Ava had no way of escaping. The man was just too strong for even her, who prided herself as one who could take care of herself. She felt despair settle on her, and a terror like no other gripped her, mentally incapacitating her, only temporarily, though.
However, that short time was all it took for him to pounce on her as the other one languished lazily against the door as if he were watching his favourite movie.
Ava wanted to retch when he continued to lick the sides of her face, relishing in it as he whispered what was supposed to be sweet nothings, but at that moment, all Ava wanted to do was tear him apart. That was when she realized how weak she was.
She could not do anything to save herself but give in to the tears that threatened her. With just a blink, warm tears ran down freely, but Ava clamped her mouth shut, not wanting to give them the satisfaction of hearing her cry as well. More importantly, she did not want to give him the chance to clamp his dirty foul mouth over hers!
Nonetheless, since they were thugs, Ava tried one more tactic while she cursed her brother, Marvin Burnet in her heart.
"Stop it! Please! I will get the money! I wil-"
"Hahaaahhahaaaa, she said please? I didn’t know that she could say that!"
The core of Ava’a despair gripped her when she felt the cool air brush over her skin from the loss of her top.
Ava screamed as more tears ran down freely, just as the door was kicked open from the outside, taking both thugs by surprise while the one by the door was kicked straight into the opposite wall.
A little earlier, Rocky stepped out of the police station, and the tension and fury in him escalated more than when he had entered a few moments earlier.
At nineteen years old, Rocky looked to have matured overnight with the responsibility that had been thrust upon him. Within twenty-four hours, he had seen sides of his parents that he never knew existed.
’No matter what, I cannot let father be just like that. He is family.’ Rocky thought. Family with blood ties were inseparable in whatever come may.
He walked unseeingly and flagged a taxi. Just as he sat in his, another pulled out behind him and Clara rushed out towards the same police station that Rocky had exited from, but Rocky was too caught up in his world to notice.
He told the driver Ava’s address and settled down in the back of the car. His sour mood slightly uplifting with the thought that he was going to see his dear Ava.
He also did not notice another car slowing down in front of the police station, even though the cars passed close to each other, and his windows were rolled down. The taxi driver looked back, exclaiming, "She is beautiful!" He nearly lost control of his car just from looking at the person, but Rocky did not notice this.
Rocky did not bother looking; he only thought and muttered to himself,
"Whoever it is will never be as beautiful as my Ava... and my sister, of course!"
Rocky was not immune to Shelby’s charms, but he had learned to work around it. With many people bent on having their way with his sister, he had turned into the protective brother who was proud of his sister’s looks and would fight to the death if need be to protect her. That was his sole role in his sister’s life!
It didn’t take long for the taxi to pull up in front of the old building.
Rocky looked at his watch, "I’m still early! Let me grab some bites for us then."
He walked leisurely and did not have to go far before he saw an old woman roasting peanuts in their husks.
He bought some and started back, unpeeling and popping it into his mouth. The first sign of trouble was when he overheard two women talking just by the building.
"That girl is totally a slut!"
At first, he did not pay much attention to them and kept on walking, but then, as they continued talking, his blood started running cold.
"Last time it was two men visiting her...."
"Ikr! Young girls nowadays have no shame. I can’t believe she just moved in, and she wants to run a brothel!"
"Did you see the one that picked her up yesterday?"
"Yh, that was a really rich one! I wouldn’t mind having him for myself if he can pay!"
"Lol! Anyway, such rich men are not built for our neighbourhood. Maybe they went to a hotel!"
"Oh my! Does that mean that he is married?"
"Probably! He was a bit on the older side, but he has taken care of himself very well."
"She is attractive, and she has her youth on her side, so she can afford to do anything she wants."
There were a few indicators from the conversation that pointed to Ava and Rocky was a little upset at their conversation. They did not know her or what she did, but they just run their mouths as if they stayed in the same room as Ava to know all those inside information. Rocky threw a hard look at the women, but they did not mind him and continued.
