Chapter 145
Todd clutched his throbbing head, cursing, “Who the fuck are you? I swear, I’ll kill you!
It was just one woman. It was just Suzanne. Why the hell was this turning into such a shitshow!
He barely got to his feet before another brutal punch from Austin sent him crashing right back down.
Todd howled in pain
Austin was ready to hit him again, but before he could, a soft whimper came from the bed.
Suzanne was curled up and trembling uncontrollably. Her body was still bound, so she was unable to move,
Austin’s chest burned with tury. He kicked Todd hard in the ribs, sending him rolling across the floor. He then turned and strode toward her. His voice was low and filled with guilt. “I’m sorry. I got here too late.”
He quickly untied the ropes binding het. Angry red marks covered her pale skin, each one stabbing at his heart.
Murderous rage surged inside him. Even Todd, as scummy as he was, flinched at the sheer bloodlust radiating from Austin.
Without hesitation, Austin pulled off his jacket and wrapped it around her before scooping her into his arms.
Dazed and weak, Suzanne felt the warmth of his embrace while the familiar scent surrounded her. The moment she recognized it, her defenses crumbled. Unconsciously, she murmured in a soft and broken voice, “Austin you finally came………..
Austin’s heart clenched at how fragile she sounded. He held her tighter. “I’m here. You’re safe now.”
Todd, groggy and disoriented, managed to stagger back to his feet. His head was pounding from the repeated hats, but his rage burned hotter. He jabbed a shaking finger at Austin, shouting, “You think you can just walk out of here? No one’s leaving!
Just then, Gabriel rushed in
He had already dealt with the guards outside. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the scene–the blood, the broken furniture, and, most of all, Suzanne tied up on the bed like some plaything
Gabriel’s usually calm expression turned ice–cold. That bastard, Todd, actually thought he could lay his hands on Suzanne?
A deep, unshakable fury Dickered in Gabriel’s eyes. Without a word, he charged at Todd He said, “it’s time to teach you a damn lesson!”
Before Austin could even say a word, Gabriel had already started throwing punches and kicks at Todd. Todd, whose body had long been wrecked by alcohol and indulgence, was no match for him. After all, before working for Austin, Gabriel had been a professional boxer.
“Stop! Stop! Do you even know who I am? Stop hitting me Todd screamed.
But there was no way Gabriel was going to listen. The brutal screams echoing through the room had already drawn a crowd. People were gathering outside, eager to watch the spectacle unfold.
Seline finally managed to catch her breath. She scrambled to her feet and rushed inside, but the moment she saw Todd covered in blood, her whole body froze. She stumbled back two steps and pressed herself against the wall, unable to move. Her tace was deathly pale, drained of all color
Meanwhile, Austin had already carried Suzanne to the door, but he suddenly stopped. His gaze, sharp as a blade, fell on Todd. His voice was icy cold as he said, “Gabriel, since he enjoys playing with women so much, let’s make sure he gets exactly what he wants”
Austin made sure everyone knew the consequences of messing with his wife
“Yes, Mr. Hall,” Gabriel replied. A chilling smirk flickered in his eyes as he kicked the whimpering Todd on the ground. He added, “Enjoy yourself.”
Todd had no idea what they meant, but every instinct in his body screamed that this was bad–very bad.
Panic–stricken, he shouted, “Let me go! I’m the heir of the Lloyd family! If you touch me, I swear you’ll regret—”
Before he could finish, Gabriel picked up one of Todd’s discarded socks and shoved it into his mouth.
Todd‘ 4 eyes widened in horror. He thrashed wildly, trying to break free, but his weak flailing was useless against Gabriel’s grip.
With practiced ease, Gabriel pulled out his phone and made a quick call. Then, his gaze flickered toward the ropes on the bed grabbed them and swiftly tied Todd up, securing
him tight.
Turning around, he noticed Seline was still standing there. His expression darkened. “Do you want to be the first one he plays with?”
That menacing look scared her so badly that she almost burst into tears. Without another word, she bolted for the door, stumbling in her haste.
Not long after she was throws out of the room, she saw several scantily dressed women walking hurriedly toward it.
