NTR GACHA-Chapter 166: Have You Forgotten

Leo instinctively stepped in front of Roxy, his entire posture shifting. ’’Walk away. This won’t go the way you’re thinking,’’ he warned, his voice low and dangerous.

The leader scoffed. ’’Nah, see... you embarrassed our boy back then and have continued to do so. It’s time for payback.’’

Without another word, they lunged. Leo exploded into action. His fist slammed into the closest guy’s jaw, sending him sprawling, but another grabbed his arm while a third aimed a punch at his ribs.

He twisted free, dodging the hit, and drove his knee into one of their stomachs, causing the older boy to scream out in pain. The fight was brutal, fists flying, bodies colliding. But there were too many.

Roxy screamed as he took a punch to the face, then another to his gut. Blood dripped from his lip, his breathing ragged, but Leo refused to fall. Every time they knocked him down, he got back up, shielding her with his body.

’’Stay behind me,’’ he gasped, pushing her back as he swung at another attacker.

Two of them held his arms in place as another punched him hard in the stomach. He coughed, blood dripping from his lips. A brutal hit to his face sent him sprawling again, and this time, he didn’t get up right away.

They continued to beat him until he stopped moving or fighting back, which satisfied the group of boys. ’’LEO!’’ Roxy screamed, dropping to her knees beside him while shaking his body.

Leo’s face was swollen, his lip split, and bruises already forming across his body. His fingers twitched, struggling to push himself up, but his strength was failing. Still, through his pain, he forced a weak, bloody smile.

’’You’re... safe,’’ he mumbled, barely able to get the words out.

Tears streamed down Roxy’s face as she cupped his bruised cheeks. ’’You idiot... You should’ve run...’’

Leo just chuckled weakly. ’’Never... leave you...’’

Her heart shattered into pieces. This wasn’t fair. He was always protecting her, always putting himself in harm’s way for her sake. And now, he was broken, bleeding because of her.

Roxy’s hands trembled as she tried to clean the blood off his face while asking. ’’Why? Why did you do this?’’

He gave her a weak, bloody smile. ’’Told you... I’d always protect you...’’

Something inside her broke. She couldn’t hold it in any longer. ’’I love you, Leo!’’ she blurted out, her voice shaking. ’’I’ve loved you for so long... and seeing you hurt because of me, I can’t take it!’’

His dazed eyes widened, and for a moment, silence hung between them. Then, despite the pain, he chuckled softly. ’’Took you long enough...’’ he whispered before pulling her into his arms, holding her as tight as his battered body would allow.

Following that, Roxy helped him back to her house, which was a mile away where Leo met her Mother Janice Garcia, who was a lovely woman. When she saw his condition, she panicked and rushed him inside.

After the older woman found out, he was the boy who had been protecting her daughter all these years. She suddenly hugged him tightly while speaking. ’’Thank you for helping her Leo, she’s lucky to have a friend like you.’’

Roxy watched as the boy she’d loved for years looked up at her mother and corrected her with a confident smile. ’’She’s my girlfriend, Miss Janice. I hope you approve of us dating.’’

When the young girl heard his words, her face went bright red, causing her mother to laugh before nodding. ’’Yes, you have my blessing. How can I say no to the boy who made my angel smile? She’s been so happy.’’

Afterward, Janice cleaned him up and made sure he was okay before standing up. ’’You’re staying for dinner, Leo. Do you know your parent’s number so I can let them know you’re here?’’

Roxy watched him shake his head while answering. ’’I don’t, and they won’t care. As long as I’m back before ten, then I’ll be fine.’’

’Why don’t they care? Bella and Tessa seem happier,’ she thought when hearing that.

Janice’s expression changed to one of concern before replying. ’’That’s not an issue. I’ll have Roxy’s dad take you home before your curfew.’’

’’Thank you, Miss Janice,’’ Leo replied just as Roxy joined him on the sofa with a smile.

