Chapter - 32


    Sophia''s POV


    " Okay, it''s fixed then. ." Char said.


    " Yeah , be ready by 5. Bye , Char." Just as I put my phone down, Caleb came in.


    " Where to ?" He put a hand around my shoulder.


    " Movie." I got up from the sofa to make two cups of coffee. He always prefers the coffee I make , every


    time hees.


    " Is it today?" He trailed behind me.


    " Yup." He was silent for some seconds before asking his next question.


    " And Char''sing?" I smiled to myself. How I saw thising!


    " Yup." I said popping the ‘p’.


    He was again quiet for a very long time before speaking again.


    " Mind if I crash ?" He scratched the back of his neck. I suggestively wiggled my eyebrows to which he


    blushed.


    " Is little Caleb blushing?" I teased while handing him the coffee mug.


    " Shut up." He looked embarassed.


    " Aww , you look so cute ." I made a baby face at him .


    " Cute ? You''re calling me cute ?" He was sounding offended. I nodded at him and he huffed.


    " Forget it. I''m not going anywhere with you." He crossed his arms against his chest, causing me to


    chuckle at his behavior.


    " You know what , Ethan acts more mature than you. Anyway , feel free to crash our movie date. I am


    sure Char will like it." I winked at him .


    " 5 it is then. " I nodded .


    ..........


    " Water , please." I asked the bartender.


    " Water !? You don''t drink ?" Caleb looked genuinely curious.


    " I do , sometimes. " I responded to which he nodded in understanding.


    " Let''s dance ." Char grabbed our hands and pulled us to the dance floor.


    We pushed past sweaty bodies and made our way to the centre. After sometime, I saw Char and Caleb


    dancing together. They looked so lost into each other . I excused myself from there and made my way


    back to the seat.


    " A Vodka Martini , please."


    " Right away." The bartender smiled at me.


    As I sipped on my drink, I saw Caleb and Char dancing together. The whole day , they were flirting and


    smiling. They were focused more on each other than on the movie. Though Char shows a bit of


    disinterest but I know that this was fake. She was just as interested as Caleb was. So after the movie


    we went for dinner at a restaurant and finally ended up in the club on Char''s request.


    " Let me pay this lovelydy a drink." I saw a tall, well built man sitting beside me with a creepy smile


    on his face. Aparatively shorter man was sitting on my other side mirroring the same creepy


    expression.


    " No, thanks." I tried being polite.


    " I insist." The shorter man ced a hand on my thigh.


    " And I refuse. " I pushed his hand away from my thigh and got up to search for Char.


    I had merely taken two steps when all of a sudden, my arm was gripped by a strong hand. A strong


    hand was covering my mouth and I was pulled to a room . The shorter man closed the door behind him


    and took menacing steps towards me while the taller one was holding me back.


    " Leave me right now. Let me go!" I yelled, ring at them hard while my heart thumped against my


    chest.


    " We tried being polite but you prefer the hard way." The tall man was kissing my neck while I tried


    getting away. The urge to vomit was getting stronger by each passing second.


    " Let me go you bastard ." I thrashed around in his hold. The shorter one pped me across the face


    and Inded on the floor. My cheeks were stinging from the burning sensation and tears gathering in


    my eyes.


    " Shut up bitch. Don''t act hard to get." Both of themughed maniacally at this. To say I was scared


    was an understatement.


    They backed me up against a wall and started kissing every portion of my body. I was feeling so


    disgusted but couldn''t move a bit . They had me in a tight grip and all I could do was squirm.


    As one of them was tugging at my shirt , I started squirming a lot . The tall one backhanded me. I could


    feel a metallic taste from my lips.


    " Stop resisting ! Else we will make it more difficult for you." He spat and ripped away the shirt from my


    body. Hands were groping my breasts. I clenched my eyes shut at the shame I was facing. Tears rolled


    down my cheeks. I was hoping for someone to rescue me but that seemed impossible.


