Xander and Carson stood at the veranda's edge, watching the crowd bustling below. They observed that people enjoyed the ongoing party without more disturbances than before. Carson and Xander hadn't seen each other in a long time, and this was their first meeting after a long absence."Do you remember facing the enemy when we were on the battlefield? Through the orders you gave, we managed to defeat them. We were so close to losing back then," Xander said, his smile wide as he reminisced about their past.Carson nodded, recalling those times as well. "Yeah, those were hard times, but we made it through. And now, everything feels so different. There's no more war." He smiled as he remembered all the victories they achieved. "Not that I want war again, but the memories of those times are etched in my mind."Xander looked at Carson seriously. "I admire how you led us and how steadfast you remained during those tough moments. I probably wouldn't be here now if it weren’t for you leading ou
After finishing, Carson returned to the party. He walked through the crowd and finally found Alison's position. She was sitting alone at a table, with no one around. Seeing his wife seemingly isolated from everyone made Carson feel pain.He walked over to the table and sat down in the available chair. Smiling, Carson grabbed a drink from the table.“This party is great. Everyone seems to be having a good time,” Carson said with a smile, trying to start a conversation with his wife.Alison turned to him and smiled back. “Yes, I like it. Even though there was a bit of a commotion earlier, everyone seemed happy now. Are you enjoying it too?”Carson could tell from Alison’s eyes that she wasn’t genuinely enjoying herself. She was just pretending to be happy so he wouldn’t worry. Seeing this, Carson felt frustrated. He wanted to get up and ask her to dance, but Alison stood up first."I need to use the restroom. Wait here," she said.Carson nodded, postponing his plan to ask her to dance.
Alison was lying on her back, stared at by three men with lustful eyes. One of them walked over carrying a small bucket of water. A moment later, he placed the bucket beside the bed."Flush her," one of them ordered.A moment later, one of the men lifted the bucket of water and doused Alison's head with it.Alison woke up with a start, feeling a chill running through her head. The water soaking her face and hair made her flinch, and she immediately coughed as the water entered her nose. It hurt. Alison held her nose and coughed repeatedly.She was confused by what was happening. As the pain in her nose began to heal, she realized she was in a strange place. A moment later, she heard the sound of laughter echoing all around her, creating an unexpected atmosphere. Alison's eyes widened at that.She raised her gaze slowly; her vision was still blurry, but she could see the shadows of the people standing before her, their faces full of mischievous and lustful smiles. The room's light shon
The man became even more annoyed at Alison's words, his face bright red. In an instant, he got up, picked up a bucket, and poured the water in the bucket over Alison's body. The cold water rushed down, making Alison shiver and startled, her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe the treatment.In the midst of her confusion, the man pulled on Alison's leg and looked very angry. The sound of his heavy breathing echoed in the room, adding to the tension that enveloped it.Alison was terrified, her face pale. She was almost beaten by the man. Fortunately, the man's two friends stopped him immediately, restraining him before he could unleash his emotions by beating Alison violently."Don't! Stop!" shouted one of the man's friends.At first, the man rebelled, struggling against the grip of his two friends, his eyes staring at Alison with deep anger. After a few minutes, however, his breathing began to regulate, and he finally sat down on a chair not far from Alison's bed."Calm yourself,"
The room door was violently kicked in, and the sound of wood clashing with the wall surprised the three men inside. Their faces turned into panic when they saw the figure that appeared. With reflex movements, they backed away, pressing their bodies against the wall as if hoping to merge with it."Honey, you finally came," Alison said, her voice trembling between relief and anxiety. She felt her heart rate slow down as she saw Carson, her husband, enter the room with an expression full of anger. Alison's eyes lit up, as if finding light after feeling herself almost abused by that man.Because of the anxiety on the men's faces, Alison felt mixed feelings- happiness for the safety that had come- and fear of what might happen. Two men immediately grabbed both of Alison's hands. They were going to use her as a shield for them."Don't come forward or we'll kill this woman," threatened one of them.Carson was not alone. He came with the tall, muscular man he had seen earlier at the party, s
The big man was shocked at what Alison had done. He thought that Alison was a gentle woman, who wouldn't dare to hurt anyone with her own hands. It turned out that what he thought was wrong. Alison shot the three men with the gun she was holding.The man turned his head and saw that Alison was hugging Carson. His face looked a little pale. He didn't know if Alison was scared because she had hurt three people with a gun or if she was scared because she remembered what happened before. She was almost harassed by these three men."Is this okay?" the man asked."Take them away from here and hide about this incident. I trust you with this," Carson said.Xander could only shake his head in surprise at the order. But he couldn't refuse and immediately nodded his head. "Alright, I'll handle all this."Carson smiled. He was very happy that Xander would clean up what had happened. After that, Carson walked out of the room with Alison. It seemed that Alison was still shocked by what had happened
"Give me your money," the men demanded.Their eyes were sharp, filled with intimidation. Of course, they had to look like that to frighten their victims. Only that wouldn't apply to Carson. He just glanced and started walking again. It was just as he started walking again. His body was pushed backward. He intended to do so, but instead, he was the one who was pushed back.Carson refused to give money firmly. "You have to work to earn money, not by forcing others. Leave before I start to get annoyed." His voice was firm. There was no fear at all. Carson looked so relaxed.One of the thugs came forward, his face angry and threatening. He looked at Carson with sharp eyes and tried to intimidate Carson. He even took out a knife and pointed it at Carson's stomach. He thought it would scare Carson. "How dare you. Give me your money, or I'll kill you and your woman. I'm not kidding." He pushed the knife slightly into Carson's stomach. "You'll regret it later."Alison gripped Carson's hand
After the incident, Carson and Alison continued to wander around the place, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere. They sampled various foods and interacted with the other visitors. Their smiles and laughter created an aura of happiness that attracted attention. Many people glanced at them. Some of them were jealous of the couple's intimacy. Even so, they did not dare to disturb Alison and Carson."You know, we look like the perfect couple," Carson said as he stole a glance at Alison, his smile wide.Alison laughed, feeling happy with the compliment. "You're right. This is so much fun. I've never felt like this. Thank you."Carson nodded. "You're welcome."After a day full of happiness, they finally returned home. As soon as they arrived, a calm atmosphere greeted them. Both sat on the sofa, exhausted but full of smiles. Last night's events had been horrible, but this morning's events had made them happy.Carson looked at Alison with concern. "You're okay, aren't you?" he asked gently, wo
