Joxk and Romd, the two burly men immediately opened another door in the dark and cold room. With a rough motion, Joxk cut the ropes binding Evelyn's legs. "Shut up and walk quickly if you still want to live." Romd looked at Evelyn with a sharp gaze, pointing his index finger in front of the woman'
Evelyn cried out in pain, her voice echoing in the small room. Every pull of hair made Evelyn's body tremble, her eyes closed from the extreme pain. "Let go!" Evelyn, who still had her eyes closed, looked terrified and helpless. The atmosphere in the room was filled with tension, while Evelyn trie
Evelyn felt awkward, but also touched by the offer. "I don't want to trouble you further. I'll wait for my boyfriend here." The woman looked at Evelyn hopefully, then pleaded softly, "Please. I really want to do this. Just for a little while, and I promise it won't take long. I feel so grateful, an

Today was Noah and Evelyn's first date as a couple. They had an appointment to meet at the city park. The city park looked charming in the morning with the sun casting golden rays through the green leaves. Noah arrived early, sitting on a wooden bench overlooking a small pond in the center of the p
Noah and Evelyn's lips parted. Their eyes met, falling into a meaningful silence between them. Noah touched Evelyn's lips gently with his thumb. "I'll teach them a lesson." Evelyn's brow furrowed when Noah suddenly started another conversation. "Them?" "Those two women." Noah's eyes flashed sligh
For a moment, the room was silent. Everyone looked surprised. Some people even blinked their eyes, making sure that they hadn't heard wrong. Evelyn herself looked surprised and somewhat embarrassed.
