Unrequited Passion

Chapter 16 Astrid had nothing!

In the dim corridor, Astrid walked quickly. Her hands subconsciously wrapped around herself as if it was the only way to feel some security.

Mr. Francis' words were harsh, but they were true.

She was the woman in the prostitutes' quarter, making a living by singing. What was she got to be proud of?

Astrid was no longer the amazing and talented Miss Noelle. She had nothing left!

But she still had the most basic morals. Even with Carrie starving to Death in the streets, she would never sell her body or fall into men’s plaything. It was Astrid's last dignity.

"Raven, Mr. Francis didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Sammy Wilkes saw Astrid hunched over in the corner in the darkness. She was a bit puzzled, so she sat beside her.

Sensing the scent of someone coming, Astrid looked up at the person next to her and shook her head, "Is it my turn?"

Sammy nodded and saw Astrid get up with difficulty and walk toward the centre of the stage.

After singing, someone sent word that someone had ordered Astrid to drink with him. Astrid didn't dare to refuse. If she pissed off Mr. Francis and lost this job, what about Carina?

So she had no choice but to go.

The man who invited her was the same boss, Mr.Umber. Astrid entered the private room and saw a room full of men and women. Because of the last incident, she was naturally careful to deal with it. Mr. Umber touched her body while drinking, but she avoided his touch.

Astrid thought that after this drink, she would be done.

But Mr. Umber did not get his way last time, so how could he let her go quickly this time? Last time he thought she had something to do with Felix Gardner, but now it seemed that there was no relationship. So he was more reckless and wanted Astrid to spend the night with him.

But Astrid refused. Since there were still people from the Cloud Coast family in the room, he didn't dare to do something.

Astrid thought that was the end, but to her surprise, someone pulled her hair just as she walked out. Her scalp tingled, and she was dragged to the shadows. Then a cold voice came from her head.

"Bitch! You’re shameless and just a whore! Do you take yourself seriously?"

After saying that, he slammed Astrid's head against the wall.

A strong impact made Astrid's head about to explode. Before she could react, she was kicked in the stomach by Mr. Umber to the ground.

But she didn't say anything, just silently endured the man's kick. Until Mr. Umber reached out to rip her gown, Astrid had a resistance, "Get away..."

But the more she did, the more Mr. Umber got excited.

The noise here was getting louder and louder. It had also alarmed others. Many people dared not go forward. They saw Astrid’s clothes had been ripped, her face was full of blood, and there were bright red five-finger marks that shocked them.

"Get away? I didn't fuck you last time. Today I must fuck you to die, bitch!" Mr. Umber was drunk, and his words were highly vulgar.

As Astrid was desperate, a mellow male voice came behind them, "Let her go!"
