The whole time Aria didn't cry in front of him intensifying his urge to defile her but remembering his state and pain from his crotch he shouted, "Ahhh"

Aria whose hands were searching for things to hit him got the lavatory hand shower to her hand. As soon as he opened his mouth she shoved into his mouth ignoring how scared she was and wrapped the flexible pipe on his neck before pulling tight to choke him.

​​

She did in mere four or five seconds without giving him time to react and kicked him aside hearing him who couldn't even groan and made murmur sound.

She had entered the room and limped towards the door but...

'Bang'

"Ahhh..." she screamed.

The room door was broke suddenly scaring her thinking others were present and coming inside. Her tears welled up and grabbed the nearest thing in her trembling hands.

As soon as she saw Alan hastily entering inside whose eyes were bloodshot, she dropped the vase and ran into his arms ignoring the pain from her leg.

"Alan..."

Alan wrapped his hands around her, "I'm here... I'm here..."

He could feel her trembling and her teeth were chattering in fright as she cried tightening her hands around him.

Aria had clicked the power button thrice which sends her live location to Alan but the latter took a few minutes late to check due to a work. He had called a country S number and was talking with a managing director looking at the guest room where Aria had gone.

Seeing her not exiting the room even after five minutes, he went ahead to check and saw the balcony door open and there was nobody in the room.

He hung up the call to dial Aria's number but saw her message. Her location wasn't the Miller villa instead it was moving fastly towards the ring road.

He left quickly and tracing the location and called the police in chief asking the backup. He could only get location until the car entered the apartment blocks and it stopped.

When he reached the location there were four twenty-floors apartments and he didn't know which one Aria was in.

Alan's team came fully equipped and cops tried to check the footage, his group flew the drones around the apartments.

Alan's mobile rang showing 'Little President' but it disconnected soon and it was again not reachable making him feel helpless.

It took nearly ten minutes to identify by both the teams to know Aria's location.

His team saw Aria and Toby in the balcony first and Alan was going towards the apartment cops handed him a tab that had video footage of a man pulling the huge trolley bag and going to the seventeenth floor by elevator who was counting the stack of money in the elevator while leaving.

The security guards had confirmed them that they weren't staying in any apartments and they weren't residents.

They broke the main door and room door to see Aria holding the vase towards them as she screamed.

He never thought anything could happen in the state administrative highly secured regency.

The cops took hold of Toby whose nose, the head was bleeding. They had to forcefully remove the hand shower which made him lose a few teeth and started to bleed from the mouth too.

Alan wanted to beat him into the pulp but seeing Aria shivering in his embrace, he didn't leave her.

His team and cops had searched the whole flat. In the room, Aria was in had the camera which was recording the whole incident. Both teams waited for Alan and Aria in the living hall.

Alan gently comforted her for a long time before she unwounded her hands and faced him. Alan saw fingers imprint on her cheek and dried blood drops on her lips and arms from scratch.

He wiped her cheeks gently as he asked in a low voice, "Is it paining?"

Aria hummed pointed her leg, "I can't stand longer." Her voice was barely audible.

Alan frowned looking at her swollen bright red ankle and quickly carried her but Aria tapped his arms to leave her down as her eyes filled up again. Alan made her sit on a chair and patiently asked her, "What happened?"

Aria wanted to say her back was grazed, seeing bloodstain on his right-hand sleeve, she pointed it first, "When I tried to get away, his nail tips had grazed my back." Her voice sounded feeble again.

Alan quickly checked to see three fingers scrape on her delicate skin as he tightened his fist. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Aria shook her head leaning on Alan and sighing thinking that was too close. She understood why Alan had got angry when they ruined Toby's birthday party.

Alan piggybacked her to the car and to hospital leaving the cops hanging asking them to keep everything under wraps. His team collected the original footage from the time Aria entered to the left.

Alan messaged Rowan that Aria would be staying with him for a few days.

After scanning her ankle, giving a blood sample for testing unsure what must have happened. Alan personally disinfected her back and arms before the doctor treated her swollen ankle and instructed them to do cold compress and keep it wrapped in pain relief bandage as her bones and nerves had no problem.

Other than them, Alan didn't let anybody know about the incident. He ordered his team to get to the bottom of the incident.

He took her to his villa and asked her to drop taking a shower due to her wounds before sending her to the bathroom for changing and brushing.

Alan checked the video in the camera which had recorded to see how Aria nimbly handled keeping herself strong. His heart ached greatly watching it.

He called the police in chief who was waiting for Alan's call irrespective of the time which was two at dawn. After hearing the response, "Toby Lewis caught in large-scale drug trafficking or proved to be a member of an illegal armed force or smuggling weapons. Choose whichever you want." All those had a death penalty in country A including molesting underaged girl but he didn't want Aria to visit court or police station.

But the chief was hesitating so Alan's voice turned sinful, "How about I release your black money account details?"

Alan smirked hearing him agree instantly in fear and hung up the call.

Alan helped Aria when she came out and made her drink juice before he laid her on the bed asking her to sleep. He quickly showered and laid down on the bed pulling her to embrace who was still recovering from the incident.
