Since She Met Lucian

"Help!" Amelia screamed at the top of her lungs. There was despair in her voice and tears flowed freely down her soiled cheeks.

Lucian's car pulled over in front of the house. He got off right away and ran all the way to the house. The front gate was left ajar, obviously forced open with the door broken in half. A feeling of anxiety mixed with anger moved up his spine and to the base of his skull. He rushed into the house and immediately heard Amelia's desperate cry for help. His adrenaline immediately flowed into every fiber of his muscles as he ran into Amelia's room. He immediately saw the man who was forcing himself on Amelia. He grabbed the man by his shoulders, lifted him off the spot and threw him at the wall. The man's back and head made a loud thudding sound as they collided with the wall with a powerful force.

The bearded man groaned as he hit the wall. He was stunned by the force of Lucian's attack. But Lucian was not done yet. He approached the dazed man and started to pepper him with blows. Rage completely took over Lucian. When the bearded man fell unconscious from the beating, Lucian bound the man with a rope and called Eric and told him of the situation.

Amelia was so shocked with what happened that she curled up into a ball in one corner of the room. Tears flowed down her face like torrents of rain that brought burning pain to Lucian's heart.

Lucian approached her slowly so that she wouldn't be startled and add to her distress. He then straightened her clothes. She stared blankly at a wall but she seemed to recognize Lucian. He gently lifted her up and then carried her out of the room.

She was pale and her hair was a mess. Her eyes looked lifeless and dull. They just stared blankly forward into nothingness.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here with you now. Everything will be fine. It will all be okay..."

Amelia rested on Lucian's chest as he carried her out of her room. She felt his warmth with her ears as the thumping heartbeat of Lucian's heart played a steady rhythm for her. She slowly stared up at Lucian's handsome face and she immediately felt relieved and safe. Her flowing tears mixed with a bitter smile.

Lucian felt guilty over what happened. He felt that his carelessness allowed the unfortunate situation to happen. His mind dwelt at the possibility that if only he had taken care of Amelia better, all of it would not have happened.

He had planned to take Amelia back to the SJ Garden when he finished his work. But he never expected any of this to happen.

Meanwhile, Shelly had arrived at the An mansion. Although Lucian intended to take Amelia home that night, he knew that she would be mad at him. They were no longer a couple, after all.

Lucian took Amelia to the finest hotel in the city and booked a deluxe suite for her.

She was still fearful after what had happened and barely spoke on their way to the hotel. Lucian took her into the room and helped her into the washroom. She felt more herself again after washing. She exited the washroom and saw Lucian waited for her just outside the door. "Can you help me contact Mrs. Chen?" she immediately asked him.

"Rest yourself now. Do not worry about anything. I will handle it." Lucian felt that the whole incident was odd but he knew that he had to handle it in a reasonable way.

Amelia was a kindhearted and softhearted person. If the terrible situation that she was worried about came true, it would bring her great sorrow.

Amelia soon fell asleep on the bed. The events of that evening took a heavy toll on her and all her crying had sapped her strength.

When Lucian was sure that Amelia was sound asleep, he called Eric once more to get an update on the situation. He remained standing as he listened to Eric's voice. A grim look reflected on his face the entire time that he was on the phone.

A faint light shone on Amelia's face as Lucian quietly observed her delicate features. He slowly moved his soft fingers towards Amelia's face and touched it. Her skin still felt so smooth to the back of his fingers.

It had been almost three months since he was so near her and looked at her closely and conscientiously.
