ennifer yanked Robert by the arm and forced his head up, angling him toward Chloe.

Chloe, whether this little bastard lives or dies is completely up to you,” Jennifer said with a sneer. “I’ll give you ten seconds to decide. You can say no, but if I’m going down, I’m taking someone with me.

The kid’s sharp, too smart for his own good. Shame he’s about to meet the business end of my blade.” ennifer raised her voice. “Chloe, what’s it gonna be? You’ve got five seconds left.”

Chloe stared at the dagger in Jennifer’s hand and clenched her fists so hard her knuckles went white.

Jennifer, how long are you gonna keep this up?” Arthur shouted. “If you put the knife down now, you can till walk away from this.”

Arthur, shut your mouth. You don’t get a say here. One more word and this kid buys it first.” As she spoke, ennifer instinctively tightened her grip, and red marks immediately appeared on Robert’s neck.

Jennifer!” Arthur was so terrified he dropped to his knees, his whole body shaking.

Jennifer, stop.” Chloe’s voice cut through, calling her out.

ennifer’s eyes locked onto her, gleaming with nothing but triumph.

I’ll do it,” Chloe said, taking a step forward. “It’s just my face. Not exactly a hard choice, is it?”

After a few more steps, Jennifer caught on and immediately yelled, “Chloe, freeze. Don’t take another step.”

Chloe wanted to close the distance, but Jennifer dragged Robert back a few steps, widening the gap.

You think I don’t know you’ve got skills? You’re trying to get close so you can grab the knife from me. Not gonna happen.”

Chloe didn’t stop right away–she just slowed her pace.

Jennifer, you want me to mess up my face. I don’t have a weapon. The only blade here is the one in your hand. Don’t you want to be the one to destroy this face? Then let me come closer, and you can do it yourself. Wouldn’t that feel better?”

Jennifer blinked, caught off guard. Then she snapped, “I said freezel One more step and this kid’s gone.”

Jennifer tightened her hold on the dagger, her whole body tensing up.

Chloe stopped moving, but she kept talking. “Jennifer, isn’t this exactly what you wanted? To see me broken, totally at your mercy? And now you don’t even have the guts to follow through?”

“You’re not tricking me. Chloe, I want to watch you hit rock bottom.” Jennifer let out a bitter laugh. “Arthur, you’ve never been able to get over Chloe, have you? Well, today I’m giving you two the perfect chance to prove your feelings.

“Arthur, I want you to do it yourself–ruin that sickening face of Chloe’s.” Jennifer raised her voice. “Now. I don’t care how you do it, but I want you to destroy that face with your own hands.”

Arthur shook his head. “Jennifer, why do you have to be so cruel?”

“Cruel? Arthur, do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds coming from you? Whether I’m cruel or not isn’t news. You’re just now figuring it out?” Jennifer sneered. “Arthur, you’re a joke. So here’s your choice: either mess up this bitch’s face, or watch me slit this kid’s throat.”

“You-”

“Make your choice. You’ve got ten seconds.” Jennifer raised her voice. “Ten… nine…”

Tears streamed down Arthur’s face as he shook his head. “I can’t do this. Jennifer, how did it come to this?”

“Arthur, if you’re any kind of man, get up and do it.” Chloe’s voice was calm and cold, completely empty.

Arthur looked up at Chloe standing in front of him. In that moment, he realized he’d been a failure from the very beginning–he’d lost before he even started.

“Chloe… I…”

“Just do it.” Chloe looked Jennifer in the distance, her voice barely above a whisper.

Chloe straightened up, took a deep breath, and looked Jennifer in the eyes. “Jennifer, I’ll give you whatever you want even my life. Just let Robert go, please.”

‘What I want, you can’t give me. Arthur, I told you not to test my patience. Since you’re all just wasting time, then-“As Jennifer spoke, she moved to press the blade against Robert’s neck.

‘Jennifer.”

A commanding voice cut through the air, stopping Jennifer mid–motion.

Hearing that voice, Chloe froze too. It was Eugene’s voice. What was he doing here?

Chloe turned and saw a scene she never could have imagined.
