"Don't you want to get rid of me? As long as you satisfy me tonight, I'll let you go," Pierce grinned wickedly as he roughly dragged Eliz out.
As Pierce had taken the driver's seat, tears were suddenly leaking out from Eliz's eyes. She grabbed his arm, shaking it. "Where are you taking me? Let me go! I said, let me go!"
"Move, and I'll throw you into the zoo with the boa constrictor for the night!" Pierce turned, snarling at her.
Imperial Palace Casino
It was one of the biggest casinos in Milan. It was a home for millionaires and gangsters. It was where many got rich overnight while others went bankrupt. Not only that, but it was also where plenty of deals were made. It was the most dangerous place in Milan.
The five men were from the Dragon Group, the ones who had been staying in the underworld all year round. This room was their exclusive territory. Though Pierce had nothing to do with them, their leader had always respected him, so they had more neutral relations.
The men, meanwhile, stood up, bowing their heads in greeting. "Mr. Aleotti, welcome. What can I do for you?"
Pierce sneered, "I give you a woman. Remember, take your time. Play her one by one."
He loosened his grip on Eliz and pushed her towards the men.
Eliz glanced at him in disbelief. 'Would he actually leave me here with these gangsters? Five men...Would he allow me to be raped by these five men?' Eliz thought in her heart.
As if it couldn't get any worse, Pierce took out his phone and directed it towards them. It seemed that he was trying to record a scene.
Holding back her tears, Eliz tried to keep her composure. However, at the moment, she was already having a hard time breathing, the putrid smell of alcohol and sex making her want to vomit.
The five men licked their lips, pouncing at her like a pack of hungry wolves. One looked at her beautiful face and proportioned body, and there was no way to hide the pure excitement and lust in their gaze.
The leader of the pack stared lustfully at Eliz, approaching her like a predator stalking its prey. She glanced at Pierce in panic, shooting an SOS signal at him, but he didn't look bothered by it. In fact, Pierce didn't even move an inch.
Eliz had never expected Pierce to fall in love with her. But now, she couldn't even get him to sympathize with her.
"Stay back!" Eliz was already running around the room, trying to avoid the men. 'Is this really what Pierce wanted?' she thought to herself.
She sobbed as three men rushed to catch up with her.
When Eliz was being pulled by three other men, she found that she couldn't move anymore. She was trapped. The leader moved forward, grinning wolfishly at her. He pulled down his zipper and unbuttoned his belt. "Come on, love, don't struggle. This could be fun."
"Bah!" Eliz spat in his face.
Eliz didn't care whether Pierce would know how to love her. But she would rather die than be touched by these bastards.
With one big stride, she grabbed the bottle and raised it high above her head.
All five men stopped what they were doing, eyeing the bottle she was holding. 'Will she use that to hold us off? She's got guts.'
Eliz took one last look at Pierce, only to see that he was still watching through the phone indifferently. The light cast a shadow across his face, making him look stony and cold.
She smashed the bottle against the wall, its shards falling to the floor. Without another word, she cut her right hand using the debris left.
'Suicide!
Is she crazy?'
Blood spurted from the cut,spilling through the carpet . The men froze, unsure what to do anymore as they watched her.
As Pierce strode towards them, he could see the cold smile on Eliz's face. It was filled with despair and sadness.
Seeing Pierce running over, Eliz used the glass to cut her wrist one more time.
"Are you crazy?" Pierce looked at her in disbelief, with his eyes becoming red.
He wasn't going to let anyone hurt her in the first place. All he wanted was just for her to ask him, just to ask him for a favor, but she never said it.
"Pierce, if... If I die, please let my family go." As a doctor, Eliz was knowledgeable of all her important arteries and veins. Right now, she had just cut her artery. Blood loss was her only freedom now. Just one look at Pierce's cold expression, and she felt life was truly meaningless.
Eliz wasn't a person who would give up easily, but she would rather die than be touched and humiliated by these men. "No, I won't let you die." Pierce had this crazed look in his eyes as he shook his head. He quickly bent down and reached for the woman.
She owed him so much; she couldn't die. Eliz laughed weakly. The blood was continuously running from the cut,dripping on the floor.
"You're such an ass," Eliz murmured before seeing black. Her head was about to slam back to the floor, if not for Pierce catching her.
Pierce looked at his surroundings before glancing back at her, feeling regret planted deep in his heart. It was his fault. All of this, all of what happened was his fault. He was never a religious person, never one to believe in the omnipotent one, but now, he found himself praying that Eliz would survive.
Eliz was rushed to the No. 1 Hospital in Milan.
Suddenly, Fred appeared, rushing over to Pierce. His hair was a mess, and his eyes were glazed as if he had just woken up.
"Mr. Aleotti , how is it going?" Fred said
"I was the one who did this to her." His voice echoed at the door of the emergency room.
Fred shook his head and sighed. "Love really is a poison."
After a while, the doctor came out.
Before he could say anything, the doctor said, "Mr. Aleotti, please don't worry. The operation was successful. Miss Navarro will wake up soon."
