All of a sudden, a loud bang reverberated from outside, and a beam of light flooded into the bedroom as the door flew open.
Natalie held her breath and waited for the man to enter as the door flew open.But no one care in.
Natalie heard rustling noises and muffled groans from outside.
Moments later, the house returned to silence.She clutched the lamp tightly until her knuckles grew white.Her palm grew sweaty, and she almost dropped the lamp.
Natalie swallowed loudly; her heart was in her throat the entire time.
Natalie planned to smash the lamp on the man’s head as soon as he came in.She hoped to injure his head and knock him unconscious Moments later, a tall figure appeared outside the room and pushed the door open, causing it to creak on its hinges.
A tall figure walked toward her.
Natalie immediately picked up the lamp, closed her eyes, and flung it toward him.
However, Natalie didn’t hear any shouts or screams as expected.She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the man had grabbed the lamp.
“Don’t… Don’t come over! If you come anywhere closer to me, I’ll beat you to death,” Natalie hissed through her gritted teeth.
She was so scared that her heart almost stopped beating, but she pretended to be fearless.
“Beat me to death? Can you do that?”
Sebastian’s deep, resonant voice reverberated across the silent room.
There was no light in the room, so Natalie could only see a silhouette of his frame. The light outside blurred his features, and Natalie couldn’t see his expression.
But the anger was evident in his voice.
“Sebastian?” Natalie was still in a state of shock.
As Sebastian stepped closer, she pounced on him.Her voice trembled, and her legs gave away.
Sebastian caught Natalie and carried her to the bed.His brows furrowed as he lifted her clothes and inspected her body to see if she had suffered any injuries.
“Are you injured? Did he touch you?”
Natalie’s face flushed.
She quickly dragged her skirt down and shook her head.She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned on his chest to calm herself down.
Sebastian tied her messy hair into a ponytail and brushed the loose strands off her face, tucking them behind her ear.
His grip tightened as he pulled her closer.He pressed his cheek against her ear and took a deep breath.
“It’s all my fault. I should have come home early,” he mumbled, stroking her back.
Natalie’s heart took a sprint in her chest as Sebastian’s manly scent filled her nostrils. Her face turned red.
Natalie finally returned to her senses and pushed him away.
However, Sebastian didn’t budge.She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and sniffed loudly.
“Why did you come back so late? Do you even know what time it is now? Why don’t you just move out if you don’t wanna come back?”
The wind blowing through the window made Sebastian’s thin shirt stick to his muscular body.He pursed his lips and nodded, allowing Natalie to scold him.
“Well, it’s all my fault.” It took a while for Natalie to calm down.
She slowly returned to her senses and looked out the door, her eyes glistening with tears.She curled up in his arms and looked at the short stubble on his jaw.
“Where is that man? What did you do to him?”
“I have tied him outside.”
Sebastian’s brows furrowed; anger blazed in his eyes.He looked at Natalie and frowned.
“How did you get involved with a disgusting man like him?”
“What’s wrong with you? You sound like I seduced him on purpose” Natalie’s eyes widened at his remark.
She struggled to get away from him.
“Let go of me!”
Sebastian always spoke this way to his subordinates.He found it difficult to switch between modes.
Natalie was a delicate and sensitive woman and a bit shaken up after what happened, so he held her tightly in his arms.
“I’m sorry I said the wrong thing.Scold me or beat me if you want, but please don’t be mad at me.” He cupped Natalie’s cheeks and kissed her.
“Sebastian… Stop it.Get rid of this man first!”
Natalie grunted as she continued to wipe the lingering trails of his kisses.But the man ignored her and peppered kisses all over her face. She coutdn’t get rid of Sebastian’s vice-like grip, so she asked him to take her to the living room.
Sebastian smiled and stood up Natalie held his arm and followed him to the living room.Her eyes widened when she saw the man was tied to the chair.
Sebastian had knocked him unconscious; his face was covered in bruises.
“Should we call the police now? What do we do?” Natalie asked in a tremulous voice as the mere sight of the man frightened her.
Sebastian glared at the man, and his jaw tensed with anger.He looked like a beast guarding his territory.
Anyone who even thought of Jaying a finger on his woman would end this way.
“No.I have a better idea.” Sebastian picked up his phone and sent a message to someone.
“What have you planned to do?” Natalie stood on tiptoe to check the message on his phone.
But Sebastian was too tall, so she couldn’t catch a glimpse of his phone screen., After sending the message, he put his phone into his pocket.
“Honey, leave it to me.l’’ll ask someone to deal with him.”Sebastian gently stroked her hair and planted a soft kiss on her cheek.
Natalie didn’t notice the coldness in his eyes.
“Don’t go too far,” she mumbled.
Natalie didn’t know what Sebastian had planned to do.But she was sure the man would be safer with the police than facing Sebastian’s wrath.
However, the man deserved it.
Natalie didn’t know what would have happened to her if Sebastian didn’t arrive on time.
The evil man deserved severe punishment for barging into her house and attempting to rape her.
Natalie couldn’t shake off the image of the man pouncing on her.It frightened her witless.She trusted Sebastian and didn’t want to show any mercy to the animalistic monster.
About ten minutes later, a few burly men arrived and dragged the assaulter away.
Natalie kept her head down and didn’t say a word.
Sebastian knew that she always dropped her gaze to the floor to hide her emotions.
“Why do you keep staring at the floor? Do you see anything precious lying there?” Sebastian’s face softened.
He closed the door and pulled Natalie into a tight embrace, “Look you have to be cautious at all times.Danger might find you even if you’re at home.! called you so many times last night, but you didn’t answer any of them.Do you know how worried I was?”
