The man did not want to speak any further with Kiara. He rushed at her, forced her onto the floor, and roughly pulled at her clothing.
Shame covered Kiara's body. She bit down hard on the base of her tongue, ready to take her own life.
Just as she was about to end her life, a man appeared from the light and knocked those men aside with one kick. “What are you doing?!”
He moved closer, kicked the bodyguards away, removed his jacket, and placed it over her.
Kiara shook without control. The man spoke softly, “Don’t be scared. Your adoptive father sent me to bring you home. My name is Santino Riley.”
Her eyes turned red as she asked, “Are you the one father sent?”
He nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m the one your adoptive father sent. I did not expect this group of people to dare treat you like this.”
Kiara slowly settled down. “Can you help me up?”
She had been too frightened, and her body felt weak, so she could not stand.
Finally, Santino lowered himself and picked her up.
His people held down those men. “How do you wish to handle them?”
The men who had tried to violate Kiara just before quickly fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
“Miss Chavez, we made a mistake. Dorothy instructed us. Please forgive us.”
Kiara looked at them coldly. She showed no mercy and no kindness.
“Dorothy is not decent, and you are even worse. None of you should even think about escaping.”
“Help me take them to the police station. I want to call the police. All of them must pay for this.”
Santino gently waved his hand and had his men bring them away.
Kiara faced the direction of the Craig family. The love in her eyes faded fully, leaving only hatred.
“My score with the Craig family, I will clear it slowly.”
Santino said, “Since you plan to deal with it slowly, you should first take some interest.”
“I heard the house you stay in now is registered in your name?”
Kiara said, “Yes, that was the marriage present he gave me before.”
A faint smile showed on Santino’s face. “Since it belongs to you, and you’ve already walked away, why should they stay there?”
He waved and called a few men over. “Go tear down that villa.”
Kiara felt shocked. She didn’t think Santino would move so fast and so directly.
Still, destroying it was fine. That awful man and that shameless woman didn’t deserve to remain in her home.
An hour later, Santino brought Kiara to wait for the plane.
Before getting on the plane, Kiara put on a fresh outfit and tossed her mobile into a trash bin, not taking it along.
Everything here she wanted to cut off cleanly, not taking a single bit away.
‘Hugo, clean your neck and wait for me.’
..…
During that night, the Craig family home rose to the top of searches after it was blown up.
Thankfully, there were no people inside at that moment, so there were no injuries for now.
Hugo was at the office holding a meeting with top managers when he got a flood of messages from Dorothy.
Hugo called off the meeting and hurried to see Dorothy.
Because the house had been blown apart, Dorothy was living in a hotel.
When the man walked into the room, Dorothy cried and rushed forward to hold him.
“Brother Hugo, I have no idea who ruined our home. I was nearly scared to death. If I had not gotten out in time, you would never see me again.”
Her tears fell like petals in the rain, making his heart grow soft.
Hugo held her close and comforted her in a gentle voice. “It’s alright. With me beside you from now on, no one will hurt you.”
“I will investigate this issue carefully. For the time being, stay here. I will book all the presidential suites above. You can stay within the top floor area. After I have my assistant search for a few nice houses, we will move there.”
Dorothy nodded and then spoke, “Brother Hugo, can you also arrange one unit for me?”
For Hugo, a house was not much trouble, but for some reason, when he heard those words, he did not feel comfortable.
It was as if a sound inside his chest kept telling him: if it were Kiara, she wouldn’t ask in such a plain way.
He considered it seriously. During all these years, Kiara had never once asked him for anything on her own.
Either he pushed things onto her, and she accepted them quietly.
She had never opened her lips to request…
When Hugo didn’t speak, Dorothy felt a bit unsure and joked lightly. “Brother Hugo, you don’t need to feel pressured. I just said it for fun. As long as I’m beside you, I’m already satisfied. As for those outside matters, I don’t care much.”
