Chapter 13 - Chapter 12

"James!" I shouted when he was licking and biting my neck. Nick stopped when he heard me taking another man's name and looked at me with cold, murderous and hard stare.

By looking at him I was certain that The worst is about to come.

He held my neck in tight grip to the extent that I started choking. I couldn't breath. He was trying to kill me. So sad that this was going to be the end of my dear life. I knew the fact that my life didn't give me happiness but I was still thankful of Almighty for everything. But this couldn't end more horrible.

I was thrashing against his hold. His grip on my neck was increasing that I started seeing black dots in front of me. I was certain that I was going to die today. How helpless I'm in front of this monster.

He left me when my eyes were about to close. I fell on the ground with thud. I started breathing in gulps. How easily we take breathing for granted. How horrible it would be for those who breathe through ventilators.

How we, human beings take little blessings of life for granted?

As soon as my breathing got normal, I realised that he was looking down at me with red and murderous eyes. He started approaching me like a predator who wants to dissect its prey.

"Who's James?" He growled. James? He's getting angry because I took another man's name?

I started getting back. I was so afraid of him that I couldn't reply him. He was seething his teeth which was proving that my silence was getting on his nerves.

He in a swift movement yanked me upwards by my hair and slammed me on wall. Ouch! My back hurts!

I felt pained profusely through out my body. He attacked my neck and bit there like he was a vampire.

I shouted in pain. My body was in so much pain. He was piercing his teeth in my neck. He was punishing me now that I took another man's name. I was pushing at his chest but it was all in vain because he was so huge and strong against me.

He held my hair in steel like grip. My whole scalp was on fire. His other hand was keeping me firm against the wall.

"I asked you a question! Who is James?!" He screamed on top of his lungs. I closed my eyes because his eyes were terrifying me. My cheeks had already turned blazing red. I struggled to absorb what was he just saying.

"Ja-James..is.." he held my jaw tightly in his hand that it was impossible for me to speak.

"What!? Is he your boyfriend!? That's why you're not submitting to me? Are you in relation with him?! Don't tell me that you are sleeping with him!" He yelled at my face. His face was giving chills to my spine. He had lost his mind and he was definitely not in his senses.

I gasped and pulled against him with all my strength. He tugged me back harshly and I collapsed in his hold as he wrapped his arms around me. He pinned my arms to my side. I kicked and wiggles against him once again. Fighting his grip as my legs flailed out in front of me in distress when he pulled me up off the ground.

"Enough!" Nick boomed in my ear and I shrinked away from the loudness, from him.

He was eyeing me from head to toe and I started having bad feeling. My chest was moving heavily and I could hear the pounding of my heart. My heart was accelerating with such a high pace that even Nick could hear it.

I was about to move away from him when he started removing my clothes. I was thrashing against his hold. I couldn't let him take the only thing that I'm left with.

He slapped me tightly and harshly when I bit his hand to bled. I fell on ground and I made a dash but he held my ankle and growled loudly. I knew that I've made him more angry. And an angry Nick is never a good signal.

In a swift movement, he shoved me on his shoulders and threw me on ground and hovered over me. He was trying to remove my top which was already torn by him.

This was it. I was going to be raped. I would be a tainted girl for my whole life.

I closed my eyes to accept what was coming with heavy heart when Nick was harshly pulled off my body. The other man in swift movement gave a punch to his face and Nick fell to the corner of the room.

I gasped and looked at him. There in front of me stood the person that I never expected to see: James, looking like a Greek God.

He came and held my shoulders with his hands and looked at me with worried expression.

James came to rescue me? James? Is this truth? Does God really loves me that he sent one of his human being to save me? Am I worthy of the love of Almighty?

"Alice!" James raised his voice to pull me out of my trance.

Was he speaking to me? And what I was seeing in his eyes? I was confused. I was seeing everything on his face but hatred.

