DAMIEN

I could hear the clicking of my shoes against the concrete floor as I made my way towards the enclosure having Lewis inside. Nothing could alleviate the fire burning inside and when my eyes fell on the familiar figure, I found it only intensifies.

My knuckles curled around his collar as I jerked him from the floor, his lips already bruised from the earlier punches along with the darkened purplish print around his eyes.

He looked at me, his eyes held no sorry, or apology, or regret for what he did. He stared back at me with the same intensity, before a smirk played on his lips. “There is nothing to be protective over her. She is already tainted.” My knuckles went white, as I couldn’t stop myself from planting a punch to his nose, and saw the crimson liquid trickling out.

He spat out blood before rubbing the back of his hand over his mouth, a lazy evil smile. “This won’t change anything. She had already been used.” He moved closer to me, and I felt my body racked with disgust to be just near him. “As a whore by me and your other friend.”

My muted anger I was holding back for so long knew no bounds when I threw punches after punches at him, and even the officer didn’t interrupt me, when I kicked his shins, maybe breaking his ankles and knees as well. I didn’t care.

He groaned on the floor, blood covered all around his figure, but I couldn’t find even an ounce of sympathy or regret for that piece of shit. I saw him rolling in pain when the officer called for me. I rolled down my sleeves and walked out.

“Sir, it will be much more appreciable if you will leave this in the hands of the law itself.” I grabbed the watch from inside my pants pocket before wrapping it around my wrist.

“And what guarantee is there he will not bail out with money, or will be given just a minimal of punishment?” I looked back at him, my eyes meeting directly at him in a silent question. To be honest I believe in none of them, and neither on the law.

“I will be a guaranteer of that for you.” His voice held a determination, and experience despite how young he looked. “He will not get any bail under whatever circumstances and neither a mild punishment for this. He will get what he deserves.” Sincerity reflected in his voice.

I didn’t know if to believe him or to take the matter in my hands but with the punches I had thrown at him, I want his next pain not to be just physical but emotional and financial too. He will see nothing but his downfall from now on.

“Molesting and attempting to rape is one of the strongest lawsuit we have against him, and he isn’t going to get away with this any easily.”

I nodded at him, definitely knowing I had to give him up on the hands of law, despite all the power I held, law wasn’t something under my control. We signed and carried out some more paperwork before it was full of fucking evident and everything against him.

My hands itched to have them against him, my inside drawing for his blood and nothing else but death was just too easy for him. Seeing him dying every single day behind the bars, losing his cash and his fame would bring the satisfaction.

After the paperwork, I walked outside and headed for my car when I heard my phone going off. I pulled it out from the pocket of my suit and press it against my ears. “Yes?”

“She has got her consciousness. Come soon.” He hung up immediately and I rushed to get into the car and push the keys to relive the engine before I was driving on the road.

My hands felt sweaty, my heart thumping against the chest with full force, and the same trepidation settled in. By the time it I made to her room corridor, a part of me was scared. Scared to see how she would react.

And that thought seemed to prove itself more when I heard loud shouting and shuffling near her room. I was quick to push open the door and what I saw made something break inside me.

Lilah was sprawled on the bed with two nurses grabbing her hands when she was thrashing her arms with full force. Her hair flying in all direction when she shook her head to get out of their hold.

Her eyes brimming with tears before a big drop slid down her cheek breaking my inside into thousand pieces. Her little button nose was red, her moistened forehead glistened under the room light, while her beautiful chestnut hair was in a wild mess. She got out of their hold and settled in one corner, hands wrapped around her knees as she married her face half in them. When they began to go near her, she only pushed herself more against the wall and wrapped herself more towards her chest.

I gulped down the lump in my throat and walked inside. Hoping it was just something with the injection she was scared to get. “Why are you grabbing her like that?” My eyebrows furrowed as I made my way towards her.

That seemed to get her attention who was busy in there hiding and I saw how her big for eyes widened seeing me, her head peeking up from between her knees, before I saw her hold against her knees loosening. Her already wet cheeks was again streaking with new ones.

I walked further towards her, and was almost slammed down on the floor with how much force she lunged at me, grabbing my shirt in her tight fist. Her head planted against my chest burrowing herself more, her small petite figure curling up against me trying to hide in a cocoon.

I couldn’t stop my arms from going around her, my fingers digging into her hair, running through them. She sniffled against my shirt, and didn’t say anything. I looked up at the two nurse and saw them sharing a look before they spoke.

“She wouldn’t listen to us. Since her eyes opened she had been wild and violent just like that.” She pointed at her who was stuck to me like a second skin, so quite and delicate. I shook my head at them, feeling the anger inside me.
