CHAPTER 62
LILY’S POV
“Stay the fuck away from her if you still value your lives.” The voice was stern and sharp, like a blade slicing through air. It sounded familiar.
“What?” Bloodshot eyes asked confusedly as he left me and focused his attention towards the sound source. The other one who had his hands pressing down on me did the same.
Seizing that opportunity, I gathered what was left of me and sought refuge by the side of the car. Looking ahead, I was able to make out Noah’s imposing silhouette from the shadows. He had this ferocious look on his face like an Alpha beast on the brink of going feral. Tightly clutched in his hand was a spiked metal bar, radiating a deadly determination that could send shivers down one’s spine.
I wished we could just find a way to escape. I didn’t want him getting involved with these scoundrels for fear of them hurting him. If that happens, it’ll be all my fault and I won’t be able to forgive myself.
“Let me guess, pretty boy,” Bloodshot Eyes sneered, his voice carrying a heavy note of mockery as he pulled his pants back up. “You looking to join in on the fun, or are you just here to play the hero? If I were you, I’d go with the first option.”
“Dude…” the other one who had a cigarette in his mouth earlier tapped Blood shot eyes on the shoulder with his eyes widened in shock as if realizing something important.
“What?” Bloodshot eyes grimaced in irritation as he was distracting his attention from Noah.
“That’s her husband!” He blurted. “The one she said was on his way to come help her.”
“Ohhh. I see,” Bloodshot eyes’ brows raised in mock realization. As his gaze returned to Noah, a sinful smirk curled on his lips. “The knight in shining armour has come to rescue his Cinderella, huh? Well, you’re just in time. We’re about to show you how real men give women an orgasm. After that, we might just help you achieve yours because you look like you’re sexually starved and in need of one.”
“Yeah pretty boy,” the other man added. “Won’t you like to feel the size of our massive cock? We could pull in right now if you want.”
They stared at each other and laughed scornfully, relishing in the joy of the moment. However, the look of fury and disgust on Noah’s face intensified as his patience wore thin.
Before they could look back at him, he approached like lightning and in a swift, forceful motion, smacked Bloodshot eyes with the spiked metal bar on the face so hard, that a few of his teeth flew out of his mouth and clattered on the floor.
Noah’s sudden and brutal act silenced their mocking laughter and smug expression, replacing it with an eerie quietness.
Bloodshot eyes mouth coloured red, blood mixed with saliva dripping from it. The lower side of his face close to his lips, where the bar had struck, was disfigured, covered in deep, bleeding cuts from the spikes. He staggered backwards, reeling from the impact, and collided with the car’s bonnet, a pained groan escaping his disfigured lips.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and wiped the side of his lips with the back of his hand as he glared at Noah murderously.
“Do you have any idea who I am?” He asked while snarling and breathing hard like a wounded wild animal.
“Just some pathetic coward who likes forcing himself on others to feel powerful,” Noah said coolly in a nonchalant attitude, resting the spiked bar across his shoulder like a seasoned batter preparing for a swing.
“By the time we’re done with you and your bitch you’ll be begging us for your deaths,” the other man swore but a cold smug smirk only formed on Noah’s face.
He ran towards Noah and lunged forward to throw him a punch but Noah skillfully evaded the attack. The man’s eyes widened in shock on realizing he missed. Before he could withdraw his hand, a barrage of strikes from the bar practically rendered it useless.
He yelped out in pain, his eyes widening in bewilderment on seeing the damage done to his hand. It was broken and bent in an awkward position with scattered bruises and torn flesh.
But Noah wasn’t deterred. He continued striking him on the side of his arm with the bar. When he felt he had done enough damage, he pushed him with a kick that sent him crashing into a nearby dumpster.
Bloodshot eyes watched with murderous hatred blazing in his eyes and a skin reddened from rage as Noah took out his colleague and made a mockery out of him. Snarling like an angry Rottweiler about to launch an attack, he wanted to strike at Noah when I intervened.
Noah had come to rescue me again. He was like a guardian angel, knowing the right time and place to appear to save me. If not for him, I would have been raped by these two filthy bastards and left to rot in this lonely place with no one to come for me. As much as his combat skills were top-notch and he had everything under control, I couldn’t just cower in fear and do nothing to help him. After everything I had been through, it was no longer in my nature to sit back and do nothing in the face of danger. Plus, I wasn’t feeling lightheaded like before so surely I can do something to help.
Quickly grabbing my handbag which was made of a sturdy material, I rushed to him just as he was about to attack Noah and smacked him on the back of his head with it. But it didn’t produce the effect I wanted as he turned to look at me with a devilish glare.
“You stupid bitch!..” He scowled with his bloodied mouth but his speech wasn’t so coherent due to the missing teeth. “I’ll show you…”
He raised his hand in an attempt to strike me when Noah charged at him like a raging bull from nowhere and delivered a spear that sent him flying and crashing hard into the windshield with a deafening thud.
My mouth fell open as I gasped in shock at witnessing that. I was speechless with both shock and gratitude as I looked at Noah. But before I could react, he hastily grabbed me by the wrist.
“We need to get out here, more of them might be coming and I think they have a gun,” he said as we started running.
