Shame covered Kiara's body. She bit down hard on the base of her tongue, ready to take her own life.
Just as she was about to end her life, a man appeared from the light and knocked those men aside with one kick. “What are you doing?!”
He moved closer, kicked the bodyguards away, removed his jacket, and placed it over her.
Kiara shook without control. The man spoke softly, “Don’t be scared. Your adoptive father sent me to bring you home. My name is Santino Riley.”
Her eyes turned red as she asked, “Are you the one father sent?”
He nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m the one your adoptive father sent. I did not expect this group of people to dare treat you like this.”
Kiara slowly settled down. “Can you help me up?”
She had been too frightened, and her body felt weak, so she could not stand.
Finally, Santino lowered himself and picked her up.
His people held down those men. “How do you wish to handle them?”
The men who had tried to violate Kiara just before quickly fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
“Miss Chavez, we made a mistake. Dorothy instructed us. Please forgive us.”
Kiara looked at them coldly. She showed no mercy and no kindness.
