"Let go of me Alscot, or I will scream." I threatened him while pushing him away. Even though it couldn't completely keep him away from me because his body was really heavy and very sturdy like a power pole.
This damn Alscot chuckled sarcastically while bringing his face closer to mine, and reflexively I pulled my face away before this jerk tried to grab my lips with his disgusting lips.
"Scream? I don't think anyone will listen to your screaming voice Ms. Ivy Milano. You better save your voice for moaning my name."
This man is crazy! I regretted it because it had pounded for him. It turns out that he is a damn jerk who must be removed from here immediately.
"Alscot, I said let go off me! I'm not kidding with my threats. I will scream.... mmpffhh... Let... mppffhh....."
This crazy man suddenly kissed my lips roughly and pressed my nape even harder. He sucked my lips disgustingly while closing his eyes, like he really enjoyed this kiss. I tried really hard to get away from him while hitting his rock hard body. My lips remained pursed as Alscot tried to slide his tongue into my mouth. Lord, I'm scared! My tears will soon fall. I had completely given up because Alscot kept pushing me and almost threw me on my own table.
But suddenly Alscot's body fell to the side. I screamed in surprise and reflexively shuffled backwards until my back was against the wall. For a few seconds I felt dazed. My brain seemed to stop working until I heard screaming and punching in front of me.
"Fuck! Don't ever touch My Ivy with your disgusting hands!"
"Jayde!"
I ran to Jayde and grabbed his arm so he would stop hitting Alscot. Even though this bastard has the right to be killed, but I don't want Jayde to dirty his hands with this bastard's blood. Luckily Jayde came at just the right time before that damn Alscot Silas raped me. God, I have to tell dad to cancel the cooperation agreement between Star Corp and Silas Corp.
"Who are you? Ivy is mine."
What? How could this jerk claim me as his? Today he stole my first kiss and almost raped me. He should rot in hell instead of being allowed to live.
"Get out of here, Alscot. The partnership between Star Corp and Silas Corp was cancelled. Now!" I screamed furiously because Alscot was actually looking at me intently while wiping the blood at the corner of his lips.
"I'm going to call the police to throw you in jail if you don't drag your ass out of here, dammit."
Jayde also shouted in front of Alscot. He pushed Alscot's body roughly out of my room causing Alscot to fall on the floor.
I tried to stay calm even though my breathing was getting heavy and out of breath. I almost cried. My eyeballs felt sore like a fire was stinging my eyes. I'm not that tough woman. I'm scared. My whole body trembled with anger and fear. But suddenly Jayde took my hand and tried to calm me down, though it didn't do enough to lessen my fear.
"Tsk, arrogant! I know you're not that innocent, Ivy. All the men out there have you as the object of their erotic fantasies. So don't ever think that your pride is that high."
I held Jayde's hand tightly to prevent him from hitting Alscot Silas in the mouth. This time I really don't want to cause a commotion in the office and make other people suspicious of the incident that happened today. My dad would be embarrassed if he knew that his daughter had just been harassed by a delinquent who claimed to be from a high caste. Alscot Silas really doesn't deserve to be a CEO. Seeing how he was acting, he must be a very dangerous player.
"Get out of here, dammit! Or I will call the police to throw you in jail!"
Jayde growled and gave Alscot a glare, which sent shivers down my spine now. This was the first time I saw Jayde so angry that he looked like he was going to kill someone. I didn't expect that he came into my room and saved me from that damn bastard. I will report this incident to Axel. Alscot and his company are doomed because Axel has connections to a television media company.
"Ivy, I heard a commotion outside."
"Axel!"
I ran towards him who was standing in front of the door and hugged his muscular body tightly. I couldn't hide my tightness any longer, and I really wanted to cry right now. Mainly because I had time to think about splitting up with Axel after feeling the strange throbbing in my heart that I felt when I was near Alscot Silas. Damn that man, it turns out that the thrill that I feel is not because I am attracted to him, but because my soul knows that this man is a dangerous man that I must avoid immediately. Luckily Jayde came to save me and beat Alscot Silas for all his lecherousness.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? I met Alscot Silas in front of your room. His face was covered in wounds and his clothes were wrinkled. He was furious when I tried to ask him."
"Jayde. Where is he now?"
"Jayde just came out. He walked past me and ignored me rudely. As a driver he should bow respectfully to me and not ignore me, right."
"Don't be mad at him. Today Jayde has saved me. You know, Alscot Silas is a fucking disgusting man. He would have raped me if Jayde hadn't come to save me. Maybe he's still annoyed with Alscot's attitude, so he isn't showing the respect he usually does when he crosses paths with you."
