Tormenting Her Innocence novel Chapter 4

After leaving Kaya's home, Damien was striding towards his car. He reached his car and then shoved his hand in his coat's pocket to take out his keys.

Damien took out his keys but along with the keys, he saw a folded page coming out of his pocket and then it fell on the ground. His brows wiggled in confusion. Lowering his body, Damien grabbed that page and then unfolded it, and the second he read what was written on it, his eyes widened.

'Please help me, uncle. I don't want to go with him. He hurted me a lot. I was running away from him. He is a bad person. He will hurt me again. Don't let him take me, please…..help me…'

Damien knew who had written that letter because he had become familiar with her handwriting in the past couple of days. So, that was why she was looking so terrified and was crying.

Turning his head, Damien gazed at that closed door where he had just left her. Fisting that paper in his palm, Damien dashed towards it.

He kicked open the door, causing it to burst open, and wrath engulfed each and every part of his body by witnessing her state. She was sitting on the floor, against the wall. Her hands were joined as she was begging to that animal who was towering over her.

Paul turned his head and his eyes bewildered, watching Damien standing at the door. His piercing blazing gaze was looking treacherous. He darted his eyes at Kaya and her tears and that terror in her eyes told him everything. His jaw clenched, vigorously. Even a blind could understand what brutality he was about to do to her. It made Damien see red. Fishing out his gun from his pocket, he pointed it straight at Paul who was looking horrified now .

Damien stepped inside, without taking his burning eyes away from Paul's. In pure instinct, Paul took his steps backward.

"Come here, Kaya," Damien uttered, glaring at Paul.

Kaya turned still in fear by watching that gun in Damien's hand. Damien trailed his gaze at her. His eyes softened, witnessing her state.

"Come here, dear. I will never hurt you,"

Kaya wiped her eyes. That poor soul didn't know what to do but it was better than to stay with that pathetic animal, Paul. She tried to walk towards Damien but Paul grabbed her arm in the middle.

"Get out of my house, right now, Damien Karlson. It's between her and me, so you have no need to get involved in it," Paul spat at Damien. Kaya hissed the way he was clutching her arm. A vein on Damien's neck stretched out.

"Leave….her…..alone," Damien stressed out each and every word of his. It turned Paul more terrified, but he decided to show Damien his authority.

"It's our family matter. You….." Paul's words remained incomplete whereas a painful scream escaped from his mouth, feeling that bullet piercing through his hand. His grip loosened around her.

Pure terror washed over Kaya by watching the blood oozing from his hand. She got away from him. Paul turned his head and saw Damien's gun still aiming at him. His gun didn't cause a noise but the smoke scattering around his gun's barrel indicated its usage. The pain shooting all over his arm, made Paul fall to the floor. He started groaning in pain.

Lowering his gun down, Damien turned his head towards Kaya. That poor kid was looking traumatised in fear. Damien walked towards her and then kneeled in front of her.

"Was he trying to hurt you again?" He asked her. Kaya remained silent, but her tears didn't. Damien placed his palm over her face gently.

"Tell me, Kaya. Don't be afraid, my child. Tell me the truth and I promise, I will never let him even get closer to you, let alone harming you. Tell me, dear. Was he trying to hurt you again?"

His words finally gave her the courage she had lost all this time. Her tears turned aggressive as she nodded her head in her reply to Damien. Damien dug his nails in his palm.

Standing up on his feet, he held her little palm in his. He averted his eyes at Paul who was writhing in pain on the ground.

"I would give you what you deserve, Paul, but not in front of this kid," Damien's hands were itching to take that bastard's life who was hurting and harming that innocent soul of hers, but he didn't want that little girl, Kaya, to witness such things which would haunt her throughout her life.

Damien took Kaya out of that house and she just followed him silently because she was desperate to get away from Paul's cruel crawls anyhow.

Damien opened his car's door and settled Kaya inside it. He locked her seatbelt and then closed the door. Before getting to his driving seat, he took out his phone and then dialled a certain person's number.

"I have texted you the address. Come to that place right now, Leo,"

…………….

Zia was chopping vegetables for their dinner when she heard the doorbell ringing. Dropping the knife, she cleaned her hands with the apron she was wearing and then walked out of her kitchen.

She opened the door and found her husband standing at the door.

"Damien, you…." Her words halted when her eyes darted towards that person who was standing beside him.

"Kaya?" Her brows furrowed in untidiness. Stepping away, she let both of them come inside. Zia closed the door. She couldn't understand what was happening there. He had gone to drop her and her uncle, Paul, to their home, then what she was doing there with him?

"Damien,"she took his name. Damien understood her confusion. With a soft sigh, he took out that letter which Kaya had slided inside his pocket. Damien handed it to his wife, Zia.

She turned more perplexed. Zia grabbed that page from him and then looked at Kaya who had her head lowered. Opening the letter, Zia started reading it.

First she didn't comprehend what was written in it but when she did, Zia felt like heart went numb. Her eyes broadened.
