Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 88: Attack 1

The night was eerily quiet, save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock and the distant rustle of leaves outside due

to the night breeze.

The moon in its fullness adorned the night sky. Davis after several hours of battling with his thought had finally

drifted into a restless sleep.

Jessica stirred from sleep and slowly opened her eyes after a gruesnightmare that continually sent shivers

down her spine.

They had been attacked by sunknown men, Davis had been brutally stabbed in several places, bleeding

profusely and as much as she tried to control the blood flow, his life continuously slipped past her fingers leaving

her flustered.

Despite waking up from the dream, Jessica still felt the intensity of the dream so real and raw that her body

trembled continuously, her breathe coming in gasps while her senses tinglined with unease.

She quickly checked on Davis, "he is fine". She muttered under her breath but then her breathe ceased, her

nerves tensed and her eyes widened as saucers at the sight before her.

A faint shadow flickered against the window, barely noticeable under the moonlight. The movement subtle, calm

and quietly controlled—someone skilled, someone who knew how to blend into the darkness.

"It can’t be true that her dreams is about to cthrough", she mused. Her instincts since the evening

screamed of danger.

Jessica's gaze sharpened, her hands curled into a fist, her lips curving into a smirk. "Finally, they have made

their move", she muttered under breathe.

"Davis, Davis", she called in a whisper close to his ears. She can’t let him sleep when she isn’t quite certain of

the motive of the intruder.

Davis stirred and instinctively wrapped his arm around her patting her to sleep. "Wake up, danger", she

whispered.

Davis eyes flew open, his gaze darting round the room and finally rested on the window where a shadow is

skillfully prying the window sill without any noise.

"You can’t go," Davis said and held her back. It is dangerous. | have an alarm system in the room.

"No, don’t trigger the alarm system. We need to silently find out who is involved. Don’t worry, | will take care of

it", she assured.

Davis knew there’s no tto waste arguing who can and who cannot. He silently pushed himself up the bed

and slide down. Slowly, he crawled to the position of his wheelchair and settled in.

While Jessica without a sound, slipped out of bed, her bare feet pressing soundlessly against the cold floor. She

didn’t turn on the lights—there was no need to alert the intruder that they had noticed them.

Instead, she tiptoed toward the backroom door, positioning herself at an angle where she could observe without

being seen.

Her heart beating steadily, her breathing slow and controlled. She had been waiting for this moment.

The window latch gave the faintest click and a gloved hand pushed the window open inch by inch, carefully and

methodical.

One of them hanged outside the window and didn’t cin —Jessica has a sinking feeling that he is observing

the situation outside to ensure nobody was alerted or else it might be a blood bath.

Then, a figure slipped inside with practiced ease, their movements swift yet eerily quiet. There is no doubt he is

skilled.

He was dressed entirely in black, his face obscured by a mask. His posture was predatory, and attention fixed on

the bed where Davis and Jessica are supposed to lay.

With practiced precision, he flicked a set of phantom blades towards the bed right at the position of Jessica and

Davis body.

Jessica's eyes darkened. So, they weren't just here for her. They were after Davis too.

She didn’t hesitate, from the shadows she struck the back of his head and as he made to turn around, she closed

in on him stabbing him with the dagger she had taken earlier.

The man felt his hand briefly paralyzed from pain, he quickly spurned around flinging his fist to the attacker but

Jessica in a lightening speed twisted it sharply.

A muffled grunt of pain escaped them, but they reacted fast, countering with a swift jab toward her ribs.

She dodged effortlessly, quickly pivoted to lock his arm behind their back with an iron grip. The intruder

struggled, attempting to break free, but Jessica was faster. Using her momentum, she swept his legs from

beneath him, sending him crashing to the floor with a heavy thud.

The dim light from the window barely illuminated the struggle, but Jessica could feel the raw strength and skill in

the intruder’s movements.

Blood gushed forth in torrents and with a fluid motion he pulled it out and exited through the window. .

"Who sent you?" Jessica asked not expecting an answer from him. During the course of their combat she had

tested their strength, he isn’t simple.

The assassin remained silent, attempting to maneuver out of her grip. Jessica anticipated his next move.

Just as he shifted, she twisted his wrist harder, forcing him to drop the knife he had been trying to pull from his

belt.

The weapon clattered against the floor. Jessica swiftly picked it up as a weapon.

The assassin suddenly bucked, using an extra force he managed to throw her off balance.

Jessica rolled with the motion, springing back onto her feet just as he lunged at her again with another blade.
