Chapter 95
Crazy Intruder Raegan’'s legs turned to jelly.
Her knees began to ache.
The only thing she could use as a weapon was the flashlight in her hand.
With a creak, a door was pushed open.
Raegan looked around the room.
It was empty.
There wasn't even a place for her to hide.
In the end, she had to go behind the bedroom door and stand against the wall with the flashlight raised.
The sound of approaching footsteps was very light, but it was loud enough in the quiet night.
With every step the man took, Raegan's heart trembled.
Her hands began to shake.
She said a silent prayer, hoping that the man who broke in only wanted some money and that he would leave once he saw that the place was deserted.
But it seemed her prayer didn't get anywhere.
She continued to hear the doors being opened one by one The frightening footsteps continued, sounding closer and closer to her bedroom.
A shadow was soon cast through the space under the door.
Raegan saw the doorknob move gently.
Her heart began to pound so hard that she clenched the flashlight nervously.
Raegan knew she had only one shot.
If she missed it, she would be damned.
Creak! The old wooden door was opened bit by bit.
A man with a beard suddenly appeared in front of Raegan.
Bang! Raegan hit his face hard.
The flashlight fell to the ground with a clang.
The man stumbled backward, holding his face as he groaned.
Raegan seized the opportunity to slam the door wide open.
But before she could make a run for it, a hand grasped her ankle.
"Ha-ha...
You beauty...
You smell so good...” It was crystal clear that the man was sick in the head and also very strong.
With one pull, Raegan lost her balance.
She supported herself with her elbows, so she didn't slam her face on the floor.
The crazy man stood up and dragged her toward the bed.
Raegan was scared to death.
She kicked so hard that the shoes at her feet fell to the floor.
When she pulled back, all that was left in the man's hand was a sock.
She shot to her feet and ran out of the room for her dear life.
She also screamed for help.
Unwilling to let her go, the man ran after her.
Raegan looked back in fear.
Suddenly, she ran into a wall and almost lost her balance.
She was trying to steady herself when another hand grabbed her.
Shit! There were two men? At this time, there was only one thought on Raegan’s mind...
It wasn’t just one man, but two! "Ah! Let go of me!” Raegan opened her mouth wide and bit the arm that held her.
Her teeth sank into the flesh, and soon, her mouth was filled with the metallic taste of blood.
The man being bit hissed and pinched her jaw with his hand, forcing her to let go of his arm.
“What's wrong with you?" An impatient voice was heard at the same time.
Raegan looked up and saw Mitchel’s handsome face under the moonlight.
She stared at him blankly.
Was this an illusion? Did her brain start malfunctioning after the hitting? At the sight of the tears on her delicate face, Mitchel’s hard face softened instantly.
"Are you okay?” The familiar voice rang in Raegan's ears, jarring her back to her senses.
She instantly grabbed his collar and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, thank goodness you are back...” She burst into tears with her face on his chest.
What did she mean by that? Had she been waiting for him? Her words sent Mitchel’s heart skipping a beat.
He had planned to leave for Ardlens this afternoon.
But he changed his mind last minute.
There was a bad feeling that he couldn't shake off.
He didn't think it was a good idea to leave Raegan all alone in this remote place.
So, he made a U-turn and parked not too far away.
He waited for the lights to go out.
It didn't take long before he noticed that the front door was open.
That was strange, so he came over to check it.
He couldn't have come at a better time.
Mitchel stroked Reagan's head.
He soon noticed something.
His expression changed instantly.
He took off his suit jacket, put it on her, and then said, "Wait here." Raegan, who was sitting wrapped up in Mitchel’s jacket, heard the muffled sound of fists come from a distance.
It was followed by the screams of a man.
Her body no longer trembled.
She felt safe now.
Shortly after, sirens and the flashing of lights came from outside.
Some of the neighbors that heard Raegan's cry had called 911.
The cops slammed the man to the ground and put him in handcuffs.
Then, an officer came to them.
"The man has a criminal record.
He pretends to be homeless so he can stalk beautiful young ladies before taking advantage of them." Bloody hell! He must have seen Raegan cleaning the house this afternoon.
The officer's words reminded Raegan of the man's terrible face.
She shivered in fear.
As the bad guy was dragged away, his face was swollen and bloodied.
He licked his lips at Raegan and sniffed. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Hmm...
Beautiful...
You smell good...” Goosebumps prickled Raegan's skin as she felt sick in her stomach.
Mitchel picked Raegan up and walked directly to his car.
After strapping her in, he wanted to turn around to slip into the driver's seat, but she grabbed his wrist and said pitifully, "I left something in the house.” "Don't worry.
We will come back for it tomorrow,” he said, patting her hand gently.
Hearing these assuring words, Raegan didn't say anything more.
She just leaned back and closed her eyes.
Her heart was still beating hard though.
Mitchel wanted to drive back to Ardlens.
But now that Raegan was clearly not feeling well, he changed his mind.
He found a hotel nearby.
As soon as he walked into the room, Mitchel frowned.
The interior was worse than any hotel room he had stayed in his entire life.
However, he could only make do with it because this was considered the best in town.
He asked the staff to change the toiletries and all the beddings into disposable ones.
Then, he ran Raegan a hot bath and told her to take a good soak.
Raegan stood at the threshold of the bathroom door.
She didn’t want to be alone in the bathroom.
The lingering fear made it impossible for her to think straight.
With her shaky fingers, she tugged at Mitchel's shirt and asked something she would never have in the past.
"Mitchel...
Can you bathe with me?” The fear in her eyes was evident.
Mitchel squinted and asked, "Are you sure?" Raegan was in a daze.
She neither nodded nor shook her head.
But right now, no one else could comfort her like Mitchel.
She remembered when he held her in his arms and his chest felt warm against her face.
It was the sort of feeling that she longed for.
A hint of ambiguity quietly grew in the air.
Raegan was scalded by Mitchel's intense gaze.
It was now too late to withdraw her hand.
Mitchel held her and then reached behind her to unzip her dress.
After stripping her naked, he picked her up and took her into the bathtub.
As she got soaked in the warm and soapy water, Raegan held his hand and said with a flushed face, "I can do it myself." Mitchel gently pushed her hand away and insisted in a hoarse voice, "Relax, I won't step out of line.” To prove that he had no ill intentions, he kept a straight face the whole time.
This made him look more like a gentleman.
But every time his hand touched her skin, it felt so caressing and a little hard at the same time.
Raegan's head was drawn back as she sat in the tub.
She didn't even look at him.
After bearing it for a while, she couldn't take it anymore.
“Well, that's enough.” Mitchel raised his eyebrows.
When he saw that she was serious, he helped her out and dried her body with a clean towel before putting a night robe on her.
After taking her to the bedroom, he went to take a shower.
By the time he emerged from the bathroom, Raegan was already lying on the bed peacefully.
It was hard to tell whether she was pretending or not.
Mitchel gently lifted the blanket and got into bed.
He pulled her into his arms and rested his chin on the crown of her head.
When he felt her shudder a little, he raised a corner of his lips and uttered softly, "Raegan, the baby is mine, right?"
