Chapter 214 - I am here, Little heart

As Leena stepped into the university gates along with Reese and Jane, a trace of nervousness filled in her. With a positive perception, she came here to clear her mind from unwanted thoughts but that was slowly curtailing when the students gave her a strange leer. Like a chick that doesn't get sufficient oxygen through the hard shell, her soul got trapped in a veneer of insecurities.

Reese pulled Jane's sleeve and whispered into her ear. "Get your assignment fast done and come back. I will be with Leena."

"Alright. Take care of her." Jane muttered and went to get her business done to come back as soon as possible.

"I_I am scared, Reese." Leena tightly gripped Reese's hand in fear. She could feel people criticizing her. On normal days, she would not mind but today, she was feeling anxiety. Did Ethan spread the news of his assault?

"Shall we go to your favorite spot, the library? No one would disturb us." Reese quickly added. "Don't panic, Leena. I am here for you." Reese convinced, stroking Leena's arm. Leena would strike back and shut everyone's mouth if it was another time but all changed because of that bastard.

"Okay." Leena nodded her head like a meek little kitten and headed to the library. She picked a book to pass the time and settled next to Reese. All of a sudden, a girl sitting at the same table got up and left the place.

Reese's eyes glowed with savage fire. She didn't miss the disgusted look on the girl's face directed at Leena. What on the earth is that idiotic girl thinking? Does she have a death wish?

Meanwhile, two other girls sitting adjacent to Leena were exchanging looks, their cues were palpable to Leena.

Their conduct vexed Leena and she got up from the chair and approached the girls. She snatched the mobile from one of the girl's hands and to horror, it was the pictures that Ethan has thrown onto her face. The parts of her body were blurred but her face was clear in all the pictures. Who is it? What did they gain from it? Tears welled up from deep inside and coursed down her cheek.

"Who sent this?" Reese demanded.

"A friend of mine from the business department." The girl choked on her breath as she explained. "It is spread to the whole university." She recited the last two words in a whisper.

Reese snatched the mobile from Leena's hand and threw it onto the floor. She did not mind if it was broken. Those girls deserve it.

It's not good to stay here anymore. Someone is deliberately potting against Leena. I have to inform Wilbur and Francis at any cost. Reese immediately messaged Jane to meet at the entrance.

"Let's go home," Reese held Leena's arm, and before she pulled her out of the library, they heard a comment.

"I never thought she is such kind of girl." The library administrator snapped.

"She brought a shame to the university!"

Leena sharply gazed at him, her icy stares bored into him, making it hard not to back away. He was the same person who has praised her in the past for her outstanding accomplishments. Sure, people change.

"Don't mind those street dogs," Reese's voice was loud enough for the librarian to hear and shut his mouth. I will look after this dimwit library administrator tomorrow. If not taking care of Leena was her priority, Reese would have taught him a life lesson.

Reese thought it was only the librarian that wrecked Leena but she was cornered by the people here. She has suffered enough with Ethan's assault already and on top of it, this scandal broke her heart.

"Woah! The great Leena is here!" A man commented. "I must say, you are damn hot in the photos."

"One more word from your mouth, Mr. Tyson Fhal." Jane appeared and shielded Leena protectively. "Your family name will be in rags by tomorrow."

Tyson shut his mouth with the threat. He knew with Jane's status, it would yield no good to his family.

"Those threats don't work on me right, Miss Evans." Another person appeared in front of Leena to pry on her. "The badass Leena Hayes is a scared bunny after the truth is exposed?" Raiden snickered.

"Raiden!" Jane threatened him. It was clear he is trying to take revenge on Leena for rejecting his advances.

"Didn't your mom and dad taught you manners when you were a child?" Leena calmly asked.

"Arrogance is not a good sign, babe! Didn't your boyfriend satisfy you?" He gave a sardonic laugh. "Anyway, everybody has seen it all...Why don't you show it to me_"

A deep kick drove into Raiden's gut silencing his thoughts. Raiden stumbled and lost the balance and fell on to the floor.

"Wilbur." Jane caught her breath in a startled gasp. When did he come here?

"Do your mouth still speaks if I cut off your tongue?" Wilbur roared, his blazing murderous eyes penetrated Raiden, lifting chills down his spine.

"Did someone hurt you here?" Wilbur's gaze turned to his sister and pulled her closer

"No." Leena's throat tightened at the sight of Wilbur. He has come! My brother has come! She felt a sense of security and warmth in his hands.

"Who are you!" Raided snarled. "Son of a_"

"It takes the son of a b**ch to change the habits, ratbag." Wilbur pushed Leena and swung his right fist into Raiden's defined jaw, the latter growled as he tried to recover from the strong hit.

A glass of shard protruded from Wilbur's arm, the cut in his arms was flowing freely with the blood but the adrenaline within his body kept him going. Everyone who has hurt his sister has to face his wrath.

Jasper who was watching Wilbur's fury tried to pull him but it was his futile attempt. Wilbur is a Krav Maga fighter and each punch would be an impact of thousands of venomous blades piercing into one's body if he left him aside. "You are not a part of this university, Will. It will cause a huge uproar."

Wilbur pushed Jasper and sliced his fist across Raiden's gut, ripping open his shirt and pant zipper. In one swoop, except for b.r.i.e.f.s, Raiden was standing half n.a.k.e.d in front of the whole university.

With all the people starting, he covered his body, his face was red with shame. "Quite an awful body you have." Wilbur threw the shirt onto his face.

Wilbur looked at the people surrounding him with his bloodshot eyes. It was not only a warning to Raiden.

In the middle of the commotion, they heard heavy footsteps and the crowd gasped when the chairperson arrived. The chairman of the university heard from one of the professors, a fight was transpiring on the campus. The students always end up in fights, so he did not bother but they informed him it is quite serious this time. His mood was already sour when he saw odd pictures of his favorite student and came here to disqualify the ungrateful little things but when he saw the person, chills ran down his spine and rushed towards him.

"Mr. Brooks" Wilbur spoke up without lifting his head.

"Yes, Mr. Hayes."

"I don't want to hear his name from tomorrow." With disgust, Wilbur pointed his hand at Tyson. "Don't think I have forgotten."

"I will take care of them." The chairman politely bowed.

The stoic temper shifted when Wilbur gazed at his sister. He walked towards her and gently pulled her into a hug. "I am here, Little heart! No one will harm you."

Leena's hands hung by her side, she did not raise her hand to hug him like she always does. But her tears split over and flowed down her face like a river escaping a dam.

....

Leena slept on his arms by the time they reached home. Wilbur straight away carried her to the bed. His heart was in pain seeing her broke completely. "I will not let anything happen to you. I will bring the culprit in front of you." He whispered and strolled out of the room.

He looked at the two girls shivering when he entered the living room.

"What's happening here?"Wilbur demanded. "Why is Ethan under the guest list of this house. What's his relationship with my sister!" If he was not here, Wilbur stopped imagining. Jasper informed him about a scandal in the morning and he immediately arrived in Seattle. Jane has not even talked about it even when they are in a relationship. He was shocked seeing the events unfolding today.

" I_I" Jane and Reese stuttered powerless in front of the man. There is no escape except to confess the truth.

"Jane!" Wilbur's voice lifted a scale. "You know about me. Tell the truth before I go berserk."

"E_than is Leena's boyfriend," Jane revealed holding the hem of her dress tightly.

"W_hat?" Wilbur was stunned by the confession. Ethan and Leena in a relationship?
