Chapter 309 Darryl In The Elevator Cary removed his glasses, revealing his malevolent gaze. He then leaned in close. "Despite your bitchy attitude, you're quite stunning, far more so than any film star," he said.
Cary patted Raegan on the shoulder forcefully and his drool almost fell. His excitement was palpable. "I'm eager for our night together." with that, he grabbed Raegan's arm and pulled her toward the couch in the lounge.
"Help! Someone help me!" Raegan cried out in panic. Her fingers clawed at the carpet so fiercely that she drew blood from her nails.
"Quiet!" Cary yelled as he gave her a
brutal kick. "I swear, if you utter another word, I'll kill you! Be silent!" Raegan clutched her aching waist, but she didn't stop her cries for help.
Cary, in his agitation, seized her hair and tried to force her face down into the couch cushion.
The sensation was excruciating as if Raegan's scalp was being ripped off.
The agony of her hair being yanked out brought tears to her eyes. But this pain somehow sharpened her thoughts, “making her more aware of her surroundings.
Through her tears, Raegan begged softly, "Mr. Blake, please, I won't resist.
just don't harm me. I'll follow your orders..." At that moment, Raegan's face was flushed. Her eyelashes were damp and quivering. This made her look pitiable
| yet endearing.
Overcome by his desires, Cary started fumbling with his belt and his_mouth spewed crude remarks non-stop. "Oh, my dear, if only you'd complied earlier, I would've given you everything you wanted," he taunted.
Cary leaned forward. He licked his greasy lips and his eyes gleamed wickedly. This sight made Raegan feel sick.
Realizing she had just one shot, and her strength was limited to this single attempt, Raegan acted swiftly. She deftly pulled out something hidden behind her neck.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, a jet of liquid sprayed from the tiny bottle in her hand, hitting Cary directly in the eyes.
"Ah! My eyes!" Cary thrashed around | wildly. His fists swung in all directions
as he screamed like a madman, "You bitch! What on earth did you spray in my eyes? Damn it!" Raegan felt fortunate she always carried pepper spray in her bag and had another bottle around her neck for emergencies. She felt grateful for her foresight.
She narrowly avoided Cary's wild punches by ducking. Then, seizing the moment, she kicked him, sending him tumbling off the couch.
. Cary lay on the floor, clutching his stomach and writhing in pain. His curses and moans filled the air. "Fuck! I'll kill you!" Mustering all her energy, Raegan crawled and scrambled toward the door. With a burst of strength, she lifted a chair and smashed it against the door lock.
"Thud!" The sound echoed as the chair made contact.
The door remained stubbornly shut after her first attempt.
Meanwhile, Cary regained some semblance of clarity, and muttered continuous threats, "I'll kill you!" The gravity of her predicament became even clearer to Raegan.
In a bid to maintain focus, Raegan sharply slapped her own face, jolting herself back to the urgent task at hand.
She grabbed the chair again and relentlessly hit the lock.
This time, her efforts paid off. After two forceful hits, the door swung open.
But Cary, still clutching his stomach, had managed to creep up behind Raegan.
With a pained expression, Cary held
| her shoulder firmly.
"Ah!" Startled, Raegan screamed, spun around, and landed another kick on him.
The impact sent Cary crashing to the floor with a heavy thud.
Thankfully, Cary had overindulged in a large meal earlier, which left him less agile. If not for that, Raegan might not have been able to overpower him.
Ignoring everything else, Raegan ran for her life. Luckily, they were in a . restaurant, and Cary had not set up any guards in a bid to avoid drawing attention.
However, the restaurant was eerily quiet at this hour, especially on this floor. Not a single staff member was in sight.
Trusting on her memory, Raegan sprinted toward the elevator. Her
vision started to blur because of the drug she had consumed, She anxiously watched the elevator numbers climbing floor by floor. g "You bitch!" Cary's sinister sound sent a shiver down Raegan's spine. She hadn't anticipated Cary catching up so quickly! Raegan had thought she was safe because the restaurant's security cameras would deter Cary from chasing after her.
But Cary had not only caught up. He was in a disheveled state. His shirt was undone, and his pants were missing.
He appeared terrifying.
Raegan realized something was terribly wrong. She was overwhelmed and was feeling defeated as she leaned against the wall. Frantically, she pressed the elevator button, hoping for rescue from whoever might be inside.
| Cary, staggering and drooling, slurred angrily, "You thought you could escape? You harmed me! You bitch!" He then gripped Raegan's hair and forcefully pulled her back.
"Ah! Let me go!" Raegan clutched her hair and cried out for help, "Help me!" By sheer coincidence, at that moment, the elevator chimed, "Ding." The elevator doors slid open.
Raegan caught sight of weary gray-blue eyes and instantly shouted for help, "Help me! Save me!" Then, a sharp slap resounded.
Cary angrily threatened, "If you scream again, I'll kill you!" Inside the elevator, Darryl leaned against the wall casually with his | hands in his pockets. He appeared indifferent. He had no interest in
intervening in such a petty issue.
Darryl remembered a previous incident where he had intervened in a couple's fight. After injuring the man, the woman who initially sought his help turned against him and sued. This led to a year of ridicule from his friends.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince then, he vowed never again to meddle in others' affairs.
At that moment, Cary was pulling Raegan toward a corner of the corridor.
Raegan's pleas for help grew fainter.
The image of those weary eyes briefly flickered in Raegan's mind. Then, in a burst of defiance, she dug her sharp nails into Cary's frenzied wrist, tearing at his flesh.
Cary winced in pain and released her.
He then raised his hand to strike her.
"Damn you! Ah!"
Pushed to the brink, Raegan tapped into a deep well of strength. With no hesitation, she grabbed his arm and bit down hard. His scream of pain echoed through the corridor.
Desperate to save herself, Raegan then dashed toward the elevator.
Just as the elevator doors were closing, she gathered all her remaining energy and yelled, "Darryl! Save me!" Darryl noticed a slender hand reaching out to stop the elevator's closing doors.
Lazily, Darryl stuck his foot out and inquired, "Who called me?" | The next second, Raegan threw herself into his arms, pushing him back a couple of steps.
"Damn it!" Darryl grumbled, visibly annoyed. He quickly tried to push her away, wanting to keep his distance.
"I'm telling you I've met countless
| I'm not easily swayed anymore. Don't try any tricks with me," he warned.
Despite his reluctance, Raegan clung to him. Her slender and soft arms wrapped around him with all her remaining strength fueled by : strong sense of escaping danger.
"Damn it!" Darryl cursed under his breath, again and again. He found himself blaming her alluring scent for his hesitation to push her away.
Then, Raegan's perfume struck him as "familiar. Upon lifting her chin, her beautiful face emerged from beneath her disheveled hair.
Darryl's eyes widened in surprise. He asked in a low voice, "Raegan?"
