Maureen’s scream echoed through the warehouse violently.
Blood immediately spread across her shoulder while unbearable pain shot through her entire body.
The man yanked the knife back out roughly, causing her body to jerk painfully against the chair.
Tears blurred her vision instantly.
Her breathing became uneven.
The room spun violently around her.
The attacker grabbed her hair again forcefully.
“Now he’ll understand what happens when he refuses to stay out of things.”
Maureen could barely hear him anymore.
Pain consumed everything.
But through the dizziness—
One thought kept repeating desperately inside her mind.
The baby.
Please let the baby survive.
Then suddenly—
Gunshots exploded outside the warehouse.
The attacker froze instantly.
More shouting followed.
Rapid foot