I'm a little out of breath. The effects of anger and sadness make me look like a person with asthma. Axel, who saw me having difficulty breathing, pulled me to sit on the couch and gave me a cup of tea that had just been delivered by a cleaning service.
"Thank you."
I took a deep breath while trying to calm myself down. Very good cleaning service. He gave me a cup of tea even though I didn't ask for it.
"Mr. Jayde asked you to have it, Ms. Milano."
So this is from Jayde? He's a nice guy. I have to thank him very much after this for all his extraordinary kindness. Oh, I want to curse Alscot Silas right now when I remember the attitude of that man in my room.
"Ivy, are you all right?"
"Hmm, now I feel better. I am very scared. That guy stole my first kiss and almost raped me. I really didn't expect that a man as depraved as him would occupy the highest position in his company."
"Actually it's a normal thing among business people, Ivy. Most CEOs often do that, because they feel they have money and power. But I really don't agree with Alscot Silas' attitude towards you, he has hurt my girlfriend."
Axel stroked the top of my head gently, then kissed it slowly like he really cares about me. But this wasn't the reaction I expected from Axel. I want him to rage. Defend me and kill Alscot Silas if need be because that damn man has abused his girlfriend. But Axel actually considered what Alscot was doing as normal and didn't defend me at all, who almost became a victim of rape.
"You don't want to spread Alscot Silas' depravity in the media? Or report it to the police?"
"What for? As long as you're okay, I don't think it's necessary. Taking revenge on Alscot Silas for his insolence towards you will only prolong the problem. If you report it to the police, the man also won't get any punishment because he only kisses you. He didn't go much further than that. Besides that, if you report it to the police, all your clients and all employees at your company will know about this embarrassing incident. I don't want your reputation to be in bad shape, Ivy. Please think about the longer-term consequences of your actions."
Instantly I felt dazed. Confused because Axel actually thinks I made a mistake. Alscot should be the one getting the punishment for his mistake. But in this case it's as if I'm the one who will get the moral punishment for Alscot's depravity. Does Axel really love me? Does he care about my hurt feelings? Or actually he was just thinking about the good name of his company which is currently cooperating with my company.
"But your girlfriend just got harassed, Axel. Don't you feel angry seeing me being kissed by another man? Even Alscot told me that I've always been the wild fantasy of men out there."
The fire of anger still burns in my heart. Especially since Axel didn't take this incident as something serious. Instead Axel tried to calm me down by pulling my body into his arms. But I pushed his body away from me.
"Stop it, Ivy. Don't complicate matters. Be thankful that the man didn't get to rape you. Now I have to go back to the office. I came here just to ask about our latest project schedule and about our planned trip to Columbus. Looks like it will have to be postponed because the day after tomorrow I have an important meeting with someone from England. But maybe you're still in shock from what happened to you today, so take a break. See you later."
Axel gave me a light kiss on my forehead. After that he left my room without ever noticing the tears that started welling up in my eyes. I'm not sure I can spend my whole life with a selfish man like that? He did give me the freedom to do anything, but he did not care about my pride. Jayde... where is Jayde now? I need him. I want to cry on his shoulder and let out all the sadness that is squeezing my chest. Jayde.. Jayde.. I need that man right now, Jayde...
"Ivy, I saw Axel just left and—"
"I need you Jayde..."
"What's wrong with you? Don't cry."
I saw Jayde was a little panicked when I hugged him very tightly while crying hysterically on his shoulder. But I didn't care and kept crying on his shoulder until I was satisfied. Why do I have to be destined to be like this? Wealth and physical perfection don't make me happy at all. They are destroying me slowly. In fact living in the midst of a respectable family doesn't make me respectable, I actually look even more despicable when I know that people out there often indirectly harass me. And unfortunately, I will be betrothed to a man who can't even defend my pride that has been destroyed by that damn man.
"Don't cry, your makeup smudged on my shoulder."
"I don't care. They are all evil. They don't defend my pride at all."
"I defend you, and I care for you. I'm here to make sure you're okay. Sorry that I didn't come on time."
"Tsk, what are you doing. Why are you apologizing to me? I am actually very grateful to you for all the help you have given me so far. Thank you Jayde, you really are my best friend."
I hugged him really tight and buried my face in his shoulder. I hope Jayde will continue to be my friend and not leave me alone when I'm down. Because I can't live without Jayde.
