However, there was no foolproof way to prevent her from being seen. After exiting the darkened room, Niamh was met with a flushed and unclothed Nevaeh as well as two other thugs with unkempt clothes.
Niamh felt a wave of disgust hit her at the sight.
“Vera Quinn?!” Nevaeh pointed in mortification as she watched Niamh run out of the darkened room. “I can’t believe you’ve been hiding inside this entire time!”
“Tsk. I’ve got to say that she’s smart. She got us fooled.” The scarred man stared at Niamh with excitement.
Not wishing to dwell and waste time, Niamh began to run toward the gates not too far away.
“Don’t let her get away!” Nevaeh roared, clenching her jaw.
She could not believe that she had been played!
Nevaeh would not have had to sleep with such ugly ruffians if not for Vera! Not to mention how she would still have to pay them after letting them have their way with her!
Although, she quite enjoyed it, considering she had not fooled around with other men ever since she got together with Kendrick. Kendrick had not touched her at all even after this whole time, so Nevaeh was thirsty for action.
Hearing the footsteps behind her drawing close, Niamh summoned up all her strength to dash over to the gates that were right in front of her.
Just as she was about to step through the gates, Niamh felt a muscled arm holding her roughly in place.
“That’s enough running for you!” A thug tugged at her harshly.
“Let go!” Nevaeh quirked a defined brow as a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
“Let go? You wish! We’ll let you leave after we’ve had our fun with you!”
“Disgusting!” Niamh yelled. Remembering the three self-defense tactics Felipe had previously taught her, she quickly turned around to elbow the thug in the abdomen.
“Ow!” Not expecting Niamh to do such a thing, the thug’s grip loosened as he yelled in pain.
The three other thugs were dazed as they watched the scene unfurl. No more than two seconds after, the man with a scar on his face gave his subordinates the order to catch Niamh.
As much as Niamh refused to back down, the fact that she had yet eaten anything coupled with the effects of the chloroform hindered the strength in her limbs and even gave her a headache.
Watching the two men run toward her, she took the chance to extend her leg to trip him. The sight of a comrade falling had the other stunned before he quickly reached out for the drugged spray. He then aimed it at Niamh.
“Stop moving! Or I’ll have you know what it feels to be drugged!” The thug threatened.
Niamh refused to lose consciousness again, for only while conscious could she fight back.
Nevaeh was still in shock. She never expected Vera to know self-defense.
She was indeed smarter than that piece of trash Niamh.
Not that it mattered.
Not when she was obediently not moving right now.
The corners of Nevaeh’s lips tilted sinisterly. “Everything you tried on me just now, I want you to do double on the woman!
“Look at this woman’s face. It’d be a shame if you went easy on such a gorgeous face. Don’t hold back, boys!”
With that, wicked smirks grew on the four thugs’ faces as they slowly walked toward Niamh.
“Have fun, Vera Quinn! They’re not bad!”
“Have you no shame, Nevaeh Delgado?”
“Hahaha… Maybe if you begged, I might have thought about letting you go. Too bad though, if you’re going to be so stubborn, then you can just die!” Nevaeh’s eyes hardened as an evil smile appeared on her bandaged face.
Niamh refused to allow Nevaeh to hurt her anymore, especially not before she took revenge for all Nevaeh did to her back then.
Watching the four men approaching her, Niamh slowly raised her fists.
She would fight to the death before she let herself fall into the hands of these men.
When her eyes fell on a wooden stick by the wall, she dashed to pick it up before anyone could stop her.
“Oh? What a feisty one. I like it.” The scarred man smiled wretchedly with a hand rubbing his chin as he stared disapprovingly at the wooden stick in Niamh’s hand. “I’d stop fighting back if I were you, beautiful, lest you suffer unnecessary beatings for your misbehavior!”
Niamh walked toward the scarred man with a mocking smile gracing her alluring features. “The one you should be worried about is yourself!”
“Hahaha…” The scarred man roared with laughter. Ignoring Niamh’s threat, the three other thugs joined in.
Right then, Niamh raised her foot and kicked the scarred man between his legs!
“Ow!” The scarred man wailed! Clutching his manhood, the man rolled around the floor in agony. “B*tch! I want this chick destroyed! Make her pay!”
“Yes, Boss!” The thugs complied. To prevent further mishaps, one of them took out the chloroform spray and aimed it to Niamh’s face.
Niamh ended up breathing some of it in before she could stop herself. Its chemical scent immediately plunged her into a dizzying state.
Niamh quickly held her breath, but she had already begun to see stars in her vision. The few wretched men’s smiles split into many and each was coming at her while surrounding her tightly.
Niamh felt her legs give. Even after using the stick to hold herself up, she could not block out the abominable laughter from around her.
“Go on! Run! Why aren’t you running, huh?”
“Hahaha…”
“I’ll make you pay! Take off her clothes!”
Niamh was slowly losing her grip on her consciousness, but the words had her balling her fists and swinging the stick at any man who dared approach her. However, she fell limply on the ground the next second.
“Don’t touch me!”
While Niamh’s breaths began to falter, her spirit did not.
In a haze, she watched the men reach out to her while Nevaeh sat, casually smiling as she watched not too far away.
‘Nevaeh Delgado, you killed my child, then pushed me into life-threatening danger time and time again. I swear that if I die today, I’ll drag you with me to hell!’
Hatred burned red in her chest, strong enough that it gave Niamh the newfound strength to stand up again determinedly.
Nevaeh was stunned to see Niamh stand, but she did not think the other had the strength to fight back anyway.
The men could not wait any longer. Impatiently, they pulled Niamh by her arm when she stood and began to forcefully remove her clothes.
Two strong beams of light suddenly shone straight at them right as they got rid of her jacket. The rays of light blinded them and forced them to close their eyes.
Within the car sat Kendrick who could blatantly see how the men had surrounded Vera. Her outfit had been partially shed, leaving her bare shoulders out in the open.
Kendrick pursed his thin lips into a cold line as his fingers gripped the steering wheel. Unbridled flames immediately swarmed his chest!
Stepping hard on the accelerator, he aimed the car precisely to one of the men who refused to let Niamh go. The man flew backward upon impact and Kendrick quickly alighted the car. Fury and dominance oozed off the man as he kicked the other two thugs who held onto Niamh with one leg.
No longer held up, Niamh immediately lost her balance and fell limply.
Kendrick felt his heart sink as he reached out frightfully, pulling Niamh safely into his arms. Relief flashed in his eyes when he felt the warmth of her body against his. “It’ll be alright, Niamh. It’ll be okay. I’ve got you now.”
Niamh’s head felt muddled under the influence of the drug. She vaguely thought she had heard a voice by her ear, calling her Niamh and telling her that it was going to be alright.
