Diablo obediently gave him the name.
He was honest. With a quick call, Stefan soon found out where the other person’s address was.
He was at a hotel in Sharnwick City. Not only that, but throughout the call, Stefan could hear the sounds of men’s cackling laughter and a woman’s wails in the background.
His heart lurched in his chest, and without hesitation, he set off toward the location of the hotel.
“Boss.”
Kurt turned to glance at Stefan with a frown. “If-I’m just saying, if–they really did something bad to Sis-in-law…”
He paused. “Would you kill all of them?”
Stefan glanced back at him. “Why? Are you scared?
Kurt shook his head and chuckled as he pulled his sleeves up. “I’m just a little excited. It’s been a while since I last saw you in action.’1
With that, he glanced out the window, then down at the GPS on his phone. “We must be arriving soon, aren’t we?”
Stefan nodded, then instructed Kurt to park the car they had stolen from Diablo at the side of the street before trudging into the hotel.
The hotel was, in fact, just a disguised brothel.
The moment they stepped out of the car, they could hear the chilling screams of a woman wailing in agony.
At that moment, Stefan could feel his heart leap into his throat.
Without another moment’s hesitation, he sprinted toward the room where the sounds were coming from.
A tall, burly man stood guard at the door. When he spotted Stefan and Kurt, he immediately stopped them. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
Stefan glanced at the man with a frown, then without hesitation, cocked his fist and punched him.
The man did not see this coming. He staggered backward, still lightheaded from the impact, and Stefan shoved him out of the way and sprinted up the stairs.
Kurt, on the other hand, paused for a moment before turning to the man and apologizing, “Sorry. My friend here’s kind of in a rush.”
With that, he followed Stefan’s footsteps.
The woman’s screams and the men’s cackles got louder as they ascended the second floor.
Stefan kicked the door open, his weapon poised in front of him like a madman.
The image of Gwen and her multiple suicide attempts materialized in his mind.
How she had gotten pregnant after her traumatic experience …and how she had almost taken her life.
Stefan’s eyes were bloodshot.
Ever since that happened to Gwen, he had sworn to protect Gwen with his life and shield her from all the harm that would come her way.
He was willing to sacrifice his life for her!
However, he never once thought that even after he ‘died’ and was forced to share a physical body with his twin brother, he would again allow Gwen to fall into this situation.
No one to protect her, no one to shield her from harm.
Gwen was helpless as her father was captured, but even she had fallen into Tyson’s hands and was a victim to these evil, lecherous men.
He swore to protect her, yet he had failed her. He left her alone to face the dangers of this world.
At this thought, Stefan’s sorrow and fury climaxed into a boiling rage, and he kicked the door open.
It was a horrendous sight.
A woman was bound to the bed with handcuffs, her bloodstained hair shielding her face. The bedspread was stained with blood and some unknown fluid.
A few men were poised in front of her eagerly, and a few of them were lounging in a corner as though they had finished their business.
The sight before him sent Stefan spiraling into a frenzied rage, and he started stabbing the first people he could lay his hands on.
Although these men were members of a gang, most of them were spineless crooks.
After a few of them got slashed by Stefan’s unrelenting blade, they all got on their knees to beg for mercy. “Please show us mercy, kind sir!”
“Sir, we haven’t even touched her…”
“We’ll gladly hand her over to you…”
Stefan ignored them all entirely and instead strode over to the woman.
He could not hear any of their voices, unable to hear a word of what they were saying.
All he could focus on was the injured woman on the bed.
“No…”
Although the woman was dazed and groggy, she could make out what was happening and knew someone had come to save her.
She lifted her head to glance at the man who rescued her.
She thought it would be Ben, or some other man she had slept with recently.
The moment Stefan stormed in, she decided to turn over a new leaf and was even willing to marry the man who saved her.
But…
When she lifted her head to glance at him, all she saw was a man wearing a mask. The only thing she could make out was his sharp, chiseled jawline.
Although she could not see what he truly looked like, she could tell that he was a handsome man, even with his mask on.
Not only was he handsome, but he was courageous and single-handedly rescued her from the despicable men who captured her.
“Who are you?”
Stefan furrowed his brows, his eyes etched with shock. “Where’s Gwen?”
The woman’s heart sank at this.
That explained why he was here.
He was here for Gwen!
“She’s Gwen…” whimpered one of the men cowering in a corner. “She’s Gwen. We caught her ourselves! When we found her, she was in bed with her ex-husband… What a slut!”
“Sir, don’t let her fool you. She’s just a slut. We’re just having some casual fun with her…”
“They’re right; she’s dirty and used. The only person who’d treasure her is Luke… Don’t let her fool you. You’ll get into trouble with our boss, Tyson if you do…”
Stefan furrowed his brow when he heard this.
He turned to glare at them, brandishing his knife. “Shut up!”
The room fell silent.
With that, Stefan walked over and removed the gag from the woman’s mouth, then sat next to her and lit a cigarette. “You were caught when you snuck into Gwen’s house with Ben, yes?”
He could not believe it when search Diablo first said this. He could not believe Gwen would do something like this, but he was still worried that Gwen was coerced by Ben into doing it, which was why he rushed over.
However, as he saw ‘Gwen’ for himself, he finally understood what was going on.
This woman was probably one of Ben’s newest girlfriends and had snuck into the house with Ben for some fun time but was unfortunately mistaken for Gwen and got caught.
The woman bit her lip when she heard Stefan’s voice. She replied hoarsely, “Yes… I’ve tried explaining to them that I’m not Gwen, but they refused to listen…”
With that, she gazed at Stefan pleadingly and whimpered,”
Even though I’m not Gwen…please take me from here. I’m willing to do anything. I’ll even marry you in return for saving me…”
Stefan furrowed his brow upon hearing this.
A split second later, he covered the woman’s naked body with the sheets and turned to glance at Kurt. “Take her away. It
