Chapter 1174: Kayden (2)
Tiana couldn't stand what Oliver did to her anymore, not only this time he hit her and made her lips bleeding because of the blow, but also this relationship was very toxic.
They had been together for more than eight months, but in the last four months his attitude had changed and two months ago, he had started to hit her.
At first Oliver would only hit her when he drunk and upset, but now, he even hit her when he was somber.
"Stop this!" cried Tiana. She tried to retaliate from Oliver's hand that was trying to touch her. Their problems always start with trivial matters, to something that involves principles. "You hurt me!" Tiana exclaimed, she was sobbing in pain.
She tried to throw the man with anything she could reach and escape from this d*mn house.
At first Tiana came because Oliver said that he was sick and asked her to bring some food, but after Tiana came, this man actually beat someone to a pulp and now was seriously injured.
Of course, instinctively, Tiana tried to stop him, but it turned out to be a boomerang for her, Oliver thought Tiana had feelings for the man that she had never even met before.
"I want us to break up!" Tiana screamed loudly. She looked at Oliver fiercely.
He was not the man that Tiana met eight months ago. She didn't expect that Oliver would act so horribly like this. How could the gentle figure of the man Tiana loved eight months ago turn into someone she completely didn't recognize anymore?
Or maybe this was Oliver's real character? Only, Tiana just saw it now.
"Break up?!" Oliver repeated the sentence, making Tiana shudder in horror, because she had a bad feeling that this wasn't going to end well. "You want us to break up so you can be with this asshole?" he hissed very sarcastically. He then kicked the man who had been helpless with so much force, causing Tiana to scream in terror again. "I will kill you both!"
"I don't even know him!" Tiana exclaimed, out of the corner of her eye, she could see a small knife near her and very slowly Tiana moved to take the knife. "I've never even seen him before!"
Oliver has gone too far. He dared to beat the stranger to death and now he dared to beat her too, those two things alone were enough for Tiana to conclude that Oliver was not only bragging when he said that he was going to kill them.
Tiana couldn't stand this man anymore and she wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Don't lie to me, you damn woman!" cried Oliver furiously, then with long strides he approached Tiana, but he stopped when he saw the woman pointing a knife in his face.
"Don't come near me, Oliver, don't come any closer! Or I will stab you!" Even though Tiana said it very loudly, it didn't mean that Oliver didn't notice her voice shaking with fear, so did the knife that was being pointed at him. The knife was unsteady in her trembling hand.
Seeing Tiana's wasted effort made Oliver smile very cynically. "You think you can hurt me with that knife?" he asked scornfully. "You wouldn't dare stab me," he said confidently.
Oliver knew Tiana enough to say that this woman couldn't even hurt a bug, so there was no reason for this little girl to be able to stab him.
"Do not come close!" Tiana screamed loudly. She walked backwards, away from Oliver, but at the same time closer to the exit door. She had to get out of here and run away from this madman.
If only she knew Oliver's true nature was like this, then Tiana would absolutely not want to know a man like him.
"What is it, honey?" he asked scornfully. "You want to hurt me? Stab me?" his mocking laughter could be heard, echoed through the living room. Meanwhile, the man he had beaten earlier seemed to have fallen unconscious. "You won't be able to do that."
"Do not come closer! I said don't come any closer!" Tiana then swung the small knife in her hand and almost hurt Oliver.
Stop shaking. Stop shaking. Tiana said to herself over and over again.
"You b*tch!" Oliver growled when he saw Tiana actually swung the small knife in her hand. "You really need to be taught a lesson!"
Seeing Oliver about to lunge at her, Tiana instinctively threw the knife and plunged it into his left shoulder.
The sound of the man's roar full of pain made Tiana unable to think of anything but escape from there. She no longer thought about which way she was going, because the only thing on her mind was to get as far away from him as possible.
The word 'fear' alone could not describe what she was feeling right now, because every particle inside her was no longer able to function properly, as Oliver's roar boomed and his footsteps stomped on the ground.
The man chased after her. He would get to her, and when it did, Tiana didn't want to think about what he would do to her later.
It was probably true what he said earlier that he was going to kill her. In this situation, it was very possible to happen.
Therefore, the only thing on Tiana's mind was to run, run as fast as she could, while Oliver chased after her.
Tiana ran through Oliver's large yard and over the fence, then ran along a quiet street, where not a single person could be seen.
Tiana had to run in the direction where a lot of people were gathering, because only then, Oliver would stop chasing her.
And when Tiana reached the T-junction, she saw a main road on her left. Since it was very late at night and there was not many people passed through this area, thus the road was deserted.
But at least, if Tiana found just one car and stopped it, then she would be able to survive Oliver's pursuit.
With that thought, Tiana ran with all her might towards the main road.
And when she saw a car headlight from the opposite direction, without thinking, Tiana jumped in front of it, which made the car to stop abruptly.
The screech of the tires was painful to her ears, but Tiana didn't have time for that. She had to leave before Oliver could reach her.
"Please, help me!" Tiana cried desperately, tapping rapidly on the side of the driver's car window.
Tiana couldn't see who was in the car, because the glass was too dark, but for sure, the person didn't give her response, while Oliver was getting closer.
At this point, Tiana was having a mental breakdown, she kept knocking on the car door. "Help me, please..." she sobbed.
On the other hand, Oliver was getting too close for Tiana to be able to escape from him, as there was no way he could outrun the angry man now.
And when Oliver was only a few steps away and Tiana thought she was at a dead end, the car door suddenly opened and a man stood between Oliver and her.
***
Kayden was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that he would meet his mate at a time like this, when he was in serious cold war with his father, and somehow, Selene decided this was the right time to add more.
But, it didn't seem like a problem about how he found his mate, but the problems faced by his mate that would become a new problem for him.
Whatever it was, Kayden must have dumbstruck when he saw the woman who would become his entire life, the woman who would be everything to him, who was now crying and scared, asking for help from him.
Wait, what's this?
And as if answering Kayden's question, the shifter could see a man, with blood on his shoulders, running towards his mate with a face that showed he was going to hurt this woman, his woman.
It was only when he realized that the danger that lurked his mate, Kayden rushed out of the car and stood between his mate and the man.
The man was the same height, but had body bigger than him, adorned with muscles. He might look strong and terrifying to a human, but sadly that standard didn't apply to Kayden.
"Stay away from me or I won't hesitate to beat you up!" The man threatened, roaring like a wounded animal.
In an instant, Kayden could tell that this man wasn't a shifter, and neither was his mate. They were both human.
"Get in the car," Kayden said in a calm voice, he even took the time to open the back door of his car for the girl.
"We have to get out of here," the girl said in a trembling voice. She was afraid of this man chasing her, but she still thought about Kayden's safety. Isn't she so cute?
"You don't have to worry about me, come on in," Kayden said again, reassuring her. Actually, Kayden wanted to stare at her mate for a long time and enjoy the moment of their first meeting, but unfortunately there were far more pressing things to do now.
Only, a moment later, the woman's eyes went wide and Kayden could see that her eyes were the color of bright green. She has beautiful eyes…
But then Kayden's body staggered to the side when he received a heavy blow from the big man.
Kayden didn't expect the attack because he was devouring his mate existence at this moment.
However, this man pissed him off…
