You Are Mine (English)

Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Stay Away From Her

Tim looked at Tom and said, "Don’t say anything until we get there." He nodded his head, and they drove the rest of the way in silence. After twenty minutes of driving, they arrived at an abandoned factory. The SUV pulled into the back of the building, and three men came out and went over and waited for Tim and Tom to get out. "Did you get her?" One of the men asked.

Tim pointed to the back seat and smiled. "Take a look for yourself." The men peeked in the window and started laughing. One of them said, "She’s in for a treat, isn’t she?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Tom looked at them and motioned for them to move out of the way. "You can have your fun with her after I’m finished. Get her and take her inside and grab the stuff out of the trunk," he ordered.

The car door opened, and two men took Edie out and took her inside and sat her in a chair. One of the men couldn’t keep his eyes off her and said, "This one is gorgeous. I can’t wait until it’s my turn."

"Yeah! Me too!" Another man replied.

Tom’s patience was wearing thin. "This one’s feisty. After what I’ve been through with her, Don’t take your eyes off her. We have a job to do, so let’s stay focused and when it’s done." He looks at Edie and says, "Then one by one, we’ll have our way with her."

Edie was shaking and trying not to cry. All she wanted in the world was to see Stuart. She looked around, trying to concentrate on her surroundings, but she was afraid to take her eyes off the men. One of the men sets up the camera and says, "It’s ready. I’ve contacted the weekly gossip magazine and told them I’d have a picture for their headlines tomorrow." He lingered a moment, a vicious smile now etched on his face. "They’re willing to pay quite a bit."

"Take her clothes off," Tim ordered.

Tom put his hand in the air and shook his head as he walked over to Edie. "I’ll do it." His eyes got wide, and he swallowed hard. His hands were shaking so badly as he tried to undo her button.

Tim stood behind the camera, waiting. He looked irritated and annoyed. He walks over to him and kicks him in the shin. "Damn it! Hurry up! You’d think she was your wife or something," he demands.

The anger in his voice frightens Edie even more, and she tries to speak. "Please...."

"Shut up!" Tom said. He didn’t care about the buttons anymore. He grabbed Edie’s blouse and ripped it open. He stood there, staring at her. All of the men in the room were hooligans and had never been with a woman with great importance before. Tom could feel himself getting aroused. He found himself soothed by her beauty and mellow voice. "Oh, you’re going to have lots of fun before you die. First, a little appetizer before the big meal," he said.

Tim touched Edie’s cheek and was just about to take the rest of her blouse off when the door was suddenly busted open. There were at least ten men dressed in black, wearing bulletproof vests. They divided into two separate groups and surrounded the kidnappers. Tom looks at them and asks, "Who the hell are you? Did the boss send you?"

Suddenly an angry voice steps out from behind the men."No! I’m not the boss," Clyde said. He rushes over to Edie. "Look what they’ve done to you," he said as he looks at the blood coming from her lips. Clyde was red with fury, and he wanted to kill every one of the kidnappers. He reaches out and puts his jacket around Edie.

Edie raised her eyes and saw the grief etched on Clyde’s face. "You found me," she said, and then she lost consciousness.

However, Tom wasn’t going to give up that easily. He stepped towards Clyde and said. "Come on now. You can have some fun with her too. I’ll even let you go first....."

Clyde was furious and struck him hard in the face. Tom fell to the ground. Clyde spits on him. "You are nothing, and you will pay the price for doing this," he said, true rage in his voice.

Tom was rolling back and forth on the ground in pain. "Do you know who I’m working for? The Herrings will make you pay," he cried out.

Clyde, reddened, his eyes flashed, he exploded, "Did you just say, Herring! And I was worried, I would have to beat the shit out of you to get the name of the person who did this to her."

"No...I didn’t..." Tom said. He was in so much pain; he didn’t even realize he blurted out the name of his boss.

Clyde kneeled down beside him and raised his voice, so everyone in the room could hear. "Not only will all of you pay, but the Herring family will pay as well." Then he stood up and went over to Edie and picked her up. As he was walking out the door, he ordered, "Make every one of them suffer."

"Yes! Mr. Jackson," the man said.

Clyde sat in the waiting area with a blank expression on his face. He could hear footsteps coming from behind him. As he turned to look, he was grabbed by the shirt and pulled to his feet. "This is how you protect her," Stuart said, his voice was colder than ever.

Clyde lowered his head, feeling guilty for not being able to protect Edie from the kidnappers. "I’m..." he uttered before Stuart punched him in the face. Stuart showed him no mercy and struck him two more times. Once in the face and twice in the stomach. Clyde looked at Stuart, and the blood was dripping from his mouth. He wiped it away and said, "Please forgive. I’m sorry."

Stuart glared at him and said, "You stay away from her."

Clyde started to panic. "Give me another chance, please," he begged.

Stuart felt anger rising in him. His jaw clamped tight. Rage filled his eyes. He stood silent for a moment and then said, "Give you another chance to have her hurt. Why do you think the Herring’s wanted her kidnapped? Tell me it didn’t have anything to do with you? You can’t, can you?"

"No, I can’t. I’ve seen those men before; they’re Vicky’s bodyguards. I never thought she’d be capable of doing such a vindictive act." Clyde explained. "This is hard for me too. I can’t stop thinking if I was one minute later what would have happened to Edie." He lowered his head. "It was all because of me. Because I didn’t deal with Vicky appropriately, I’m sorry, I never wanted any harm to come to her."

"Listen to me very carefully. You being in my wife’s life is putting her in danger. So maybe you shouldn’t reveal to her that you are her brother. She needs protection, and it’s obvious you can’t give it to her." Stuart’s voice was cold and harsh.

Clyde shook his head and said, "No! Give me another chance. I’ll take care of it, and then I’ll tell Edie who I really am."

Looking at the expression on Clyde’s face and hearing the sincerity in his voice. Stuart knew how much Clyde cared for his sister. "You have three months," Stuart said.
