I held my breath. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Immediately, shots were fired.

The wound on my back hadn't healed—I was no match for her. As we went downstairs, she showed no mercy and shoved me hard down the steps. As my body tumbled, I felt the wound on my back split open again. Warm blood seeped out. "I've already decided to leave. I'll go today. I don't want Jonathan anymore. I'll never appear in front of you again—" Before I could finish, she yanked my hair again. "No, Chloe. How can you leave? If you leave now, how will I make Jonathan completely give up on you?
