Rewriting My Heart's Fate

I took a deep breath. Then, I straightened up and looked coldly at Sasha. "Ms. Langley, thank you for your kind reminder. But whatever happens between Mr. Grayson and I are none of your concern." I brushed past her shoulder. "Oh, and next time, you might want to check your lipstick. It's smudged all over your teeth."

I strode out of the restroom without waiting for her to respond.

"Evelyn, you bitch!" Sasha's voice rang out with rage.

I turned to find her storming toward me. Her eyes were burning with fury. "Evelyn!"

She raised her hand high to slap me.

I smirked. I was amused by how easily Sasha could be provoked.

After that fateful night when Ethan had taken control of my life, I vowed to become stronger-not just in my career but in every aspect of my being.

Countless hours of fitness routines and sports training had honed both my body and mind. I had mastered combat techniques that had become second nature.

In a flash, I intercepted her slap with a punch to her face. Then, I grabbed her throat and pressed her against the sink.

"Ahh!" She was visibly shaken. Her voice trembled as she stammered, "This is a lawful society... You actually hit me? I'll make sure everyone hears about this! They'll know how violent you are!" I chuckled softly and said nothing.

When I returned to the table, Ethan's gaze was locked on me. His face was clouded with concern. "Are you okay? You look pale."
