After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 973

Chapter 973: Cassandra’s Unheard Pleas

Soon, the time for the families to meet has arrived and Cassandra felt she would never be ready. This was going to be held in Eshno’s Villa, where she and her parents would come and greet him.

Normally, the groom would greet the bride’s family to show respect to them (not the bride, just the family) but Eshno decided that it should be done at his house instead.

Jacoba really needed Eshno’s partnership to ensure that demand for their own products, so her father and mother followed his wishes like fools.

In any case, the fact that they agreed to do this put the entire family in a humble position. Eshno became even more blatant in consequence.

He looked at her with such sticky eyes that it was no different from actually touching her. Her stomach dropped, making her want to vomit again.

“So beautiful…” he said, stepping forward. Raising his palms as if he wanted to touch her face.

She immediately stepped away. “Please stop,” she said, as nicely as she could, even when her stomach tumbled at his mere proximity.

Tradition allowed a man and a woman to meet before the wedding. However, they were not to touch. This was what calmed her down even if she knew she’d have to meet with him.

“Yes, yes, you must be shy,” he said, grinning. He didn’t seem to see nor care for her discomfort, extending his oily hands to touch her face again.

She stepped back, avoiding his hand again. “Please, it is against tradition.”

He frowned and looked around. His frown transformed into a sneer when he saw that no one from Jacoba’s side seemed to care about this tradition. Of course, neither did his side.

“Who cares about that—”

He said, hurriedly grabbing her. When she instinctively avoided, he just gestured to carry her.

She screamed, moving by reflex. “How dare you!” She yelled. She immediately slapped him by instinct, creeped out by the feeling of his hands on hers.

Although their levels were similar, this guy was incredibly weak. Her slap caused him to fall down, making the people in the room gasp.

“SIR!”

“CASSANDRA!” Her parents yelled, looking at her as if she had done something heinous.

Cassandra paled, her heart dropping. “I—”

The humiliation was naturally not something Eshno would let pass. He glared at her, slapping the floor under him. “Tie her up! I want her on my bed, NOW!!”

Cassandra’s eyes widened. No! This was not in the plan! She didn’t have her potion yet! She was not ready!!

She paled when she saw the guards—not just his, but also from her family—approach her, intending to hold her down. She was soon surrounded and her hopes to escape had become nill.

It felt like her blood froze, the reality of the situation sinking in.

“No! Stop!!” she yelled, stepping back and prepared to shield herself as necessary. She kicked the nearest person on the shin, and she even used the skills she learned from the family to defend herself.

“YOU!” her father yelled, eyes red. However, instead of appreciation, he looked humiliated. It was a face that asked: How dare she use the family skill, especially to ruin his plans?!

She had become desperate in her struggle, especially when stronger guards surrounded her, holding her arms and her legs.

“No… please…” she gasped, eyes filled with terror. What was worse was when they tied her up with a magic tool—one that could easily hold a level 40 and below!

When even her ability to struggle was taken away from her, tears completely fell down her eyes.

No. Nononono—

This can’t be happening—

Cassandra whipped her head and looked at her family, who were just watching this farce from the side. She didn’t have much hope, but they were her only hope now. “Father! Mother! Please!!”

But they just looked at her without changing expressions. Her heart completely turned cold, heartbroken.

Most of all, she felt fear. More than for herself, she feared for her child more! If this happened… it would die! Then she might as well follow!

She could only get carried upwards, and the mix of fear and heartbreak filled her heart, filling her eyes with tears.

As they carried her to the room, one of the servants looked worried, slightly blocking Esho’s way. For a moment, Cassandra had the illogical hope that maybe something can still change.

“Sir, the wedding—”

“I won’t abuse it,” he said and the servant’s shoulder slumped and walked aside, not caring anymore.

She was taken to the room and thrown to the bed, her body always leaning towards the door. When it closed, it felt like the last bit of hope in her was finally extinguished.

Eshno looked at Cassandra with greedy eyes filled with both lust and vindictiveness.

She tried to struggle as much as she could, but she couldn’t do it without care for fear of hurting the baby.

She felt so helpless and weak. Her body and heart felt too heavy, and her tears pooled so much she couldn’t stop them anymore.

“Stop please!” She sobbed, pleading. She begged and begged even after he tied her ropes to the bed, raising her arms above her head. Her legs though weren’t tied for convenience of the imminent lovemaking.

“Aww, don’t cry my love. I’ll make you feel real good….” he said, licking her tears away. His grimy hands touched her curves, eventually finding its way under her dress.

“No—” she yelled as he ripped her clothing apart, revealing her luscious curves, and causing the man to gulp hungrily at the glorious sight.

“WOW. What a beauty!” he yelled, practically drooling on her. “My friends said noble women may not necessarily be as seductive as the whores, but you really proved him wrong!”

“Wuu… please… don’t,” Cassandra pleaded, closing her legs. However, Eshno’s big hands held her thighs and he forced them open.

She bit her lips as he undressed as well, soon looming over her. However, Cassandra saw it as her chance and kicked him as strongly as she could.

BANG!

The next thing he knew, his naked body was sprawled on the floor in a humiliating way.

His eyes turned red.

“THIS BITCHHH!!”
