Sebastian heard some muffling sound from the last room of the hallway. He banged on the door several times but didn’t get any response. So he decided to break the door. With that, he kicked open the door. As soon as the broken door collapsed on the tiled floor, he stepped inside.
He was roaming his eyes around the room in search of Kylie, finally, his eyes landed on Kylie. She was tied to the bed with a tear-stained face. Her eyes were gloomy in fear. Blood rushed in his body with rage and he turned to Brandon Smith, who was standing half-naked at the end of the bed.
With three long strides, Sebastian reached Brandon and landed a hard punch on his jaw. Then came the second, and third and he continued punching him until he heard a commotion from behind him.
Paul ran inside the room with the bodyguards and pulled Sebastian apart from Brandon. He asked the bodyguards to hold Brandon in his place so he couldn’t escape. Though Brandon wasn’t in a state where he could escape with his partially limp body.
“Mr. Smith, please calm down. Miss Kylie needs you. Let the bodyguards handle Brandon Smith for you,” Paul pleaded. Only then did Sebastian recall Kylie. He turned to the bed where Kylie was still tied by hands. She was looking at him with horror in her eyes. Sebastian’s eyes followed Kylie’s eyes and saw his blood-stained fists. Paul gave him a towel to wipe off the blood.
After clearing the blood as soon as possible, Sebastian ran beside the bed. He untied her from the bed and helped her to get up.
“Are you okay, baby? Did he hurt you? Did he touch you inappropriately?” Sebastian asked looking for any mark of assault on her body. He exhaled a deep breath when he couldn’t find any mark of assault on her body except for the red marks on her wrist from the ropes earlier. He pulled her in for a hug and only then Kylie sobbed and started crying out loud.
“Seb-Sebastian, h-he tr-tried to…” Kylie tried to say the word in between her sobs but just imagining what could happen if Sebastian didn’t show up on time made her sob louder.
“Ssshhh baby don’t cry. I am here now. No one can harm you when I am with you. Don’t cry my love,” Sebastian cooed her. His voice was soft and soothing; far apart from the animalistic voice he made a few moments ago. Then Sebastian turned to Paul and the latter immediately understood what to do.
“Beat him to a pulp. Don’t stop until our boss says so,” he ordered the group of bodyguards and the loyal bodyguard started beating Brandon. Soon the sound of Kylie’s sob faded away by the loud cries of Brandon. Sebastian helped Kylie to stand up on her feet and then fixed her disheveled clothes.
“Are you sure, you can walk?” he asked her in a very soft voice. Kylie nodded but soon realized she was too weak to keep her body standing. Sebastian let her lean on his body and circled an arm around her protectively. As the couple was going forward towards the door, several bodyguards barged in followed by Robinson Smith.
His father’s face darkened when he saw the person Sebastian’s bodyguards were beating. He frowned and looked at Paul who was standing there.
“Stop beating Brandon. How dare you put your hand on a Smith?” he yelled at Paul. But Paul didn’t flinch nor did he order the guards to stop. He only watched his boss with his calm eyes. Sebstian’s people were loyal to him and they obeyed no one other than him. Seeing the group of bodyguards unmoved by his order, Robinson Smith clenched his jaw and turned to face his son.
“Tell you men to stop beating him or I will have to ask my bodyguards to make them stop,” he threatened Sebastian but he was unaffected by his threat.
“You can try stopping them, Dad. But I can assure you that you will need to hire new bodyguards tomorrow because no one will get out of here alive if they try to help that bastard, Brandon,” Sebastian said with gritted teeth.
“You, how dare you defy your father and beat your cousin for some whore like her,” Robinson spat turning his cold eyes to Kylie. She flinched by the intensity of his glare and it didn’t go unnoticed by Sebastian.
“No one goes out alive after harming my woman. And don’t try to intimidate her Dad,” Sebastian shielded Kylie from the deathly glares of his father by pulling her in his embrace.
“Then you should have kept your whore in her place instead of letting her come here to seduce other men,” said Robinson Smith. His voice was cold and full of hatred.
“Dad, don’t you dare say something inappropriate about her. She was the victim here and we both know how lame of a person that bastard Brandon is. He went to court several times for harassing women,” Sebastian replied back with anger. When the father and son were fighting, a slender figure stepped inside the room.
“What is going on here?” said a sweet voice. Mae walked inside the room and finally, her eyes landed on Sebastian who was holding another woman in his embrace.
“What happened here, Sebastian? Who is the woman?” she asked in her soft sweet voice.
“She is one of his secretaries and Sebastian just rescued her from being assaulted,” Robinson Smith replied quickly. He didn’t want to break off the arrangements between Smiths and Wiggins.
“Oh poor thing, is she okay? Did he manage to do something with her? Should I call in a doctor for her?” Mae asked impatiently with worry in her voice. Anyone could say she was deeply affected by the thought of a girl being assaulted.
“Thank you Miss Wiggins but I can take care of my wife,” saying that Sebastian picked Kylie up by placing his free hand under her knee then walked out of the room with her in his hands leaving a shocked Mae Wiggins and his father who was breathing fire in anger.
