Chatper 508


    Toward the end of the party, Derek was chatting with the models who came to ost him. Out of the


    corner of his eye, however, he noticed that some women were hogging Natalie as well. He suddenly


    had the feeling that something was not right.


    “Excuse me. I need to go and check on a friend.” He nodded apologetically to the models and headed


    in Natalie’s direction.


    Kathie acted quickly and stood in Derek’s way. “Have you lost allmon sense? Natalie is a wee


    guest here. Why do you have to meddle in her affairs? Don’t tell me you actually fancy her.”


    Derek looked her up and down. “It looks like you brought a few extra outfits tonight. Aren’t you afraid


    that I’ll identally spill some wine on you again?”


    “Derek!” Kathie red at him, her eyes filled with grievance. “Are you having fun bullying me like this? I


    just want to dance with you.”


    “As you can see, I’m currently unavable.” Derek made to walk past her, but Kathie stopped him yet


    again.


    “You embarrassed me in front of all those people. Even so, I’m not mad at you. Can’t you even grant


    me such a simple request?” Her voice had turned soft, and tears welled up in her eyes.


    After mulling it over for a while, Derek did think that his behavior from earlier was a bit out of line.


    Besides, it would be uncharacteristic for him to refuse a woman’s invitation, and a beautiful one at that.


    With a small, resigned sigh, he held out his hand. “Please do me the honors, Miss Jimenez.”


    Kathie beamed as she ced her hand in his. “Don’t worry. I’m an excellent dancer. I won’t step on


    your feet.” By the time their dance was over, the party was already winding down.


    Derek made his way to the bar counter just in time to see Natalie being taken away by the models she


    was with.


    They kept talking andughing as they went. Wilder sidled up next to him and said, “It’s time for us to


    head back.”


    He followed the direction of Derek’s gaze and smiled. “Stop staring at them. They’re all girls, anyway.


    Nothing bad is going to happen to Natalie. Now, let’s go.”


    The hour waste, and the cold night wind was blowing. The wind caused Natalie to sober up a little.


    However, her legs and feet still remained frail, and she was unable to walk.


    “Where are you taking me?” Natalie opened her eyes in a daze to take a look at the models who were


    supporting her.


    Like silver bells, theughter of the models were crisp in Natalie’s ears. “We’re getting you back to the


    hotel. You’re drunk. Sleep well now. We’re women just like you; it’s not like we’re gonna hurt you. We’ll


    get you back safely.” The two models had already ced Natalie in the car as they were talking. They


    sat on either side of her, left and right, sandwiching her in the middle.


    Natalie felt so drunk, she bent her head to rest on the shoulder of one of the female models, and then


    she shut her eyes to rest. It didn’te to her attention that the scenery outside the window slowly


    switched from the lively high-rise buildings to a grim woond, veeringpletely away from the


    direction the hotel was in.


    Some time passed, and Natalie was jolted up slightly from a low ring in her bag. She fought to keep her


    eyelids open, brought out her phone, and took the call. It was Brandon calling.


    “Where are you, honey? I’lle get you.”


    Natalie felt herself rx in the soothing sound of his voice. She nced out the window and replied,


    “I’m headed back to the hotel right now.” The road however, appeared a little dark, and she was unable


    to see the exact road the car was on. Being so drunk, Natalie could barely put two and two together.


    She didn’t think on it too much.


    Brandon was not pleased. “The man who carried you earlier, is he the one who sent you back?”


    “No.” Natalie massaged her aching temples and took a look at the models next to her. She said, “They


    are female models. They told me they’d get me back to the hotel.”


    Natalie’s voice sounded a bit unclear and odd. Brandon felt anxious. “Are you drunk?”


    “Hmm… It’s odd. I indeed drank a ssor two, however, I just began to feel so dizzy all of a sudden…”


    Natalie started feeling something was off herself as well.


    Brandon’s voice came out low this time. “Stay alert. Something could be off about the models around


    you.” Immediately the words left his mouth and went across the phone, he heard a noise from the other


    side.


    Inside the car, there was a short panic. The two models beside Natalie roughly plucked her phone


    away immediately after they noticed her on a phone call. “You’re drunk. You shouldn’t be answering


    calls. Just enjoy a good sleep. We’ll wake you when we get to the hotel.” The model hurriedly ended


    the call.


    “Why did you hang up?” Natalie attempted collecting the phone back, but it had already been switched


    off. She had a feeling something was off. Looking out the window, she could only see the shadow of


    trees. Struggling to hang on to her consciousness, she croaked weakly, “Where are you taking me?


    This way, this is not how to get to the hotel.”


    The model gave her a smile and saidfortingly, “A traffic jam was ahead so the driver is taking


    another route. No need to worry. We’ll get you back safely.”


    The female model with short hair sitting in the front row turned as well to give Natalie a willful smile.


    “Just sleep. We’ll be getting there soon.”


    Natalie leaned back in her seat, feeling uneasy. Everything was so odd. Her instincts screamed at her


    to get out of the car and flee as far away as possible, but her b*ody was too heavy. Her eyelids seemed


    to have an evesting weight hanging on them and the sleepiness enveloped her entire system.


    Natalie fell into another deep sleep with no resistance.


    The first thing Natalie saw when she opened her eyes again was a bright incandescentmp. She


    rolled her sore neck and took a look around. She then discovered that she had not gotten back to the


    hotel; she was instead in a much smaller room. And she was surrounded by a lot of obscene looking


    men.


    They were dressed in stained tank tops and jeans. Their smiles were terrible, exposing their dirty,


    yellow teeth. “Come on, let’s have some fun together.”


    Natalie instantly let out a piercing screech. She grabbed the bedsidemp and waved it at the ugly man


    in her front. She was outnumbered, unfortunately. In a matter of seconds, her hair was yanked by the


    buff-looking man, and he pulled her under him.


    He forcibly pressed himself on her and she could smell his terrible breath as he spoke. “There are a lot


    of men in here. Resisting is useless, so why don’t you instead spread your legs and enjoy yourself?”


    Other men behind the manughed and whistled. “Exactly, we’ll make your eyes roll with joy.”

    “Let go of me!”


    Natalie’s eyes pooled with tears. Just as the man’s fingers were about reaching under her dress, all of


    a sudden, there was a loud noise at the door.


    A guy kicked the door in with his foot. Itnded on the floor with a dull thump, scattering dust.


    “I can’t believe you have the balls to touch my woman! You have one of your feet in the grave already!”


    Brandon appeared out of control with his eyes widely open.


    He clenched his hands and lifted the muscr guy on Natalie. Afterward, he mmed the man up


    against the wall.


    The men surrounding them were so terrified that they opened their jaws wide, not even thinking about


    stopping him.


    Brandon grabbed the man by the cor and swiftly and viciously punched him in the face. Not until they


    saw theirrade incapacitated and beaten ck and blue did the other guyse to their senses


    and rushed forward to fight Brandon.