I hugged him. I was shocked that I did but it was involuntary. I was shaken. I started crying loudly. Nick could have raped me and worse he could have killed me. I had no one who would have come to even search about me. I was hugging him like my life was dependent on him. And it was truth, he was my savior. James was my savior. He must have been thinking that I'm a clingy girl.

He broke the hug and looked at my face which was filled with bruises. In fact my whole body was covered with bruises that Nick gave me.

"Are you okay? Did he do..do that?" He stammered but I knew that what he was asking.

"I am okay. He intended to rape me and worse he was going to kill me." I sobbed. "But-But you came James, you came to save me." I hiccuped and hugged him again.

I wanted support. I wanted someone to say that it's all going to be okay. In any other situation, I would have never hugged James but right now he was my savior. He saved me from being raped.

He was struggling to hug me back. I knew he hated me and I didn't want to make him uncomfortable so I broke the hug and took few steps back. He averted his eyes because my top was torn. I tried to cover myself.

God! I couldn't be more embarrassed!

He was about to say something but Nick hit him on his back by a rod. I gasped and yelped in surprise. Nick was here! How could we forget him?

James stumbled back and Nick was about to hit him again but James tackled the hit and threw the rod at side and gave a strong punch to his face and his stomach. Nick stumbled and then fell on the ground. He coughed and I saw blood on the side of his face.

"Who are you?!" Nick yelled even though he was injured.

"Haven't you recognized me? I'm Your doom!" James yelled back angrily and forced him to stand and punched his gut that Nick again fell on the ground. He was grunting with pain.

Nick was so weak against James. James was well built as compare to Nick who was looking short against his 6'4 ft.

My ribs were paining a lot. My knees lost all their strength and buckled under my weight. I had to hold the chair beside me in which I was caged few minutes ago to support myself into standing.

James came to support me and held my arms in grip. I felt goosebumps around my body from his touch. This was the first time that he was being gentle with me. And maybe it's the last time too. He was uncomfortable around me because I was his fiancé's killer.

"Thank you." I whispered. It was barely audible however he heard it. He nodded and made me sit.

I don't know from where Nick came, he punched James very harshly at his back. James stiffened and turned around. Before he could react, Nick slammed him against wall and hit the side of his face.

"So you're James! The one that she's been calling around lately for help!" Nick yelled at his face and threw a punch at James' face.

"You're her boyfriend, right? But she's mine not yours." He shouted like a maniac. "I won't let you take her before me."

I was scared that Nick might hurt James in worst of ways. James was bit taken back at what Nick said. Even I was shocked when he called James as my boyfriend. Where the hell all this is coming from?

"You touch her and I'll kill you!" James voice boomed in the cell and I as well as Nick both got shocked.

My body felt tingles which I have never encountered. Is this how we are supposed to feel when someone take cares about us? I turned crimson red. I felt happiness after a long time. The fire that was burning me and my hopes was getting extinguished.

I felt ping of hurt when I realized that there is no one to even think about me not even my own mother.

James threw multiples punches at his face and stomach. Nick was covered with sweat and blood. I hope he die and rot in hell.

James turned and approached me steadily. He removed his jacket and gave it to me. I immediately took it and wore it. It was warm and I smelled a strong Cologne just like James.

He held my wrist and took me out of that area. There was all dark outside and I was stumbling again and again. I didn't understand how he was even looking around in this dark.

I was unable to follow his long strides and my foot stumbled with a rock. I was about to fall but a strong pair of arms held me by my waist before I could make it to the ground.

I already closed my eyes in terror but after a few seconds I didn't feel ground beneath me. Was I in air?

I slowly opened my eyes to meet his. His eyes were really beautiful, honey colored with brown radial lines. This was the first time that I was seeing something else in his eyes, other than the usual rage and hatred for me.

Slowly he carried me in his arms like bridal style. I was totally oblivion of the wounds that I have on my body though my wounds were burning and I was in such pain. But this eye contact made me forget everything.

Once again James caged me in his strong arms.

Finally James felt something for Alice other than the usual hate and Nick got what he deserved.
