"I was wrong, Max. I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that. Please, don't hurt me anymore," Cindy pleaded, her body covered in wounds, wishing she could faint from the pain."Didn't you always want to know who entered Jen's room at the Waldorf Hotel that night? I'll tell you now," Max said, leaning close to Cindy."I... I don't want to know anymore," Cindy whimpered, terrified of Max. As he approached, she tried to move away, despite her injuries, desperate to increase the distance between them.Max ignored her attempts to escape, leaning in close to her ear, his lips curling in a mocking smile."Max, was it you who arranged for that man to be there that night?" I asked, feeling a surge of anger and betrayal. Max had previously denied knowing who the man was, leading me to believe Cindy was behind it."Just assume it was me," Max said, looking down at Cindy. "Did you hear that clearly?""That's not true. You're lying!" Cindy's disbelief turned to resentment.I was

"Enough!" Max growled, irritated by Mindy shaking his arm. His eyes burned with anger."You're yelling at me! I can't believe it," Mindy said in disbelief. She clung to Max's arm, refusing to let go. "I broke the law for you! You promised to marry me, have children with me, and give me a beautiful future. You can't go back on your word.""He only said those sweet things because he could use you. Look at me—I'm living proof!" I scoffed. Despite what had happened to me, Mindy still naively walked into the trap. Did she even have a brain?To provoke Mindy further, I added fuel to the fire. "Men lie to get what they want. He'll say anything to make you believe him. Only you two idiots believe his every word, thinking he can't live without you."Cindy, always quick to attack me, unexpectedly became my ally. She had often pointed out how Max had deceived me, leading to my family's downfall. Her words now served my purpose. "You two sound like you're performing a duet," Max said, catching

"Mindy, I'm taking you with me. Stop clinging to me," Max said irritably as Mindy stuck to him like glue, muttering incessantly."You need to behave. If you keep this up, I'll leave you behind," Max warned."You can't leave me! I've lost everything for you. I won't let you abandon me!" Mindy's already fragile mental state crumbled further at his words. She clung tightly to Max's arm, shaking him desperately."Let go of me, Mindy!" Max yelled, noticing that I had already pushed open the stairwell door. He shoved her aside."You yelled at me again. You can't treat me like this," Mindy sobbed, gripping Max's coat even tighter."Let go!" Max struggled as Mindy continued to cry and cling to him, making it hard for him to move. In her desperation, she tried to grab the knife from his hand.Max wasn't about to hand over the knife to a ticking time bomb like Mindy. He quickly lifted his arm to keep it out of her reach."Give me the knife! If you don't take me, I won't let you go either,

The police arrived just as Max was being thrown onto the landing. They quickly moved forward to confirm his identity.Right behind them came Wendy, who pushed past the officers and rushed towards me with a worried look on her face."Wendy, why are you here?" I asked."How could I not come when you're in trouble! You must have a death wish, going to confront Max alone!"She checked my arms and legs to make sure they were intact, then reached out to wipe the blood off my face. "Sweetie, your face is covered in blood. It's scary.""Don't touch her. Jen's face is injured," Luke said, pulling me back to avoid Wendy's hands.Upon hearing that I was hurt, Wendy's eyes reddened. "Jen's face is injured? Let me see how bad it is.""She seems to think she's immortal. This is nothing to her," Luke retorted.I had injuries on my face, hand, and shoulder. The extreme fear and tension I felt while facing Max alone momentarily made me forget the pain. But now that the danger had passed, the wo

After the scare I had, my mind was in a jumble, and I couldn't sleep at all."Huh!" Wendy, who was halfway closing the curtains, stopped.I turned to look at her and asked, "What's wrong?""Nothing, it's just that there are so many cars of the same brand," Wendy muttered, then closed the curtains completely. "Sweetie, why don't you move in with me after you're discharged from the hospital?""Wendy, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I'm afraid that if we spend too much time together, I might lose you as a friend.""Are you afraid I'll discover your flaws, or are you implying that I have flaws?""Of course, I'm afraid you'll find out about my flaws. Our Miss Perfect Wendy doesn't have a single flaw!""Jen, I'm serious about this," Wendy said, uncharacteristically serious.I adjusted my expression to match her seriousness. "I know you're worried that I'll be scared living alone, but life is long. I can't always rely on you. I need to learn to cope on my own.""Jen, take things
