449 Need Protection?
“Just how dangerous the man was or how weak you think I am that I will need your protection?” He laughed it off.
When the woman shook her head. “You will know when the time will come.” that was all she said when he raised a brow but she did not reply.
They sat there for some more time before standing up and paying the bills.
The man was walking forward while looking back every now and then while talking to her when he felt a strong pain in his face.
Everything happened so suddenly that he did not even know the reason for the pain until he felt something wet and sticky on his face and a strong stench of iron filled his nostrils.
His hands instinctively reached to his nose and jaw and his eyes shook a bit before concentrating on the man in front of him.
“Did you only find this clown after searching for so long?” asked Declan as he stared at Anne with a cold look on his face when the girl looked away.
“What does it have to do with you?” she asked in a cold voice as she gritted her teeth and glared at him for a second before turning to look at the young man she had brought.
She had just promised him that she would take care of him and now this had happened. She was too careless just now.
.....
“Are you okay?” she asked in a solemn voice as she touched his nose that was still bleeding.
The man nodded his head as he let go of his small wound and then started at Declan.
“What kind of man attacks like that?” he asked with a frown showing his chivalry toward the woman who had brought him when Declan scoffed.
“What makes you think that you would have been able to block it if you had known in advance that I was going to beat you.” The voice was filled with such arrogance that he wanted to beat Declan and teach him a lesson that anyone could take the benefit of the surprise element.
“Why don’t you attack me again and then I will see it!” he challenged with a cold voice when Declan laughed.
“At least you have chosen an interesting one. I was expecting that he would have already been running away with tears in his eyes.” he said looking back into the eyes of Anne whose eyes squinted back on his face.
He did not wait to communicate with her further when he saw that new boy toy playing with his sleeves as if he was going to win and a nefarious smile formed on his face.
He liked the challenge and it would be a perfect opportunity to teach her that she could not play this kind of tricks on him.
“So, are you ready or you would say that I sneaked again.” he mocked again but without waiting for her, he punched again.
This time he tried to hold the hands of Declan, he was prepared. His all attention was on Declan but for some reason he did not see the movement of his hands as if they were faster than the air and before he could blink another punch had already landed on his face.
This time it hit his left jaw and he felt blood gushing to his mouth and the whole mouth filled with the taste of iron.
“Oh! Did you get hurt again? I am sorry!” Declan said in a mocking voice and laughed when he saw the boy glaring at him.
“That is enough, Declan. I have already asked you to stop. Are you not hearing me?” Anne scolded as she stood in between them. “Trying to teach a lesson to the man when you know that you are not at the same level. Are you not ashamed of taking advantage of him?”
She frowned and spat the words with anger but when Declan saw her taking care of that fool, his anger only rose.
He laughed as if he had gone crazy!
“What in the world do you think I am? Why should I be the one to feel sorry when he is weak? He should be the one who is sorry!” he mocked as he tried to attack the young man again but Anne held his hands and glared at him.
“Stop it!” she commanded when his eyes met her. His eyes were filled with flames rising from the depths of hell.
“Then stop me. Because I will only stop after drinking all his blood.” he threatened in a fierce voice that came from his grinding teeth when her eyes narrowed at him.
He raised another hand and she held it too. Both of their hands were entangled and they were staring at each other intensely.
The man came forward and looked at both of them. Anne had said that he was her ex and she hated him for his cheating but when he looked at both of them. It did not look to be the case.
“I am sure there is some misunderstanding.” he muttered when both of them turned to look at him.
Even their expressions were the same. The look of bewilderment on both of their faces broke his heart.
What in the world was he even thinking? What made him feel that he could win the heart of this woman if he had been persistent or if he tried.
He shook his head as a self depressing smile formed on his face confusing both of them further.
“Would you speak further or were you just wasting our time?” asked Declan with a frown when the boy nodded his head.
“Yes, you are right! I was just wasting time with all three of us. You are right again when you told me that I did not deserve her and the girl belongs to you. But I realized my mistake on time. So, I am leaving. It would be better that both of you will sit and solve your matter rather than dragging others in it.”
