HER KNIGHT

NOAH'S POV

My first thought was to look at her face when I woke up and I did just that, it was like a sweet torture for me and to my surprise she was playing outside on the lawn with one of the nurses.

It reminded me of the day when we met for the third time.

Yes, each and every meeting is imprinted on my mind.

It was in a club with her supposed ex-fiancé.

My jaw clenched when I was reminded of that day.

FLASHBACK

I was trying to distract myself in the club with some friends from work when my eyes fell on one of my business rivals. It was Luca Hunter one of Alex's business partners but my eyes widened when I saw the person walking behind him.

It was her.

Kitten.

What is she doing here?

My eyes trailed down her body, she was wearing a short dress and only one word came to my mind after that.

Sl*t!

I knew that she was just acting, she was not the innocent girl I thought she was.

After our second meeting, I almost fall into her trap and developed a bit of sympathy for her, but she doesn't deserve it. No one from the Serrano family deserves it.

They all are corrupted and rotten to their core.

They both were holding hands and she was looking down nervously, which sparked something inside me.

The kind of clothes she is wearing only display a clear picture of someone bold and confident woman but her body language screamed that she was not comfortable.

I wanted to go there and snatched her away from him but then decided against it.

I needed to know what she was doing here.

Luca dragged her to one of the VIP sections and almost threw her on the couch but she managed to stable herself and I sighed in relief.

Something felt about this entire situation.

Luca said something to her and pinched her chin and she visibly trembled.

That f*cker brought here against her will!

I was ready to go there when he stepped back and left her there. My eyes followed Luca's movements and I saw him going towards another woman who looked like a hundred percent genuine h*e.

She dragged him somewhere upstairs and he followed while grinning like a fool with a drink in his hand and I shook my head.

That bastard is leaving her here alone.

My gaze went back towards Aurora and she was fidgeting on the couch uncomfortably with no one to accompany her.

I saw many men eyeing her as if she was a piece of meat.

She tried to cover her legs as well by folding them back but the dress was too short to hide them.

I gulped down my drink to calm the raging bull inside me that was insisting to come out and play but once again I held back.

I can't feel anything for her. She deserves this.

I look somewhere else to calm my mind but my eyes constantly betrayed me and the next time I saw her was when someone was trying to touch her inappropriately and she clearly had no idea what to do.

She was not ashamed to wear a dress like that but now she is acting like a chaste woman? What kind of game she is playing? Such a drama queen!

I thought when I saw her trying to free herself from the grip of the unknown man.

I glanced towards the stair and saw no trace of Luca and I don't think he plans to return anytime soon, he already had company and I don't even want to think what is he doing with her?

I excused myself and stepped closer towards the VIP area and heard her telling the man to get off her but the f*cker was too drunk to understand what he was doing.

When I saw tears in her eyes something flipped inside me and I couldn't wait any longer.

My blood boiled and I reached there in no time and said in a deep voice.

"Let go of her hand before I chop them off."

The man looked at me but I guess didn't take me seriously but my kitten did. She was pleading with me with her eyes and I saw red.

I pulled the man by his collar and threw him outside the VIP area. He looked at me with wide eyes, fear evident in them.

"I….you, what the hell are you doing? You don't know me, I can get you kicked out of this place and you will be blacklisted from this club forever. Don't mess with me!" He blubbered but I didn't care.

I punched him hard and because he was drunk he fainted on the spot.

The crowd didn't even pay attention when he fainted there. Other men who were eyeing my kitten a few moments ago averted their eyes when they saw me.

I looked at the stairs again and dragged Aurora outside the club.

She wasn't supposed to be here, this place is not for someone like her.

"What the hell were you doing there? And why the hell are you wearing this cheap dress? " I exploded and she literally jumped.

She was holding her wrist and crying. She tried to make herself look small but every inch of her was visible to my eyes and damn she looked like an angel.

She is beautiful but this dress is not for her.

She continued crying and I gave her my coat to cover herself, when she finally accepted it I saw red, angry marks on her wrist.

But that's not what surprised me, it was the old and fading bruises that caught my eye and it was clear that someone tried to hurt her or maybe she tried to hurt herself.

It is hard to say anything but before I could question her, I saw Luca coming so I dragged her to a corner and she yelped but I covered her mouth with my palm to keep her mouth shut.

I don't know why I was saving her or hiding her but I knew that I can't let her go so easily.

It's my chance to get to know more about her.

Luca looked around, asked a few people and finally got back inside when the same woman came outside to drag him back.

I sighed in relief when I was sure that he is not coming back, I finally turned my face towards Aurora and saw her struggling and clawing at my palm that was still covering her mouth.

We were standing too close at this point and I was aware that I was a little drunk as well and her dress or the way she was standing way too close to me was a huge distraction but I pulled my mind out of the gutter and decided to drop her at her place.

It will give me some time to talk to her as well.

"Would you like to come with me in my car? I will drop you at your place." I stepped back and offered my assistance.

"Um…okay." She said in a small trembling voice and we both got inside my car.

It was finally time for me to make a move.
