Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom novel Chapter 544

"Violette." He cried her name in agony. His usually ice-cold face was now consumed with fury and the intent to kill.

He wanted to save her, but it felt like they were so close, yet so far away. He could hear her heavy breaths, see the fear clouding her eyes, but he was powerless. His blood began to boil; he wouldn't let the man hurting her get away with it.

Over at Violette's end of the video call, it was clear she was terrified. It was Elijah's voice. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. She didn't expect that Silver King would sneakily call Elijah. "Elijah. Don’t look." Tears welled up in her eyes. "Please. Don't look."

Elijah watched her helpless and heartbroken expression, his heart broken. His fingers clenched tightly around his phone, eyes filled with anger. "I'm coming to save you. Violette, I'm coming right now." He said, tears silently rolling down his cheeks, falling to the corners of his mouth.

The tears tasted bitter. He had never experienced such pain. Watching the woman he loved being humiliated by another man was more painful than killing him.

With his phone in a death grip, he bolted to his room.

Mike heard the commotion and walked out, colliding head-on with him. "What happened?." Mike, wincing from the impact, saw his red-rimmed, tear-filled eyes and instantly knew something was seriously wrong.

"There are over a dozen backup power systems on that mountain. If we don't take out their power first, are you going in to save her or to watch them kill Violette?." Mike shouted angrily. He was completely overwhelmed by Elijah, with no chance to fight back. An enraged man's strength was brutal and terrifying. But he didn't stop talking, "Wake up. Is Violette's life more important, or her purity?."

Elijah's arm was around his neck, the grip loosened a bit.

Mike underestimated him. Did he care about Violette's purity? What he cared about was Violette's trampled dignity. She was such a strong person, and now she was being forced and humiliated like this, it would cast a shadow over her life. Just the thought that this event would affect her for the rest of her life made him unable to keep his cool.
