Just as Cynthia was about to scream, the man pulled out a knife and traced the edge of it lightly with his fingers.

"Slitting your throat open only takes a second. Scream if you don't believe me."

Cynthia swallowed her scream, her eyes wide as she began to panic.

"Who are you?! I'm telling you, I'm no ordinary person! If you dare to lay a finger on me, I guarantee you'll pay a heavy price! Theo won't let you go!"
