Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 58 Trust

"Sir, behave yourself," Melinda warned.

She arched an eyebrow and glared at the man who was staring at her like a hungry wolf.

Her eyes darted towards Yulia. She smirked at Melinda and stepped back as her heels grated against

the floor.

"Guys, did you hear what she said?" the man cackled. "Do any of you know what it means? Because I

don't."

Two more men emerged from the corner, and came to surround her from all sides. Melinda fisted her

palm and gritted her teeth. She could defeat one man but she was outnumbered by the enemies.

Melinda looked around helplessly, hoping for someone to miraculously appear from nowhere and help

her.

But the place was empty and no one was around to even find out that she was in trouble.

There were three men in total. The man who seemed like the leader of the gang was bald. He was

wearing a black vest and there were dragon tattoos in his arms, winding to his back. He removed his

sunglasses, letting his eyes wander across Melinda's body. He slipped off his leather jacket and slung it

on his shoulder.

The two men standing behind him—with short hair and a light gray sweaty shirt—altered their stance,

blocking all the possible escape paths.

Initially, Melinda thought that the whole thing was an accident but now she understood what had

happened. This was a pre-planned assault. They had been after her, waiting for the right chance to trap

her.

She glanced at Yulia again. The smirk on her face proved that she was behind all this.

Melinda had been too naive to believe that Yulia would change. But she was born evil and there was no

hope for her to mend her ways.

"What do you want?" Melinda asked, crossing her arms across her chest.

She would still have a chance if they were after her to demand a ransom. Yulia quickly glanced at the

men warningly.

She was aware that the men were lusting after money. If they found Melinda's offer to be more

attractive, they would join hands with her, and Yulia's efforts would be fruitless.

"I want a beauty like you," the bald man said, sweeping his tongue across his lips.

His assistants guffawed at Melinda, which made her squirm on the spot.

Melinda snuck her hand into the bag to find her phone and call the police. However, the man grabbed

her wrist tightly. Melinda let out a piercing scream as the man almost crushed her bones.

"Bitch, do you want to call the police?" he spat.

The man threw Melinda's bag on the ground and inched forward. She bit her lip as intense pain shot

through her hand. She tried wriggling out of the man's hold.

One of the men picked her purse and took out the money. He dropped her phone to the ground and

smashed it with his leg.

"Let me go," she cried.

"Shh... Don't waste your time screaming, honey. It's a rare thing to find a beauty like you. How can you

expect us to let go of you easily."

He ran his fingers across Melinda's arms that broke into goose bumps.

The bald man was aroused by Melinda's unadulterated beauty. The two men stepped closer with their

eyes fixed on her.

They were not willing to let go of her and dragged her away.

"Let her go!"

A deep male voice resonated across the empty space. Everyone turned their head to find who it was.

Jonas was standing beside the corner. He was a picture of pure rage.

A chill ran through Yulia's spine. She wondered how her brother managed to follow them all the way

here.

Melinda's racing heart seemed to slow down at the sight of Jonas. She felt relieved even though he

was looking murderous.

"Let her go! Otherwise, my brother will beat you to a pulp,"

Yulia said, signaling them to leave.

"I've called the police. They will be here at any time. Are you sure you want to torture my wife?"

Melinda's pale cheeks turned red as a wave of desire washed over her when she heard him call her his

wife. It somehow sounded sexy in his voice.

The two men panicked at the mention of the police. However, the bald man was transfixed by Melinda.

He couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Didn't you hear what my brother said? Leave her, or you will have to spend the rest of your lives in

jail," Yulia said anxiously.

The man was looking as if he wanted to eat Melinda alive. Yulia swallowed loudly and wiped her

sweaty palms on her dress. Jonas would find out that she was behind all this if he sent the man to jail.

He would never forgive her for that.

"I'm not afraid of the police," the bald man sneered distastefully.

Going to jail was not a big deal for him. He had his men inside, and getting out of the jail was a piece of

cake for him.

Therefore, he was unaffected by Jonas's taunts.

Melinda used all her strength to break free from his hold. But the man was strong and didn't budge.

Melinda closed her eyes and whimpered. She blew out a loud breath and bit the man's wrist. The man

yelped in pain and withdrew his hand.

She used the opportunity and darted towards Jonas as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand

as she felt disgusted to bite his filthy hand.

"You fucking bitch! Guys, bring her to me. I need to teach her a lesson. After I'm done enjoying her

body, she will be yours," the bald man bellowed.

The two men were excited. They couldn't wait to ravage Melinda. Melinda felt sick and resisted the

urge to throw up.

