On command, four large, heavy-set women—friends and relatives Damaris had brought along—surged from behind her.
The five of them descended on Yvonne in a flurry of blows.
Yvonne screamed, trying to shield her stomach, but her hair was held in a death grip, the pain so intense it felt like her scalp was being torn off.
Outnumbered, Yvonne was pinned to the ground as the women began tearing at her clothes.
Maggie pointed to a particularly fierce woman who was slapping Yvonne's face. "See that one?" she said to the others. "That's Damaris's sister-in-law."
Janina and the others focused on the woman. It was true what they say about family; her appearance and her ferocity were a perfect match for Damaris.
Although the women's movements looked terrifying, they were careful to avoid Yvonne's pregnant belly. Most of their attacks were aimed at her face, which was quickly becoming bruised and swollen.
Yvonne shrieked, struggling relentlessly.
At first, she tried to fight back.
But soon, her strength gave out, and she went limp, letting them beat her.
Her hair was a tangled mess. In that moment, her eyes locked onto Janina, who was watching from the crowd.
Yvonne, as if grasping a lifeline, reached a hand out toward Janina, crying for help. "Miss Holt, help me! The baby is Julius's!"
Being singled out like that startled Janina.
Yvonne had the audacity to ask *her* for help?
Did she think Janina was an idiot, completely oblivious to everything?
It was laughable.
When Yvonne was hurting Liam and Joy, did she ever stop to think that karma would one day come for her?
But Yvonne was clever. Knowing she couldn't escape this humiliation and had lost all face, she covered her face with her hands, not letting anyone see it.
Janina had to admire Yvonne's resilience. After everything Damaris had put her through, her pregnancy seemed unaffected. She was still holding on.
Damaris held up her phone, pointing it at Yvonne. "Everyone get a good look! This is the slut who loves to seduce other women's husbands! She'll sleep with anyone for money. Take a good look, and then go check your own husbands' phones to see if you find her picture!"
Someone, feeling a pang of pity, spoke up. "You've made your point. Don't push her over the edge."
Damaris immediately shot back, "Fine, I'll give her to your husband. You can play nursemaid for her when the baby comes!"
Yvonne gritted her teeth, vowing to make Damaris pay for this.
Suddenly, she let out a piercing scream.
The crowd then saw a slick of blood running down Yvonne's thigh...
