Survival Under Protection - Book One

32: Dissension And Harmony

RECAP:

"Robert, please step back from your statement and help me save my brother. Please.."

"Why should I?"

"Robert please, I am begging you. He has never harmed you and he has not done anything to Tim."

"Fine.."

"Rea- really? Uh.. Thank you so much Robert. I-"

"But... I want something in return."

I gulped, I felt shivers as it didn't seem good, "Anything," I still said.

He grinned, and said, "Then, kiss me Ria..."

=====================================

I was still shivering, but felt safe standing next to Ray and felt content seeing Robert writhing under Andy's and his friends rough hold while Daniel landed two massive punches on Robert's face.

I flinched a little at that and Ray assured me everything was good, caressing my shoulder.

"Shhh, its ok Ria. You are safe now. Please stop crying.." Ray cooed to me while brushing my hair with softly and I nodded to that.

I felt safer in presence of my brother and most important, Daniel who was the first one to save me from Robert. Thinking of what happened just 10 minutes ago sent me chills all over. The way Robert turned aggressive on me when I said no for anything more, after I did had to... kiss him, the most disgusting kiss ever which made me puke through my core.

And then the way he dragged me to backside of the college where seldom people were seen and forced himself on me and groped me in the most disgusting manner, turning deaf ear to my pleas to let go off me.

Never ever I was so scared in my life when I could not even scream because of the tight hold of Robert's hand over my mouth. I didn't know how to get out of his hold and then I heard a loud punch on Robert's face from side and found Daniel protectively standing in front of me.

Soon Andy, Ray and their other friends came running, may be because of the fight they heard about going on between Daniel and Robert.

"I will never forgive you Ria... for ditching me like this!! Aaagghhh" Robert screamed after Andy kicked him hard.

"Don't you dare speak to my sister you bastard!" Andy warned him.

I flinched back and Ray hugged me tight consoling me. That did consoled me but suddenly my eyes met with Daniel's and I realised that our relation got stepped back more, which seemed to be mending a little when Daniel was aggressive in saving me from Robert. But his eyes had pure protectiveness and concern for me and immense hatred and anger for Robert when he saw me getting molested at his hands.

I saw Daniel stepping back, hurt. I was equally hurt to see him leave. I thought to go to him and hug him tight, thank him for saving me and never letting him go.

But before I could move I heard Robin, the college representative, roar, "What the heck is going on here!". He moved Andy away from Robert and helped Robert get up, who by the way was unable to stand properly.

After long arguments from Andy, Ray and Robert too, Robin came to me and said, "Ria, tell me if this is true. You don't have to be scared."

I looked at Ray and then Andy who still had no idea that I agreed to kiss Robert on the first place, because of his deal to help Alex getting off the chargers.

I sighed, closing my eyes, gathering all courage inside me and told Robin everything which happened.

I saw Andy's reactions to go from surprised to angry and then softened and anger and disgust filled his eyes when I told how Robert molested me.
