A Bird in the Cage novel Chapter 41

Chapter 43 Fear and Helplessness

While Catherine ran, she felt a sudden warmth on her arm as if someone was grabbing her. She instinctively stopped and turned away.

The moment she turned around, Catherine was stunned by the face she saw. She gaped at the person in shock without knowing how to react.

The man had a dark face with protruding cheekbones, and he seemed to be out of his mind. His clothes were ragged, and his whole body exuded a rotten smell. At a glance, he looked obviously like a tramp.

“You… you’re so beautiful. Beautiful!” the man grinned and tightened his grip on her slender arm, pulling her to his side.

“Let go of me! Let go!” Catherine screamed and struggled with all her strength.

“I wanna kiss you…” he smirked and wrapped his other hand around her neck.

“Let me go! Help! Let me go!” Catherine cried for help, but there was no one on the streets except for the passing cars on such a hot day.

Cathrine was afraid and helpless, but she didn’t have much strength to resist.

In a panic, she raised her foot and intended to step on the man’s foot with her heels, but he cunningly dodged her.

The tramp secured his large hands on her thin shoulders and leaned forward, trying to peck her pretty red lips.

Catherine desperately struggled to avoid his lips. Fear and disgust made her forget how to breathe properly.

While trying to avoid his attack, Catherine shouted hoarsely, “Help! Somebody, help!” Who could save her? She didn’t want to be molested by this man.

It seemed that the homeless man didn’t just want to kiss her. She dared not imagine what would happen if he forced her to the ground.

The man was unusually strong. As expected, her worst imaginations came true as he pushed her to the ground.

With the hard push, Catherine could feel the pebbles on the walkway prickling onto her back, but now wasn’t the right time to worry over whether it hurt or not. Getting out of this man’s

grip was the priority.
