Alex felt his heart shatter as he listened to Stella and watched her sob in his arms.
'Who? Who could this person be that had the guts to hurt an angel?' Alex's expression turned from calm and deeply concerned to frigid and dangerous as he pictured the face of the unknown man who violated Stella.
His mind painted an image of her being abused and crying for help with no one to rescue her and this further aggravated his fury.
Even though he was desperate to know at least the name of the person who abused her, he decided to respect her wish of not probing further, while hoping that one day, she would accidentally spill the name to his hearing and he would bring justice to her.
"Stella, I'm deeply honoured that you chose to share this sensitive information with me and I'm very sorry that you had to go through this pain all alone. How I wish I was there to protect you from that bastard that dare to lay his filthy hands on a precious soul like you."
