Chapter 63

As Alex contemplated his next move, Josephine burst out of the kitchen, wielding

a frying pan like a weapon, fury blazing in her eyes.

"I've had enough of this nonsense!" she shouted.

One of the thugs lunged at her, but with a swift, powerful swing, the frying pan connected with his face.

The sickening crunch of bone echoed as his nose shattered, sending him sprawling to the floor. Alex watched, a flicker of admiration in his eyes-Josephine was as fierce as ever.

She wasn't delicate; she was a storm incarnate, and when she struck, the world felt her wrath. "Get her!" the fat man barked at the remaining two thugs.

Josephine's eyes narrowed. "I cook alone, clean alone, do the laundry alone, wake up early, and come back late every night-all alone!"

She swung again, the pan smacking into another thug's cheek with a resounding crack, knocking him down.

The last thug drew a small knife.

Before he could act, Alex casually tossed an ashtray across the room. It struck the thug's hand, the knife clattering to the ground.

In the same instant, Josephine's frying pan met his face, and he dropped like a stone.

All three thugs lay defeated, groaning on the greasy floor, too afraid to face the tempest that was Josephine.

"You, fat man!" she growled, pointing the frying pan at him.

"I quit! Open your own damn restaurant!"

The fat man, his bravado faltering as he glanced at his fallen goons, tried to sneer.

"Fine! See how easy it is to find another job. You'll come crawling back!"

"Damn you," she spat. "I'll find work that pays better and treats me right, you bastard."

She spun around, marching back into the kitchen to gather her belongings.
