A wave of indescribable panic crawled up from the deepest part of my soul like a venomous snake made of ice.[]
What kind of animals were these people to say shit like that?]
The guy they called Marcus was already
locking the door.
This was Chicago’s most popr nightclub.[]
With the thunderous music outside, once that private room door shut, we could raise hell in here and no one would hear a damn thing.]]
You could scream your lungs out and people would just think you were having a good time. Nobody would suspect a crime was happening.
The second Tiana finished talking, some sleazy voice chimed in with augh: “Hope Garrett won’t be too precious about his girl.”
“I’ve never tasted ‘mutt‘ before–curious what the fuss is about.“<b>] </b>
‘Garrett, you go first, and us boys will clean up after!“[]
Garrett stared me down, moving closer step by step.
Then he started unbuckling his belt.
“Sutton, don’t me me for this.”
His eyes turned vicious, voice dripping with menace.
“If you wanna me someone, me yourself for not knowing your ce.“]
“Tiana was just messing around with you<b>, </b>and you had <b>to </b><b>go </b>psycho–hitting people, making a scene.“[]
“Today, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you’ll think you can walk all over us.“[]
A low, feral growl escaped his throat.]]
Five guys plus psycho Tiana–six against one.[]
And me,pletely <b>alone</b><b>. </b>
Bur–1
I’ve never <b>been </b>the type to full over and take at!
As Garrett approached <b>with </b><b>that </b>sick grin. I lunged for another beer bottle <b>on </b>the table.
Chasti
My Phas the tool
The bottle shattered in
My hand, and without hesitation, I gripped the jagged half and drove it straight into Garrett’s gut.
Growing up, my family spent some time in Brazil where I picked up Brazilian Jiu–Jitsu.[]
My instructor used to say women are naturally weaker than men physically–it’s just biology, can’t change that.]
So if you want to win, there’s only one strategy:
Hit them when they’re not looking and catch thempletely off guard![]
Garrett never saw iting.
He stumbled backward, clutching his stomach with a pained grunt.[]
Blood seeped through his fingers.]]
The sight of blood seemed to freeze everyone in ce.
I caught a flicker of fear in their eyes.]]
But Tiana was screaming like a lunatic: “What are you waiting for?! Get her! Strip her naked!!“]
I shouted back: “Who fucking dares?!”
“Right now this is just a drunken fight! But if youy another finger on me, it’s a felony!“]
“This is between me and Garrett!”
“It’s got nothing <i>to </i>do with any of you!“]
“You all have families, jobs–think real hard about whether screwing up your lives for someone else’s bullshit is worth it!“]
The other four guys looked uncertain now.
I knew if I was just some powerless nobody, they wouldn’t hesitate to destroy me.
But I had the Marshall family behind me.[]
Hurting me meant facing the full wrath of one of the most powerful families in Chicago.[]
Tiana kept shrieking: “What are you scared of?! Once we get her on video acting like a slut, she’ll do whatever we want! We’ll own her!“]]
i hurled the remaining ss shard at her head with everything <b>I </b>had.]
She immediately screamed and ducked.
I <b>used </b>the chaos to grab every bottle on the table and startedunching them at the guys.[]
The room exploded into mayhem.
Cines Dying everywhere, cursing, screaming–total chaos

“Everyone shut the fuck up!“]
In the confusion, I grabbed Tiana by the hair and yanked her in front of me, pressing a sharp ss fragment against her throat.[]
By the time Garrett recovered from the pain, I had my hostage.[]
“Open that door!” My voice was hoarse but dripping with violence. “Or we all die in here tonight!“]
The ss had already broken the skin on Tiana’s neck.]
