Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 352

"She won't leave," Colin said, pulling me away, his grip firm on my hand as we retreated. He explained in a hushed tone that Zoe was adamant about staying in what used to be her and Carter's place, that she'd rather go mad than leave.

"But she can't just keep doing this... this line of work," I protested, feeling it was too harsh.

"Everyone makes their own choices and has their own way to survive. Zoe's made hers," Colin hurried, eager to get me away from the scene.

Then, a scream for help shattered the silence.

The noise came from the room next to Zoe's, followed by a girl's cries and desperate pleas for help.

I paused, looking at Colin. "Should we check it out? Could be dangerous."

Colin kicked at the door, calling out, "What's going on in there?"

Inside, it sounded like a woman was trying to open the door, her efforts met with a man's cursing, "Bitch, why are you running? Hand over the money."

Frowning, Colin was about to lead me away when Zoe burst out, frantically banging on the door, "Don't hit her, please don't."
