Chapter 78

Gwendolyn stood frozen until a forceful shove jolted her from behind.

“Gwendolyn, I’ve finally got my chance.” The sinister voice slithered from beside her as Scott brandished a knife, its blade glinting ominously against her throat.

“What do you want?” Gwendolyn asked, her forehead beaded with cold sweat as she feigned composure.

“Bitch! So, you’ve already married that cripple! My family’s been ruined, bankrupt, and ! want him to taste what it’s like to have the woman I’ve played with!” Scott’s grip tightened on Gwendolyn, and he dragged her toward the dense shrubbery.

“Once I’ve fucked you, let’s see if he still wants you!”

“I’ll call the cops!” Gwendolyn’s voice was ice.
