From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

Just as the ashtray was raised high and about to come crashing down on Emily’s head, the door was suddenly kicked open.

With a thunderous bang, everyone in the room jumped in shock, completely forgetting what they were doing.

The commanding man from earlier, Calvin, appeared at the doorway. Behind him, a group of bodyguards rushed in and, in no time, pinned all the men, including Sean, to the ground.

Bathed in the bright light from outside, Calvin stood in the doorway, backlit and imposing, like a deity descending from above. He then strode steadily toward Emily.

The close call with the ashtray snapped Emily out of her daze, making her a bit more clear-headed. She stared at Calvin, still in shock, her heart thumping wildly in her chest like a drum.

Calvin walked up to Emily, reached out, and gently helped her to her feet, his eyes showing a flicker of concern. He asked, “Are you okay? Is your mind clear?”

His deep, magnetic voice was like a heavy hammer pounding the drum in Emily’s heart, making her whole body tremble involuntarily.

She stared at Calvin blankly, studying every detail of his face-from his brows, to his nose, to his lips-as if trying to find something she couldn’t quite name. She thought, ‘What am I searching for? Why does he feel so familiar to me?’

Emily felt lost, afraid, and helpless, her emotions a tangled mess. It was as if all those feelings were about to drown out the fragile clarity she’d just managed to grasp.

In the next moment, Calvin reached out and placed his hand on her forehead, his brows knitting together. He asked, “Are you scared silly?”

When Emily still didn’t react, he let out a soft sigh and reached out to her. He said softly, “Don’t be scared. I’m right here. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”

His voice sounded slightly helpless, and the icy, unapproachable aura he usually had seemed to vanish instantly, replaced by unexpected gentleness.

The usually cold, unattainable Calvin suddenly turned gentle-his charm in that moment was almost deadly. But when he tried to hug her, Emily instinctively stepped back.
