Chapter 24 Chapter 24 4/10 +23 Octavia was frantic with worry , afraid that Joycelyn would make her escape .
She rushed over as fast as she could .
When she saw the half open door , she cautiously stepped inside .
The room was dim , the lighting hazy and unclear .
Octavia tentatively called out , Joycelyn ? Joycelyn was hiding by the door , waiting for her to approach .
Octavia walked further into the room and froze when she saw Tommy lying on the floor .
Her heart skipped a beat .
In her panic , she noticed a shadow beside her .
She was about to turn around when something heavy struck her .
Her vision went black , and she crumpled to the ground , unconscious .
Joycelyn wiped the fingerprints off the hair dryer and put it back in place .
Then , she grabbed a handful of water and splashed it onto Tommys face , kicking him twice to wake him up .
Afterward , she quickly ran to the door , turned off the lights , and shut it behind her .
The cold water brought Tommy back to his senses .
As soon as he regained consciousness , he felt a woman lying next to him .
Without a second thought , he rolled over , pinning Octavia beneath him , and slapped her several times .
Dammit , you asked for this , he growled , each slap hard and unforgiving .
Octavia snapped back to reality , her body recoiling as she felt a filthy hand groping her .
Her skirt was torn , and he was about to assault her .
Terrified , she begged , Mr.
Cross , Im not Joycelyn .
Im your sons girlfriend , Octavia .
She struggled desperately , but Tommy was like a heavy weight on top of her , and she couldnt move .
Tommy didnt care .
His mind was clouded by lust and rage , and all he wanted was to take out his frustration on the woman beneath him .
At the door , Joycelyn could hear Octavias cries of pain .
This time , she felt no sympathy .
If she hadnt escaped , it would have been her in that position .
Just as she was closing the door , she bumped into a solid chest , nearly screaming in shock .
Its me , Ellison said , breathless from running .
Sweat was pouring down his forehead and neck .
His deep , dark eyes , once filled with worry , had now settled into a calm , composed focus .
Joycelyn had been scared out of her mind , but when she saw Ellison , it was like shed found her anchor .
She pouted , then threw herself into his arms , her voice small and full of quiet vulnerability .
Finally youre here .
Having never been through anything like that , let alone been in a fight , Joycelyn was shaken .
She clung to Ellison , her whole body trembling .
Ellison wrapped her tightly in his arms , relieved to find she was unharmed .
He let out a deep breath .
Are you okay ? Who told you to drink ? I … Joycelyn started to explain , but just then , lewd insults echoed from the room .
It was clear the two inside had already crossed the line .

Her voice was guilty but stubborn .
Using her own methods against her .
Not a bad move , Ellison said .
Dont you think thats kind of vicious ? Joycelyn asked , still a little shaken by what had happened .
She was the one who set you up first .
If you hadnt been lucky , youd be the one being humiliated .
If it were me , Id have sent more men for her .
Joycelyns guilty expression brightened immediately , her eyes wide .
Ellisons gaze softened for a moment , then turned cold as he locked eyes with her , his voice firm .
Id rather you hurt others than let them hurt you .
Joycelyn looked up at him , a strange sense of awe washing over her .
She thought , No wonder he is the CEO his sense of responsibility is off the charts .
Just then , the elevator reached the underground parking lot , and Ellison carried her out .
Let me down , I can walk , Joycelyn said , still not used to being carried .
Someones coming , Ellison said abruptly .
Ah ! Joycelyn jumped , immediately ducking her head and pressing her face against his chest , too embarrassed to look up .
Stay hidden .
Well talk when we get home .
Ellisons voice was low and serious .
He thought , She needs to be taught a lesson about drinking outside .
If this isnt handled , who knows what could happen next time ? He pinched her waist , a silent reminder to be more careful in the future .
Joycelyn was a little irritated , and the alcohol still had her he small act of revenge .
