Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 77: His concern

It was dark. There was no telling how much time had passed. A jingling sound similar to keys banged against each other resounding inside the dark room. After a while, the door opened. Two figures appeared inside the room.

"Serena?" Luca looked around the dark room and turned on the flashlight of the phone.

In an instant, the whole room lit up.

Next Cristian also saw the inside of the room. A tiny figure was huddled in the corner, holding her knees with her hands hiding her head. The person had become a small ball. It resembled a squatting kitten.

The headband for her long hair had broken off so that her hair was scattered everywhere, flowing haphazardly down her shoulders and covering her face and ears.

The whole thing was indescribable. Cristian felt despair and coldness coming from his body.

Everything was obvious from head to toe.

"What happened?" Crisitian frowned, but did not speak.

"What's wrong with her?"

Cristian asked, and Luca took a step forward. "Serena ?"

The cowering person did not answer, did not move even a little, and sat completely still.

"Serena? Serena?" Luca called her twice with snapping eyes, seeing that there was no movement.

The huddled person did not react; she looked dead.

Luca turned his head and glanced at Cristian. His eyes were completely white and lifeless.

"Sir..."

Cristian pushed his wheelchair forward and stood next to Serena, in a clear, cold voice he exclaimed, "Lift your head!"

But she did not react.

Luca's heart throbbed with despondency. What had happened to Serena? Was it all in vain what he had said repeatedly to those people? Was it those people who had hurt her? "My patience has a limit. I'll give you three seconds to raise your head!" continued Cristian shouted.

It was as if the cowering person had not heard. Cristian's eyes gasped. Suddenly he thought of doing something, grabbed Serena's wrist and lifted her up himself.

The tiny person was pulled forward without resistance and a pale white face appeared before Crisitan's eyes.

Luca behind him could not help but catch his breath.

Crisitan's eyes narrowed, looking at Serena in front of him.

Her cheeks completely colorlessM Even the color of her upper lip had faded. Her eyes were calm as water. There was no sign of anger.

Cristian's thin lips moved and in a deep voice he asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Serena sat motionlessly

Her eyes were devoid of energy. Cristian saw that they could not focus. It was as if she could not see him.

"Damn it!"

"What is happening to her?"

Cristian suddenly became furious and scolded those behind him, "Check what's going on!?"

Seeing Cristian's fury, Luke looked again at Serena's neglected appearance and realized the seriousness of the matter, turned around and went to call someone.

Cristian and Serena remained in the room. He tightened his lips and in a cold tone asked, "What happened to you?"

Serena maintained her original position, not moving.

"Damn!"

Cristian narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking intently at the pale-faced, blurry-eyed woman in front of him.

For the first time he realized that he was powerless before a woman.

He could neither touch nor scream.

Cristian felt guilty about what had happened to her; if it had not been for him, she would not have become like this.

"Serena, are you pretending or can't you really see me?" After a while, he asked again.

As the facts proved, Serena did not react. Cristian felt helpless for the first time. He reached out his hand to push her into his arms. Serena on the other hand remained inanimate like a dummy letting Cristian approach her and making her lie in his arms.

Cristian felt his heart trembling; something was changing.

Those two big cold hands were incapable of standing still.

"Tell me if they teased you, I will bring the justice back for you."

The person in his lap did not react

"Woman, you'd better be sober. The last time you got drunk you were crying. Can you solve the problem now that you're doing this?"

But although he repeated them several times, Serena continued not to answer him.

Luke quickly arrived bringing a man with him. Once he entered the man asked him in a trembling voice, "Mr., Mr. Cristian...did something happen?" Hearing him speak, Cristian's body was clothed in a great aura. He turned his gaze toward the man staring at him intensely.

"What did you do to her?"

The man shuddered and his feet trembled, he replied, "Sir, we...did nothing!"

They were not so far-sighted. This woman had a very close relationship with Cristian. How could they have done anything to her?

Cristian's eyes narrowed, looking at Serena in front of him.

The man suddenly became frightened, kneeling on the floor with his feeble legs, speaking with difficulty.

"Mr. Cristian...we actually didn't do anything to her. Assistant Russo told us we couldn't touch her, so we took her to this room locking her up and waiting for your orders."

It didn't look like he was lying. She was just locked up, so how had she become like this?

Cristian squinted his eyes, "Did something happen in between?"

The man paused, recalled to mind and then answered, "Nothing happened. After we locked her up here she was quiet, and she didn't make any noise."

"She didn't make any noise?"

Crisitan's gaze became more serious.

After a while the man exclaimed, "But...since she has been too quiet, we forgot that she was locked up. From morning to night...forgetting to bring her...food."

When he stopped talking, the man seemed to expect her death and his body shuddered.

"What are you saying? "Before Cristian could speak, Luca, who was standing and listening, attacked, "Are you people still human? Don't you feed people who are hungry?" "We apologize. We didn't do it on purpose...She doesn't speak. Is she hungry?"

A day without eating, moreover being pregnant. Maybe she was really hungry.

Luke was ashamed of this incident, so he could only say, "Sir, if we don't come back? She's been hungry for a day and will be sick."

Cristian's gaze grew lightning-fast, but he finally nodded, then Luca pushed back his chair.

At some point, Serena lying on his body closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she went to bed, Cristian realized that she had fainted.

Cristian's expression changed, "Go directly to the hospital and call Maya to prepare something simple to send to the hospital."
