“H-Help me… please.” Victoria called out again. The pain had become unbearable. Her white dress was now stained both in front and behind, the crimson spreading so quickly it made her breathing hitch. Every cramp felt sharper than the last, twisting through her abdomen until she could barely stay upright. She tried reaching for her phone again, but her trembling fingertips only managed to push it farther away. It scraped uselessly across the polished floor, just beyond her reach no matter how desperately she stretched for it. Two of the company's staff who were passing by heard her. “Oh my God…” one of them gasped before immediately running towards Victoria. “Call an ambulance!” she shouted to her colleague, who instantly pulled out her phone and began dialing. “She's bleeding!”