    I was waiting for this to be over and suddenly the hands were not there on my body anymore. I opened


    my eyes to see them being beaten by Caleb and ..... Nick !?


    ..................


    Nick''s POV


    I was in my office when I received Caleb''s message.


    "Just for your information. We are heading to the Star Club ."


    Club !? Sophia told me about movie and restaurant. I wanted toe with her but I had some work. I


    was rxed at the thought that Caleb was with him. But club... Ughh! I couldn''t imagine her alone in


    the club amongst those horny men. Fine , she wasn''t alone but I still wasn''tfortable with the idea .


    So I decided to go there.


    I parked the car in the parking lot of the club and got in. Taking a nce around , I couldn''t find them,


    so I called Caleb.


    " Hello " He picked up at the second ring.


    " Caleb , man where are you ?" I looked around to find him.


    " Oh , I can see you. I''ming there ." Saying this he hung up. I saw him and Charlotte making their


    way towards me. I looked behind them to search for Sophia but she wasn''t there.


    " Hey man!" Caleb patted my back.


    " Where''s Sophia?" He looked at the bar and his smile faded from his face.


    " She was at the bar. She told that she was tired and couldn''t dance anymore, so she excused herself


    to get a drink." Caleb exined and the fear started creeping into my heart.


    I ran to the bar and she wasn''t there. In an instant I was panicking from the scenarios going on in my


    head. I shook head in attempt to shake away those thoughts.


    " Maybe , she''s in the washroom." Caleb suggested.


    " Or not. This is Sophia''s bag." Charlotte showed us a silver bag . Her eyes were filled with dread and


    concern.


    We instantly took off and started checking every room. When I pushed open the door to a room in a


    secluded corner, what I saw had my blood boiling.


    Two men had backed Sophia up against a wall. Her shirt was ripped open while the men were touching


    her body. Tears were streaming down her face.


    I pulled one of them up holding his shirt while Caleb did the same with the other one. I started throwing


    punches repeatedly. Even after breaking his nose, I was seeing red. To vent out the anger , I stood up


    and delivered kicks to his side.


    " How. Bloody. Dare. You?" I yelled each word with one kick to his side.


    " Nick leave him." I heard Caleb but I couldn''t bring myself to stop beating the man. I was feeling this


    intense urge to kill him.


    " You will hardly breathe when I am done with you." I gritted at the man.


    " Nick." I heard a quivering voice and my leg stopped midway. I turned to look at Sophia who was


    staring at me. She had her legs pulled up closed to her body. Charlotte was sitting beside her rubbing


    her back. It was as if all my anger had melted into concern. I immediately ran to her and crouched


    down infront of her. I cupped her cheek and looked at her face. Her cheeks were bruised and her lips


    were bursted . At this sight , my desire to kill those men was bing more strong.


    " Nick." She breathed out while hugging me like her life depended on it. She was sobbing in my chest


    and trembling.

    " Sshh baby , it''s okay. I am here now. Ssh, everything is fine now ." I stroked her hair in an attempt to


    calm her down.


    " Sophia we need to get out of here. Let''s go home." I spoke in a soft voice to get no answer from her.


    Taking my zer off, I put it around her and buttoned it up. I looked back at Caleb who nodded his


    head , assuring that he would take care of those men.


    I carried her out of the club in bridal style . She pushed her face in my chest. to avoid looking at


    anyone. Coming outside, I ced her in the passenger seat and put her seatbelt on. I quickly settled in


    the driver''s seat and drove off to our house. On the way back home, she was continuously sobbing


    while looking down at herp.


    Seeing her like that was paining me a lot. I wanted to take away the horrible encounter, the feeling of


    those men''s touches , the agony of her but I couldn''t. I was feeling so helpless. This could have been


    avoided if I would have been there. If I would have taken some time out to apany her. It''s all my


    fault dammit. I cursed under my breath and drove faster to reach home.
