Chapter 147: Why? WHY....? WHY???!!!
Asher was taken aback by the young lady's sudden outburst. He stood there motionless for a few seconds, unsure of how to handle the situation.
'Kill her? What the hell is she talking about? Why would she ask someone to kill her?' A frown appeared on his face as he pondered over what she meant. He could see the anguish written all over her beautiful face as she pleaded for death.
"Hey, relax. Don't be so hasty." Asher tried to calm her down. "Whatever your problem is, it'll be okay. Just tell me what is wrong with you. Maybe I can help you."
However, the red-haired beauty shook her head as tears continued to flow down her face. "There's no way you can help me now! You wouldn't understand. It's better if I die now before something happens that I will regret later."
Scarlet was perplexed by the stranger's sudden kindness toward her, but she was hesitant to open up to him as she didn't know who he was or where he came from. She wanted to trust him, but she feared he would take advantage of her vulnerable state, like all the other men would do if they knew what happened to her.
Meanwhile, she continued to struggle against her body's cravings, refusing to give in to her carnal desires as she did not want to end up like a slave of lust and passion.
Asher noticed the conflicting emotions within the young lady's eyes as she stared at him, which only served to pique his curiosity even more.
He crouched down next to her, his eyes meeting hers, but she looked away in shame and embarrassment. She was afraid of what the young man might think of her while looking at her current condition.
"Please...please kill me...I beg you! Please end this torture... I can't live like this...I'd rather be dead." Scarlet begged with all her strength left, unable to handle the overwhelming sensation her body was experiencing.
As she continued to beg for death, Asher could no longer remain silent, and asked in a soft voice, "Tell me what happened to you. Tell me why you're in such a painful state. After that, I'll consider whether or not I want to do what you ask of me. However, if you are not going to be honest with me, then I will have no choice but to leave."
For a moment, she hesitated about revealing her situation, but as she stared into his eyes, she only saw compassion within them and started explaining everything that happened to her, including how she got drugged by her former friend and almost violated by another man, while tears continued flowing down her cheeks.
After listening to her story, Asher became enraged as he learned how she was in a terrible predicament that resulted from the betrayal of her close friend.
'Why does this type of lowly villain always appear everywhere, trying to ruin women's lives? It was the same with Maria, and now it's this young lady. How can there be such villains in this world? Why can't they accept that everyone has the freedom to choose their own happiness? What gives them the right to impose their wills on others and take away their freedom of choice?'
'What the fuck is wrong with these people?!'
A fierce glint flashed across Asher's eyes as he swore to seek justice for this young lady before him. However, he couldn't do it just yet—not until he had saved her first.
'I swear that I will teach Rick Cutler a lesson someday.'
The young man took a deep breath before calming himself down and focusing his attention on helping the beautiful young lady in front of him.
"I have... told... you... everything now... Please... Please kill me..." Scarlet pleaded for her death as tears rolled down her cheeks once more.
Seeing this, Asher couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Why are you in such a hurry to die? I haven't even said whether or not I am going to do as you say. Listen carefully, young lady; you can't die yet because I won't allow you to!"
Those words caught Scarlet off guard, and she raised her head to look at the handsome young man crouching down beside her with an incredulous expression written all over her beautiful face. "W-why? Why would you not let me die? Are you also one of those men who wish to defile my body?"
Scarlet questioned, her heart sinking as she wondered if she had gotten herself involved with yet another villain who had malicious intentions toward her. 'Why are the heavens so cruel to me? Can't I find even a single person to rely on in this world? Is it my fate to be defiled and humiliated, no matter where I go?
Am I really cursed by heaven itself and destined to suffer this cruel torture of living? Or is it because I had committed some unforgivable sin in my past life and this is my punishment for that?'
"Ahhh..." At that moment, her lust flared up once more, and Scarlet let out a sensual moan.
Feeling that she was about to lose to the effects of the drug, she despaired even more and finally broke down as she cried out loud, "Why? WHY....? WHY???!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME, HEAVENS?!!!! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE SUCH TORTURE?!! I WAS JUST A NORMAL GIRL BEFORE AND NEVER HURT ANYONE IN MY LIFE, SO WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED LIKE THIS?!!!"
Seeing Scarlet breaking down and losing hope in herself, Asher felt terrible, and he wanted to do something to console her. However, he knew that what he had said next would either lift her spirits or break them entirely.
'What should I do? Should I follow her wishes and kill her to ease her suffering, or should I..." Asher thought for a moment, trying to make the correct decision. 'Damn it. What the hell is the correct answer in this situation? This is driving me insane!'
