Chapter 603
Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)
They didnât even care about their own lives, let alone the lives of others. They approached Adrian swiftly and began to beat him mercilessly with their fists and feet.
Adrian, with no formal combat training, felt his ribs shatter under the onslaught.
Aubree stirred at the commotion, her lips twitching into a wry smile as she watched them turn on one of their own. She didnât speak; instead, she continued to stare at the ceiling, her mind echoing with Tessaâs words about getting married.
She clung to Andrew as her last hope, but his cellphone was with Tessa.
Tears began to stream down Aubreeâs face, her whole body aching with a pain that seemed to penetrate her soul. It was odd. The men hadnât even touched her yet, but she felt tainted as if no shower could ever cleanse her. Perhaps she had been marked by an indelible stain since the age of eighteen.
Adrian curled up on the ground, blood spilling continuously from his mouth. The men grabbed his hair and smashed his head against the wall, their voices laden with malice.
âNext time you want to play the hero, weigh your strength first. Screw you!â
âDonât actually kill him. Weâve got to pin this mess on him.â
âRight, the beauty is right here. Letâs make it quick.â
âBrielle is quite a looker, too. We could have a go with both of them. That would be the life.â
Their laughter was lewd and unbridled.
Adrian, hearing this, mustered the last of his strength and looked at Aubree, his heart pierced by the sight of her tears. Maybe Sydney had felt just as helpless.
Somehow finding a burst of energy, he grabbed one of the menâs legs. The man stumbled forward, enraged at Adrianâs defiance, and kicked him squarely in the face. âFuck!â
Adrian was sent flying and lay motionless on the ground.
The men approached Aubree and tore off her clothes in a brutal display of savagery. One of them eagerly and impatiently mounted and slapped her across the face.
âYouâre so easy! No wonder you could entice your own brother!â
âDid you enjoy it as much when he fucked you?â
Aubreeâs pupils contracted sharply. Her lips were pressed tightly together, tasting blood in her mouth from the slap. Her head was knocked askew, her cheek swelling visibly.
Her face, which was quite lovely, angered the other men when they saw it being damaged. âJust do it.
Donât ruin the face,â one of them snapped.
The man shrugged. âJust a bit of fun.â he muttered, no longer hesitating. But Aubree, having 11:38 just had her legs freed, delivered a powerful knee to his groin. The man paled from the pain and glared at her furiously.
âYou bitch!â
He approached Aubree, prying her mouth open. âI have many ways to make people suffer, and you donât want to experience them all,â he snarled.
He grabbed a dagger from nearby, prying open Aubreeâs mouth and wrenching her teeth out.
The pain was excruciating! Aubreeâs mouth filled with the taste of blood, a crimson flow that wouldnât stop.
Tears and blood smeared her face, but she could hardly make a sound. She felt like a proud rose had been reduced to a crushed dirt by the roadside.
Maybe she was never a rose; perhaps she had always been a wildflower, discarded and unwanted.
The man seized her hair, holding her down, fucking her mouth without restraint. The camera nearby recorded every moment, capturing the gruesome scene in its entirety.
The menâs laughter was carefree and loud as they reveled in their control over her body.
