The stinging pain made Claire open her eyes. When she moved her left hand, she winced as the pain intensified. She looked at the back of her hand to see what had happened, and her eyes widened in shock. Her knuckles were torn, and fresh blood was oozing out. She quickly stood up from the hard wooden floor to grab the first-aid kit.

“How did my hand get hurt like this?” she muttered as she cleaned the wound with alcohol.

The intense stinging brought tears to her eyes. Unable to bear the sight

    Arsen paid no attention to the shouts from the FBI agent telling him to leave immediately so as not to interfere with the arrest. He hurriedly picked Claire up and rushed out of the room, his heart pounding.“Hurry up and take her downstairs!” shouted the police officer who had been friendly to him earlier, as he hurriedly accompanied him toward the elevator. “We have to get her to the hospital as soon as possible,” Arsen said frantically, looking at Claire’s face, which was starting to turn pale.“The medical team is already waiting downstairs. They’ll take this girl to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. Come on, let’s get out of here,” the police officer instructed, pushing Arsen’s shoulder as the elevator doors opened on the first floor. Everything happened so fast. The medical team immediately took charge of Claire and carried her to the ambulance parked right in front of the hotel. “Oh my God! Arsen, is Claire seriously injured? I’m coming with you,” Josh asked as he sa

    At first, Arsen was really skeptical of Josh’s theory, but he drove on anyway toward Cannon Beach in Clatsop County. Time and again, he argued with Josh and made all sorts of threats, but Josh stood his ground. He called the heavyset police officer named Andrew Bredford, then called Leo to ask about any new leads. Unfortunately, Leo hadn’t found Sergio at any of the places Juan had mentioned, which only added to his anxiety. After all, Claire was just a girl who stood no chance against a burly psychopath like Sergio. “Where should we look for Claire?” Arsen asked as they entered Ecola State Park, which was lined with tall trees on both sides of the road. “That’s what I don’t know. There are plenty of hotels along the coast. We’ll just be wasting our time if we check them all one by one,” Josh replied, rolling down the window on his right side and feeling the cool breeze hit his face. “So what should we do? This isn’t a movie, so we’ll have to look for her the old-fashioned way,”

    Her eyes closed for a moment, then Kanzo came to and opened them just as Sergio swung the knife in his hand toward his face. Kanzo deftly dodged and spun, ending up near the bar counter. “A man who squanders his reason because of the shackles of lust that gnaw at his soul. That’s why you’re called insane, young man,” Kanzo said, then smiled as Sergio turned to face him. “You’re the one who’s insane, you bitch! Give Claire back to me!” Sergio snapped as he swung the knife again, but once more Kanzo managed to dodge it.The two continued to grapple, attacking and dodging, until finally Kanzo managed to lock Sergio’s arm and slam him hard onto the cold tile floor. One thing Kanzo didn’t realize was that Sergio immediately pulled his leg back, causing his body to tumble backward, landing on his butt first. Sergio swung his knife again, but Kanzo deftly kicked Sergio's hand, sending the knife flying. There was no time to rest; otherwise, that cold-faced man would slit his throat. Kanzo

  • His Broken Angel    68. Rose Facing Sergio

    That handsome face now looked up as he ran a finger over her lips, making her feel both sickened and disgusted. Any woman who didn’t know him well would surely fall head over heels and be ensnared by his charm. He was the kind of handsome man adored and fantasized about by most teenage girls—all because of the misleading influence of fictional characters. But if only they all knew that most handsome men actually often have sexual disorders or deviances like Sergio’s, they would surely think twice about fantasizing about men like that. “Do you think I’m stupid enough to untie the ropes on your hands? I don’t want to risk setting a monster free while we’re making love,” he replied with a condescending look. The fear that had completely overwhelmed Claire slowly faded, replaced by hatred and anger that grew with every passing second. Every action that man had taken in the past, every word that came out of his filthy mouth, and every condescending glance he’d directed at her whenever

    "This is bad—Romeo has already managed to get to Claire," Leo reported to Jack and Brandon via video call. "What? How is that possible? Didn’t you say someone was watching Claire?" Jack snapped, his face grim. "They’re focused on the witness’s house, boss. Arsen was supposed to be watching Claire, but he’s busy at the university instead," Leo lamented. "Freddy just pinpointed Romeo’s location. He’s at a hotel near Haystack Rock. I’ll send you the exact coordinates right after this. Make sure we get there on time before it’s too late," Brandon replied hurriedly. "Jack, my team is heading out with just three of your men. Isn’t that too few?" "Leo, send an additional team. Make sure they only incapacitate the target,” Jack ordered as he grabbed his jacket. “Where are you going?” Leo asked as he ran toward his car. “I have to go there too. We don’t have any more time. Brandon, don’t forget to call an ambulance just in case.”After that, their call ended, and Brandon sent them Sergio

    “Wait a minute! It says here that the receptionist saw a man with mixed American and... I think Spanish or Mexican features, carrying a girl with curly black hair...” “That’s them! They’re Sergio and Claire!” Arsen interrupted. “Was the girl wearing a white jacket and black jeans?” “How can you be sure that girl is the one you were talking about earlier?” the officer asked, furrowing his brow. “Because I was with her before we parted ways on campus; of course I know what she was wearing. So, where are they now?” Arsen asked impatiently. “We’re still investigating that,” the police officer replied, pulling a pen from his uniform pocket. “You said earlier that Sergio’s last name is Garcia, not Ivanovic?”“Yes, because his father isn’t from Russia—he’s from Spain. Now I have to get out of here quickly,” Arsen replied hurriedly. “Garcia? Is he the same person as this man?” the officer asked, holding up a sketch of a man he’d just pulled from the stack of files he was carrying. Arse

    "I knew you’d be captivated by her too." Leo’s voice drew Arsen’s attention to the girl. "Who is she?" Arsen asked curiously. "Her name is Rose. She’s every man’s fantasy. But none of those men have ever felt her body," Leo explained, his gaze fixed on Rose. The girl sat at the bar counter, s

    A 25-year-old young man was looking out at the row of high-rise buildings through the glass walls of his apartment on Northwest Park Avenue. The autumn chill didn’t make him shiver at all, even though he was currently wearing only a thin gray T-shirt. His gaze shifted to the polished wooden floor

    Rose looked at her blood-stained hands. She wrinkled her nose in disgust, but then rolled her eyes in boredom. "Always such a hassle," she muttered irritably. "I told you I hate seeing blood. Why is he so annoying and stubborn?" She stepped over Albert’s battered body, wearing a look of disgust w

    The deafening din of the music did nothing to disturb a beautiful girl dressed entirely in black. She walked like a Victoria’s Secret model with blonde wig and lips painted a deep maroon. Her elegant, confident stride carried her toward the bar which already crowded with patrons at one of Portland
