Chapter 5 The girls trip

Chapter 5

It wasn't a hussle, as long as there weren't any other manyac. Do you whine on the phone, animal is just? Then there are others who request cash 3x. What do they think of our hotel? Rude!!!

It was already lunch break when I left the telephone area, because someone was already watching over me there. I went to the storage room when I saw Erika in the hallway, she was bowing.

"Hey!" I shouted, it didn't turn to me. He continued walking. I followed her looking, how can that girl trip.

I rubbed his back and just continued walking. I took my packed lunch when I entered the storage room. I went to the nearby kiosks on the beach to eat.

I was surprised that Erika was not sitting there, we always meet and eat here. But why isn't he here? Why doesn't he want to eat with me anymore?, he doesn't want to keep up with me?

I took my phone and called him. It was only a few days ago when I saw her at the entrance of the hotel, crying while a tall man was holding her arm.

I saw a commotion there, even our boss was calming down the man who was furiously hurting Erika.

Without a doubt I stood up and quickly ran towards it, there were already many people surrounding them. Some even took a video so I immediately told them not to take a video.

There are some who follow but, there are some who are stubborn and still make videos.

"Excuse me!" I shouted at the blocker and squeezed my body. "Excuse me," he said, "I even hit a man because he didn't want to pass.

"Please sir, don't hurt Erika" Please talk to our boss. I turned to Erika when I was in front, she was crying and her arms and knees were constantly bruised.

Is that why he was so wrapped up earlier?

Her hair is messy.

"Doesn't he know this girl?" The man screamed, Erika even screamed at the same time the man punched her in the stomach.

I quickly approached them, even though I was starting to tremble. Erika looked at me, her eyes were talking and begging me not to bother.

But as a friend, you can't let him go.

"Let go of Erika" I said weakly but firmly.

The man's startled grin flashed when he looked at me. He looked at me up and down, he judged my work.

I'm still wearing a janitor uniform.

"Who do you think you are?,,, A janitor wants to stop me?" He said laughing.

"And who do you think you are, to hurt my friend?!" I screamed and my tears started to fall, I was ashamed to look around and they were all looking at me.

I felt my boss approach my side and hold my trembling hand. He knows why Erika doesn't want me to get drunk. Because I'm not good enough to stop the trouble.

I'm a janitor after all. The lowest of all.

"I don't know where you got the strength to stop me, look at yourself." The man said laughing again, bowing because of that.

The atmosphere laughed. No one cares about the hurt. No one knows about the trouble.

"I'm Alex Ledezma ----"

"A janitor of this freaking hotel" He shouted, I was even surprised because of that. "And you want me to stop hurting your friend?" As he continued, I quickly looked over there because Erika screamed again because of the pain she was suffering.

"P--please sir" I asked.

I can't bear to see my friend in pain, with blood on his cracked lip from the beating he received.

I just saw this man, and I can't find the reason why he is hurting my friend.

Maybe, he is a customer here in the hotel, then Erika did something bad to him, or maybe it wasn't done properly so he was very angry with Erika.

But that's not enough reason to hurt someone.

"Kneel in front of me first" He said with a smile.

My fist is clenched because of that, no one has ever done this to me.

"Please I'm begging you" I feel a mixture of anger in my voice. I hope he is aware that I am angry. Because I don't want to see people now either.

"Kneel!!!" He shouted.

Erika screamed again.

I walked closer to the man, he was looking at me and I was also looking at him. Tears fell from his eyes.

I saw how Erika stopped me with her eyes.

"A-alex, please don't lower yourself" he said.

I just shook my head, to save you I have to lower myself.

Every time I knelt down slowly, but I was stopped by a scream that reigned around.

We all turned around there.

ALEX POV

We all turned around at the scream.

"Daddy!!!" She exclaimed, her voice was full of fury. He was looking at the man in front of me.

"Son, what are you doing there, stand up!!!" Mother was holding Rhys when he came to her. He held my hand and made me stand up. "I didn't raise you to be bullied, so who are you to humiliate my son in front of you?!" Mom almost slapped the man but I stopped her.

Rhys hugged my knee, making me look at him. It was trembling with fear. Why are they here? What is it doing here?

"We have an arranged marriage, so I'm looking for Erika, and I didn't expect to see her here" The guy explained with anger in his face, he looked at Erika. "And this woman ran away so that our marriage could not go ahead, her parents owe me money, so her life is the price" I saw how Erika's tears flowed and they went straight to floor.

What?

I thought she wanted to work here and enjoy her life?

I didn't know he had a problem. How did she do that? He's good at hiding his feelings. Behind her jolly personality and beautiful face, she is harboring a problem. And I'm not doing anything, even asking if he's okay.

"B--but that can't be a reason for you to hurt him!" My hands were shaking but I still tried to control my emotions.

"Why are you always contrary to my actions? Why?!" Erika quickly fell to the floor after letting go of her and went to me and then pulled me by my hair.

I screamed because of the pain, mom also screamed and Rhys bit the man's legs. He also screamed in pain so he was able to hurt the child as well.

My anger flared when I saw Rhys cry because he fell on the rough floor and that caused his knee to scrape.

I tried to get out of the man's grip but it only hurt me more every time I fought. He still continued to tease me. Then his laughter was audible.

"let me go!!!" I shouted in front of his face.

"I don't like" He said with a smile "That's what I like, the fighter, I want to see you fight in bed." He said then punched my stomach hard. I sat down because of that.

"Daddy!!!" Rhys cried.

"Let go of my son!!!" Mom said emphatically and threw her sling bag at the man.

