Chapter 8 seven

Carol is uneasy. She got this bad feeling that someone might be following her secretly, from the time she left the hospital until she entered her condo unit.

She's afraid of her safety especially since she's alone, and she's fragile a woman. And if she tell this matter to her father, he will surely stop her from working as well as her mother, older brother and two cousins. They are all safety freaks when it comes to her.

Carol gasped and quickly hid when she saw a human shadow. She was alone here, so it must be a bad person who owns that shadow. Carol was hiding behind her long sofa holding her breath, and she screams loudly when the said shadow of thief stopped in front of her.

Carol's face instantly paled when she saw that the man was holding a gun. His eyes are red like you he just woken up but he's not. In addition to that, she can smell alcohol all over around. The man's gaze is too dangerous and full of lust at the same time that is making her uneasy. Although shaking with fear, Carol did her best to get out of her condo unit but she end up screaming in pain when the man suddenly pulled her violently.

"Where are you going?" this terrible man asks while grinning.

"L-let go of me please? T-take everything you want, just please don't hurt me..." Carol begged while sobbing.

She thought that she would never experience this thing again but she was wrong. She doesn't have her two bodyguards today, because they went home because it's their day off and looks like this man has been keeping an eyes on her for couple of days because he knew her passcode too.

Maybe tomorrow, her dead body will be found lying on the ground because she can't fight this terrible man. The thief was very large. and I think the man is about forty-seven years old.

"Don't worry, little miss...I will get everything I want later, but for now I want to taste you. You're so beautiful, little miss, I only got the chance to be here--with you, because your guards are not around that I am very thankful off. It has been a long time since I laid my eyes on you, I carefully yet hungrily watches you from afar. It's a good thing that the man I always sees inside of your room didn't caught me," the terrible man said and laughed devilishly.

Carol didn't know what to do at the moment, especially when the man harshly lay her on the floor. She repeatedly screams and begged to the man to let her go, she's scared...super scared but she can't do anything. She's weak. Her loud shouts and begging stops when the man put a piece of cloth on her mouth that makes her gag.

Carol's body was shaking violently. Her eyes continued to tear up and she was silently praying that someone would come and protect her over this man, but it seems unlikely to happen because she didn't know anyone in this building.

Carol starts on moving her body violently when she felt the man starts on caressing her legs up to her thighs which was followed by a loud evil laughter. It is so disgusting.

"You're skin is very smooth little miss...I badly want to take a bite," The man said, and Carol almost fainted when the man kisses her cheeks.

Carol close her eyes tightly as she waited for her life to end. She can't believe that she's experiencing this horrible thing again after so many years.

Carol felt a cold breeze on her chest, a sign that the man have already removed the shirt she was wearing and again, all Carol could do is cry silently. She couldn't move anymore because the man tied both of her feet. Will this be the end of her life and career? She's been good, hasn't she? The reason why she took up medicine--doctoring is to save the lives and treat those wo are hurting, but why? Why does this happen to her? Is this the price of her disobedience to her parents? Compensation for destroying the blue prints of his older brother? And her, kissing the guy she just met? If that's the reason, then I guess I deserves it too.

"Shhh...don't make a noise little miss. I'll take it easy and slow, and you'll definitely enjoy it too," The man said, smirking.

The man starts on undressing her while saying those terrible words she doesn't want to hear. How she wish this man died on the spot.

On the other hand, Astaroth is seriously walking towards Carol's condo unit-his best friend Maxon's cousin. The woman has a big debt on him that she needs to pay urgently. A debt that he can't forget and is stock on his head.

Astaroth's slow steps were replaced by running pace, because he heard a loud scream followed by man's loud laughter. And when he reaches the entrance of Carol's condo unit he was engulfed by compassion, fear and intense anger. He's in rage, and he have an urge to kill this man in front of him.

