It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 718

Belinda regretted not having learned Chinese Kung Fu or kickboxing because of laziness. The only thing she could do was stand still. As the man stalked forward, her heart went to her throat. Belinda had a strong impulse to run off, but she dared not pass the man by. She didn't know what kind of person he was. She was at a loss. The best course of action for her was to stay put.

She had always been a tough woman. But in this remote and dark place, Belinda was scared. Her hands clenched into tight fists. She was prepared to fight if necessary.

The man approached her step by step. Belinda's knees trembled, as if she was about to face a monster. She didn't dare move her eyes away. If she had anticipated this would happen, she wouldn't have refused Duke's invitation in exchange for her ridiculous pride. She'd already have been far away from this damned place! But what was done couldn't be undone. She had to bear the consequences for her waywardness.

"Oh, my! I never dreamed of seeing such a beauty on this remote land." Belinda was right, the man was indeed drunk. She could clearly smell the disgusting scent of alcohol that he gave off as he drew nearer.

"You... What do you want?" Belinda asked, her lips quivering. She glanced several times in the direction of the highway, hoping Duke would come back. To her disappointment, however, not a ray of light could be seen at the end of the trail. Everything was cloaked in sheer darkness.

"Hmm... You're so beautiful, doll! What do you expect I want in this dark, desolate place?" The man asked as he burped loudly. He was of medium built and in his forties. Belinda could not make out his facial features in the dim light. But his sentence had already frightened her.

"Stay back. My husband... he's nearby. He went to fetch something. He'll be back soon." Belinda backed away as she threatened him to ward him off. But she panicked and lost control of her pace.

"Husband! Aha... You can take me as your husband, doll. Hmm... I won't mind taking your husband's place tonight." He staggered nearer. Belinda screamed and darted in the direction of the highway. The man began chasing her immediately as she sprinted.

"Hey, doll. Don't leave me alone! I promise it'll be fun for you!" He yelled as he chased Belinda on one foot. He was in such a drunk state that it wasn't easy for him to catch her. Belinda, however, was in high heels. In panic, she tripped again.

"No, please! Don't hurt me." Belinda lay on the gravel that wasn't paved with cement. She retreated inch by inch as the drunkard approached her. She had several wounds on her body. In spite of the pain, she screamed for help in desperation. She would never have been afraid of this man in the past. But tonight, she was completely worn out emotionally after the fight with Duke. In her place was just a helpless woman in need of protection.

"Don't what, doll? Would you like to have some fun with me? I promise to give you the time of your life." His face was hidden in the darkness, but Belinda could well imagine the lascivious expression on it.

"Stay where you are. I'll scream for help if you take another step forward." Belinda warned him, her eyes widening. She had lost the ability to cry. Her hands blindly searched around, hoping to find a weapon. Maybe a stone could work.
