No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

As Jack gently tapped on the massive alligator's head, the beast charged towards Ernest and his friends with a ferocity that sent shivers down everyone's spine.

The pond was already teeming with several large gators, and now, with the addition of this alpha predator, even Ernest, Yolande, and Conrad together seemed outmatched. I was petrified, finding myself unable to breathe, let alone watch the unfolding horror.

"Ah!"

Yolande's scream pierced the air, and through the corner of my eye, I saw her stabbing at something fiercely. The next moment, Ernest was pulling Conrad to the safety of the bank. Then, with incredible agility, he grabbed Yolande, stepping on the heads of the gators as if they were stepping stones, and leaped to safety.

They had miraculously escaped the jaws of death...

Just as I was about to sigh in relief, the sound of Brown clapping broke the silence. His face was calm, even impressed, as he remarked, "Well, Mr. Collins, you're truly extraordinary." Before his words could fully sink in, Yolande was up and at him, her knife pressed against his throat.

She shouted towards a platform not too far away, "If you don't want your boss here to bleed out, let her go!"

They had escaped, and now they were here to rescue me.

Yolande's determination really surprised me; her first instinct was to rescue me.

But her threat seemed futile; the people on the platform didn't release me.

Brown seemed unbothered by the knife at his throat, even tauntingly saying, "It's no use. They only listen to me. If I die now, that girl will just end up hanging there, turning into human jerky." "Let her go," Yolande demanded, pressing the knife even tighter, enough to draw blood.

this, Brown's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Ernest, "The game of tests is over. Now, it's time to
