After shouting at the top of his lungs, instead of letting go, Darrel just started laughing even harder as if he didn’t have an ounce of fear. Using his free hand, the man then covered Veronica’s mouth. Meanwhile, his other hand seemed to be holding the beautiful woman’s body in place, preventing her from moving around.
Tonight, Darrel was determined to conquer a Veronica. Since the woman’s arrival at the party, he had been observing her and wanting to touch her body.
“I’ve told you before, no one will hear your screams, Ve. And no one will come to help you either.”
Veronica seemed to shake her head while struggling. She tried hard to break free from Darrel’s grip. But alas, the size of the man’s physique made Veronica weaker.
“SSsttss,” Darrel hissed with a menacing expression on his face. He grinned sharply, as if he wanted to devour Veronica alive. “What’s so hard about enjoying it? Besides, I just want to have some fun with you. Just so you know, out of all the guests who came, you’re the only one who caught my attention to be touched, Veronica Ashborne.”
Darrel grinned again. He leaned in deliberately, managing to kiss and then wetly lick Veronica’s neck. Inhaling deeply the scent of the perfume she wore, he then attempted to move and aimed for Veronica’s plump lips that he was currently silencing with his right hand.
Veronica seemed to shake her head again in disagreement. As Darrel’s face got closer, she struggled with all her might. Gathering all her courage, Veronica directed her foot. She then kicked the base of Darrel’s thigh, causing him to reflexively release his grip, wincing in pain.
“You bastard!” Darrel cursed angrily.
Not letting Veronica escape, Darrel immediately grabbed Veronica’s hair. He pulled her and then pinned her body down, even attempting to forcefully tear apart the party gown Veronica was wearing.
Just as he was about to bury his head in Veronica’s chest, Darrel was startled by the sound of the door being kicked from the outside. As he turned around, he found two men entering and beating him to the ground.
“Darwin!”
Veronica immediately screamed upon seeing her husband, who at that moment had broken down the door and entered along with Randy. Fortunately, Darwin had taken the initiative to persuade Randy to follow him and track Veronica down wherever she had gone.
“Anyway, you have to come with me, Ran,” Darwin insisted a few minutes after Veronica left. Using his hand, he pulled Randy to get into his car parked in the driveway.
“Where are you going again, Win? I’m tired, I just want to go home and rest.”
Randy’s protests were audible, but amusingly, he just went along as Darwin led him into the car.
“I have a bad feeling. You have to accompany me to make sure where Veronica went just now.”
After fastening his seatbelt, Randy immediately turned to Darwin. His mind was filled with various questions ready to be directed at his cousin.
“But how can we follow her? Most likely, the car Veronica took is already too far ahead. She’s been gone for a while.”
“Using GPS, Ran.”
“What do you mean by GPS?”
Darwin didn’t answer right away. He placed his phone on the car holder on the dashboard first. He opened one of the applications, carefully observed, then followed the direction indicated by the arrow on the map as if providing guidance.
“After the incident with Veronica getting lost on Mount Hallasan and Myeongdong yesterday, I asked her to download a tracking app. It makes it easy for both of us to know each other’s locations through our phones. And now? That app is useful for me to find out where she is.”
“Well, if you can monitor it from your phone, why are you tailing her like this?” Randy protested a little annoyed. He thought that if everything could be checked via a smartphone, Darwin could just keep an eye on Veronica’s position from home.
“I’m still not at ease, Ran. I have to personally make sure where she’s going.”
In the end, Randy reluctantly agreed when Darwin asked him to follow where Veronica was going that night. Before long, the tracker app guiding Darwin to follow his wife led him to a well-known bar in South Jakarta.
“Paradise?” Randy murmured while surveying the area from inside the car. “Did Veronica really come here?”
“According to the app, she stopped here.”
“What kind of party or what is your wife up to, Win?” Randy asked curiously.
Darwin shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t really understand why his wife had gone to a bar tonight for whatever reason.
“Anyway, if I find Veronica inside, I’ll take her home immediately. Let her be angry or whatever.”
Due to this concern, Darwin hurriedly caught up with Veronica by deciding to enter the bar, aiming to quickly locate his wife. Initially, he had difficulty finding Veronica in the midst of the crowd that night, who seemed to be enjoying the DJ’s music.
For a while, he searched here and there. Until eventually, Randy’s eyes caught Veronica’s presence. She had been sitting with a man and then stood up before leaving the table.
It was clear that she was walking towards the left side of the dance floor. They thought that perhaps Veronica was heading to the restroom.
However, Darwin’s thoughts were disrupted when the man who had been sitting with Veronica appeared to be following her from behind in a very strange manner. And Darwin’s suspicion turned out to be correct. The man he and Randy were suspicious of was indeed planning something inappropriate and harmful towards Veronica.
Fortunately, Darwin caught up quickly. If not, his wife might have already been subjected to harassment by another man.
“Don’t get involved!” Darrel yelled, wiping the blood from his lip. Choosing to rise, the big-bodied man attempted to counterattack by trying to strike Darwin.
Seeing the fight, Veronica immediately ran towards the exit. Meanwhile, Randy walked out, possibly to call security or maybe even to contact the authorities to promptly address the situation.
Meanwhile, Darwin was still engaged in a fight with Darrel. Both were throwing punches and attacks. Darrel even managed to knock a flower vase off the sink towards Darwin, causing the man’s hand to be stained with blood.
“Careful, Win!” Veronica shouted hysterically, especially seeing Darwin’s arm covered in blood.
Darwin then stepped forward to grab Darrel’s arm. He pulled, then squeezed, and finally slammed Darrel’s body to the ground. Just at that moment, Randy finally arrived with security personnel and immediately ordered them to take the man to a security post while waiting for the authorities to arrive.
Hearing the commotion, visitors who happened to pass by the back room gathered to check what was happening. Even Deasy and Sean, who were looking for Veronica, joined to find the woman after seeing the crowd.
Without saying a word, Darwin immediately pulled Veronica’s wrist to get her out. Passing through the crowd, they stopped for a moment right in front of Deasy and Sean.
“This time, I’ll forgive you,” Darwin pointed sarcastically at Deasy. “If in the future you take Veronica out and anything happens to her, I assure you that you’ll end up in jail!”
Darwin then walked away, leaving Deasy and Sean speechless, unable to respond or defend themselves in front of him.
