Chapter 2

"I am so sorry little one, are you okay?", she asked while endeavoring to help him out but the whole neighborhood witnessing what had happened, looked on the ground and saw young Bronson lying there. Bronson was still in a state of shock but Baker feeling sorry for him, helped him up while asking him where he was leading the way to but he could not answer her question as he was feeling so much pain. " Where do you live dear?", she asked and Bronson explaining that he resides just down the road, left Baker confused as she had looked around and noticed that the place was unfamiliar to her. Standing in anxiety as to the type of houses she could observe with designations on the wall, her attention was turned towards the group of guys that was coming her way. With the worried look and a deep breath, she asked where she was and Bronson answered, "This is Newbell". Baker's heart skipped a hundred times at the mention of the name. Her legs had suddenly become weak and the blood flowing from her forehead which as making her dizzy. She could not leave the young guy but she was surrounded and that made her feel more afraid. " Who are they?", she asked frightened but Bronson knowing why those men were there, could not say anything. In the twinkle of an eye, one of the men walked closer to them and pulled Bronson away from her. Baker filled with anger after seeing what had just happened, she tried to fight back as she thought that they wanted to hurt Bronson but Carter who had seen how guarding she was towards someone she did not know, stopped his boys from laying a finger on her. He came out clearly and looked at Baker with a bleeding head. His eyes screen through her body and her beauty especially captivated her. Her sea-blue eyes were one of her assets but her lips look so red. Her oval-shaped face was well placed on her neck, and his eyes continued to glance down the rest of her body parts. Baker was covered with fear as Carter stood in front of her like a demi-god. He's a tall and broad feature, made sweat run down her face and the tattoos on his torso, showed the kind of man he was. He looked fiercer and frightful but beneath that, she could catch a glimpse of his handsome that was very glaring.

"What do you want from me, I can give you money but please don't hurt me", Baker pleaded for her life but Carter had become soft all of a sudden which made his boys shout behind asking what they were to do with the pretty wealthy lady. Bronson could feel the tension in her eyes, so he knew that he needed to the interval as Baker looked like a nice person. Holding his brother by the arm, he whispered into his ears, and Baker got scared thinking that he was explaining the scene to Carter not knowing that they are brothers even. " No, no, I am so sorry for almost crushing one of you down. I was not in my right frame of mind and I can do give you anything you ask of me, I have credit cards and some cash in my car you can take everything but please let me go and I promise not to say anything that happened here today". She spoke out with so much fear in her voice and just when she thought that she had succeeded in doing something good, the crowd laughed out loud and she could listen to someone from the crowd who screamed out, "You are not leaving from here sweetie pie". She could notice that Carter was not talking and his silence was more disturbing than those of his boys. " Carter, give us the signal to take this girl inside", they raised their voices but just as the noise was adding, her head began to hurt more. Her balance was shaking while her vision became blurred. Noticing the way she was looking like, Carter moved closer to her and seeing his face was the last thing that her blurred vision could grasp before she finally lost consciousness. Carter's reaction was sudden as he caught her from reaching the ground while her face was filled with concern. Taking her into his arms, and feeling how soft her skin was, he walked across his lads, and without turning back, he instructed that "No one should touch anything that belongs to, and I mean nothing not even the wall of her car". There was total unrest as everyone looked at Carter not recognizing him. He has behaved in a surprising manner that had shocked everyone. " Do you think that she is okay?", Bronson asked they entered the house but Carter not being able to answer him, placed Baker on the couch and instructed that he goes and fetch their aunty as her help was needed urgently. He could not explain the feeling he was having but just by seeing Baker, he felt the need to protect her. Her head was bleeding seriously, and he had to do something while waiting for aunt Betty to arrive. He rose to his paws and left for the kitchen where he came back with a bowl of water to clean her had. "Where is she?", aunt Betty's voice could be given attention to at the entrance of the house and without any hesitation, she had joined him in the living room. " Oh my goodness, what happens to her?", she asked in shock and wondering what Carter was doing with wet clothing in his hands, Bronson asked in awe, "Are you wiping off her blood Carter?". The question came out surprisingly, but aunt Betty was more concerned with the situation that Baker was in, she asked Carter to get a first aid kit and bring it to her faster.
