The Promise of Happiness novel Atalie and Samuel

Chapter 935

As expected, the shadow in the dark followed her as she took the narrow path.

A cold glint flashed across her eyes. She turned sideways and kept her body against the wall, making it so that the person would not be able to see her.

As the sound of the muted footsteps got closer and closer, Natalie pressed a button on her ring, and a small sharp razor popped right out.

When she could almost detect the sounds of the person's breathing, Natalie sprang from the corner of the walls and immobilized the man by his clavicle.

She pointed the sharp razor right at his neck.

Jesper's back was forced against the cold and damp wall as he felt cold metal edging on his neck.

He had never felt so close to death before. His arteries were pounding from the adrenaline coursing through his bloodstream.

Jesper had never imagined himself to be a timid person. However, he could not seem to calm himself down right then.

Red, hot blood was going to gush out of his neck if the woman had just applied minimal force on the razor.

“D-Don't use any force!” Beads of cold sweat dotted his forehead as Jesper stammered.
