Not His Type Of Mate
Chapter 29

Nora's POV

With dumbfounded eyes, I stared at Lord Maddison, who didn't look my way. I watched him march forward to the dude, forcefully take the gag off his mouth, and punch him in the face. "Holy goddess," Lolita whispered while I stared with shocked-filled eyes. When he told me the person behind the post had been caught, I thought he had probably been handed over to the authorities. I never knew he would be locked up in a basement.

"Take off the blindfold." He told one of the men who stood behind the tied dude.

I watched them remove the blindfold and saw the terrified look on his face when he realized it was Lord Maddison standing before him. "Lord..." he tried speaking, but his words got stuck in his mouth as Lord Maddison threw a blow at him, causing his nose to bleed. "You think you are smart?" Lord Maddison asked through gritted teeth, but the dude shook his head, terrified and scared for his life. "I didn't show your face; it was only her..." he tried speaking but stopped when he noticed me at the door, "Shit!" He blurted out in shock, and shook his head, "Please forgive me; I didn't reveal your face." He pleaded, breaking down in tears. "You see that's the problem; you saw me, took a picture of me, but didn't reveal my face; rather, you revealed the face of an innocent lady just because you are a bully." Lord Maddison spoke in a low tone, but the anger in his voice could be felt. "We wouldn't be having this conversation if you had minded your business or, better still, revealed just my face and left her out of it." He yelled and threw another punch in his face. With terrified eyes, I watched the face of the dude covered in blood, and the sight of it broke my heart. "Please stop it!" I pleaded with Lord Maddison, who held my gaze for a moment and gestured for me to come. With a gulp, I approached them and stood a few steps away from him. "He laid his hand on you, right?" Lord Maddison asked and I couldn't respond. "Do the same to him." He ordered, but I couldn't do it, "It's okay, this is okay." I tried pleading, but the angry groan of Lord Maddison stopped me. "Either you do it, or I'll do it, and you know what that means." He threatened while avoiding my gaze.

"Just do it." Lolita urged me, and with all the courage I could gather, I lifted my hand and slapped him. He whined in pain while I stared at my hand, which was stained with his blood.

"Get me a knife." He told one of the men, while my eyes widened with shock, "Knife, what for." I asked, terrified of what he wanted to do.

He didn't respond to me, but instead, he took the knife from the man and ran his finger at the edge of it. "You like bullying others because of their looks and appearance, right?" He asked, but the dude shook his head, terrified to speak, "Why don't I make you a subject of bullying, so you'll get to see how it feels." He threatened while running the edge of the knife on the cheek of the dude.

"Please stop it." I pleaded, but it fell on deaf ears; Instead, I saw two men walk up to me and block my path from seeing what he was about to do. "Don't do it; I have forgiven him," I yelled in panic, but it fell on deaf ears, and all I could hear were the loud screams of pain from the dude. With tear-filled eyes, I wondered what he was doing to him. This was not how I wanted it to be. Two wrongs cannot make a right.

The two men blocking my path moved away, allowing me to see what Lord Maddison was doing. I watched him place his hand on the pierced face of the dude, close his eyes, and healed the dude. Confused, I watched what he was doing, only to realize he had healed the cut on the dude's face, but the marks were invisible. "You will live with these marks for the rest of your life." He announced, while the dude cried bitterly, shivering with pain and fear, "Let's see how you would feel when you wake up every day seeing this mark on your face. People will call you the dude with cuts on his face, and I believe then you'll know how it feels to be looked down on." With those words, he dropped the knife on the floor and walked up to me.

Out of anger, I couldn't hold his gaze, but I followed him out of the basement. We got into his car. I put on my seatbelt and stared out the window. The drive was silent until he stopped at my home without getting my address.

"Thank you," I said, and tried going for the doorknob of the car, but he stopped me by gripping my wrist. I moved my gaze in his direction and held his gaze, "He deserves what he got." He tried defending his actions, but I shook my head and said, "That was not what I wanted." I responded, "Did you bother to ask me if I wanted a payback or all of this?" I asked and saw the guilt on his face: "I'm sorry to say this, but what you did in there was wrong. The cuts on his face were absolutely wrong." I said and went for the doorknob, and this time he didn't stop me. I left the car, and without looking back, I entered the house. I met my father and mother in the sitting room, and without saying a word to them, I took the stairs up to my room. I got to my room, sat on my bed, and pondered in thought, regretting my actions. I knew he had gone too far, but my actions were ungrateful, he did what he thought was right, and I shouldn't have spoken to him that way. With a frustrated sigh, I took off my clothes, took a cold bath, and changed into my pajamas. I lay on the bed, and just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard a voice in my head. "Come downstairs. I'm waiting for you." The voice sounded deep and husky. This was the first time I heard his voice through mind link. "I believed you heard me." He spoke again after not getting a response from me. "I'm... on my way." I stammered and left the bed. I checked the wall clock and realized it was past 10 pm and wondered what he was doing at my house at such an hour of the night. I put a jacket around my shoulders and left the room. I arrived at the sitting room and met no one there. "What is he up to?" Lolita questioned, but I shrugged my shoulders and left the house.

When I got outside, I met Lord Maddison with the dude he tortured, but this time something was different. There were no marks on his face, nor was there any trace of blood. "What..." Before I could speak, the dude fell on his knees before me. "I'm sorry for what I did. Please forgive me." He pleaded. With stunned eyes, I stared at Lord Maddison, who had an expressionless look on his face, "I apologize for the pain I caused you, and I promise I will never do such to you or anyone else." He begged sincerely while I held the gaze of Lord Maddison, whose arms were folded on his chest.

With a gulp, I held the dude's gaze and nodded, "I have forgiven you." I spoke honestly and got a relieved smile from him, "Thank you so much." He said, standing to his feet, "You can leave." I told him and saw him run away while lowering his head to Lord Maddison. I locked eyes with Lord Maddison and didn't know where to start talking. "I believe this is what you wanted." He said, and tried getting into his car, but I grabbed his wrist. When I realized what I had done, I quickly withdrew. "I'm sorry." I apologized. "You are sorry?" For what?" He asked with raised eyebrows.

By the tone of his voice, I could tell he was mad at me, and I hated myself for what I did. "You are angry at me..." I tried speaking, but he said, "I'm not angry. If I'm angry, even the hair on your body would feel it." He said and caressed my cheek with the tips of his fingers, sending cold shivers down my spine. He took his hand off my cheek, got into his car, and drove off while I touched my cheek with a smile. "Wipe away such thoughts from your head." Lolita cursed under her breath.