Carol is laying down on the floor, almost naked, tied, gagged and crying silently while a man is lying on top of her. And since the man didn't seem to notice him and his presence, he quietly walked towards the man's--monster's back. His green eyes and Carol's blue eyes met. Carol's eyes were full of fear and begging, it is very different from the reaction he saw when the two of them were on the stream.

Astaroth signaled to Carol to be quiet so that he can do the work.

Astaroth punched the face of the man who insulted Carol...very hard, causing him to fall and roll on the floor. The man didn't get a chance to get up, because he kick it's stomach while clenching his jaw tightly. Astaroth punch the man's face repeatedly until his anger subsided. The man's face is full of blood and it seems lifeless but he doesn't care. He deserves it anyway, but what he truly deserves is to die--in his own two hands.

"Fuck you!" Astaroth shouted at the unconscious man, and punched it again for the last time.

He already turned the man into pulp but he's still not contended, he wants more than just punching.

Astaroth stood up and pulled out the gun he always carry around. He's a royalty and there is always a threat to his life, that's why he has a gun to protect himself.

"Rest in hell bastard," Astaroth said in a serious voice, and just as he was about to pull the trigger when suddenly Carol imagery pops on his mind. He immediately lowered his gun, and heave a sigh as he ruffles his hair.

Astaroth untied Carol's feet and hands, and he also removed the gag on her mouth. He even buttoned her unbuttoned shirt and he tightly embraces Carol without uttering a word.

Astaroth felt Carol's body shaking-is it because she's crying? Or is it because afraid? Whichever of those two the answer is, one thing's for sure it's that man's fault. He badly wants to kill the man but, what matters the most is Carol's condition.

"Shhh...calm down, I'm here...I will protect you," Astaroth said softly, while gently running his warm hands on Carol's back then slightly taps it.

"I-I'm scared, p-please...get me away from here," Carol begged, sobbing.

"I'll take you away from here but you need to calm down. We need to inform the police and your parents okay? Tell me what happened," Astaroth said gently, full of concerns.

"Don't! D-don't tell my parents, it's just nothing...I can do it..." Carol said while panting harshly.

"Okay then, do you want me to kill him?" Astaroth said seriously, while glancing at the culprit's body.

Astaroth's saw fear on Carol's eyes, the moment she laid her eyes to the unconscious and bloody man laying on the ground. He heave a sigh and embraces Carol once again. He can't bare seeing her in pain, he is used on seeing her smile.

"N-no...don't kill him! Put him in jail and put him away from me. I'm so afraid Astaroth...what if you didn't came? I'm definitely dead by now," Carol's lips is quivering.

The calm Astaroth, was once again engulfed with anger. Police? No, thanks. He can handle it himself very well. He's going to make sure that this stupid motherfucker will taste the burning fire of hell.

"Okay. I will, so settle down," Astaroth promised, even though he'll definitely do the opposite.

Carol's sobs becomes softer and softer, until it turns into soft snores making Astaroth chuckle. Astaroth gently carry the sleeping Carol and carefully walked towards his unit which was right next to Carol's unit.

Actually in the whole fifth floor of the building, only the two of them is in here. He's the owner of this building so he has the right to make decisions, and Carol doesn't seem to know that. After all, her mind was all about work and she never once noticed him even though they had been together in the elevator once.

When Astaroth finally arrived on his unit, he gently lay Carol on his bed and after that he quickly moved back to Carol's unit. And once again, his anger arises when he saw the bastard's finger move.

This bastard will surely see hell, and he'll be sorry for messing what's his. No one can laid a hand om his price possession.

But before he tortures the man in front of him, he will first take care of the girl inside his unit. Astaroth dials Jacob's number and the moment he answered. He give him some instructions on what to do and not to do, including-renovation for Carol's condo unit, triple the security and torture the bastard. And because Carol doesn't want her parents to know about it, there is nothing he can do.

He must behave and follow Carol's words if he wants his hard work to be paid off. But he can't keep his good boy attitude for long.
