Chapter 170: People like you are the reason why....

''I won't let you go, you little bitch'' Anthony said and pushed the bed towards Paige. She lost control of the shackles as the mental bed hit her and she fell.

Anthony walked closer to her weak body and squatted in front of her saying ''you thought you were smart, right? Now I will make you regret playing smart with me. Guards…'' he called out again impatiently ''where the hell are those fools?'' Anthony muttered and snatched the keys from Paige. He went and opened the door and a kick sent him flying back into the room. Jordan and two of the men walked in.

''Paige'' Jordan walked to Paige and the men took Anthony.

''Jordan, why didn't you come earlier. He almost, he almost…'' Paige choked on her words. Jordan helped her up and sat her on the bed before he turned towards Anthony.

''You are already late. I made her my woman, just a few minutes ago'' Anthony said.

''Really?'' Jordan said and punched his nose saying, ''someone said I will turn you into an ugly bastard when I come, so, I have to fulfil that first'' Jordan gave him another punch in the face and his nose broke. He turned to Paige and asked ''is there anything else I didn't do to him?''

''Yes, but I will be the one to do that'' Paige said and got down from the bed. She staggered to them and Jordan held her. Paige lifted her hand and hit him hard across his face before she pointed at his manhood saying ''can you make sure he never gets to use that again? I don't know how many women he has destroyed with that thing. Men like him are the reason why women can't walk around freely in this world''

Anthony's face turned ashen as he looked at the cold eyes of Paige and screamed ''you bitch''

''You heard her. Make sure he never gets to use that thing again'' Jordan said to the men and lifted Paige up, walking out of the ward. They heard Anthony's screams behind them.

Jordan opened the car and placed Paige who was clinging unto him into the seat gently but she refused to let go as her body shook uncontrollably. Jordan looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes.

''Is alright, you are safe now, Paige''

''Why did you come so late. I almost thought you weren't going to come for me. I thought nobody will come and rescue me''

''I'm sorry I came late'' Jordan hugged her as they sat at the backseat.

Jordan's house.

Carlien pushed Lucas aside and entered inside the house the moment they arrived at Jordan's house. She was so worried about Paige that she almost couldn't think straight. She saw Jordan walking down and rushed towards him.

''How is Paige?'' Carlien asked anxiously.

''She is fine. She just fell aside. Luckily, we found her early''

''Where did you send that son of a bitch? I am going to rip off his balls and sell them to a zombie who lacks balls. Did he eat the liver of a pig to be so audacious?'' Carlien said furiously.

Lucas looked at Jordan before turning to Carlien.

''You are such a vulgar little woman'' Lucas murmured.

''Yes, so, stay away from me or it's going to be your balls I will be venting my anger out on'' Carlien said back and Lucas coughed as he placed his hands protectively around his lower part.

''Would you like to wait for Paige to wake up? Is already getting late. She might wake up and ask for you'' Jordan said to Carlien.

''I will just spend the night with her. I already called Uncle Thom to inform him of what happened. I had to tell him the truth because it's something huge. I assured him Paige was fine, so he will wait for us at the house tomorrow''

''Sure. The room is the first one at your left. Everything you will need are inside there''

''Sure, good night'' Carlien turned to go and Lucas spoke.

''You are welcome, even though you didn't see my help as anything'' Lucas said to her.

''Should I give you a goodbye kiss?'' Carlien asked coquettishly stunning Lucas.

''Huh? Good… goodbye kiss?'' he asked flustered.

''You look so terrible Mr. Lucas'' Carlien said and chuckled as she shook her head and went upstairs.

''Did she just insult me?'' Lucas asked and looked at Jordan.

''Did you just realise it?'' Jordan asked and looked at him as if he was a kid before going to sit down.

''Jordan, this little woman and I can never get along. She is not gentle at all'' Lucas said as he sat across Jordan.

''Don't even try to mess with her. She is the best friend of my woman'' Jordan warned him knowingly.

''What? Wait, Jordan, I am your best buddy'' Lucas said finding the situation ridiculous.

Inside, Carlien sat on the bed closer to Paige and brushed her hair gently.

''Paige, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you and you got hurt again'' Paige snuggled into her arms startling her. ''Paige, you are awake?''

''I can't sleep, Carly. I keep having nightmares'' Paige said softly as she placed her head on Carlien's laps.

''Is alright. I am here with you. I know it won't be easy but you still need to sleep. You are safe now, so catch some sleep''

''I was so scared Carly. I knew he was acting suspicious but I never thought he was the brother of that scum. He even said I was the reason why his family fell apart''

''That insufferable bastard. He will get what he deserves''

''Carly, do you think I really deserve what I'm going through? First, it was my mom and dad. Now is myself. Why is life so hard, Carly? Did I do a lot of harm in my past life to be dealt this kind of cards?''

''None of this is your fault. You don't deserve everything that is happening to you. Paige, you are the kindest person I know. It is the fault of those people who only put the blame of the outcome of their wrong choices on the wrong people''

Jordan was about to go to his room when he heard them chatting and stopped at the door. He listened to everything they were talking about and felt bad for Paige.

####

The next day, Jordan drove them to their house where he met Thomas Payin waiting outside for them. Paige got down from the car and walked to her father who gave her a hug.

''My precious girl. How do you feel?'' Thomas Payin asked worriedly as she scanned Paige's body.

''I'm fine. Jordan found me early, dad'' Paige assured her father.

''Jordan, I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me. I don't know whether I would have been able to survive if anything had happened to my daughter''

''Uncle, you don't have to thank me, it is what I should do''

''For saving my daughter, I will acknowledge you as my future son in law''

''Dad, what are you saying?''

''Or do you want to pay him back with your body?'' Carlien whispered into Paige's ears and she flushed.

''I still have something to do. Paige, go in and rest. I will call you later'' Jordan said to them.

''Sure, you must be busy. If you have time, you can come for a meal sometime in the future''

''Sure. Paige, Carly, see you later'' Jordan said and got into his car. Paige watched as he drove away before she turned to her father.

'Dad, we are not official yet. How can you expose me like that?'' Paige said to her father and frowned.

''You still need assurance? He already saved you, what kind of attitude is that, Paige? Listen, you have to take the rest into your hands and confess to him. He might be the kind of man who shows his affections through his actions'' Carlien said.

''You think so?''

''Uncle, don't you agree with me?''

''You two should talk it out yourselves. I am not going to be a part of it. I have already acknowledged him as a son in law. The rest depends on your hard work'' Thomas Payin said and walked inside.

###

City B International Airport.

Jordan saw his little sister in her wheelchair and the caretaker pushing her outside and he walked to them.

''Elder brother''

''Jessi!!'' Jordan leaned down and hugged her ''welcome home baby sis''

''Thank you. I almost thought you wouldn't be able to come for me'' Jessi said.

''How could I do that? Let me take over'' Jordan said to the caretaker and took over. He chatted with Jessi as he wheeled her out of the airport.

''Is dad going to be with us on the day after tomorrow?'' Jessi asked and was met with silence. ''Your silence means no, right?''

''He will come and see you after his meeting''

''Did you tell him I wasn't going back to the states again after Mom's memorial?''

''Yes, he has no problem with that since you are going to be staying with me. You must be tired. I made Mama Jane to prepare your favourite soup, she will serve it to you when we get home''

''Yes, I can't wait. Elder brother, it feels so good to be back here again''

A few minutes after they left, another figure emerged out of the exit. She removed her shades and smiled as she gazed at the sky outside.

''I'm back at last. Jordan, I am back'' Yvonne murmured to herself as she pulled her luggage along.
