And without hesitation, Hope rushed toward Samantha, before Lucien could stop her.
However, the thing that Hope was not aware was the fact that there were another two men, which one of them rushed toward her when her focus was on the man, who held Samantha captive.
Everything happened so fast and Hope didn't realize it until it happened when the man kicked her belly so hard from the side, which was not expected by Hope, since her eyes fixed on Samantha.
"Argh!!!" Hope screamed when she was kicked on the stomach, she bent her body and if it was not for Lucien, who immediately caught her fall, she would have hit her head against the floor.
"Hope!" Lucien was flabbergasted to see his mate writhed in pain.
"My stomach…" Hope whimpered, she curled her body against Lucien, as she put both of her arms on top of her belly, which was gravely in pain.
