Chapter 120. When the uniform comes off.

Chapter 120: 120. When the uniform comes off.

Now I can’t even run any further. All I want now is to magically appear in my home, on my bed, with Duke’s heartbeat lulling me to sleep.

I can hear it... His heartbeat.

If I close my eyes and listen carefully, I can hear it. Beneath the sounds of crickets creating annoying music, I can hear his heartbeat and it’s calming me, making my eyelids heavy and sleepy.

Duke is probably looking for me now, right? And if I just wait here, he will find me eventually, right?

But what if before Duke finds me, Rowan does? God please help me.

"God please, help me." I begin to whisper prayers, "You’ve always come to my rescue. One way or another you’ve always been there for me. Even when I stubbornly walked a path that you did not lay out for me, you always brought me back on track. Even when I think all hope is gone, you always give me a reason to hope again. So dear God, I beg you, please rescue me from this new trouble. Help me find my way back home to my husband and children. Please Lord Jesus, save me from this predicament."

"Oh my love," my breath instantly ceases as I hear his voice sounding near me. "I always told you that man up there doesn’t listen to a word you’re saying." I’m trembling, tears are flowing down my cheek and I can’t even bring myself to say a single word. I’m just staring at the devil in front of me.

He found me.

I thought I ran a good distance, but he found me. I’ve become the foolish victim in a horror movie.

"Argh!" I cry out as his hand suddenly winds into my hair and he yanks me up to my feet.

"What is wrong with you Pagne," A hot slap lands on my face. "Why are you making me the bad guy?" Another slap lands on my face and this time it hurts more than the first one so I try to fight back even though I’m scared out of my mind.

"Stop struggling. Your struggle means nothing. I’m sure you’re just being like this because that bastard has poisoned your mind. But don’t worry, just a few days with me and you’ll be back to the old Chammy you once were. The one who loved me unquestionably and unconditionally."

This bastard is delusional.

With my elbow, I hit him in his stomach and his hold on my hair losens a little. "Arg! You bitch!" He yells and releases me as I slam my heels into his chest. I instantly take off. I can’t see what’s in front of me so I’m just running. Running as fast as my legs can carry me.

"Champagne!!" He yells my name and I can tell he’s already coming after me. I’m running as fast as I can even though I can barely see.

My legs hurting I can feel a sting there but I dare not pay attention to the pain in my bare feet I just have to keep running.

God help me, God give me a swift feet. God boost my speed. God give me strength, God please send help, I can’t run further.

I’m sweating, I’m out of breath and yet the fear of what will happen if I stop keeps me running.

Maybe I should scream, maybe someone might be hiking in these woods. Maybe if I scream I will get help. God please send help.

"Help!!" I begin to scream," Hel—ack." I choke on my breath as I continue running. "Somebody help me!!" I continue screaming at the top of my lungs.

"Champagne! Get back hear!!" He yells.

I can’t stop.

I mustn’t stop.

If I stop running, I’m finished.

"Help me!!" I scream again with all of the strength in me and at that moment, my leg slams into a rock or a tree that has been cut down. I don’t know what it is. I just know it’s something hard and I crash to the ground.

Instantly I move to rise to my feet but it’s already too late, I can hear his heavy breathing, I can see him standing in front of me, towering over me and it’s almost ironic that I can see the glistening annoyance in his eyes.

God, at this rate I might never see Duke again. And the twins, will they miss me? I wonder.

God it’s not too late. Please save me. Send someone... Anyone.

"You were not like this when we were married, it seems that bastard has been influencing you." He gets down in front of me and yanks my hair and what follows are consecutive slaps.

I’ve gone numb. I can’t feel my face. My ears are ringing and I can’t hear what he’s saying clearly but it’s something about teaching me a lesson.

And he’s yanking at my dress.

Dear God, he’s planning to rape me?

"NO!!" I scream and once again begin to fight and struggle to get out off his hold. "Let me go!! Let me go Rowan. Rowan don’t do this you bastard! Let me go!!’ I’m screaming, pulling my dress down as he yanks it back up and then out of nowhere, beneath my screams and his harsh curses, I hear a low echo of my my name.

Am I hearing things? I_it sounded like Alan.

Could it be?

"Help!!! Somebody help me!!" I scream while still trying to hold my dress together with one hand and fight Rowan with the other. "I’m over hear, anybody!!"

"Scream all you want, but no one is coming for you! You are mine to do as I please." He says, "Struggle all you want but you’re only making me more excited. You said that bastard is better, right? Let’s see what you have to say after this."

His trying too grab hold of my hands so he can pin me down but I know the moment he can secure both my hands in one place, he’ll be able to hold my legs between his legs and it is finishes then. So I continue fighting. I try to knee him in his crotch but he keeps blocking.

"Oh champagne, fight! Fight harder!!"

"Help!! Oh God, please help me." I say with a broken voice. I can only fight so much. Please God send—

"You son if a bitch!!!" I hear a familiar voice scream from a distance and before I know what is happening Rowan is flying off me, and someone is rushing at him, punching him endlessly.

At the same time, someone is holding in to me asking me if I’m okay...

It takes me a while to realize that the person crouched down next to me is Alan and the one throwing punches at Rowan is Duke.

And at that realization comes a burst of hot tears. Huge flashlights are now streaming in from every corner, and Alan covers me up with his coat. I can hear the sound of multiple feet crushing dried leaves, I can see people running towards Duke, trying to pull him off Rowan.

I want him to look at him. I want him to see me.

"Duke!!!" I scream his name with tears flowing and his hand hangs in the air about to descend on Rowan, then he turns and stares at me and thanks to the lights I can see his contorted expression, I can see the tears held back in those eyes.

And now that he’s looking at me, now that I know he’s seen how badly that bastard beat me, I can say to him...

"Punch the scum of a bitch harder!!!" I yell. There’s no point telling him to stop.

The people who I’m now realizing are officers all turn to me and stare at me in shock.

They shouldn’t pull him off him, they should let him punch that bastard harder. After what he did to me today he deserves every punch he is getting.

"He slapped me so hard, multiple times too. If they arrest him and take him in, he won’t get the beating he deserves so beat the shit out of that bastard before he goes anywhere. Break his bones if you must."

"Ma’am, we are sorry for what happened to you but we can’t let that happen." One officer with an accent says and I stare at Duke who doesn’t look like he cares about anything the officer just said.

"That is what I will normally say because I’m a officer off the law." The officer suddenly adds. "But then when I take of this uniform." The man suddenly unbuttons his shirt and takes it off with his hat and hands it over to another officer, leaving him in nothing but a white round neck shirt and his pants, "And I take off this badge," He takes off his badge and tosses it to the other officer. "I’m just a countryman in the big city, a father to two beautiful teenage daughters, a husband to a lovely wife, a brother to a sister in her late twenties and a son to a mother. And when someone messes with one of the women in my life, I beat the shit out of them of them." Oh dear.

"And guess what, I’m supposed to be off duty right now, so I’m not a cop. Just a countryman and that son of a bitch is about to get the beating of his life."
