Page 69 of Owned By Frank

I fall hard on the ground and cry out in pain.

I raise my eyes and find a huge guy. He holds a gun and points it at me. He comes up to me and when I least expect it, I hit his leg, causing him to fall to the ground while he is cursing.

I step on his hand and make him drop the gun but then he hits my stomach with his fist.

I get down in pain and try to breathe. The man stops quickly and without further ado, the palm of his hand slams into my cheek and knocks me down once more.

I feel the metallic taste of blood on my lower lip.

The guy approaches again, but just as he raises his fist, someone throws himself at him and starts hitting him.

I quickly stand up and notice that it is Frank. It hits him again and again with great force.

- You piece of shit! - he shouts, hitting him with a lot of anger.

In the end he leaves him totally unconscious.

Frank stands up and quickly runs towards me to help me get up. He grabs my cheeks and carefully examines my face.

He wipes the blood from my lip and just squeezes me against his body to hold me tightly.

- Didn't I tell you to get to somewhere safe? – He sounds worried.

- Don't you know that I don't obey anyone? - I say the same thing - I'm sorry, but I had to know if you were okay.

His laughter can be heard and he carefully pushes his lips against mine.

Dante comes to us in a hurry.

- Frank, they are getting closer! - he says in an agitated voice. His gaze falls on me and he searches around me - and Nathalie? - he asks with concern.

- It's safe, don't worry...

He nods with relief.

- How many men are there? - Frank asks.

- Around twenty or more...

- Fuck! - he curses.

We heard gunshots very close and that's when I got paralyzed. Frank sees me and smiles and then looks at Dante.

- Take care of her. - That's all it says.

Before I can speak Dante covers my mouth and pulls us in the bushes to hide.

I try to get out of the way but Dante puts a lot of strength into it.

Several men surround Frank and I kept trying to get loose. I drown out a scream when I see him being hit hard, the tears didn't stop as I watch him get hurt.

In the end they leave him unconscious and just take him away.

They put him in one of the cars and drive away, Dante releases his grip and I let out a sob. +

- Frank...
