Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

As soon as Flora finished speaking, a chorus of snickers echoed from the end of the long alley.

"Ha ha ha! Such a young thing, but with a mouth on her. Let's see who's really looking for trouble!"

Several tall men stepped out of the shadows, the cold moonlight revealing dark green snake tattoos on their bare arms, sending shivers down the spine.

Cynthia and Eilies both took a step back, their palms sweaty with fear.

These guys were clearly bad news, and the girls had no chance against them!

"Flora," Cynthia whispered, tugging at Flora's sleeve, her voice trembling, "we should run back!"

They were blocked ahead, but they could still turn back! If they could just reach a crowded place, they'd be safe!

But as soon as Cynthia finished, a few more men appeared at the other end of the alley, cutting off their escape.

They had heard Eilies's words and laughed mockingly, "Weren't you acting all tough just now? Scared now?"
