"Let go of me!" Arabella screamed. She seemed to cry her heart out by shouting hysterically. Her dad despised her and she despised them all. Without no intention to back down, she stood toughly. Her decision to save her dad was merely a mistake. She had no reason to save him at all. He didn't even want to see her. Alice and Trishia Meyer were the only people he mattered to the most and she was not even included. Now, thinking of her situation, she had no reason to obey the vicious old senator. She should be free from all her oppressors and that includes Bill Sky.
"Arabella... Dear, how did you become so tough overnight?" Sen. Meyer was wearing a wicked grin. She could see her gold and silver teeth were showing. She was disgusted by his smile and never liked it even a bit. As he strode closer to Arabella, Sen. Meyer lifted her chin with his index finger to make her face him. "Tell you what... The only person who could end the deal is me! Do you understand that?" His tone and eyes were like a dangerous warning. It seemed she would suffer in hell if she would not follow him as her life was held by the vicious senator.
Arabella looked at the Senator. Her eyes were furious. "I am not afraid of you!" She stated with her eyes still bloodshot due to crying. "To tell you honestly, I am not afraid to die." She added then suddenly, she bit Sen. Meyer's index finger like a mad dog. She didn't like to be touched by him. It disgusted her so much to the bones.
"Ahhh!" Sen. Meyer was alerted. The pain in his finger made her slap Arabella abruptly. He had never seen this girl so tough before. She seemed so determined in all her words. Her expression was telling him that she didn't care anymore.
Feeling a burning pain on her cheek, Arabella held her face. She stabilized her position then she smiled at him with satisfaction. Hurting the senator was a bit of relief for her. She had been wanting to do it to him.
"Are you going to kill me now?" Her voice was dispirited. The intense pain in her heart made her like a soulless person.
"Oh no... How can I do that to you? You will still give me a load of money..." Sen. Meyer quickly responded with a controlled temper. He lost his temper when Arabella bit his finger unexpectedly and now he was trying to regain his calm so he could deal with Arabella properly according to his advantage. "I'm sorry, dear. It's not my intention to hurt you... It's my flex, you know?" He was determined not to lose the girl. It would be his great loss without Bill Sky's bait. Arabella should serve him until her death. Her death was already scheduled and that was after her mission for him.
Arabella looked at the senator in disdain. Then she spat on the ground. "Huh! I will never be your puppet, anymore!" She hissed with her fists clenching hard. She turned around to walk away but the three study men blocked her way. She clenched her fists hard getting ready to fight with the three men. She was tired of everything. All she just wanted was to be free from all the bad people in her life and all the pain in her lonely world.
When the three men saw her with a tough expression, they just grinned at her but when the first man grabbed Arabella, she quickly kicked his balls and punched him swiftly. The attack was unexpected or they could say they underestimated the girl. The first man crouched on the ground holding his aching balls while gnashing his teeth in pain. Seeing Arabella knew how to protect herself, the rest of the men were taken aback but of course, in front of the Senator, they should be the brave and aggressive warriors against a woman. The other man nodded to his comrade then they both attacked Arabella at the same time. Arabella hardened her fists. With the intense agony inside her, she swore that no one would hurt her again. If she dies today, she would never regret fighting with her enemy. At least she died with honor and she would fight until her last breath.
When she saw the second and the third man approaching her, she quickly ran to the corner where she could find a weapon. Anything sharp or hard that she could use to protect herself until she had picked a steel bar on the ground. She held it tightly and swayed left and right. "Huh!" She sneered. "This is what you guys want? Come on! Come on!" She challenged them to attack her and she was more than ready to fight and die at the moment. She was not afraid of anyone. Her eyes were telling them that she would fight them to her last breath.
"Get her, idiots! She's just a woman!" Sen. Meyer shouted with disgrace in his tone. The senator was obviously a slayer of powerless women.
Arabella didn't like what she heard. She cursed men who bullied women.
"Huh!" She squeaked strongly reacting to what the senator said. " And you are the most coward man I knew! The coward senator who hides behind a woman to get what he wants. A man who uses a woman as his shield is the worst! Are you not ashamed of yourself senator?" She said full of insults to the senator and then she spat on the ground.
The Senator didn't like her reply either. His eyes darkened like he could drown everyone's soul in his gaze. "You! I bet your parents never taught you well good manners. Get her and I will teach her a lesson she will never forget!" The Senator roared angrily like he wanted to eat Arabella alive.
"Huh!" She could not find her satisfaction upon hearing the senator's words. " and I bet you are not a good parent either, Senator. Trishia Meyer was already an example of your good parenting!" She responded mockingly. She would never let anyone slander her mother's memory. She was the only one who truly cared for her as a parent.
"Huh! Don't you ever mention that useless bastard to me! Your half-sister was a piece of trash! She was never my daughter! Your useless father is the one to blame for that bastard!" Sen. Meyer defended himself by stomping his wooden cane on the ground.
"Why would I even argue at you, senator? You don't deserve a daughter because surely, you will never be a good father! A selfish man like you deserves to die alone! Your greedy soul and not to mention your lonely soul was going to wander in hell alone!" She grinned mockingly.
