Chapter 333

Mandy stared down at the woman sprawled on the ground, barely clinging to life. The woman's chest rose and fell in shallow, trembling breaths-her life was hanging by a thread.

But even now, Mandy's fury was far from spent.

To be certain that the woman would never recover the use of her hands or feet, Mandy snatched up a heavy stone and brought it down, again and again, onto the woman's wrists and ankles.
