Adrian's POV
My ears twitched as I listened for their movements. I heard Alicia's voice, panicked and struggling. "No! Let me go! Let me go!"
"Shut up, brat!"
"No! Daddy! Daddy, help me!"
"I said shut up or else... Ahhhh! You little bitch! How dare you bite me! Look how I'll deal with you!"
That was it. Hearing that, I jumped out from my hiding spot. The moment I saw the scene infront of me, red flashed through my eyes. My daughter was crying, and a man had raised his hand, ready to slap her.
Something inside me snapped.
I didn't think, didn't plan. I just moved. I crossed the distance in seconds, my hand shooting out to grab the man's wrist just as he raised it to strike my daughter.
His eyes went wide with shock as he stared at me. "You! Who are you?! How did you get here?"
It was not only him, but others who were also present in the room who were laughing and having fun, were shocked to see me.
"Daddy!" I heard my daughter's joyful shout.
