sh, sh… Nicole heard the sound of the knife slicing through flesh.


    With each insult Howe hurled, Nicole jabbed the knife into Howe’s legs.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    “Ah! Ah!” Howe’s screams filled the air.


    Distracted, Nicole didn’t notice Howe sneakily reaching for a remote and pressing a button.


    Beep! An rm red.


    Gritting his teeth in pain, Howe sneered, “You bitch! Just wait till my bodyguards get here.


    You’re done for!”


    He’d hit the rm to summon his bodyguards.


    This vi, originally a gift from Jarrod to Jamie, had been cleverly transferred to Howe by Jamie.


    Though Howe seldom visited this vi, he always had two bodyguards with him, anticipating trouble due to his unsavory activities.


    Nicole’s heart pounded as she remembered considering running away, only to spot two muscr men at the door.


    That was why she’d run upstairs instead.


    Not wanting to waste time, Nicole quickly barricaded the door with the only chair in the room.


    Soon, a persistent knocking resounded from the other side.


    Howe’s legs were both stabbed, causing him to bleed profusely.


    Unable to stand, he yelled toward the door, “Enough with the banging! Just break it open!”


    Nicole quickly gagged Howe with a cloth.


    Lying on the floor, Howe’s whimpers filled the air as his wounds continued to bleed.


    His condition was pitiful.


    Nicole grabbed Howe’s phone to call for help.


    She was relieved that she could make an emergency call without unlocking his phone.


    Her hands shaking, she gave their location to the police.


    Their vi, situated by the riverbank and away from the city, felt isted.


    The dispatcher tried to reassure Nicole, promising that the police would arrive in thirty minutes.


    Beep… Howe’s phone vibrated again.


    Jarrod’s name shed on the screen.


    Startled, Nicole dropped the phone.


    She muttered to herself, “Evil! They’re all evil!”


    Bang! The pounding on the door intensified.
