Trapped with a Lawyer novel Chapter 163

When he heard a woman's scream, Samuel rushed towards the house.

'Ella, hold on!

Do not be afraid.

Ella, I love you. I'm coming!' Samuel yelled in his mind.

Finally, he got there, out of breath. He stopped and looked around. Outside the house, he saw a small woman lying on the ground. He looked closely and took a sharp breathe when he recognized her. It was Ella. To his horror, he realised the men were sexually assaulting her.

His eyes turned blood-shot with rage. He realised he did not have much time. Though he was outnumbered, he launched himself on the kidnappers.

The men freaked out. They hurriedly fastened their belts and ran towards the back of the house.

Samuel ran after them, managing to catch one by the shoulders. At that moment he wanted to beat him to death. Suddenly, the four men who were running away cried out loud. On checking, he saw each one of them drop. Samuel sensed that they were dead.

Ella sat up from the ground. She was confused and terrified at the same time. She noticed the four men lying on the ground not far away from her. Everything happened too fast and she could not comprehend what was happening.

Then Ella looked at the man Samuel was still beating. She noticed blood flowing from his nose. She freaked out and called out weakly. "Samuel, my sweetheart..."

When Samuel heard Ella's voice, he mellowed. Ella's voice worked magic on his rage. He pushed the man to the ground, released him and walked towards Ella. He stood there and looked at Ella. Although he was a bitter man, he took off his suit jacket and bent down, draping it over Ella who looked disheveled.

"Don't be afraid." Samuel held Ella's shaking body tightly in his arms and comforted her gently for sometime. Then he raised his head and looked at the four dead men on the ground. There and then, he realised that it was not a simple kidnapping stint by amateurs. It was a professional job.

Then he heard some movement. The man he had beaten and pushed to the ground was struggling to stand up. He knew the man wanted to run away so Samuel stood up and walked to where he was, seizing him by the collar.

"I'm very sorry. Please let me go. Do not kill me please. I had just touched her when you arrived." This man was the one who had been branded a coward. He was the man who wanted to leave the house and keep sentry.

Samuel shook his head fiercely. The man cried in pain.

"Tell me... who hired you to do this?" The man shook his head and would not confess. Samuel gripped his neck tightly, the man finding it hard to breath.

The man's face flushed a bright red colour. Samuel loosened his grip. "Tell me!"

"I will confess... I will confess." The man started coughing, which lasted for some time.

Suddenly, Ella heard commotion. She knew help was coming. Ella turned and called out Samuel. The suit jacket didn't totally cover Ella. She didn't want to be found by people like that. She needed to ask Samuel for help.

Samuel turned and realized there were people coming towards where they were. He knew who the people were. When they were near enough, he shouted, "Stop and wait for a while."

The sound of the heavy boots immediately stopped.

"Tell me now!" Samuel pulled him from the ground.

"I will confess. It was... Am..."

Bang! Bang!

The man was shot in the head, killed by a gun fitted with a silencer.

Samuel pushed away the body of the dead man and walked to Ella. He dropped to the ground and held her in his arms. He wanted to protect her. Suddenly, something piqued his interest and he looked around the compound. He saw a figure disappearing towards the southeast side of the compound.

"The southeast side, go and catch him!" He ordered. Several people rushed towards that direction.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Samuel held Ella tightly. He realized that the suit jacket was only covering her upper body.

He took off his shirt and without hesitation he fastened it around her waist to cover her lower body, resembling a skirt. Samuel was now shirtless.

Then he lifted Ella into his arms and started walking.

The sight of Samuel shirtless carrying Ella left people dumb-struck.

Seeing this, one of the police men took off his jacket and put it over Samuel's shoulders.

Samuel glanced at the jacket but did not resist even though he had some reservations.

"Thanks. All the people were killed. An investigation is needed into this matter." Ella buried her face into Samuel's arms. He held her tightly and walked slowly towards his car.

The unfinished word came into his mind. A note of murderous intent flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.

Samuel proceeded to his car and put Ella in the back seat.

"Samuel, sweetheart." Ella put her arms around Samuel's waist as soon as he straightened his back.
