Episode 13

Nicole: Good morning, Mr. Brayan.

We continued in silence to the company. Brayan once again didn't respond to a simple good morning. He got off, and I waited as usual in the garage. Anna called me.

^^^📱Anna: Girl, he's here, help me.^^^

^^^📱Nicole: Hide Anna, I'm coming!^^^

^^^I told Brayan's security guard to let him know that I had an emergency, that a friend was in danger at home, and I left as quickly as I could.^^^

At the office...

Brayan: What are you doing here at this hour, Cassio?

Cassio: I need help, Anna's avoiding me!

Someone knocks on the door.

Security: Mr. Brayan, excuse me. Miss Nicole left in a hurry to attend to an emergency.

Brayan: Emergency?

Security: A friend called, Anna. She asked her to hide and left quickly, very upset, saying this friend was in danger at home. Should we go to her?

Brayan: Cassio, get Nicole's address from HR and send it to me, I'll go there.

I was informed of an emergency with Nicole and Anna, I don't know why, but when it comes to Nicole I don't think, I just go.

Cassio: No way, I know where she lives. I dropped her off there the night we went out, I'm going too! I'll ask my secretary to send us the apartment number on the way.

We left quickly.

At the apartment...

Vinicius: What part of you being mine don't you understand?

Anna: Vinicius... Let me go... Please! We're done.

Vinicius pressed me against the wall and held my arm tightly. I got scared and started to cry.

Vinicius: Don't cry, my love, we're going to be together from now on. I'll never let you go again.

Anna: It's over, Vinicius, go away. I don't want you anymore, you're crazy. Get out now or I'll scream!

Vinicius slapped me so hard across the face that I tasted blood in my mouth.

Vinicius: Look what you make me do! You don't understand, do you?! I love you, and you're going to love me.

Anna: No! Love doesn't hurt. You don't love me. You're a crazy psychopath with no limits! Let me go now, I don't want you and I'll never take you back!

I tried to break free, and Vinicius' expression changed, he looked terrifying!

Vinicius: If you're not mine, you won't be anyone's, Anna!

Anna: Leave me alone... Please, Vinicius... You're hurting me! You really are a coward. I hate you, I'll never love you, I'll never stay with you, and I'd rather die than be with you again, you maniac!

Vinicius slammed my head against the wall with great force, I heard Nicole's altered voice, and I lost consciousness.

Nicole: You cowardly bastard! Let her go!!!

I arrived and hit Vinicius's head with a vase. The vase hit him badly on the head, and I saw so much rage in his eyes. He was faster and punched me with a clenched fist. I got dizzy and fell backwards.

Vinicius: You bitch! You poisoned Anna, everything that happened to her is your fault.

Nicole: You are a coward and need treatment, get out of here! I asked the doorman to call the police, you better run.

Vinicius tried to get on top of me, I used my legs to try to stop him, he climbed up and put his hands around my neck.

Vinicius: You have technique, and I have strength, bitch. Say goodbye to Anna, she's not getting out of here alive, and I'm taking her with me!

Nicole: Le... le... let... let go... go... you're... going... to pay...

Vinicius increased the pressure on my neck. I could barely speak, I couldn't fight anymore. I hit him every way I could. I knew he also fought and had self-defense training. The family was very wealthy, so they were all well-trained. I couldn't fight anymore, I felt too weak. Anna was unconscious on the floor. I kept trying, I couldn't leave her with that monster.

At the entrance...

Doorman: Miss Nicole asked me to call the police, they're already on their way. You can go up.

Brayan: We went up quickly, not waiting for the elevator. The door was open. We went up to the second floor, and in the bedroom, what I saw made my heart stop. There was a man on top of Nicole, strangling her. Anna was passed out near Nicole. I didn't think, I went for the imbecile. Cassio went to Anna, who didn't respond. I punched the coward who attacked Nicole several times. I saw her struggling to breathe, and went to help her. Nicole... Nicole...

Nicole: I heard Brayan's distant voice, I tried to breathe, but it was difficult!

Brayan: I sat Nicole down, I saw the marks on her neck and her face. She was struggling to breathe, coughing. I tried to calm her down. Breathe, Nicole, it's okay! Breathe...

Nicole: My eyes were burning, my throat was burning, and I kept struggling to breathe.

Cassio: Anna... Anna...

Anna: I woke up startled, my whole body was trembling. I looked ahead, and Cassio was there. Nicole was with Brayan, trying to breathe. He's here, Cassio found me! Help Nicole.

Cassio: Calm down, Anna, you're safe. No one's going to hurt you. Brayan is helping Nicole, calm down.

Anna: You have to get out of here, he's going to kill you!

Cassio: Calm down, Anna, it's okay.

I looked around and realized that the jerk had run away. Anna was calming down, Nicole was still trying to breathe. I hugged Anna, who was trembling and crying a lot.

Nicole: I tried to speak and couldn't, my throat hurt. I looked at Anna and felt relief seeing her with Cassio. Brayan kept looking at me, asking me to breathe!

Brayan: I'm going to pick you up, and we'll go down, there's an ambulance on the way. The guy who was here ran away, but I'll find him, and he'll pay!

I couldn't help it, I had to help Nicole. The coward took advantage and ran away. I took Nicole in my arms, she was heavier than she looked. I carried her down to the entrance hall, and soon I heard the sirens approaching.

Nicole: I kept coughing, listening carefully to everything, and just nodded. Brayan carried me in his arms, my body was weak. I rested my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around his neck. We got to the entrance hall and soon heard the sirens. Anna was walking, leaning on Cassio. I saw her crying desperately. I wanted so badly to tell her that everything was okay. They were going to talk to the police, and Brayan was going with me to the ambulance. The paramedic put an oxygen mask on me to help me breathe. I lay down on the stretcher, and Brayan sat in front of me, staring at me.

Brayan: Nicole was breathing better, still coughing a little. She had the oxygen mask on; her eyes were red, her face bruised, and her neck badly marked. I felt anger at the coward who had attacked her. I don't know why, but I wanted to kill him with my own hands!
