Mr. Hephephobias

CHAPTER 98 - The Psychopath

Rayn seems to have come to pick up Lucia. Rayn who was still on the opposite side stopped her car, she stared at Friends Cafe from across the street. Rayn stopped there just taking the time to look at Lucia.

Rayn's gaze focused on Lucia who was seen talking to customers from a distance. He didn't see anything strange about it. Rayn turned on her vehicle again to continue driving because she had to rotate in the round at the end there to get to Friends Cafe.

Rayn closes the windshield, but at first glance she begins to see something wrong with the movement of Lucia's body that looks like it is being threatened. Rayn furrowed her brows and sharpened her eyes staring hard at what was happening. It was obvious that Lucia was dropping one of the chairs towards the man.

"Lussia...!" rayn said quickly he opened his car door and ran to cross the road.

The mysterious man behaves like a psychopath, proudly saying that he is a secret admirer who has always been loyal to Lucia. He even claimed that he was the only man who could have Lucia.

"Go or I'll report you to the police" Lucia said.

Not heeding Lucia's threat, the man laughed at Lucia who looked terrified at her. "Why are you acting like that to your future husband?" he asked but now he quickly changed his facial expression into compassion.

"Basic psychopath" Sardonic Lucia.

The words seemed to really offend the man making him angry. "You said you would protect me and now I'm the one who will protect you Lucia" he said. "Didn't you remember me?" tanyanya opened her mask.

Lucia tried to remember the face, although it looked familiar, but she could not recognize or remember having met him at all.

"Morgan...! I'm Morgan...!!! Have you forgotten him?" asked the man with a shout while breaking down the table. Instantly made Lucia even more frightened.

Morgan turned out to be a friend of Lucia when they sat on the Junior High School bench. At that time Morgan became one of the victims of bullying in his class by friends. Lucia who accidentally saw the bullying then helped Morgan from the bullies.

"If they bother you again you can come to my class and look for me."

Yeah, those words Morgan always remembered. Since that incident Morgan has always paid attention to Lucia and began to fall in love with Lucia until she had an excessive obsession. Lucia did not know the man at all, but she remembered if she had helped a boy at school first.

Morgan even learns that if Lucia lives in Villa Rayn, she is the owner of a mysterious car that Mickey once suspected. Not only did Morgan come to the flower shop where Lucia used to work, he bought and sent her to the Cafe for Lucia.

Morgan always follows all social media accounts and all Lucia activities. He is a hooded man who buys popcorn for Lusia also sends a gift of shoes that Lusia mysteriously wants.

"It looks like you misunderstood something" said Lucia trying to straighten out.

But it seems that this time Lucia's explanation is too late because now Morgan really has been obsessed with him to act like a stalker. Morgan approaches Lucia, he presses Lucia's chin threatening her. Lucia did not dare to move, with her trembling body she avoided the horrifying man's sharp eye contact.

"Misunderstand what you say? Everything changed after the guy came, you helped him too but how did he become your girlfriend?" morgan said cynically.

Looking at Lucia's eyes that began to glaze over, Morgan's countenance instantly changed. Morgan rubbed Lusia's hair and stroked her repeatedly. "Aren't we seeing each other first and I liked you first. You should have let the boy be bullied by school thugs at that time" Morgan said of Rayn.

Lucia does not understand what Morgan said because she does not remember if she also helped Rayn. Even he still does not know if he got the nickname Girl Bekuncir Horse from Rayn. However, it turned out that the incident also seemed to be witnessed by Morgan.

Rayn immediately ran away from her car, she could not open the door of the Cafe that had been locked from the inside by Morgan. Rayn tried to bang on the glass door and yelled for the man to open the door.

"Lussia...!" Rayn shouted trying to open the door.

"Rayn" call Lucia to see Rayn's presence.

Morgan turned around, he flashed a sly smile on his face in response to Rayn's presence. Rayn broke the glass door with her elbow. He succeeded and immediately put his hand inside to unlock the door.

As if not afraid of the arrival of Rayn, Morgan actually challenged and walked closer to Rayn. "Did you dare touch me?" ask Morgan with a sly smile.

