Ethan Keane's POV-
I was so angry that I didn't even realise when she woke up. She looked so tired , ready to faint anytime. I walked towards her in hurry , I needed to make sure she was okay.
"You okay, sunshine?"
I asked looking deep into her eyes , trying to find the comfort or that one glance which could assure me that she wasn't assaulted. I had plans about her , but those didn't include her getting assualted , by someone else or me!
Some tears made their way from her eyes as she pulled me towards her by my collar.
"They t-to-touched me!"
Her voice cracked up as she herself again realised she was assaulted.
"Do you feel any kind of p-pain?"
My voice cracked up too , I didn't want to hear something serious and the chances that I might get to hear them cracked my voice more.
"Yeah , here."
She pointed towards her shoulders to wrists.
Fuck! I wasn't not going to let them go easily!
"Who was it , baby?"
She nodded her head in no while sobbing hard.
"Say the fucking name , Bella!"
She sobbed more while Christian came forward.
"She doesn't look like in the state of talking. Let's leave he-"
I showed my hand towards him , letting him know that he didn't need to fucking tell me what to do.
"Can we talk , Mr.Keane?"
One female cop asked.
"Give her 5 minutes , she's gonna split out the name."
I stood up , on my way to get some hot drink for her.
Isabella Clarke's POV-
My body shaked more and more as I realised how much bad of a situation I was into. I looked around me trying to find the man , for whom I was here.
"Bella."
I heard a voice behind me as Ethan handed me a mug of hot chocolate.
"Chris , blanket."
He ordered looking at Christian who looked at me with pathetic eyes. He came forward to wrap the thing around me when Ethan took it from his hands and wrapped it around me.
"Who did this , babe?"
Ethan hugged me from a side and whispered the question into my ear. The sudden peace took over me as I let a deep breath.
"This is gonna be okay , soon. Just co-operate."
He whispered again.
"Who?"
The flash of someone scratching my shoulders sharp hit into my brain. It was alot to take.
"R-r--"
I kept trying to from the word while my voice didn't support. I could hear my own heartbeat while Ethan rubbed my back.
"Ryan."
I closed my eyes as some of my tears made their way. My chest hurt to take the fact.
"I'll come back soon."
Ethan said without any kind of emotion as he made his way towards the exit along with the cops.
"Bella."
I heard my voice , this one sounded deep.
"Christian?"
I looked up at him. He sat down finally beside me and looked at anywhere but my eyes.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed."
"It's okay."
I did the formality. The pain in his eyes actually showed how much guilt he felt. Whereas , he didn't even had a reason for being guilty.
"I'm never able to save the woman I want to."
He whispered , but it was enough for me to hear. I kept looking at him while he bowed his head down.

"Dad , I want that fucking guy to rot in jail."
Ethan roared in his phone. His dad was a strong political person and it wasn't tough for him to make sure whatever Ethan wanted would happen. I was at his house at that time. I looked around once again. His room was huge , it had luxury in here , but it lacked some woman's touch. His parents used to be away from home mostly and he didn't usually used come back here after the nights he used to spent in his parties. I told him alot of times that I could go back to the flat I rented, but deep down inside we both knew that my body and mind weren't capable of being alone at that moment. So , he took me to his home , more to say house , as the love 'homes' had in them wasn't present in this one.
I looked at the big designer wall , a big photo frame hanging in it.
Rich people and their narcissism.
"Do you want something?"
The man was finally free and sat beside me.
"It's just-"
I stopped for a second feeling shy.
"What?"
He looked at the direction where my hands were rubbing on my tummy.
"Actually-"
I stopped again.
"Did you get your periods?"
He asked with big narrowed eyes.
What the fuck!
"No wtf! I'm hungry."
He slapped his own forehead and sighed.
"Why didn't you just say that at first?"
"I felt shy."
I said while my cheeks became tinted red.
"As you know , I'm not that shitty prince charming who knows how to cook, so the only option available is ordering online. What do you want?"
I giggled lightly,
"Pasta? Creamy n cheesy."
"Done."
He sat beside me as we waited for our food to come.
"Wanna watch something?"
"Yeasshhh , pleaseee!!! Annabelle!"
I almost shouted near his ear.
"Heh , I don't watch those boring childish things."
"Pleaseeee."
I requested making puppy face.
"Haven't you already watched it more than 20 times?"
I didn't reply as I snatched the remote from his hands and played the first movie from the Annabelle series.
_______
The first hour went and I was already curled up into Ethan while he looked like he was watching some comedy film. Our dinner was already done and we were inside his comfortable duvet . I had already changed into a pair of his tshirt and boxer.
"Fuck!"
I screamed hiding my face in his chest as Annabelle's bloody face was shown on the screen.
"This scares you?"
He asked , in a low chuckling voice.
"Obviously , I'm a normal human being."
I replied still with closed eyes.
"Okay , we're done with the movies."
He said as he snatched the remote from my hands and turned off the TV.
"Hey ,nooo!!"
I whined like a baby while his face said that he didn't give a fuck.
Rude!
"Sleep , Bella! It's almost midnight!"
"I'm not sleepy."
I told him the fact.
"Who told you that you need to be sleepy."
He replied while laying beside me. The sudden feminine shyness made my cheeks red as I realized we were going to sleep on the same bed. He closed his while I kept looking at him.
"Sleep."
He ordered with close eyes and I tried obeying. His presence gave me sudden peace as I knew I was safe on this one bed.
I was falling for the man.
