Chapter 0056 Chapter 0056 Ella POV I was shoved hard against the brick wall of the alleyway .
My head hit the hard bricks , and my vision went white for a moment from the pain .
I tried to push the man away , but he was much larger than me .
My heart raced with fear as I struggled to pull my arms free from his grip .
When I couldnt , I attempted to knee him in the groin , but he was standing too close .
He pressed himself up against me , and a shiver of disgust ran through me at the contact .
Get away from me ! I yelled.
The man laughed and leaned in , bringing his face close to mine .
Struggling is only going to get you hurt , princess , he said in a rough voice .
Just cooperate , and Ill let you go .
What do you want ? I demanded , glaring at him defiantly .
The man smirked at me .
Lets start with a kiss , he said .
וו Panic overtook me , and I screamed , but he put his hand over my mouth to muffle the sound .
What did I just tell you about struggling ? he asked .
My mind was racing , searching for a solution to get me out of this , but I could find none .
No one knew exactly where I was right now .
Thad foolishly insisted that I no longer needed a guard .
I thought that now that David and Amanda had been exposed , the danger for me had passed .
But it seemed that was wrong , and now I was trapped here , unable to free myself .
The man was clearly much stronger than me , but that wouldnt stop me from fighting back .
Whatever he wanted from me , he wasnt going to get it without a fight .
The man held my wrists and moved forward .
I turned my head away and pulled my arms as hard as I could , but his grip was like steel .
Then , suddenly , the man was yanked backward .
He cried out in surprise and anger , whirling around to see who was interfering with his plans .
When his grip on me loosened , I yanked my arms free and scrambled away toward the mouth of the alley .
I didnt look back until I was on the sidewalk , and when I did , I gasped in shock the person who had come to my rescue was David .
David and the man who had attacked me were grappling in the alleyway .
The man landed a strong punch against David , causing him to stumble backward .

I hesitated , uncertain about whether I should help him or not .
I couldnt understand how he was here right now , but the man was actually hitting David .
I could see blood trickling from his nose .
I began to scream for help .
It took a few moments for my cries to gain any attention , but soon people were rushing toward the alleyway to see what was happening .
Guards ! I cried out .
Someone , bring the city guard ! At those words , my attacker suddenly stopped fighting with David and turned to flee down the other end of the alley .
David didnt pursue him ; instead , he turned and hurried toward me .
Ella , are you hurt ? he asked with concern .
Please tell me I stopped him in time .
Chapter 56 +25 BONUS Im not hurt , I answered .
What is going on ? Who was that man , and what are you doing here? Im so glad I stopped him before he got his filthy rogue hands on you .
David reached to hug me and I stood still as he did .
I didnt know what to do .
My heart was thundering from the fear that I was still experiencing .
David pulled away from the hug and looked at me with concern .
Ella , are you okay ? David , I dont understand whats happening , I said .
I could hear people around us shouting .
The guards had been summoned and were pursuing the man .
I knew that they would need to question me , so as much as I wanted to get somewhere safe , I couldnt leave yet .
My head was spinning as I tried to figure out what to do .
I needed to call my father and tell him what had happened , but I didnt want to do that until I actually had answers for him .
I doubted very much that the guards would catch the man ; he had gotten a head start , and he seemed very strong .
David was the only person I could turn to for an explanation he seemed to have at least some idea of what had happened .
Whats going on ?! I heard my father shout from nearby .
Iturned towards the sound of his voice and ran to him .
He wrapped me in a tight hug and held onto me protectively Ella was attacked by a rogue , David explained .
Im only glad that I got to her in time .
Im glad too , my father said reluctantly .
But how did you know this would happen ? I looked up at my father in surprise .
It hadnt occurred to the that David must have known beforehand this was coming .
I must have been in shock Amanda is the one who hired him , David answered , a pained expression on his face .
I dont know why she would do something as foolish as this .
I dont even know how she got in contact with a rogue .
How did you find out about it ? my father asked .
She told me , David said .
I dont think she meant to , but she was hysterical .
She showed up at my house , demanding to talk to me and wouldnt leave .
I went to her just to tell her to go away , that I no longer wished to see her .
Thats when she said what she had done .
What was she trying to gain ? I dont understand , I said .
The man was meant to … David hesitated and looked away from me .
Kiss you , he said .
He had a camera set up to capture images so that it would look like the two of you were in a romantic relationship .
She planned to leak the images to damage your reputation the way that hers was damaged .
Of course , she would be angry with me and likely jealous that David was continuing to pursue me .
But I never could have imagined she would go to these lengths .
I should have , though .
I should have known that the woman who was capable of poisoning me was capable of anything .
Any little shreds of sympathy I had left for Amanda were gone now .
If thats true , shes going to answer for what shes done , my father said angrily.
A strange look crossed Davids face , but he nodded in understanding I understand alpha , he said seriously .
We have to do everything we can to protect Ella .
What do you mean we ? I demanded .
This changes nothing between us .
1 chapter cate David stared at me in shock .
What do you mean this changes nothing ? I saved you ! Amanda wouldnt be attacking me if it werent for you ! I shouted .
Why you- David started to approach me , but my father stepped in front of him .
