Trapped with a Lawyer

Chapter 163 Don't Touch Me

When he heard a woman's scream, Samuel rushed towards the house.

'Ella, hold on!

Do not be afraid.

Ella, I love you. I'm coming!' Samuel yelled in his mind.

Finally, he got there, out of breath. He stopped and looked around. Outside the house, he saw a small

woman lying on the ground. He looked closely and took a sharp breathe when he recognized her. It

was Ella. To his horror, he realised the men were sexually assaulting her.

His eyes turned blood-shot with rage. He realised he did not have much time. Though he was

outnumbered, he launched himself on the kidnappers.

The men freaked out. They hurriedly fastened their belts and ran towards the back of the house.

Samuel ran after them, managing to catch one by the shoulders. At that moment he wanted to beat him

to death. Suddenly, the four men who were running away cried out loud. On checking, he saw each

one of them drop. Samuel sensed that they were dead.

Ella sat up from the ground. She was confused and terrified at the same time. She noticed the four men

lying on the ground not far away from her. Everything happened too fast and she could not

comprehend what was happening.

Then Ella looked at the man Samuel was still beating. She noticed blood flowing from his nose. She

freaked out and called out weakly. "Samuel, my sweetheart..."

When Samuel heard Ella's voice, he mellowed. Ella's voice worked magic on his rage. He pushed the

man to the ground, released him and walked towards Ella. He stood there and looked at Ella. Although

he was a bitter man, he took off his suit jacket and bent down, draping it over Ella who looked

disheveled.

"Don't be afraid." Samuel held Ella's shaking body tightly in his arms and comforted her gently for

sometime. Then he raised his head and looked at the four dead men on the ground. There and then,

he realised that it was not a simple kidnapping stint by amateurs. It was a professional job.

Then he heard some movement. The man he had beaten and pushed to the ground was struggling to

stand up. He knew the man wanted to run away so Samuel stood up and walked to where he was,

seizing him by the collar.

"I'm very sorry. Please let me go. Do not kill me please. I had just touched her when you arrived." This

man was the one who had been branded a coward. He was the man who wanted to leave the house

and keep sentry.

Samuel shook his head fiercely. The man cried in pain.

"Tell me... who hired you to do this?" The man shook his head and would not confess. Samuel gripped

his neck tightly, the man finding it hard to breath.

The man's face flushed a bright red colour. Samuel loosened his grip. "Tell me!"

"I will confess... I will confess." The man started coughing, which lasted for some time.

Suddenly, Ella heard commotion. She knew help was coming. Ella turned and called out Samuel. The

suit jacket didn't totally cover Ella. She didn't want to be found by people like that. She needed to ask

Samuel for help. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Samuel turned and realized there were people coming towards where they were. He knew who the

people were. When they were near enough, he shouted, "Stop and wait for a while."

The sound of the heavy boots immediately stopped.

"Tell me now!" Samuel pulled him from the ground.

"I will confess. It was... Am..."

Bang! Bang!

The man was shot in the head, killed by a gun fitted with a silencer.

Samuel pushed away the body of the dead man and walked to Ella. He dropped to the ground and held

her in his arms. He wanted to protect her. Suddenly, something piqued his interest and he looked

around the compound. He saw a figure disappearing towards the southeast side of the compound.

"The southeast side, go and catch him!" He ordered. Several people rushed towards that direction.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Samuel held Ella tightly. He realized that the suit

jacket was only covering her upper body.

He took off his shirt and without hesitation he fastened it around her waist to cover her lower body,

resembling a skirt. Samuel was now shirtless.

Then he lifted Ella into his arms and started walking.

The sight of Samuel shirtless carrying Ella left people dumb-struck.

Seeing this, one of the police men took off his jacket and put it over Samuel's shoulders.

Samuel glanced at the jacket but did not resist even though he had some reservations.

"Thanks. All the people were killed. An investigation is needed into this matter." Ella buried her face into

Samuel's arms. He held her tightly and walked slowly towards his car.