Not only about Lucia, it seems that Morgan also has pocketed information about Rayn. He even knew that Rayn had Hephephobia. Morgan took a step closer to Rayn, Rayn stood up and defended against her phobia.

"Ray... !" call Lucia with a worried face after finding out that Morgan is very dangerous.

"Lusia, go to get help !" rayn's orders.

Lucia rushes to the cashier, trying to reach Dave but Dave is on another call. Lucia was about to contact the police, but Morgan immediately turned to Lucia to thwart the call.

After hitting Morgan, Rayn's body became limp instantly. Rayn pushed herself too hard to touch Morgan's body. Although he succeeded, but in the end Rayn still could not fully control his phobia.

"Ohhh.... ." Rayn squeezed his chest.

Rayn cannot control irrational anxiety and panic. Rayn began to feel her breathing becoming fast, her heartbeat racing. Rayn was trying to regulate her breathing, she looked like she was out of breath. Cold sweat began to pour all over his body, he was almost unable to support his body.

"Hahaha, look how loser this fucking guy is Lucia!"

Shouted Morgan with a laugh seeing Rayn who was starting to be helpless. Morgan immediately stood back up to Rayn to avenge the blow he had just received. Rayn grabs the chair and throws it at Morgan. Morgan fell back because the chair hit his leg.

Morgan became more and more angry, he took out a folding knife from his pants pocket. "You think you can fight me, Hah!!! A weak man like you doesn't deserve him. Wouldn't you rather just disappear from the face of this earth? I'll help you put an end to that phobic affliction."

With the face of a demon, Morgan stood up and prepared to attack Rayn after making the threat. Morgan began to speed up his footsteps walking towards Rayn who was still weakly seated. He swung his hand which was holding a knife to injure Rayn.

"Ray.. !!!" shrieked Lucia ran over to Rayn intending to protect her.

Seeing Lucia who was running towards him along with the psychopath who was also towards him with a knife, Rayn forced herself to try her hardest to get up and immediately grabbed onto the body of Lucia who was about to embrace him.

Simultaneously, Rayn quickly received Lucia's embrace and twisted her body to protect Lucia. Rayn is now in a position to turn her back to Morgan while hugging Lucia.

"R...Ra's...Rayn.." call Lucia still in Rayn's arms.

Lucia raised her head to look at Rayn's face which was now protecting her.

"Rayn, are you okay?" lusia asked in a trembling voice looking at Rayn who was hugging her.

On the other hand, Dave is currently on his way back and is already very close to the Cafe. Lucia could not reach him because she was on a phone call with Kelvin who was also on his way to the cafe.

"So right now you're leaving Lusia alone at the cafe? Why don't you wait for me to come and take out the trash. How could you leave him alone?" kelvin asked in a phone call with Dave.

"I'm sorry sir, but don't worry, I've arrived" said Dave who is now in front of the cafe. "What's this?" he saw the broken door while inside stood a man with a knife pointed at Rayn and Lucia.

Morgan was still standing with his hand tightly holding his folding knife, still not satisfied he again swung his knife to actually kill Rayn. But luckily, the intention was thwarted by Dave who had just returned and immediately kicked the man's body down.

"Yes, shit!" dave shouted giving his death kick.

"Dave, what's wrong?" kelvin asked in panic.

With the taekwondo ability he has, Dave is quickly able to paralyze Morgan to the point of being completely helpless.

Rayn couldn't cover up her guilt for being late. "Are you okay? Forgive me for being late" Rayn said, staring at Lucia

Without answering Rayn's question, Lucia dropped her tears with a sad look she grabbed Ryan's cheek. Rayn smilingly looked at Lucia's face and hugged her again by drowning her head in Lucia's neckline. "Thank God you're okay" Rayn said, trying to regulate her breathing.

Dave locked Morgan's body and stared at the knife he had pulled out of Morgan's hand.

"Blood?" said Dave softly staring at the blood on the knife.

Dave turned his head towards Rayn and Lucia. "You guys okay? Are you guys hurt?" ask Dave to scream.
