THE EMPEROR'S LITTLE MISS

CHAPTER 23: Berserk

Susan blinked her eyes, trying to adjust to the light. Her heart shook... Who would have thought that karma would hit her this way?

She could already guess who it was that kidnapped her.

She glanced up at the sound of the door opening. Lucy walked in, arms crossed with a smug smile.

Back then when Susan kidnapped her, she swore with every being in her that she would make her regret it for the rest of her life. Susan was just a country bumpkin, so no one would look for her, and even if they did, they wouldn't know where to find her.

"Make sure your video your activities. I'll make sure her reputation is completely destroyed this time around!"

She smirked..

Susan moved back in fright as two lecherous men walked to her. She had no idea when they came in, what's more she didn't expect Lucy to be this cruel.

She had to leave this place. There was no way she would allow this to happen, she would rather die.

"Don't worry we'll make sure yo have the greatest fun of your life". One of the men spoke, his disgusting gaze roaming on her body.

She felt so disgusted that she was about to puke. If she had known Lucy was this unrepentant, she would never had let her off no matter what.

She would never be able to live with herself if these men carried out their plan. She tried struggling, but her hands were tied.

She watch helplessly as they got close, hands touching her in appropriately. Tears clouded her vision.

"Hush now sweetheart... It's not yet time to cry. Don't worry we'll soon make you cry in pleasure"...

The way they spoke, and the filthy hands made her desperate. Her tears finally fell... She desperately wished that someone would come to save her now..

Susan's bodyguards were the first to notice her absence. They were hesitant to call the President but after noticing that her backpack was still in the library while she was no where to be found, they had no choice but to alert the President.

The President felt like his whole being had shutdown. His daughter...

He quickly called them back to the control room in his heart, to search for her via CCTV camera.

"How is her relationship with people in the school?" He asked.. he needed to be sure where to focus on. As much as it sounds, he hoped it was more of a school grudge than for it to be something staged by his competitor.

Although a bit hesitant, they recalled all that happened to the President, who was almost unable to control his anger.

"How dare you keep this away from me?!"

He was about to blow up. Couldn't believe that they kept this from him. "Do you even know what your duty is at all?"

"Sir.. we've got a location"!

At this word, he gave the bodyguards one last look, then rush to the screen. The red dot was in the south surb, at refinery.

"Prepare the chopper! We must not waste anymore time". He ordered. His heart calmed a little.

"President your phone..." Jamal passed his phone to him, which he picked anxiously, thinking it was from the kidnappers.

"You don't need to bother yourself about Susan's matter. Don't want you ruining things for me... Also your workers need to be sacked since they don't understand the work they were employed for". Lionel said in anger.

Only he knew what he felt when he found out that Susan was missing. Even till this moment, he still felt on the edge.. his mind would not be at peace until he saw her with his eyes and held her in his arms.

Those bodyguards lacked proper training and insight of what their job was. No matter what, they should not have been so stupid as to let her fall in danger twice.

The President frowned. He was about to speak but found out the line was already dead.

He was not sure who it was, but he was able to guess.

In the car, Lionel's patience was wearing off. He couldn't shake of the feeling that she was in a dire situation and needed him.

His eyes were bloodshot, due to worry and anger. If not for his pride, he would have helped her deal with that lunatic rather than letter her do it herself.

If he had taken care of that b***h earlier on, this would not have happened. The feeling of guilt made his heart itch.

"Driver faster!"

The impatience in his voice made Christian tense. He was already passed speed limit not to talk of the fact that the road was not so smooth anymore. At this point he was already risking their lives driving this fast on an uneven road.

Immediately the got the the refinery, Lionel quickly alighted and rushed into the building. He already had his people secure the environment and make sure no soul escapes.

He got to the room where Susan was, and his steps slowed down. The men at the door bowed, and opened the door.

He walked into the room, and the sight that welcomed him broke his heart. There she was, curled up at the corner of the room shivering.

Her once translucent face was now all red and filled with tears. Right then he swore to make sure those kidnappers experience what was worse than death.

Susan stared at Lionel blankly. Her heart was chill... Those men, they almost had their way with her. She had been pressed down by them, her clothes were torn and she was only in her underwear.

Her body still had the faint marks they left on it. She felt disgusted by her own self, she felt impure, she hated herself.

She was unable to regain her senses for a sometime.

Lionel walked to her and squat beside her. "I'm sorry for coming late".

Seeing her state, he felt regretful. She was wrapped in a blanket, probably by a female in the team Darius sent.

Who knows what those bastards did to her. He held her trembling shoulders and pulled her into a hug.

Susan broke down into tears. She didn't know why, but his scent gave her a comforting feeling, made her feel like pouring out all her grievance.

"It's all right now. I promise never to let anything happen to you again". He swore.

Her bodyguards were incompetent. He would have people from his side safe guard her. Taking off his wind breaker, he wrapped it around her then took off the blanket that's was used to cover her, making her wear his coat, after which he carried her out of the building.

....

In his penthouse, Lionel sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the insecure little figure on his bed.

She curled up so much that her knee were about to touch her face... As a matter for fact, it was only few millimeters away from her face.

She was asleep, yet it was not a peaceful one she would wake up occasionally, feeling scared, and looking for him.

If it were in another situation, he would have felt good but not now. He hated the way she flinched at the slightest sound.

A while back when he went down to get water, she had woken up and was so scared that she ran out barefoot, almost falling down the stairs.

He rubbed her smooth hair that was as soft as that of a baby, then placed a small kiss on her temple.

Susan stired awake. He eyes fell on Lionel and she hugged him..her hug was tight and suffocating, but he didn't pull away.

She didn't know if she would ever be able to get over what happened. It felt like a nightmare but she knew it was real.

She had thought of biting her tongue till she bled to death but it was impossible because she was gagged. Thanks God she was saved in time.

"They took videos".

She suddenly remembers that there were cameras there when those men came at her. She would not know how to react if that was to be exposed to the public.

"It's been taken care of. Go to sleep, leave everything for me to handle".

His voice was so shootings, that she fell back asleep almost immediately.

I would make sure they do not have a good ending, he swore.

He would not be able to calm down if he did not make them feel pain..
