Nancy knew the film set was probably empty by now. Charlie and Luna were likely waiting for her somewhere else. But her fear forced her to shout for help. "Help!... Ahhh... Charlie... save me..."
"Damn bi*ch!"
Alexander saw that he was less than three meters away from Nancy. His anger boiled over again. "Go ahead. Let's see who comes to save you! Damn it!"
Nancy could hear his footsteps getting closer. Despair started to fill her eyes.
She wasn't Vivian. She was Nancy!
Why should she suffer for what Vivian had done?
Deep down, Nancy was a traditional woman. After spending one night with Charlie, she saw herself as his, secretly promising her love to him. Once the time was right, after returning to her dad, she'd dedicate herself to healing Charlie's wounds, the ones left by Vivian.
But... But if the man chasing her caught her, she knew what would happen...
The thought made her eyes well up with tears. At that moment, she decided firmly: if Alexander caught her, she'd bring him down with her!
Maybe this fierce resolve made Nancy stop running, turning around suddenly.
Alexander hadn't expected Nancy to stop. Unable to stop himself, he ran straight into her.
With a loud "thud," they both fell to the ground.
Alexander cursed in frustration, "Are you crazy?!"