Jonas was seething with rage. He couldn't see the men pass filthy remarks about his wife. He wanted

to skin them alive.

As the two men ran towards Melinda with lustful eyes, Jonas stepped in front of her protectively. Yulia

panicked and ran away to hide.

The men were looking like they would go to any extent to have what they wanted. Jonas was puny

compared to the burly men, and Melinda was worried about him getting hurt. How would he take them

all down by himself?

Melinda's phone was taken away and she wasn't sure if Jonas had called the police or not. Even if he

did, she knew that they wouldn't be able to arrive on time.

"You are not afraid of death."

The bald man clenched his fists and puffed his chest as he advanced towards Jonas. He was looking

like a brutal beast, waiting to hunt Jonas down. Melinda's heart leapt to her throat. She couldn't see him

get hurt.

But Jonas remained calm. He effortlessly dodged the moves of the two men.

Melinda's eyes widened with shock. The bald man lunged forward and attacked him. All three of them

were aiming at Jonas and Melinda couldn't just stand there and wait for him to defeat them on his own.

She quickly ran forward but Jonas raised his hand. "Don't! Stay where you are," he ordered.

Melinda stopped abruptly. She wanted to go out and ask for help but she was too scared to take her

eyes away from Jonas. She witnessed everything with her heart drumming wildly in her chest.

Jonas punched the men violently, leaving bruises on their bodies. But the bald man was stronger and

agile. Jonas was struggling to defeat him.

Tears streamed down Melinda's cheeks. She clenched her fists tightly as her nails dug into her skin,

making the veins pop out.

No one was watching Yulia. She swallowed loudly and turned around to leave.

She couldn't stomach the violence as she felt sick in the stomach. Jonas was looking like a savage

beast now and she realized how gentle he was with her.

Jonas kicked the bald man in the shins and wiped the blood that was dribbling from the corner of his

mouth. He was looking like a sexy warrior and Melinda swooned at the sight of him.

"A bunch of trash!"

Jonas growled and stamped the bald man's hand, crushing it with the heel of his shoe. Everyone was

crying in pain but none of them seemed to have the strength to get up and fight him.

Melinda blinked and finally came back to her senses. Her jaw dropped in shock when she saw the men

lying on the ground. Jonas had valiantly taken down three men. He was looking like a badass.

Jonas had dealt with the men even before the police had arrived. Although the bald man was reluctant

to accept his defeat, he didn't dare to attack Jonas again.

He realized that the three of them were no match for the man in front of him. Jonas could have easily

murdered them if he wanted to.

"Jonas, are you okay?"

Melinda ran towards him and wiped the blood that continued to dribble from the corner of his mouth.

Jonas was hurt but he didn't show it. He slung his arm around Melinda's shoulder and staggered.

"It's okay. It's no big deal," Jonas said, glancing at the men who were writhing in pain.

The fight had attracted people's attention and a crowd had gathered around them. The men knew that

they didn't stand a chance against Jonas, so they held each other, and stood up to leave. The bald

man opened his mouth to say something. But he swallowed his words when he saw Jonas's eyes

pierce through him. The man shuddered at the sight of him and left.

"Jonas, you are hurt."

Melinda had seen the men attack Jonas right in front of her eyes. There were bruises and cuts all over

his body. Jonas's body seemed to visibly relax after the men left the mall. His body was limp and he Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

leaned heavily on Melinda. Unable to carry his weight anymore, Melinda leaned against the wall to

prevent them from falling.

"Yes," Jonas croaked. He didn't want to lie to her.

Melinda cupped his cheeks and stared into his eyes.

"Let me take you to the hospital, okay?" she whispered.

Although the Gu family had their private doctor, Melinda couldn't wait until the doctor arrived. The mall

was close to the hospital, so she decided to take him there. She didn't have the time to take Jonas to

the Gu's mansion. She wouldn't rest until she made sure he was okay.

Jonas nodded and left with Melinda. Emily, who had been watching them all this while, emerged from

the dark. Her eyes were blazing with anger.

It had taken a lot of time and effort for her to persuade Jonas to come out with her but Melinda had

ruined all her plans. Jonas had completely ignored her when he found that Melinda was in trouble.

She hated how Jonas blindly trusted Melinda. He had obeyed her every word and followed her like a

puppy. Jonas had never trusted anyone like this before and Emily became jealous. She couldn't see

them together.

Yulia was in shock when she entered the Gu's mansion. Everything was messed up. All her plans had

turned against her. She knew that Jonas wouldn't spare her if he found out the truth.
