Chapter 24

A loud crash rang out as Charlotte swung the heavy glass ashtray, striking the man squarely on the head. He staggered back, clutching the wound, cursing through gritted teeth. “You crazy bitch! You dare hit me?!”

Without waiting for the others in the private lounge to react, Charlotte darted for the door.

She didn’t even glance at her phone, which had tumbled to the carpet in

the chaos.

Racing down the corridor, she could hear the thunder of footsteps behind her–her pursuers weren’t giving up, and she knew she couldn’t let them catch her. She forced herself onward, never daring to slow.

Suddenly, her breath caught; a wave of dizziness crashed over her, making her vision blur and her knees buckle.

Her body wouldn’t obey–she collapsed to the floor, but somehow managed to cry out, “Help–somebody, please!”