"What’s his problem?"
"I don’t know. Let’s just leave!"
"Did you see the two who came in today?"
"Just today? They’ve been waiting since yesterday!"
"They sure are scary though!"
"I know, right? They give me the shivers, but who knows? Maybe she likes it rough!"
"Hahahahahahaaaaa.... naughty woman!"
Rocky stopped short and sprinted towards the building.
All he heard was two scary men may be targeting his Ava. Even if the probability of that being false was high, he was not about to take chances. This was because Rocky knew a group of people who fit that bill.
Just around that time, as Ava had come in and gone up to her room, Josh, her boyfriend, had also dropped by for a surprise visit.
’She called me yesterday... Is she ready for me now?’
He asked himself as excitement built up in him. Josh dipped his hand into his pockets and brought out two condoms. With no hesitation, he dropped it into the nearest bin.
"Who eats a wrapped toffee? It is better to fuck her raw so that I can get all the sensations."
Josh laughed and brought out a breath freshener, spraying a couple in his mouth.
Josh climbed the last stair and saw two men entering Ava’s room, the door closing behind them.
He stopped short, then walked slowly towards the door, disbelief clouding his features.
"So, she wouldn’t have sex with me but will sleep with two unknown men? What is wrong with her? Is she crazy? Here I was, thinking that I would give her enough time to come to me, and she was spreading her legs for unknown men! What was with the good girl act then?"
Josh frowned, very dissatisfied with what he had supposedly stumbled upon. He walked up to the door and raised his hand to open it, but then he dropped his hand.
’It’s time you spread out those juicy bits between your legs for us, don’t you think so....?’
Josh clenched his fists and leaned his ear against the door,
He heard Ava’s voice, and then he turned away from the door, both excited and disgusted at the same time.
’It’s okay! I will just wait downstairs till they are done, and I will go in and finish it. I didn’t know that she wanted a threesome. I would have called some of my friends to come join us. They really said not to judge a book by its cover.’
Josh turned from the door and took a few steps just as a piercing scream penetrated the door, but he only shook his head and continued to the stairs, meeting that annoying boy from before. Josh frowned as his eyes landed on him but before he could finish his first words, the most unbelievable happened.
Rocky heard the scream as well, as the apartment had thin walls. His heart nearly dropped as he finally got to the top of the stairs, only to see the jerk of a boyfriend walking away nonchalantly.
Something broke in Rocky, and he mustered all his strength and punched Josh in the face, not even bothering to look at him or listen to him. Rocky bypassed him and cleared the distance to the door. He used all of his might to kick the door open, and the sight that greeted him was one that he would never forget in his life.
The kick was enough to unhinge the door, which fell partially on the first man who had been standing near it. Rocky stormed in, taking in the scene. His eyes were nearly red from all the anger and adrenalin pumping in his blood.
He jumped on the one who had fallen by the wall and stepped fiercely on his legs, snapping it into two from where his legs were partially lodged at an awkward angle underneath the door.
The man howled in pain, but Rocky was not done.
He turned to the one who was on the bed and on top of his beloved. Rocky had no idea where the extra strength was coming from, but he was not even thinking then. He yanked the second man off Ava and punched him hard in the face.
Even though it had only taken but a few seconds, the men in there had been too surprised to react. Rocky also dwelled on that element of surprise.
Bull-headed clutched his nose which was oozing with blood from Rocky’s one punch, and he turned his anger to meet that of the boy. Upon seeing who had dared punch him, he hesitated a bit but then lost all reasoning. He charged at Rocky, who had inserted himself between them and the girl.
Rocky watched him carefully and threw another punch, right at his neck and throat!
Level-headed thug screamed from the pain of the broken leg, the other stopped in his tracks, clutching his throat, his eyes bulging out of its sockets as he made gurgling sounds, trying to breathe.
