Chapter 63
A frown crept onto Darius’ face the moment he heard her scream on the other end of the phone. He didn’t need to be told that Helen was in danger. The last time they met was at the charity gala, and apart from the light conversation he had with her before the auction, he hadn’t spoken with her again.
“Where are you now?” Darius asked calmly. He knew that getting her location was of paramount importance. Anything else could take back seat in the face of her location. “I’m at the VIP section, room 38 of HKN Diamond Hotel.” Helen replied in a shaky voice.” Please come fast. I’m in-”
Before Helen could complete her sentence, the phone call disconnected. Darius gripped his phone tightly before releasing his grip. He let out a short breath before speeding out of the parking lot. i.
As he drove at top speed, he connected his phone to the Bluetooth system of his car and made a phone call. The call rang once before the person picked up. “Where is HKN Diamond Hotel?” Darius asked curtly, going straight to the point. He knew that the longer he spoke, the more Helen was exposed to danger, and therefore this was no time for curtsies.
“Give me a second, Mr. Reid.” Erin, the person on the other end of the phone answered briefly.
It was a bit surprising that Darius thought to call Erin and not Bruce, but looking at it from another perspective it was indeed the right choice. Bruce had been filling in for Erin and was performing the jobs a personal assistant was supposed to do. Now that Darius had gotten a personal assistant, it was only natural that such matters fell to her.
“HKN Diamond Hotel is a s star hotel in Blueberry district and close to Lockwood university. It is owned by the Erihal Group and is worth over $5 billion.” Erin answered just 10 seconds later. She was incredibly efficient with her job.
“Is there a problem Mr. Reid?” Erin asked hesitantly.
“Contact the Manager of the Hotel and tell him to dispatch security personnel to VIP section, room 38 of the hotel now.” Darius ordered before disconnecting the call.
He checked the distance from his current location to the hotel in his car inbuilt GPS system and frowned when he saw that he was over an hour away from the said hotel. Nevertheless he stepped on the accelerator and increased his top speed.
He had already done what he could for now by telling Erin to inform the Manager of the situation at hand. He could only hope that the security personnel would be able to keep the danger at bay until he arrived.
(HKN Diamond Hotel; VIP section, room 38]
Helen held her hands to her mouth inside the toilet of the VIP room. Her heart pounded rapidly as she hid inside the toilet. She could hear the cold and merciless laughter of Luke Erihal and his friends who brought them here.
Helen hadn’t wanted to come, but her roommate had coerced her to accompany her. Kris, Luke’s best friend had asked Helen’s roommate Dee out on a date. Ecstatic, Dee had invited her
to accompany her to the hotel with Kris and Luke,
Helen heard their conversation from the restroom and closed her eyes. She gripped her phone tightly and prayed in her heart. It had already been thirty minutes since she called Darius. Is he not going to help her? Finally Luke and Kris couldn’t wait anymore. Dee’s drink had already been spiked, so she was completely knocked out; and only Helen was left.

Together, Luke and Kris both dragged Helen out of the restroom after she refused to come out and placed her on the sofa. Luke tore her clothes and threw it in a corner of the room. She screained as loud as she could, but alas, the room was soundproof, hereby rendering all her efforts useless. Very soon, Helen was left with only her underwear.
Luke had a crazed expression on his face when he saw Helen’s exposed skin. Although Helen was poor and therefore didn’t pay much attention to how she looked, that did nothing to hide the fact that she was a pure beauty.
He took off his shirt and unbuckled his trousers, determined to get to business immediately. Just when Helen thought that she no help would be coming for her and closed her eyes, the door to the room immediately sprang open.
Startled, Luke turned to face the intruder with rage on his face, but swallowed his words the moment the intruder stepped into the room.
The intruder looked around the room, and an intense aura erupted from him at what he sam. He removed his gaze from the room and glared at Luke before speaking in a very dangerous and icy tone “You must have a death wish. Luke Erihal.”
