while the four men stood before him with angry expressions.
“Give us the girl or else”another one with green black hair with a huge beard stepped forward and said in an angry tone that would scare anyone including the woman behind him.
“I know she’s a troublemaker but… but listen… she’s my driver so whatever you have with her… can wait until she drives me back home”he said more seriously, but the four men were confused as they looked at him with narrowed eyes while Rhea had the urge to shoot him again for being such a fool. Here she was thinking he would save her, but he was actually saving her as dinner to the men later on, what kind of man was he.
“Wait! Do you think we came here to play?”the same green-haired man said just as Logan was about to drag Rhea back to the car and when they stopped and turned around Logan gasped seeing now the men holding guns, Rhea held Logan’s arm tightly.
“He-he… gentlemen… y… you do know we are in public right… I can assure you once she drops me home… I’ll personally deliver her to you”he hated guns when he was shot, and now he saw getting shot once more, this time not by Rhea but the thugs after Rhea. Now that he thought about it, he was certain Rhea wasn’t a doctor or nurse in her past life but a daughter of a thug or gangster.
“She belongs to our boss now step away from her, or you will die”the same man growled out the words while pointing the gun straight at Logan, Logan swallowed dry air as he looked for words to say to the men for them to back away. Rhea facepalmed herself for being g with such a lame man clearly he could do more than give lame excuses.
“What are you doing? fight this creeps… beat them blue and black”she whispered to him, but Logan shrugged her off lightly and tilted his head towards her and said through gritted teeth.
“I’m not a wrestler nor am I a thug to fight these creeps… why don’t you fight them huh”he was already irritated with the predicament they were in, and now he had to fight some thugs, what if they hurt him, come to think of it he was already hurt.
“Enough… come now or get ready to be dragged by force”this time the man’s voice was like that of an animal as he advanced and took out a knife and pointed it at Logan. Logan cursed multiple times as he kept his hand on Rhea and got ready to fight. As he watched his opponents Logan used an open opportunity and kicked the gun out of the man’s hand, and he fell back taking his men together with him.
“Fools… run”he said and dragged Rhea to the car, shoved her in the passenger seat and took the driver’s seat.
“But you are not well”Rhea said with heavy breaths when she saw he was about to drive, but Logan ignored her as he took the wheel and started the car. Rhea was terrified when she saw the men getting up and grabbed their guns only to shoot at them,
“Ahh! save me!” Rhea was the one who screamed and immediately grabbed Logan’s arm and tried to hide. Logan had the urge to throw her away,, but he had to drive the car at full speed. All Rhea could hear were gunshots directed at their car and Logan letting out curses even the ones she didn’t understand as he drove like a mad man.
“Will you let go of menow”she heard Logan say and shrugged her off only then did she look up and saw that they were somewhere safe at some dark painted villa surrounded by thick trees.
“W… where are we?”she asked as she moved her hair off her face as she looked around and Logan glared at her held her chest area which was now bleeding and got out of the car so did Rhea.
“Somewhere they won’t find us”he said as they walked further in and Rhea observed the place, and it was secluded but how did they get here so fast.
“This is my private villa, I never use it, but now I’m doing it… we used a shortcut and for your information, we are still in the city”he said as he took the keys from where he had kept them and walked to the door, Rhea followed him in and the place was like a dark abode for the devil. She thought in disdain however Logan didn’t away to show her around as he immediately rushed upstairs to tend to his wound.
“Really dark, is he a human to have such a place”he muttered to himself and looked around but stopped when she saw some blood drops on the floor which went all the way upstairs, and she knew the man had it worse.
Back in one of the rooms’ logan had stripped of his shirt and was removing the bandage which was now soaked in red liquid, as he was ripping the bandage off the bathroom door opened and Rhea rushed in.
“Do you mind?”he said in frustration, but Rhea was already removing the rest of the bandage and quickly took the first aid box from the cupboard and before Logan could say anything she started tending to his wound. Rhea had a serious face as she worked on him, and she noticed that the blood she saw didn’t come from his chest wound but his hand, it seemed a bullet missed him and just caused a bruise.
Time passed by and Rhea was done and had taken him to carefully lie on the bed with a new bandage together with his left hand.
“Okay… now its fine”she muttered and tried to leave but Logan stopped her.
“Why are those dangerous men after you?”he asked however Rhea was too tired to explain.
“It doesn’t concern you”she said cheekily which got Logan angry.
“Really? they nearly shot me, and I’m sure they won’t stop until they harm me, and you are saying it doesn’t concern me… as long as you are living with me better tell me what the fuck those men wanted and why is their thug boss after you or did you steal something from them “he said so much in anger such that Rhea sighed and walked back to him in frustration.
“Fine, I’ll tell you”she muttered and Logan saw her face turn serious for the first time, but he didn’t care because his life was in danger all because of her, it seemed she attracted trouble anywhere she went hence if he knew why those men wanted her then he would try to avoid it until he was well enough to get rid of her.
“Talk”he sat in a comfortable position and waited for her to speak.
“Those men wants me because I was sold to their boss”she said and Logan didn’t react much but narrowed his eyes for her to continue, Rhea was having a hard time saying anything because only Sia and Mario knew of her issues other than them, it was difficult to tell anyone about anything related to her private life but since she was living with Logan it was best she told him everything even when she knew he would taunt her for the rest of her days.
“When I was four my mom died, she was the only one I had… I didn’t know who my father was, and I don’t care… mom was the only one I had and when she died she left me with her best friend whom she trusted but she turned out to be a snake who sold me to marry some rich old man when I turned twelve”she managed to say and Logan felt a reaction, was it pity but whatever it was he felt it.
“S.. sold… but how… why would she sell you”he asked and wanted to know more about her story.
