Rebirth Of The Heiress And The Tycoon's Lover (Alina) novel Chapter 16

ALINA’S POV

My eyes widened at the horrifying sight that greeted me.

Lucian had the sleeves of his black dress shirt rolled up as he punched the shit out of a guard. All twenty guards who were supposed to be stationed outside were in here.

Well, that explains their absence.

All the men were badly bruised, and it didn’t seem as though Lucian was anywhere near done with them

“I told you nothing is allowed in or out of this premises without my permission! And what did you do? You let her sneak out!” Lucian yelled between punches

The guard in question was a huge guy. I was sure that if he hadn’t been, he would’ve passed out by now.

“S–sorry, Boss.” The guard wheezed out

Lucian stopped his assault on him and turned to face the rest. They took a couple of steps back in fright.

“How did one tiny woman bypass all twenty of you, huh?” His voice was venomous “You were all hired because you came highly recommended–special forces, every last one of you, but what I realized today is that you’re just a bunch of fucking morons!”

His voice boomed, echoing through the room like a clap of thunder.

I had never seen Lucian this furious before. It terrified the bejesus out of me. Now I understood why Ace hadn’t wanted me to come in here. It looked like a war zone–if I could even call it that.

Lucian looked so lethal, so out of control, that I at last understood why people thought he was in the mafia

“You!” Lucian barked, pointing at a younger guard. I recognized him, it was the same man who had grabbed my arm when I tried to leave earlier today, “Come here.” He beckoned with his index finger.

He was visibly shaking as he stepped forward. I couldn’t help but feel bad for him. I don’t wish to be in his position.

Lucian’s hand shot out, gripping his collar as soon as he was within arm’s reach

“You’re new,” Lucian regarded him coldly.

“Y–yes.. b–boss.” He stuttered.

“I was told you laid your hands on my woman

“N–no, b–boss, 1—L‘

Lucian chuckled darkly at how nervous he was. “Didn’t anyone tell you you’re never allowed to touch her? Maybe I need to use you as an example.. so the rest will learn.” His voice was calm, almost casual, and that only made it all the more terrifying. “What hand did you touch her with?”

Lucian dragged him over to a nearby workbench covered with various tools. “Which one?”

“Id–didn’t know, Boss” The young guard pleaded, his voice thick with fear.

“Right it is.” Lucian picked up a pair of pliers, testing how sharp they were before bringing them toward the guard’s right hand.

I didn’t even know when the scream tore out of my throat.

Every head in the room snapped toward me. Before I realized what I was doing, my body was already moving–slowly approaching Lucian the way one would approach a wounded wolf.

Lucian’s eyes locked onto mine, it was filled with rage, relief, pain.. but mostly rage.

6:28 AM

“Why should I?” Lucian smirked, and it sent a shudder through me. “You’re the reason I’m hurting him.”