The unfinished word came into his mind. A note of murderous intent flashed in his eyes and then

disappeared.

Samuel proceeded to his car and put Ella in the back seat.

"Samuel, sweetheart." Ella put her arms around Samuel's waist as soon as he straightened his back.

He took off the police jacket and put it aside. He bent and held her in his arms.

"It's alright."

'If Amber was indeed the mastermind behind the kidnapping, she will pay for it with her life.' Samuel

thought, determined to avenge on behalf of Ella.

Samuel entered the car and drove Ella to The Royal Mansion. He ran a nice hot bath for her first and

only left when she started bathing.

He went to the bedroom and made several phone calls.

When the police showed up where the filming crew was, Amber was in the midst of a kissing scene,

albeit absentmindedly. The police took her away.

The director wondered what happened to Amber. He learnt that she had been arrested by the police,

which came as a shock to everyone.

Eric blocked the news from spreading immediately. What bad luck! He knew that if the news spread

that the suspected mastermind of Ella's kidnapping was Amber, his TV play was in trouble.

Alas! Eric was anxious and wandered around aimlessly. The film crew missed Ella, and now Amber

had been arrested. He realised that he had no choice but to stop filming the play.

The Royal Mansion.

When Ella left the bathroom, she was wearing her nightgown. Samuel was on the phone being

informed that Amber had been arrested and had been detained at the police station.

Samuel hung up and turned. He saw Ella coming out from the bathroom and her face was ghastly pale.

This made Samuel feel distressed. He walked to her and held her in his arms.

Ella pushed him away.

"Don't touch me!" She... Ella closed her eyes. She forced herself to forget the flush of images that were

appearing in her mind.

Despite her resistance, Samuel managed to hug her again.

"Ella, stop thinking about what happened." This time, Samuel had arrived in time and those bastards

had only just touched her. When they wanted to go further, he had showed up.

"Don't touch me! Don't touch me!" She struggled out of his arms and rushed into the bathroom.

Samuel put his phone down and followed her into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Ella turned on the faucet and stood in the cold water wearing only her nightgown.

Samuel turned the water off and pulled Ella over towards him. She was shaking because of the cold

water.

"Samuel, get away from me. Get away from me!" She felt very dirty and needed to clean herself again

and again.

Ella's emotions were out of control. This reminded him of what had happened to her four years earlier

when Ella had been sexually assaulted.

This time, she had only been touched by the men, but her reactions were worse. Luckily, she was in

coma four years earlier. If she was sober, she would be crazy!

Ella wanted to turn on the faucet again but Samuel stopped her. He lowered his head and kissed her

trembling lips.

What had happened in the mud house was still lingering in her mind and Samuel's kiss made that

scene more and more clear.

"Hmmgh..." Samuel noticed the strange voice that Ella produced and let her hand loose.

Ella rushed to the toilet and threw up. Then she sat down on the floor.

'Someone had kissed me. Ewww...' Ella thought.

Samuel stood there looking at her. Ella continued sitting on the ground and throwing up. She was too

weak. Samuel was distressed at the sight. He went downstairs to pour her a glass of warm water.

Ella vomited until there was nothing left in her stomach and she was only throwing up bile. Then Ella

pressed the toilet's flush button and walked to the tap to rinse her mouth.

Samuel was on the phone outside the bathroom. "I have something to do today so I will not go."

Samuel hung up and answered another call immediately. "She was detained. So what? I have no time

to see her now."

After several other calls, the phone stopped ringing.

Ella was brushing her teeth in the bathroom. She brushed them again and again. It was like she had an

unknown obsession. Samuel was watching what she was doing.

Samuel couldn't stand it anymore and when Ella squeezed toothpaste on her toothbrush again, he

stepped into the bathroom, grabbed the toothbrush and threw it into the trash can.

Then he handed her the glass of water. "Drink some water."

Ella didn't resist and drunk the water. After that, she felt better.

After sometime, she took off her wet clothes, turned back and started walking towards the bathroom

again. Samuel stopped her.
