He looked up to see her looking intently at him as if pleading for him to save her.
Something about her was intriguing, maybe the fact that she looked young and innocent. But he had a deep feeling that if he didn't do anything to stop them, he was going to regret it in the near future. He made up his mind and advanced towards them.
Ethan had already groped her breasts when he heard a deep voice "Stop", he casually said "Just three rounds then you guys can have her", he was still trying to undo her buttons. Ethan wasn't aware that his friends had already been taken care of by Holt's bodyguard, Roy.
Roy went forward and punched Ethan right in the middle of his back. Ethan reflexively screamed and turned around in pain, wondering who would be so bold to deal him a blow, considering his background.
Ethan pushed Gia outside, turning to face his rivals, he bellowed "Do you have any idea who my father is?!!" Holt just let out a deep laugh, simply staring at him. This made Ethan think they were intimidated and bravely continued " kneel in front of me and kowtow three times, so I can let this slide ". Holts's eyes darkened, making a gesture towards Roy, and he immediately sprung into action.
With a speed and agility unpredictable to the human eye, Roy arrived at Ethan's back in a flash, he swiftly kicked his knees, causing him to kneel directly in front of Holt.
Ethan was shocked at this sudden turn of events yet he was too conceited to back down. He hurriedly exposed his father's position at Holt Estate Properties, " my father is the chief accountant at Holt Estate Properties, the leading Estate company in this province", he blurted out, thinking his adversaries would be scared stiff.
Holt raised a brow "And may I know your father's name ", Ethan raised his head "Ask of Liam Thompson". Holt nodded his head and veered around towards Liam his secretary "Look into this person, if he has a criminal record with our company, fire him ".
Liam nodded in agreement and took out his tablet, directly going to Liam Thompson's records with the company. " he was once involved in a fraudulent case, Mr. Holt".
Holt further interrogated Ethan "Why are you doing this to your girlfriend ". Ethan scowled, "Girlfriend?, I don't have any girlfriend, these girls just wanna get together with me because of my money, so I use them and dump them, they can't retaliate after all ". Gia heard this and her heart broke even more, she had loved Ethan not because of his money but now he would have raped her alongside his friends if this stranger hadn't interfered. Tears ran down her face, highlighting her smooth features.
Holt turned to her, only to see her crying. He ordered his bodyguard Roy to find her a place to recuperate after which she can find her way home.
Holt turned his back to leave when he heard a faint "Wait", turning around, she asked him "Can I know your name sir ", Holt just glanced at her and left the club. Meanwhile, Ethan received a call from his father asking him to come home immediately.
The next morning, Gia staggered back to her house as early as possible, hoping her parents wouldn't find out she wasn't home and throw a barrage of questions at her. Of course, Gia could lie to her dad with ease but her mum was sure to notice right away.
As she got to their apartment, she hurriedly input the passcode, trying to tiptoe into her room, she met Mia in the sitting room.
As Mia saw her, she hurriedly rushed to hug her, throwing a myriad of questions " Gia, did something bad happen?, I literally felt it, you weren't bullied by that Ethan right?". Gia calmly asked to go to their room first so they wouldn't wake their parents. Mia merely waved her hands "Don't worry about that, I told Mum and Dad that we were having a sleepover at Ava's house right after your date, so they don't have any idea that I'm still in this house".
Gia felt so grateful that she hugged Mia. "Easy there, you are going to kill me", Mia said jokingly.
"Now back to you, Gia, what transpired between you and that loser, because I felt your pain " Mia probed as they walked towards their room. Gia looked at the floor " I was wrong about him, he's actually a playboy and he gets away with it each time because he's from a rich family " Gia burst into tears. " he led me to a brothel, gave me two bottles of alcohol and then, then he fingered me, can you imagine Mia, he also brought four of his friends along ", Gia said in between sobs.
" if it wasn't for a man who had come to my rescue, I would have probably died from their assault " Gia rested her head on her sister's shoulder who slowly stroked her hair. Mia was burning with rage " I knew that guy wasn't up to something good, the moment I saw him, but do you know the name of your savior so we can go thank him later".
Gia shook her head "Nope, he didn't tell (sniff sniff) me his name but I know that he has dirty blonde hair and black eyes with thin pink lips " Gia said dreamily "Gosh he was so handsome ".
Mia suggested she draw him on a piece of paper so they could easily find him and thank him. Gia readily agreed. But for now, the sisters were both tired so they decided to catch some sleep before morning.
Meanwhile Julian had come home that night to inform his wife about a job opportunity he recently got and the pay was generous enough for him to rent another apartment where he could peacefully stay with his wife, also considering that the distance, from there to his workplace was huge.
As such, he decided to rent one that was a close proximity to his work. But the kids weren't coming along. Charlotte refused at first, saying she would like to stay with her children but Julian persisted "All alright honey, after a month you can come back here but I need to get adapted to the new apartment and I really need your help ", he said, deeply looking into her blue eyes.
Charlotte couldn't say no to such a seductive stare, she shyly turned her head and said an " alright " that was barely audible. Julian reached for her hands and whispered " I love you so much, Charlotte ".
The next morning, Julian and Charlotte already packed their things waiting for Mia and Gia to wake up from their sleep. Gia was the first to come down " Good morning Dad, mum" she greeted her parents.
They exchanged glances because it wasn't typical of Gia to greet in the morning or to wake up early, they replied to her though. Mia came down too and noticed the packed luggage "Where are you guys headed to " she curiously asked.
It was Charlotte who spoke up and explained everything to them. Gia didn't really mind but Mia was going to miss her parents so much. She instinctively walked up to her parents and pulled them in a warm hug, everyone was feeling emotional at this point, except Gia.
Julian spoke up, " Gia, come over here", she reluctantly went in and joined the hug. Soon after, they left, Mia and Gia stood at the doorway waving them goodbye.
Mia was still feeling her parent's abrupt exit when Gia pulled her hands "Come on, it's not like we will never see them again, have you forgotten I have to draw my savior after which we would invite Ava over ". Mia looked at Gia who was so happy but she still felt uneasy looking in the direction her parents just left.
Mia watched in amusement as Gia drew the so-called "Savior", the drawing was kind of funny but Mia's uneasiness increased with each passing second. She picked up her phone to call her parents when Gia's phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown caller, at this moment, Mia was sure something had gone terribly wrong.
She immediately reached for the phone before Gia could react, accepting the call "Is this Julian and Charlotte Reynolds's household, Mia gave a faint yes, and the other end continued. " they were just involved in a ghastly motor accident, please come over to the city hospital " and with that, the line went dead.
