"Never mind. It was common gossip that he once dated countless women. I knew this before too." Daisy stated indifferently as she looked up at the neon lights, staring blankly at the sky.
"Daisy, that's not true. You must have read them in papers, but Edward really was not a playboy. These were all false accusations. Please don't be mad at him, otherwise, he would blame me for it." Leena immediately explained, but Daisy didn't take it seriously. She bit her lower lip, falling into a depression.
"I'm not mad at him. Let bygones be bygones. I won't bother him with that." Daisy patted her shoulder to comfort her and gave her a friendly, reassuring smile.
"Great! If you get mad at Edward because of me, he will absolutely kill me!" Leena made a face and stuck out her tongue at Daisy.
"Rest assured. Edward dotes on you. He will never ever blame you for anything." Daisy pulled Leena back to avoid a speeding car.
"Well, he used to dote on me. But now, you are the person he loves the most. He has never cared about some woman like that, you are the first one." They chatted while wandering on the streets. Their pretty faces and Daisy's military uniform did attract a lot of attention.
"Leena, no matter how much he loves me now, you will always be his beloved sister. There is no two ways about it. So, please don't be sad."
The first time Daisy saw Leena, she could see how much Edward cared about her. She remembered that she got jealous of Leena too at that time. But now she knew that Edward treated Leena as his own sister.
"Come on, Daisy. I just want you to dote on me." Leena swung Daisy's arm and acted like a spoilt child, looking rather adorable.
"If I didn't dote on you, I wouldn't have found the time to have dinner with you. Come on! Be contented!" Daisy rubbed Leena's nose, feigning anger. But the affection in her eyes revealed her true feelings for Leena. In her eyes, Leena was a loving sister. She was also her best friend now. Every time she saw Leena's sweet smile, her heart softened and she couldn't help but let out a sincere smile.
"Ouch! That hurts, Daisy. I'm sure you don't love me! My heart just broke." Leena pursed her lips grumbling. She knew Daisy liked her childish behavior, and she didn't mind acting like a child to amuse Daisy.
"You are so delicate. If you were my soldier, I would train you hard!" Daisy made a joke. Leena had a good laugh. Whenever she hung out with Leena, she always felt joyful.
"Daisy, look! Isn't she the woman we saw at the restaurant just now?" The uproar happening at a distance attracted Leena's attention. She ignored Daisy's teasing and immediately stared at the woman.
"Which woman..." Before Daisy could finish her sentence, she saw several men dragging Mary towards a club. This was when she realized that she and Leena had left the downtown and reached some remote place. This place also belonged to the commercial area, but it looked much more desolate than those busy streets.
"Daisy, shall we go there and help her?" Leena asked with a worried look as Daisy's face soured at the scene.
"No! You leave now, and I'm going there alone." Daisy bit her lower lip and wondered, 'What is wrong with Mary? She was with them at the Westin Western Restaurant. How did she come here so soon? And who are those men?' They all looked weird to Daisy. Obviously, they were not some ordinary men.
"I can't leave all by myself. There are so many bad guys here. Let's call the police." Leena grabbed Daisy's arm, in an attempt to pull her back. If Daisy got hurt, Edward would blame her for not stopping Daisy from putting herself in danger. It was she who invited Daisy for dinner, so she must ensure that Daisy reached back home safe.
Relax! I'm a soldier. It's a piece of cake for me to knock down those thugs. Just listen to me and go back home. Otherwise, I would be distracted." Daisy patted Leena's shoulder and instructed her to be careful. Then she trotted towards them.
Let go of me! I'm not... going with you... I won't have sex with you... I beg you, please let me go!" Daisy could hear Mary's imploring all the way. Mary struggled hard trying to get away from them. Her face was flushed and her hair seemed disordered. She was not that arrogant woman from the restaurant anymore. She looked anxious and scared.
"Hah! It's not up to you! Bitch! You'd better come with us. Otherwise, you'll be sorry." A man pulled Mary back heavily. She staggered and hit a car, wincing in pain.
"NO! We had a deal and I only have to be your drinking partner. I'm not a hooker!" The idea that she might be raped by these men scared her. She immediately recalled the scene of being raped by Hero's followers. She knew she wouldn't be able to handle that disgust all over again.
"Don't be so naive! Men come here only for fun. Have you ever seen a man who doesn't want to have sex?" Hearing Mary's words, the men laughed out loud as if she told them some funny joke.
"I beg you please. I am on my period. I'll find you some girls, okay?" Mary regretted deeply. If she knew what would happen, she would not have accepted their invitation to have a drink with them.
"We don't want other girls. We just want you. So stop throwing a tantrum and come with us. Otherwise, I will show no mercy." A man bent over, looked down at her and rubbed her big boobs with his large hand. Then he raised her chin and looked at her in the eye, trying to kiss her lips.
"HELP! Daisy, help me..." At this moment, Mary saw Daisy running towards her. She immediately cried out loud for help, overlooking how rude she had been to her in the restaurant.
"Wow! A female soldier! Are you feeling alone in the military camp? Are you out for some fun too? Let us satisfy you, huh?" A man whistled when he looked at Daisy from top to bottom with his dirty eyes.
"You will never be able to satisfy me. So, you'd better let her go. Otherwise, you'll end up in the hospital." Daisy narrowed her eyes, staring coldly at the men around her. She didn't take them seriously as she believed she could knock them out easily.
Hah! Bros, listen to her, she said we will not be able to satisfy her. It must be exciting to play with a soldier. I now have an itch to have a wild sex with her right away. A man reach out his hand towards Daisy's pink cheek. She dodge and grabbed his hand, breaking off his wrist. Ouch! The man couldn't help but howlas he experienced sharp pain in his wrist. All of this happened in a fraction of few seconds. Daisy stood still and seemed relaxed. In her eyes, these people meant nothing to her. After all, she was a tough woman, who had trained in martial arts.
