Annie moved a little closer, kneeling by his feet, tears glistening on her face as she sobbed and pleaded with him.
Seeing her expression, Rafas felt a strong dislike and kicked her away forcefully. He then grabbed her hair, forcing her to lift her face to meet his dark eyes, which were beginning to show a murderous intent.
"Lefas..." Annie cried, the pain on her head making her feel as if her scalp was being pulled off.
Rafas looked at her like a devil from hell. "Such a beautiful face. What do you think would happen if I made a few cuts on it? It would be quite interesting, wouldn't it?"
Annie had always understood what kind of person Rafas was. As she watched him search the room for sharp objects, panic began to rise in her heart. "Help... Lefas, please don’t scar my face. I know I was wrong; I won’t provoke Yan Wushuang again, I promise!"
"Pah... Can anyone believe what you say?" Rafas found an ashtray on the coffee table and slammed it down hard.
"Crash..." The sound of shattering glass was perfect; the glass table almost broke into pieces. Rafas picked up a shard of glass from the floor and waved it near Annie's ear.
Outside, Mike blocked anyone from entering. Mrs. Smith, hearing her daughter's cries, tried several times to rush in but found herself unable to enter with this man guarding the door.
The glass shard drew closer, and Annie looked at the sharp weapon in front of her, terrified and pale. She hugged her head and desperately tried to dodge, but Rafas refused to let her go.
Yan Wushuang finally arrived outside the villa. After ringing the doorbell for a long time, a middle-aged maid came out to open the door. "Miss, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Mrs. Lei; I’m here to find my husband!" As soon as the door opened, she rushed inside, unsure of what was happening or whether Lefas had acted.
The driver protected Yan Wushuang as they rushed in. The cries for help coming from upstairs were unmistakably Annie's voice. Following the sound of her cries, Yan Wushuang made her way to the second floor.
Mike was surprised to see Yan Wushuang appear here.
"Madam, what brings you here?" Mike wanted to stop them but seeing Yan Wushuang's expression made it seem unlikely.
"Mike, let me in! I can't let Lefas do this!" Yan Wushuang ordered him anxiously. Mrs. Smith listened to their conversation and likely guessed who she was.
Seeing her delicate and beautiful appearance, one could believe she was a kind-hearted child!
Mike did not dare to resist her orders and stepped aside to let them pass, but Rafas had locked the door from the inside. Even though they had gotten past Mike, they still could not enter.
"Ah..." A terrified scream came from inside again.
Rafas grabbed a handful of her hair and forcefully pulled it, causing strands to break apart, nearly making Annie faint from fear.
"Lefas, open the door, it's me..." Yan Wushuang pushed against the door, but it was locked. She had no choice but to shout from outside.
Inside, Rafas froze for a moment upon hearing Yan Wushuang's voice. How could Shuang'er be here? With that thought, his brows furrowed tightly as he looked down into Annie's panicked eyes. "Tell me, did your mother call Wushuang and ask her to come save you?"
Hearing Yan Wushuang's voice did calm Annie's heart somewhat; as long as she was there, Lefas would not kill in front of her or let her see blood.
However, his current pale expression was terrifying, causing Annie to tremble again as she desperately shook her head at his question.
The more Rafas looked at her, the more disgusted he felt. He gripped her fair neck tightly, wishing he could just strangle her to death right then and there...
After shouting for a long time with no response from inside, Mrs. Smith grew anxious. She grabbed Yan Wushuang's hand and knelt before her, pleading, "Mrs. Lei, I know my little daughter has wronged you in the past, but our family has already been punished. I beg you to help us; she is all I have left now. Please, let Mr. Lei spare our lives!"
Yan Wushuang had the softest heart. Seeing an elderly woman kneeling before her like this made it hard for her to bear.
Still, there was no sound from inside because Rafas was currently choking Annie so she couldn't make a sound. In desperation, Yan Wushuang had to resort to this method.
"Ah, old lady, please let go! I have a surgical wound here; it hurts so much!" Yan Wushuang helped Mrs. Smith up while pretending to gasp in pain from the wound outside the door.
Suddenly hearing Yan Wushuang's pained voice from outside, Rafas threw Annie aside without caring that she fell onto the broken glass and rushed to open the locked door.
"Shuang'er..." Rafas finally opened the door. Seeing him come out, Yan Wushuang stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
Mrs. Smith rushed into the room and saw her daughter, pale-faced, collapsed among a pile of shattered glass, blood streaming from multiple cuts on her body.
