Chapter 359:
My legs grew numb the moment she signaled to a strange man beside her to search for me.
I was doomed!
Why didn’t I run when I had the chance? I was such a fool.
Before the man could take a step, Ray buried a screwdriver deep inside his chest. The fire torch in Rosa’s hand fell to the floor in shock. My eyes widened in horror as I watched blood ooze from his mouth and chest.
He dropped dead, jerking for a few seconds before embracing death.
Goddess!
“I won’t let you hurt Aurora again. She is innocent and sweet. If there is someone you should hurt, it’s me. Go ahead, kill me. I’m not afraid of a bitch like you,” he spat, his words cutting deep into Rosa.
“It will be my pleasure to send you to hell quickly. Say hello to my best friend,” she sneered.
“That’s a joke because I’m certain she isn’t in hell. It’s time to meet your Uncle in hell,” he retorted.
With those words, they began to fight.
I wished I could save Ray, but his determined words stopped me. It hurt to see him die before my eyes. Despite his actions, I felt pity for him. He was ready to pay for his sins, and no one could stop him.
Ray’s lighter was crushed under his heavy boots, and it began to spread toward the keg filled with gasoline that Rosa had brought. The bitch really meant to burn our bodies.
It didn’t take long before the fire reached the gasoline, and the room started to burn. Rosa and Ray didn’t care; they were consumed with ending each other’s life.
Ray tripped on a broken table, causing him to fall to the ground. Rosa saw this as an opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when he struggled to stand up. With raw hatred in her eyes, she pulled the knife, stabbing him repeatedly in his chest.

Ray wasn’t giving up. He fought back, trying to stab Rosa in the chest, but the screwdriver went swiftly into her shoulder. His fingers scratched her face and dug into her eyes, making Rosa scream in horrifying pain.
“Stupid bitch!” Ray hissed, using his last strength to stab her in the stomach before his head slumped, and he dropped dead.
The room was already engulfed in flames, and there was no way out. Rosa’s horrifying screams and wailing pierced my eardrums.
Finally, it was over.
The evil mistress had met her Waterloo.
I was about to turn and leave when I felt a presence behind me. My heart raced, and fear consumed me.
Slowly, I tilted my head, taking a look at the face of the stalker.
“Damon?!” Surprise swept through me as I saw my knight in shining armor, disbelief overtaking me. “How did you know…?”
“The driver… he told me. But he’s in the hospital now. Were you hurt?” he said, scanning my body for any injuries.
His hands didn’t spare any part of me as they searched for bruises.
“No. Ray saved me. They are all dead now.” My face dropped in sadness as my last moment with Ray flashed in my mind. He only existed in my memory now.
“It’s okay,” he reassured me, hugging me tightly before releasing me.
“You’re safe now, and this will never happen again, as long as I’m breathing,” he promised, kissing my hands lightly before cupping my face in his palms. “Let’s go home. It’s not safe out here.” He pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me.
I felt safe again.
“I’ll tell the warriors to search the building for survivors and have it demolished,” he said, carrying me in a bridal style.
“I almost went crazy when I heard you were kidnapped. I don’t know what I would do if something bad happened to you. I’ll never let you out of my sight again. It’s a promise.”
A frown settled on my face as I scanned the open area.
“Why did you come alone? Where are your brothers? Why didn’t you come with warriors? What if you get killed?” I asked in worry, scrunching up my face in anger at his negligence.
I didn’t want to lose him the same way he didn’t want to lose me.
“They don’t know. I couldn’t waste even a second to tell them. The moment I saw my driver bleeding, I knew you were in danger. He hadn’t finished speaking when I fled to search for you. I trailed your scent until I found you here,” he explained, making my heart melt like heated butter. “That doesn’t mean you should risk your life.”
“I don’t care. I won’t hesitate to lay down my life for you when the need arises. I love you, Aurora Grey,” he confessed, staring deep into my eyes before kissing me passionately.
“Am I forgiven?” he asked, breaking the kiss.
“Yes. We will make this work,” I replied, caressing his sharp jawline.
“I love you, Damon Steele.”
The End.
