As Harold watched the steel pipe aimed directly at him, a wave of terror washed over him, so intense that he nearly lost control of himself.
In a panic, he seized Loreen’s hand and thrust her forward towards the men, then sprinted to his car. He flung the door open, jumped inside, and sped away without a backward nce.
Loreen cried out in rm as she stumbled towards the men, her anger boiling over when she saw Harold fleeing like a coward.
“Damn it! Harold Wilson is such a wimp!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
After creating chaos, he had the audacity to use a woman as a shield in such a dire situation and escape on his own!
He was the most despicable scoundrel she had ever encountered!
The young man nearby cursed as he witnessed Harold’s retreat. “Damn that guy! He left her here and just ran! What a loser!”
Turning to Loreen, he sneered, “Hey, beauty, you better call that bastard back, or you’ll be next!”
Loreen, panicking, replied, “He and I are just acquaintances! Please don’t drag me into this!”
The young man gestured to his bandaged head, growling, “Look, I’ve got sixteen stitches! I won’t rest until I get my revenge! If he doesn’t return for you, I’ll take you home and we’ll spend the night together as some sort of twistedpensation!”
Loreen gasped in horror. “What? You can’t do that! It’s illegal!”
“Illegal?” he barked. “Do you really think you can lecture me about thew? I am thew! Once I’m done with you, you’ll learn what real justice looks like!”
A chill ran through Loreen as despair gripped her heart. “I’ll… I’ll call him right now!”
With trembling hands, she pulled out her phone and dialed Harold’s number.
Meanwhile, Harold was behind the wheel, desperately trying to put as much distance as possible between himself and the men. His heart raced when he saw Loreen’s name sh on his phone.
“Damn it!”
All he had been able to think about was escaping, abandoning Loreen in the process. She must have been furious with him now!
What terrible luck!
Initially, he had hoped to connect with her, leveraging her ties to the Thomas family to elevate his own status. But now, he had managed to offend her deeply!
How could he even answer her call? He knew she was calling to ask him toe back; that was obvious to anyone.
But would he survive if he returned? Those men looked menacing, brandishing their steel pipes. Even if they didn’t kill him, a beating from them could leave him permanently injured.
In the grand scheme, staying alive took precedence over any rtionship!
Thus, he chose to ignore her calls and kept driving.
Loreen felt a wave of desperation and disappointment when her calls went unanswered. She pleaded with the young man, “I can give you money! Please let me go; this has nothing to do with me!”
The young man smirked maliciously. “I don’t want your money! I want you!”
Fear coursed through Loreen, and she realized that if she didn’t act quickly, this man would never let her go.
Summoning her courage, she grit her teeth and kicked the young man between the legs when he wasn’t looking.
He hadn’t anticipated her resistance. He howled in pain and loosened his grip on her, instinctively swinging a knife toward her!
Loreen tried to flee, but a sharp pain shot through her thigh. She screamed and copsed onto the ground.
A dagger had pierced her leg, blood oozing from the gruesome wound.
“You think you can escape from me?!” the young man bellowed.
Grabbing her by the hair, he sneered, “Congrattions, you’ve just set me off. My buddies and I will make sure to take good care of you tonight!”<fn5b6e> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? F?ndNovel</fn5b6e>
Loreen’s cheeks were soaked with tears of despair.
She could see her own demise looming ahead. She knew this man wouldn’t let her go, and the fear that her life could end in this moment consumed her.
At a time like this, there seemed to be no one to rescue her from this nightmare…
What she didn’t notice was a ck BMW drawing closer, where Charlie, the driver, frowned at the scene unfolding before him!
