Chapter 29 - Chapter 29 Let the lady go

Ethan went to his office and Luna came following after him immediately. "Ethan, what was that? You didn't have to do that," she said. "Of course I had to. Such people never change. They shouldn't say things they don't know about." "Yes but I thought that they were just going to be punished. Maybe a suspension or reduction of salaries or something. I think firing them was extreme," she said. "It was really necessary. No one else will talk about it again." Luna could only sigh because it seemed like he wasn't going to change his mind.

In the afternoon, Luna reminded Ethan that he was to go to Golden times agency for an interview. He was going to unveil a new project to the mass so they started with Golden times because it was the largest in Sun City.

The interview ended at eight in the evening so that's when he headed home. As he was driving out of the agency streets, he saw men bullying a woman and she seemed familiar. He recognized her to be Luna's friend so he immediately parked beside the road to help her.

Bella stood outside the agency waiting for a cab and thirty minutes passed by without any coming. She decided to walk and get it ahead maybe. She found three men on her way and as she was bypassing them, one of them pocked her butt and she glared at him unmoving. "What?" he asked her. "What did you just do?" she asked angrily. "What?He was checking if you didn't have implants. What's so special about it?" asked the other. "Don't you know how to respect a woman?" she asked them. "Of course we do. You want us to show you?" asked one of them as he came closer to her licking his lips disgustingly. "Don't touch me," she said as she gritted her teeth stepping backwards. "Or else what?" asked another one. "Or else you will have to face me," said a voice behind them and they turned to see a tall man dressed in a formal suit. He again told them," Let the lady go. That way I may pardon you." They clearly didn't recognize him but Bella immediately did. How couldn't she? That voice and that intoxicating scent. But she was surprised on what he was doing here. "And who do you think you are?" asked one of them.

He secured Bella behind him and removed his coat then handed it to her. He then came towards them saying," Why don't I just show you?" With that, one man came aiming to punch him which he easily avoided then kicked him in his stomach and he fell on the floor clutching it. Bella was moved by his fighting skills and she fell for him even more. A second one also came and Ethan punched him in his face making his nose bleed and he staggered backwards. Ethan could tell that these men didn't have any slight training. When the third one saw this, he got out a small knife and went behind him as Ethan was still dealing with the other. Bella saw this and she shouted to warn him but it was a bit late. The man managed to cut him but before he could deepen it, Ethan turned and broke his wrist bone making him kneel down and wail like a kid. This is when the man got to see his face and he stuttered, "E-Ethan C-carter?" He was surprised that they didn't recognize him from the beginning. "P-please forgive us we didn't recognize you." Now the man knew that they were done for. When the other two heard his name, they immediately ran away leaving him in the clutches of Ethan Carter. Bella came running to his back and saw that the wound was staining his white shirt with blood. Her eyes became moist as she said, " We need to tend to your wound. You're bleeding, I'm so sorry." She couldn't help but blame herself. Ethan made a call and within five minutes, the police had arrived. He told them all that happened and they said," Thank you Mr. Carter for your cooperation. We've been looking for these criminals for cases of rape and theft. We promise that by morning, he will have disclosed his friends' identities and where they are hiding." With that, they took him away.

Ethan and Bella sat in his car but she looked at him with eyes full of worry and on noticing he smirked at her saying," Don't worry about me. This is nothing. I have been at my worst and survived it." "How can I not worry about you? You're injured because of me. You're bleeding," she said. "BTW why do you move all alone in these dark streets? What if I didn't come?" he asked.
