But suddenly I felt my whole body going weak, an uncontroble heat surging from deep inside me, desire spiking out of nowhere.


    Even with my ss at her throat, Tiana was still screaming like a maniac: “Garrett! I drugged her drink! She won’tst much longer!<b>” </b>


    My mind was spinning, only one thought left:[]


    “They’re all fucking insane!“]


    The burning sensation was getting stronger, my hand holding the ss starting to shake.]


    Garrett looked at me with that terrifying expression.


    The blood on his head had dried, but his stomach wound was still bleeding. Every movement made fresh blood seep through.[]


    He pressed his hand against his gut, fighting through the pain: “Sutton, put the ss down<b>, </b>get on your knees and apologize to Tiana, and we’ll call it even.“]]


    “Otherwise-“His eyes were pure malice: “You can probably guess how this ends for you.‘


    “Tiana was just joking around with you.”]]


    SPL


    I pressed the ss deeper into Tiana’s carotid artery, my voice raw: “Go fuck yourself! Apologize? In your dreams!“]


    “Garrett! If you love this purebred bitch so much, just be with her! Why the hell did you drag me into this<b>?!</b><b>“</b><b>] </b>


    Garrett opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.]


    “Garrett, what are you waiting for?! You coward! Can’t even handle one woman?!” Tiana kept egging him on. “You gonna let her walk all over you forever?!“]]


    Hearing that, Garrett actually reached for my head.[]


    I shoved Tiana toward him hard!


    He was already injured, and catching her reopened his stomach wound. Blood poured out.[]


    “Garrett, you got this or not? Want me to take over?” That sleazy voice–Leo–spoke up again.[]


    “Haha, this ‘mutt‘ has some serious fight in her. I like that!“[]


    He started moving toward me, reaching for my hair


    I didn’t hesitate–threw a punch straight at his eye socket!]


    One punch! Two punches! Thuer punches!


    My instructor was right–speed kills!


    But that damn drug was making everything worse. My hands and feet were getting unsteady.[]


    If I stayed here any longer<b>, </b>I was dead.]]


    All that chaos had gotten me closer to the door.[]


    So, I used myst bit of strength to charge toward it!]


    Tiana’s shrill voice followed: “Marcus! Stop her! Don’t let her get away!“]


    Marcus was the guy with gold–rimmed sses who looked all refined and schrly.[]


    Just as I swung at him, he suddenly stepped aside and quickly opened the door.]]


    Get out of here-“]


    The second I stepped outside, my legs gave out and <b>I </b>nearly copsed.[]


    The door mmed shut behind me.]]


    I could hear Tiana screaming inside: “Marcus, are you insane?! Why did you let her go! Don’t you know-“]


    “Know what? Can’t be worse than what we’re already doing,” Marcus replied calmly. “That Marshall girl isn’t some nobody you can manipte with dirty tricks.“]


    Tiana wasn’t done causing shit.


    “Garrett, you’re pathetic! Your whole family’s future is on your shoulders, don’t you get that?!”


    “That bitch just wants to see you fail!“]]


    Garrett didn’t speak, but Marcus’sughter rang out–hollowughter that couldn’t hide his disappointment.[]


    My heart was racing, that fire burning through my whole body.


    I gripped the ss shard tighter, letting the sharp edges dig into my palm.]


    The pain helped me stay conscious.


    I stumbled toward the exit.]


    Thank God there were Ubers waiting outside the bar.
