Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

Valerie:

Lucian wouldn’t stop crying. It did not matter what I did, it did not matter how much I cried, pressed his head to my chest and pleaded with him to be silent. He continued to cry.

And his cries were what gave us away. The footsteps continued to draw closer, about five different pairs of feet. I turned my back to the door and searched for somewhere I could hide with Lucian. If there was a toilet in the room, I could lock us in there and they wouldn’t hear his cry from outside.

“I can do this. We can do this.” I continued to repeat in my head, over and over, whilst searching for somewhere we could hide. But there was no door.

This must have been the only room in the house without a toilet. My heart fell in my chest, my shoulders followed suit.

Why did I have to be so unlucky? Jo wasn’t back yet. And if she returned now, the men who had come to attack us could take her away, or worse, beat her up until she was almost unrecognizable like the guards outside. My already shattered heart broke into tiny pieces on the ground.

I did not want anyone to harm Jojo, or Lucian, or even me.

I quickly docked behind the bed and sat on the ground. Lucian’s cries masked the sounds of the footsteps. But I knew it was only a matter of seconds until they found us.

I heard a loud bang on the door and my heart lept out of my chest.

They were here, they had found us.

“Open the door! We don’t want to hurt you!” I heard a loud male voice yell. I shivered, even with baby Lucian in my hands.

What was I going to do now? Tears ran down my eyes as I looked around.

There was no means of escape, I was trapped in this situation, all by myself. Why did Jojo have to leave? Why didn’t she just stay back? Or take Lucian and I with her? Why did she have to leave me here?

The men outside were going to take Lucian from me. And only the goddess knew what they needed from him! What was I supposed to do? I couldn’t fight them on my own! They had weapons! And even if they didn’t, it would still have been impossible.

Tears ran down my eyes as I took my only available option; I sat still and waited. It did not matter if I tried to do anything else. I was stuck in this room, we were stuck in this room.

“Okay. Let’s break it down!” Another voice yelled. My grip on Lucian tightened. I dug my teeth into my lower lip and closed my eyes shut.

“One!”

“Two!”

I could hear the pounding of my heart against the walls of my chest, and the loud bangs from the door.

“Three!”

“Kick!”

And just like that, the door’s hinges were broken apart, and the door crumbled to the floor, pushing everything I had pushed behind it, all the barricades I had labored to set between us and them, crumbled to nothing.

“She’s there! Don’t harm the baby. But if the little girl resists, you know what to do.” He must have been their commander. With the way he spoke and the rest of them followed, I knew.

If I could beg him to let us be, I was sure that he would listen and leave Lucian and I alone. Whoever he was, whoever had sent him, I believed he would have a bit of human sympathy.

I was only a child and Lucian was just a baby, we had not done anything to wrong anyone.

I stood up and placed my shaking feet on the ground. I looked around the room and found out that the men were not less than seven.

These number of men for a little baby? What was going on?

They all paused and looked at me. As though they were surprised I had risen to my feet. I sniffed in my tears, Lucian had stopped crying.

I could not explain the anger I felt in my heart. If he had taken this decision some minutes ago, we would have been safe. They would have believed no one was home, and they would have left us alone! If I did not know better, I would have said he wanted us to get caught.

“You do not have to cry, girl. This does not have to be hard. We are not monsters, okay? Give us the baby, and we would not hurt you. We only want him.” Their leader spoke. From their faces, I could tell he was a lot calmer and nicer than the rest of them.

The rest of the men looked like they could not wait to snatch Lucian out of my arms, and put a bullet from one of their guns through my skull.

“Please,” I started to speak. Even though I was not sure of what I wanted to say. I could not let them take Lucian so easily, I had to put up some form of fight.

“He is my nephew.” I spoke softly, allowing my tears to run down my eyes freely.

“He has never done anything to hurt anyone. I have never done anything wrong. We are both sorry. Whatever you want, when my sister gets back, she would make sure that you have it. Please… he is… he is just a little boy.” I shook my head. More tears ran down my eyes as I thought of falling to my knees and begging them.

Lucian chewed on the sleeve of my pajamas, while I was fighting for his life.

One of the men took one step towards me, while the leader spoke softly.

“We would not hurt him, okay? Trust me. We just want to take him where he rightfully belongs, that’s all.” He had a warm smile on his face.

I couldn’t help but frown. Whoever he was, he was definitely…

One of the guards sneaked up on me and held my hands, while another man stole Lucian from my hands.

They pushed me to the ground and rushed out of the room. Lucian’s cry started again, but this time, no one stopped to help him.

The men rushed out of the room and closed the door behind them.

I hurried up from the ground and tried to run after them. Fear and panic captured my chest, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

I ran down the stairs, to the living room, hoping I could catch up with them. But they got into their car and zoomed off with Lucian.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I fell to the ground and screamed. Helpless and hopeless. I hoped Jojo would forgive me.