"Don't you want to save your friend?" He asked.

He forced me to lift my head so he could see my face. Playful smiles were drawn on his face.

"You're too cute, you must be delicious" m4nyakis smelled my leg "It still smells good, I didn't expect your job to be a janitor, but do you want to stop there and I'll just work for you ,,,, or for your son?" He whispered as he started to kiss my neck.

I hate it.

"I don't want you!" I spat in his face, making him wince "And no matter how rich you are, no one will like you!" I said emphatically.

He smiled like a demon, then punched me three times in the stomach. I slowly fell down and bowed to the floor. I coughed and thick blood came out of my mouth.

Everyone screamed. No one even wants to help me. My vision is blurry. And suddenly I woke up when I saw how the man was lifting Rhys. Rhys was also fighting and he was screaming and crying too.

"Marry me,,,, or I'll steal your daughter" He said and came closer to me then he pulled me up and tried to lift me up.

Rhys cried so loud.

I can't fight anymore because I'm getting weak, I held the hands of Rhys and patted his head.

Before I could close my eyes, I saw several men who had just arrived. They were equally surprised to see me.

Archi. so worried

James. anger, especially when he saw the young child crying.

Charlie. shocked

Dylan. shocked

Luke. furious

Wendell. He looked like a demon when he saw my face covered in blood. I saw how the reaction of his eyes changed when he saw the boy from the man's arms.

I looked at Rhys. I smiled bitterly.

You and your daddy have met, son.

"There's your daddy Rhys" I whispered softly, I don't know if anyone heard there.

I'm sorry that you met in this scene.

"Stop him, mister!" Archi shouted, holding James's arm.

let them go" James said calmly.

Everyone looked at them.

"Who are you again?!, ruining the scene oh!" He said it was crazy then let go of Rhys, but his hold on him was tied. Rhys quickly hugged my knee.

"child, go to them, save your life" I said smiling at the crying child. It will traumatize him.

"I,,, I won't dada," he said shaking his head. Tears flowed from my eyes. My daughter is very beautiful.

"Please,,, dada will be okay, for now, you--you better save your life first, hmm?" The tears in my eyes did not stop, seeing my son shaking because of fear, I could not bear to look.

"Amir! Let him go, right, right? I'm the one you need?! This is it, let them go. I'm coming with you" Erika said with difficulty, because her lips parted and she went along his emotions.

She didn't deserve this búllsh1t guy!

"No one will go with him Erika!" I screamed.

"Oh? Why? Because you want to be the one to pay his parents' debt?" I was irritated by his voice. If I can really get out of here.

"Lousy man!" We all looked at the calm man walking towards us, adjusting the folds of his long sleeve. And he stretches out his two arms. As if it was ready to break its head. "Are you going to let go of. , them, or do you want to taste my punch first?" He said arrogantly.

"You're too young, get stronger first" he said.

"Come here, and I'll crumple your face like a paper" Wendell invited the man with his finger. I heard the man snort before letting me go.

I fell to my knees.

Rhys hugged me. I also hugged him right away.

"Are you alright son?" I felt my mother hug me, so I just nodded.

I heard a loud shout before I turned to the two men fighting. Wendell punched the man in the face, but he also punched him. His lips even burst.

The man punched her again so that she fell down, she closed her eyes and seemed to be dizzy from the blow. He opened his eyes, I saw how his gaze passed me and went to Rhys.

He smiled genuinely and widely.

I looked at Rhys, he was also smiling at Wendell, she raised her right hand and she thumps up.

Wendell stood up, stronger and more willing to fight. He clenched his fist and immediately hit the man's nose with the blow he released. In an instant the man fell down and lost consciousness.

"Come on cap!" Charlie shouted.

Everyone shouted for Wendell. The others even bet. Old people!

He smiled widely, then turned his back on the man lying unconscious on the floor.

The security guards also arrived late.

Wendell's every step felt like the world was slowing down, his every smile took my breath away.

Until it came close to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

I didn't answer.

He clapped his hands in front of me. "Alex, there's a lot of blood on your face, come and I'll take you to the hospital" I heard him say.

"It's far from the gut, Wendell, I'm not going to die because of it" I said.

He knelt before Rhys.

oh

No.

"Are you okay baby?" He asked Rhys with a smile.

The boy smiled back.

"Yes,,, you're my hero" Rhys said with difficulty.

The smile on Wendell's lips grew wider. He touched Rhys' cheek and then squeezed it.

"What's your name?" He asked again.

"I'm Rhys?,,, how about you?" Rhys answered and asked.

"What a beautiful name, Rhys" he raised his head and looked at me. "I'm Wendell" He said and stood up.

The security guards talked to him and asked him some things, and they also asked him.

He just heard Rhys laugh as he played with Wendell's knee and leg hair. Wendell was talking to someone but I knew he was tickled by what Rhys had done.

"Yeah, but I don't even know that pr1ck guy" He said and turned to the boy because Rhys was tickling so bad.

Wendell smiled.

"Kulit, you're a naughty boy" he said and then picked up the little boy and kissed it on the neck and cheeks.

You just inherited it, Wendell.

I heard a crackling laugh from Rhys, the only laugh I've ever heard. Just now.

"Ah, I'm tickling" he shouted, he still couldn't stop laughing.

"Are you okay?" Archi asked, they came closer to me.

Meanwhile the five boys were passing Rhys, the boy was very happy.

"Your child?" Archie asked.

I don't know what to answer.

"Yes,,,," Luke, Dylan, Charlie, James and Wendell turned to me at the same time.

I looked at Wendell.

Our son, Mr.