’’Would you like a drink?’’ she asked.

He nodded before yelping because of the pain in his ribs, causing the older woman to narrow her eyes while standing up. ’’Get that shirt off! I can see you’re hurt more than you’re letting on, young man,’’ she exclaimed in a serious voice.

’’Mom!’’ Roxy screeched while her eyes went wide.

Janice glanced at her like she was an idiot before revealing. ’’Have you forgotten that I’m a doctor, daughter?’’

Leo watched the blonde’s face go beet red, which made him laugh, which increased the pain, causing him to flinch. Following that, he spent the rest of the day in the Garcia house with Roxy.

Shades of pink covered her entire room. Her cheeks flushed as she glanced at him, expecting a teasing remark. Instead, Leo simply smiled and said, ’’It’s a charming room, Rox. I can tell you put a lot of effort into decorating it.’’

One side of the room was lined with a bookshelf filled with all the novels she’d devoured in her spare time. In the center, a massive bed took up most of the space, soft blankets spilling over the edges.

Across from it, wardrobes stood neatly arranged, adding to the cozy feel of the room. Roxy’s favorite part, however, was the fluffy carpet beneath her feet—it was impossibly soft, making the room feel even more comforting.

Roxy felt Leo’s gaze on her, and her cheeks immediately flushed bright red. Just as she nervously glanced at him, he teased in a warm voice. ’’You look pretty when you smile, Rox. But the important question is, are we a couple now?’’

Her heart skipped a beat. She nodded, her smile widening as the words she’d dreamed of hearing finally came true. ’’Yes,’’ she whispered, almost in disbelief. ’’I can’t believe we’re finally together. I’ve liked you... ever since that day, you defended me in the hallway.’’

The memory of that moment still made her heart flutter, but now, it felt even more special knowing that Leo felt the same. Over time, their bond only deepened. They spent countless hours together, sharing laughs and quiet moments.

As they grew closer, they uncovered more about each other, discovering little things they each loved, like how Leo always had a soft spot for her homemade snacks, and how Roxy couldn’t resist his jokes, no matter how cheesy they were.

Roxy shook her head, snapping out of her daydream as a distant roar echoed through the air, pulling her back to reality. She had been lost in thoughts of Leo, but now she was back in the domain.

The surroundings brought a sense of excitement, knowing she could finally see him again. A smile tugged at her lips as she eagerly made her way to his room, eager to be near him once more.

With a smile tugging at her lips, she made her way to his bedroom, her heart skipping a beat as she saw him sleeping soundly, the peaceful expression on his face making him look even more endearing.

Roxy gently climbed onto the bed, carefully straddling his waist, hoping to surprise him with a playful morning greeting. However, as soon as she settled, Leo’s eyes flickered open, and she froze.

His eyes, normally a soft blue, were now a deep, unsettling red. She blinked in surprise, a soft gasp escaping her lips. ’’What happened to your eyes?’’ she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and concern.

Leo gave her a tired, warm smile, his arms wrapping around her in a loving embrace. He pulled her close, his voice soft as he explained. ’’Something changed when I was in the Devil’s world... I don’t fully understand it yet, but I feel... strange, but powerful. Like there’s a new strength inside me.’’

Roxy then leaned in and began kissing him, sliding under the sheets and getting closer as their bodies touched. Their kiss grew more intense as her hands moved down his body and slipped into his pants.

She felt him shiver, but soon enough his hand slipped into her panties while attacking her clit, causing her to bite down on his lip while opening her legs wider, which sent her lust soaring to new heights.

Moments later, Roxy felt a finger slip inside her, which made her back arch while cuddling into him as she moaned. ’’Mmmmghh~~ Leo, that feels so good,’’ she seductively whispered into his ear.

The ecstasy crashed over her like a temper, and just as her eyes fluttered back, she sensed his lips grazing her ear as he whispered. ’’I love you, Roxy Garcia.’’
