My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Almost Beaten Up
Selene had her scene in the evening and decided to leave but halted when Kael called her. She turned to look at him.

“The director wants to take us to lunch tomorrow as a treat for a job well done,” he informed, scratching the back of his head slightly. “Will you be coming?” He asked.

Selene stared at him. He looked completely different from the first time they met. Even though they had become friends, she still couldn’t forget the look of disdain he directed towards her on the first day they met.

But apart from that, she felt the sudden urge to ruffle his hair and call him ‘good boy’ when he performed a scene right.

“I will,” she responded.

She waved Kael goodbye and headed towards the parking lot. Her manager had offered to drive her home but she’d declined. She wasn’t too tired to drive home. She couldn’t wait to get in Xavier’s arms and smell his cologne.

Just when Selene was about to get into her car, she felt a cold metal at the back of her head.

“Don’t try to do anything funny or I will blow your brains out,” a voice threatened.

Selene paled.

‘This is what I get for going home all alone.’

“Turn around,” another voice completely different from the first person ordered.

Slowly, Selene turned as instructed. It didn’t take a genius to guess she was being robbed when she saw their faces covered with black masks. But she was also curious to know what they wanted to do with the baseball bats in their hands since they had a gun.

Before her stood two men who wore ragged clothes, and gloves on their hands while one pointed a gun at her.

Selene couldn’t help but wonder how they’d gotten into the parking lot. There was supposed to be security guarding the front gate.

“What do you want? Money?” She questioned, her eyes glaring into their eyes since that was the only thing left out in the open for her to see.

“You are quite smart,” the one holding the gun complimented. “But too bad, we are not here for the money. The person you offended has already paid us more money than you could give us right now,” he added.

Selene frowned deeply.

‘Then the person who sent them must be rich,’ she concluded.

“You see….” The other one who was holding two baseball bats paused. “You’d offended someone and now we’ve been paid to beat you up.”

“That’s what I guessed as well,” Selene responded. “Who sent you?” Her tone was demanding and lacked fear, even though a gun was pointed at her forehead.

However, deep down, only Selene knew how frightened she was at that moment. But she wouldn’t let the two robbers see it.

“We can’t tell you that, my lady.” The one holding the gun licked his lips as he stared at Selene, driving disgust out of her. “You sure we can’t have fun with her first before we beat her up?” He asked his partner.

“Don’t be stupid. We were only paid to beat her up. Besides, someone might walk in on us before we do anything. The cameras are everywhere,” the other replied. He tossed a bat at his other partner, who caught it swiftly.

“Too bad…”

Selene glanced between the both of them. This was the first time she would be fighting an actual person like Xavier had taught her. She could only hope that she wouldn’t make a mistake.

Before they could strike, Selene immediately kicked the gun out of his hand, sending it flying to a corner.

Surprised by her actions, they striked together but Selene moved out of the way. She grabbed the bat of the one holding the gun and tried to yank it off his wrist, but his grip on it was too tight.

“This is interesting. I never thought she could actually fight,” he commented, a grin on his lips. His smile immediately faltered into a pained expression when Selene kicked him hard between the legs. “What the fuck!” he cursed.

She quickly grabbed the bat he dropped as his hands gathered around his balls before he fell.

Selene picked it up, but then she felt an excruciating pain in her back. Her attention had been on the one holding the gun, and she had completely forgotten to keep an eye on the other one.

“You little piece of shit,” he cursed as he intended to hit her again.

“Selene!” Selene heard someone call her name. She found Kael glaring at the two men who’d just attacked her.

When the one who hid her saw Kael, he quickly dropped his bat and intended to pick up his friend to get away. But Kael attacked him by sending a punch his way, which had him collapse beside his friend.

Kael immediately called for backup before he rushed toward Selene.

“Are you okay?” He asked her as he helped her up.

She nodded despite the excruciating pain she felt. She was thankful it was just her back the robber had hit, and the bat didn’t come in contact with her head, else, she would have been dead already.

But her bone felt broken.

“I’m fine,” she responded.

The police were called and the robbers were immediately handed over to them.

It wasn’t too late, so Kael assisted Selene in heading to the medical bay. She wouldn’t want to wake up the next morning with a spine fracture. The doctor gave her some medication and did an x-ray of it. Nothing was the problem.

When the checkup was done, Selene pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

The robbers might not have mentioned a name, but she had an idea of who could have possibly sent them.

Meanwhile, Michelle who’d been checking her phone to see if she would get any notifications from the men she sent to Selene frowned deeply when she saw a call coming from Selene herself.

Fear wrapped around her heart.
