Chapter 1016

The knife sank deep into Marion's right abdomen, blood seeping through his clothes.

"Freeze!" A group of police officers stormed in from behind, quickly surrounding Juan in a tight circle.

Juan raised his hands in surrender, but his gaze locked onto Debra, who was nervously tending to Marion.

Debra glared at him. "Juan, are you out of your mind?"

She had imagined a thousand ways he might come after her, but she never thought he'd resort to such a crude and desperate attempt to kill her.

"Take him away!" The police hauled Juan off to a waiting squad car.

Paramedics rushed up quickly. Marion glanced at Debra, who was worried sick. He reached up to ruffle her hair and managed a weak smile. "I'm fine. It's just a scratch." "The knife was in your gut. Why did you follow me, you idiot?"
