Chapter 90 - Trauma

Victoria watched as he struggled on removing his pants. When he put down the gun, she quickly kicked the man's crotch. Jacob growled and pointed the gun at her. She thought that she's going to die at that moment. But an unexpected female grabbed Jacob's wrist pointing it up. He carelessly pulled the trigger. The girl was taller than her and Jacob, she punched him straight to the nose. 

A man pulled her up and took her away from the scenario. Jacob couldn't fight because he heard his bones on his right arm dislocate as he let go of the gun. The girl kneed the gun up and kicked it away. She twisted his arms to his back, kneeling on it, and put the cuff on. 

"How's Madam?" The strange cool woman asked his partner. 

"You aren't hurt anywhere?" The bulky man asked. Victoria shook her head but still, she's shaking. "She's still in shock." The man answered her. "Don't worry, Ma'am. Your husband will be here any minute." 

Victoria nodded as she sat on the bench and hugged herself, still shaking. She looked at the dirty Jacob. Blood kept on running down his nose and the man who helped her opened the gate as the roving guard of their subdivision started taking notes on what happened. She just felt stupid for letting the door open. She sniffled and wiped her snots and tears. She never expected this to happen. 

Although she feels safe whenever she comes out of the house, she still feels that someone is watching her. But this time, she wanted to beat Jacob so much. She wanted to kill him. 

"How about water ma'am?" The man asked and she shook her head. "We'll just wait for Master Kenzo to be here." 

Her mind is already messed up and she was confused about why they call Kenzo a Master. She fixed her thick long robe as she nibbled on her lips. She doesn't know how long it was but she's still shaking and she couldn't even speak to the roving guard of the subdivision. Until the female who saved her sat with her and asked her questions. She started stammering about what happened until she heard a siren and the sounds of motorbikes. 

Police? She thought. But the man who entered caught her eyes. She stood quickly. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Kenzo took big steps and scooped her face. His eyes darkened and she wrapped her arms around him and cried louder. She felt his kiss on the top of her head. He gently pushed her and wiped her tears. 

"It's alright." He mumbled and he approached the tied-up man. 

Kenzo's bodyguard held him and made him stand. Kenzo stared at the man's face. He was only punched on the nose but he's not satisfied with that. Kenzo punched his stomach hard as Jacob groaned. His whole energy has been taken. He punched him again and he stepped back. They let go of the man as Jacob coughed and nearly vomited but nothing came out. 

"Which part did he touch her with?" He asked the female bodyguard. 

"Sir, he slapped her and punched her stomach." 

"Oh," Kenzo's cold glare makes Jacob shudder. They made him stand again as he punched him, this time it was harder than the two punches he released. The man froze and couldn't move and Kenzo slapped both of his cheeks. 

"Kenzo, that's enough." Victoria pulled his sleeve. Kenzo turned to her and it's the first time that she saw him with that cold murderous gaze. His eyes softened toward her and he smiled a little. 

"Hey, baby. Let's go inside. Shall we?" He gently carried her back inside and stopped before opening the door. "You know what to do." He told his men coldly. 

"Yes, sir." 

He put her on the sofa and scooped her face. Then he caressed her right swollen cheeks. 

"Where does it hurt?" He asked. She started crying hard again. She didn't know where it hurts because she's too shaken from what happened. Kenzo sat with her and removed his coat. He then hugged her. 

"Don't leave. Okay?" She said as she hiccuped. 

"Does your stomach hurt?" He asked. She nodded and hugged him. 

"Don't leave…" She sobbed. Kenzo felt bad for leaving her alone in the house. She's still shaking from what happened. 

"Love," he scooped her face. "Calm down. Let me get you water." 

She held his hands tightly. 

"You are thirsty. You have shed tears for a long time now. You need to hydrate." He wiped her tears. 

Kenzo pulled her up and carried her to the kitchen. He made her sit on the stool while he poured water on the glass. He gave it to her as she sipped on it. 

"Drink more." He said softly as he rubbed her back. She sipped on it as it refreshed her. She drank more of it and hiccuped. "The police will take him." 

"But he would still come out after a few months, right?" She shuddered. 

"By that time, no one can ever harass you like that." He caressed her hair. "I'll do everything to make his life miserable." He kissed her lips. "Where did he touch you?" 

She pointed to her chest. 

"He almost grabbed my boobs." She cried out loud. It might be a little dramatic or she may sound like it but Kenzo's heart felt like it's been stabbed many times. "Then, he pointed the gun at me. The gun was from the company~~" She hiccuped and Kenzo rubbed her back. 

"Okay, stop crying. I'll make sure that he won't find any decent job from any company." He caressed her hair. "So, calm down my love." 

His phone started ringing. He pulled it out and stared at his grandfather's number. He answered it and listened to his grandfather's voice. 

"Yes, grandpa." He mumbled and faced his beloved. "Let's calm down. I have lots of things to do love. But someone wanted to see you." He scooped her face and caressed her hair. "Can you go with me?" 

She nodded and put away the glass. Then, she hugged him. 

"As long as I am with you, I am safe." 

"That's my girl." He kissed her top head and caressed her hair. "We can leave after you are calm." 

"What's going to happen to him now?" She asked. 

"Well," He scooped her face. "He deserves to be behind the bars." He kissed her lips. "Are you calm now?" He asked. She hiccuped once and nodded at him. 

He took her to their room and waited for her to get dressed up. 

"I'm going down." He told her. "I'm going to check on a few things." 

"No." She shouted and came out quickly without fixing her hair. 

"Love, I'm just going to check them downstairs." 

"But~~I thought that they already picked him?" 

"Alright, I'll stay and wait for you." He told her. She nodded and went back to the closet. 

She came out wearing jeans and a shirt. She took her purse and grabbed her phone. 

"Your hair." He told her. "You looked like a mess." 

"I do?" She asked. 

She went back inside and brushed her hair. She looked at her red eyes and put concealer on her face. Then a lip moisturizer. She put her sunglasses on and her casual Louboutins that her husband bought from the shop. He reached for her hand as they went downstairs. The police and bodyguards are still outside their house. 

"You ready?" He asked. 

"As long as you are here with me." She said and held his arm. The police had already taken the footage in front of the house and the garage that Kenzo and Caleb set up when she started getting threats. She told the police what the man did to her. She's still shaking but before they entered the car she stopped. "I forgot about the smoothies." She mumbled to him. "I'll get it." Kenzo watched as she rushed back inside and Kenzo faced the two guards that protected his wife. 

"Thank you for your work." He told them. They watched as his wife came out with the bag. He reached it and waited for her to settle inside the car. 

Lots of phone calls again. He checked it and one is from Secretary Bryan. 

"I'm sorry." She mumbled. "I should have closed the gate." 

"It's not your fault. He just entrapped you, love." He patted her head. "And you shouldn't be sorry. It's not your fault." 

"I messed up your appointments." She mumbled. 

"You didn't." He hugged her. "I shouldn't leave you alone in the house every time I go off to work." 

"And what's with the people who help me? They just climbed up on the wall or gate?" 

"They are your distant bodyguard." He told and she creased her brows. 

"What's with the bodyguards? Then, they called you master. I know that you work for the Duke and he liked you very much." 

"Uh~he liked you more than he liked me." 

"Anyway, I don't understand." She sighed and removed her sunglasses. "Tell me, I am completely confused with all of these charades. You said that you'll tell me." 

"Yes, of course. For tonight, let's stay in the hotel. I promised you to stay there, didn't I?" He smiled at her. 

"Thank you.." He reached both of her hands but it's still cold and shaky.
