Chapter 2728
The pain caused Dennis to push Leah away. Looking at the pen in her hand, he laughed grimly and said, “I can’t believe that you have a pen on you, but it doesn’t matter anymore.”
He opened up the drawer and took a pair of handcuffs out. “Since you want to do it the hard way, I’ll give you what you want.”
Leah was shocked.
‘I can’t let him handcuff me!‘
She grabbed the lamp and ashtray on the table and threw them at him, greatly enraging Dennis. He marched toward her and pinned her on the bed before putting the handcuff on her wrist.
Leah shouted at the top of her lungs for help and kept looking at the door.
“Why are they not coming yet? Did she abandon me?‘
Leah trembled when her skin was exposed to the air, and a hint of fear crossed her eyes. Dennis‘ face was contorted with rage as he gazed at the feast underneath him like a lion looking at its prey, preparing to devour her whole.
A strong urge of disgust rushed over her, and Leah ignored the pain from the iron scraping against her wrists as she fought back with all her might. “Dennis, you son of a b*tch. Stay away from me. Otherwise, I’ll make you die a horrible death!”
Dennis sneered. “Really? How are you going to do that?”
“No!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open from the outside, and a group of cops rushed into the room, followed by Aina, Morrison, and Damon.
When Morrison saw what Dennis was doing to Leah, his pupils constricted. He threw himself at Dennis and knocked him to the floor with a punch. “Get away from her!”
The cops and Damon quickly came forward to pull him away. Dennis was pinned on the floor by the cops,
and he raised his head to glare at Aina.
“How dare you do this to me!?”
Aina trembled and lowered her head.
After Leah was freed from the handcuff, she threw herself into Morrison’s arms, her body shaking
profusely.
In the end, the cops took Dennis away. As the witness, Aina had to go to the police station as well. Damon and his men followed her, worried that Dennis would harm Aina again.
Morrison took off his jacket and draped it over Leah. Suddenly, Leah cried, “I thought you guys weren’t
coming anymore…”
”
She had assumed she was going to get destroyed by Dennis.
Morrison set his jaw tightly. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, “What the hell were you thinking!? How could you put yourself in such a dangerous situation? What if Aina didn’t inform us?
How were you going to escape from Dennis then?”
Leah grabbed tightly at the jacket and fell silent.
In fact, she was taking a bet as well. She did not know whether Aina was lying to her or not.
If Aina had lied to her, she would deserve everything that happened to her, but in the end, she made the right decision to trust Aina.
Morrison carried her up from the floor and exited the room. He brought her back to her apartment and placed her on the bed. “You should get some rest.”
“Don’t go.” Leah grabbed his hand.
Initially, Morrison was planning to go to the police station, but it now seemed to him that Leah was still afraid. He pressed his lips thin and stood as stiff as a ramrod.
Leah grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly and said, “I’m sorry. I’ve overestimated myself.”
Morrison did not say anything. After a long while, he sat at the side of the bed and said, his voice filled with anger, “I thought you didn’t know about that? Even if you wanted to help Aina, you should have discussed it with all of us first instead of putting yourself in danger. Are you aware of how risky your actions were? If something went wrong, you would’ve been…”
Leah lowered her head.
Morrison took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t blaming you.”
“It’s okay.” Leah said, “You’re right. But I can bear any consequences myself. Even if Aina lied to me, I’d do whatever I could to get him into prison. Even if it’s…”
Morrison grabbed her into his arms and said, “Alright, shut it. Stop making these assumptions. Just promise me that you won’t do the same thing again next time.”
