He groaned in pain as blood seeped out of the corner of his head, she then pushed him off her and tried to escape the room she desperately tried to run into thinking it will be her shelter, she had already reached the end of the stairs but she didn't expect that he will grab one of the shards of the glass and follow after her.

He pulled her back then he stabbed the shard into her abdomen.

​​

"Aah...." she winced in pain after which he pulled her back to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Han Chen who was already close to the apartment raced to the apartment but seeing that the door to her apartment is locked, he quickly phoned the managing director to get someone to bring the master card to the apartment.

He ran his hands through his hair in frustration, he could feel his heart about to explode not knowing what happened to her but he could tell she is really in danger because the Yu Yan he knows will never sound so weak and helpless.

He bit his finger anxiously before giving another threatening call to the managing director who quickly phoned those in charge to deliver it before the chairman loses his mind.

His head was filled with all sort of imaginations of what is happening inside there, he wondered what state he is going to meet her in or what happened to her to cause her to sound so scared.

Knowing their lives are on the line, one of the staffs arrived with the master card to the apartment then stupidly left, he quickly opened the apartment then rushed inside, the condition of the apartment looked normal except for few misplaced items in the living room.

"Yu Yan!" he shouted but he didn't hear any response, he ran towards her bedroom but gasped when he reached the stairs.

His heart skipped a beat glancing at the dark red liquid on the ground in pints, he fluttered his lashed nervously as he kneeled to touch the liquid but then he realized it is indeed blood but whose blood? even with the answer very obvious, he wished he is wrong.

Following the traces of blood, he got to her room. He pushed the unlocked door open only to see pints of blood on the ground and two figures on the bed.

"Yu Yan..." he called softly.

Zhang Wei immediately turned with his eyes widened, he quickly climbed from her body then he held one of the shards threateningly at Han Chen.

His breath hung at his throat seeing her bloodied body on the bed then he glanced at the beast standing away from him, he just couldn't believe that he still tried to rape her even after putting her in the condition.

"Very good, you are that guy that was with her," they rushed towards each other, he waved the shards to cut him but Han Chen bent his hand then punched him on his face, he sat on top of him and rained punches on his face, giving the other no chance to recover before landing him another.

His face became bloodied but it still couldn't satisfy his rage, he needed to do something more, something that will amount to what he did to Yu Yan but he just can't think of it except for killing him.

He stood up from him and grabbed the shard of glass which he dropped then he stabbed it into his palm making Zhang Wei scream in pain.

He removed the shard and stabbed his hands continuously making the other continually scream as his blood stained the ground, not knowing what else to do to save himself from this raging cold-hearted person, he held his hand up with the other hand but Han Chen sent another punch across his bloodied face.

"Stop!" Zhang Wei screamed but Han Chen didn't bother stopping, all he can think of is torturing him now then killing him in the most agonising way possible.

"You had better go to her, she will soon die!" he shouted, knowing that will surely distract Han Chen and as expected it did, he used the chance to push him away then he ran out of the room, Han Chen was about to chase after him when he realized that Yu Yan is indeed slowly losing her consciousness.

He rushed towards the bed and held her in his arms with her half-closed eyes still producing tears.

"Yu Yan, stay with me...please," he brought out his phone from his pocket then he quickly dialled an ambulance but she held his hand, with her lips moving inaudibly.

He leaned in to hear what she is saying.

"I-I don't w-want anyone to k-know about t-this..." she muttered.

His heart wrenched looking at her, if not exactly the exact same pain she feels, the pain he feels seeing the woman he loves is more than the person she herself feels.

He pulled her closer to his chest then he wiped away the blood at the side of her lips, she smiled faintly while making an attempt to hold his hand.

"I knew you were going to save me..." everything in her sight turned dark.

- - - - - - -

"No no no no, please..." she shook her head frantically in an attempt to shake away the nightmare she hopes will forever remain a nightmare.

Her body wriggled on the bed as though she is trying to free herself from someone, he entered the room only to see her forehead creased in the precipitate and her face scrunched, he immediately rushed to her side then hugged her while patting her hair gently.

"It's alright, I'm here," he repeated as he drew her closer to his chest.

She slowly opened her eyes then raised her gaze to glance at the man whose embrace soothed her mind.

As soon as their eyes met, the tears started falling uncontrollably, he didn't know what to do since he has never had such an experience but his heart aches for her.

She suddenly started crying aloud then she wrapped her arms around his waist with her head buried in his chest, wetting his sweatshirt with her salty tears, he patted her back reassuringly hoping it will reassure her that she is safe with him.

"It was all a nightmare right, that disgusting bastard didn't..." she couldn't bring herself to say it, the level of shame and disgust she feels is nothing like she has ever felt.

He raised her head gently to look into her eyes but she averted his gaze, she doesn't want to see the look in his eyes for fear that he might really be appalled by her.

He sighed then raised her chin to force her to look at him.

"I am sorry for coming late and you don't have to feel ashamed in front of me, my feelings for you will never change because of this and you can be reassured cos he didn't go too far..." he didn't want to use the word.

She lowered her lids causing the tears to troll down her cheeks. He raised his thumb and wiped her tears with a gentle and affectionate feel.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him again, that was when she became aware of her surrounding.

The room they are in looks luxuriously decorated in cool hues and too extravagant, the medical equipment and everything she should have to get the right treatment is all there in the room, then she realised she also has a drip connected to her.

She concluded that he must have brought her to his mansion, she has so many questions to ask him but she suppressed them, to her it is already good enough that he is not appalled by her even if he is just feigning it.

"Don't worry, I made sure no one knows if it including Jia Yu and as for Zhang Wei you can tell me how you want to punish him but if you trust me then leave him to me," the end tone sounded so evil and dangerous that she wondered what he would do to him if she really leaves his punishment in his hand, it brought her mind back to when she heard Zhang Wei screaming but she couldn't see what Han Chen did to him.

"I will leave it to you," she muttered then tightened her grip on his waist.

His eyes turned dark, he just can't wait to get his hands on the bastard who dared to traumatise his woman.

In Jia Yu's apartment.

She is watching television with Ji Chen holding her in his embrace and a large bowl of popcorn between them.

As they were watching the movie she was recounting what happened with Han Li but she didn't tell him about Han Chen two identities he doesn't know about even though she really hates lying to him.

"Seems like your brother really likes to complicate things when he could just solve the problem with a simple conversation," he remarked as he fed her the popcorn.
