Forgive My Ex-husband novel Chapter 58

"Sir, behave yourself," Melinda warned.

She arched an eyebrow and glared at the man who was staring at her like a hungry wolf.

Her eyes darted towards Yulia. She smirked at Melinda and stepped back as her heels grated against the floor.

"Guys, did you hear what she said?" the man cackled. "Do any of you know what it means? Because I don't."

Two more men emerged from the corner, and came to surround her from all sides. Melinda fisted her palm and gritted her teeth. She could defeat one man but she was outnumbered by the enemies.

Melinda looked around helplessly, hoping for someone to miraculously appear from nowhere and help her.

But the place was empty and no one was around to even find out that she was in trouble.

There were three men in total. The man who seemed like the leader of the gang was bald. He was wearing a black vest and there were dragon tattoos in his arms, winding to his back. He removed his sunglasses, letting his eyes wander across Melinda's body. He slipped off his leather jacket and slung it on his shoulder.

The two men standing behind him—with short hair and a light gray sweaty shirt—altered their stance, blocking all the possible escape paths.

Initially, Melinda thought that the whole thing was an accident but now she understood what had happened. This was a pre-planned assault. They had been after her, waiting for the right chance to trap her.

She glanced at Yulia again. The smirk on her face proved that she was behind all this.

Melinda had been too naive to believe that Yulia would change. But she was born evil and there was no hope for her to mend her ways.

"What do you want?" Melinda asked, crossing her arms across her chest.

She would still have a chance if they were after her to demand a ransom. Yulia quickly glanced at the men warningly.

She was aware that the men were lusting after money. If they found Melinda's offer to be more attractive, they would join hands with her, and Yulia's efforts would be fruitless.

"I want a beauty like you," the bald man said, sweeping his tongue across his lips.

His assistants guffawed at Melinda, which made her squirm on the spot.

Melinda snuck her hand into the bag to find her phone and call the police. However, the man grabbed her wrist tightly. Melinda let out a piercing scream as the man almost crushed her bones.

"Bitch, do you want to call the police?" he spat.

The man threw Melinda's bag on the ground and inched forward. She bit her lip as intense pain shot through her hand. She tried wriggling out of the man's hold.

One of the men picked her purse and took out the money. He dropped her phone to the ground and smashed it with his leg.

"Let me go," she cried.

"Shh... Don't waste your time screaming, honey. It's a rare thing to find a beauty like you. How can you expect us to let go of you easily."

He ran his fingers across Melinda's arms that broke into goose bumps.

The bald man was aroused by Melinda's unadulterated beauty. The two men stepped closer with their eyes fixed on her.

They were not willing to let go of her and dragged her away.

"Let her go!"

A deep male voice resonated across the empty space. Everyone turned their head to find who it was. Jonas was standing beside the corner. He was a picture of pure rage.

A chill ran through Yulia's spine. She wondered how her brother managed to follow them all the way here.

Melinda's racing heart seemed to slow down at the sight of Jonas. She felt relieved even though he was looking murderous.

"Let her go! Otherwise, my brother will beat you to a pulp,"

Yulia said, signaling them to leave.

"I've called the police. They will be here at any time. Are you sure you want to torture my wife?"

Melinda's pale cheeks turned red as a wave of desire washed over her when she heard him call her his wife. It somehow sounded sexy in his voice.

The two men panicked at the mention of the police. However, the bald man was transfixed by Melinda. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Didn't you hear what my brother said? Leave her, or you will have to spend the rest of your lives in jail," Yulia said anxiously.

The man was looking as if he wanted to eat Melinda alive. Yulia swallowed loudly and wiped her sweaty palms on her dress. Jonas would find out that she was behind all this if he sent the man to jail. He would never forgive her for that.

"I'm not afraid of the police," the bald man sneered distastefully.

Going to jail was not a big deal for him. He had his men inside, and getting out of the jail was a piece of cake for him.