"What happened? Where does it hurt? Tell me quickly!" Rafas anxiously checked her wounds, but Yan Wushuang grabbed his hand, urging him to hold her.
"Lefas, I'm fine. It doesn't hurt anywhere; I just wanted to trick you into opening the door!" Looking at his worried face, she felt a pang of guilt for deceiving him earlier.
From inside came Mrs. Smith's cries. The maid immediately went to call for an ambulance, but it seemed Rafas was still unwilling to let her go and returned to the room to watch her.
Feeling his gaze, Annie desperately tried to hide in her mother's embrace. It was truly terrifying; this man was really frightening. If she had been even a moment later, he might have choked her to death. If she had fallen just a few inches further, those sharp shards could have pierced her.
The air in the room was suffocating, especially under Rafas's intense stare. Yan Wushuang felt a chill pressing down on her as she stood beside him.
Looking at Miss Smith's body covered in cuts from the broken glass, along with her disheveled hair and the clear marks around her neck from being choked, Lefas had indeed gone too far.
"Mr. Lei, even if my daughter has done something wrong, you have punished her today. I beg you, spare her. I promise that as long as I am here, I will take good care of her and ensure she won't harm anyone again. Please, just let us go!" Mrs. Smith pleaded for her daughter.
But the cold and unyielding Rafas showed no signs of softening. His eagle-like black eyes remained fixed on the mother and daughter duo, never relaxing his watch over them.
"Lefas, please don't be like this. Just do it for my sake and give the child a chance. Don't escalate this any further. Miss Smith isn't inherently bad; if you consider things from her perspective, you'll understand why she acted that way. I don't blame her; truly, I don't blame her. If she hadn't stopped Kogura from assaulting me that day, I might have already taken my own life. There would be no Xiaoyi or Xiao Lei now." She patiently reasoned with him, hoping not to witness such a scene again.
Rafas looked at Yan Wushuang's beautiful and kind side; this foolish woman didn't understand his intentions at all. What he was doing was also to protect her. If Annie played any tricks while he wasn't around in the future, what would happen then?
Yan Wushuang showed him her gentlest side, tightly holding onto his arm and whispering in his ear, "Let's go home; the kids are waiting for us there."
Hearing her mention the two children repeatedly softened Rafas's heart little by little. Looking at the chaos in the room and Annie Smith's injuries, he believed this experience would teach her a lot.
Relaxing slightly, Rafas took a step forward and said to Mrs. Smith, "I hope you can take good care of your daughter in the future."
With that said, Rafas led Yan Wushuang downstairs. Mike and the driver followed them out of the castle; this place was no longer his home, and there was nothing worth remembering here.
Yan Wushuang was embraced as she got into the car. Halfway through the ride, Rafas still hadn’t said a word. Yan Wushuang tightly held onto his hand, resting her cheek against his arm.
“Lefas, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking to me? Are you upset because I tricked you into opening the door?” She asked him, feeling his unusual aura while leaning on his arm.
Rafas felt a surge of irritation at her question. This reckless woman, what was she thinking coming out here? What about the child? Wasn’t anyone going to take care of the child?
Getting angry with her was pointless; in the end, he would still be the one suffering…
“It’s nothing. I’m not angry. Just don’t scare me like that again! And you’re supposed to be resting at home; how can you be out running around? You really drive me crazy. What if something happens to you?” He said irritably. If they were in a room right now, he would definitely punish her.
“I’m sorry! I just wanted to stop you from doing something reckless, so please don’t be mad at me, okay? I know I was wrong!” Yan Wushuang clung to him, doing her best to bring back his favorite expression.
Rafas cupped her face and gently kissed her. With her sudden interruption, he had lost all focus on work… “Let’s go back to the castle; there’s no need to go to the office!”
Less than a minute after they left, an ambulance arrived, carefully lifting Annie Smith onto a stretcher and quickly transporting her to the hospital.
Most of her injuries were cuts from glass, and some shards had even embedded themselves in her skin. She would need surgery under anesthesia to remove all the glass from her body.
“Ma’am, it’s alright. The young lady is just going under anesthesia to have the glass fragments removed. She’ll be out shortly,” Mrs. Smith prayed. If anyone was to blame, it was all on her; she hadn’t raised her children well enough, leading them to such a tragic situation.
Mrs. Smith nodded, hoping that Annie would be safe…
