befors Sophie could react, the stall door slammed shut behind her.
Then ice cold water poured down from above.
Chunks of ice, hard as stones, pelted her body.
She gasped, instinctively trying to dodge, but there was nowhere to run in the narrow stall.
She had no choice but to take it–every hit like a slap from winter itself.
“Where’s all that attitude now, Sophie? Keep acting tough!”
Celine’s shrill laughter echoed from the other side.

Celine jumped, her phone slipped from her shaking hands and clattered to the floor.
She reached for it–Ryan beat her to it.
He handed it to Marcus.

“Ryan. Watch them. If even one of them tries to run–bring me their heads.”
And with that, he stormed out.
Celine’s knees nearly buckled.
