After Chloe finished talking, she spun on her heel, ready to make her exit, having learned a valuable lesson today. She was confident that the bald- headed guy wouldn't dare show his face around here again anytime soon.

She'd barely taken a couple of steps when she heard the bald man's voice, dripping with venom, behind her. "I know you. You're the girl Shawn brought to the hotel four years ago..."

The mention of Shawn's name stopped Chloe in her tracks. Her blood felt like it had turned to ice, and she stood frozen, a chill creeping over her skin. Her whole body started to tremble, almost on its own.

Was he talking about... Shawn? The very same Shawn who had teamed up with Linda to orchestrate that dreadful night?

Truth is, Chloe had never laid eyes on him directly. Her memory of the incident was a blur; she had been drugged, only recognizing his voice from a sickening video on Linda's phone-a voice so rough and gravelly, it made her stomach churn.

Even though she had never seen him, Shawn's name had become a haunting nightmare, a blemish on her life that wouldn't fade.

Chloe slowly turned around, her eyes wide as she stared at the bald man lying on the ground.

Seeing the shock and a flicker of fear in Chloe's eyes, the bald man thought he'd hit a nerve. "Didn't expect that, did you? I recognized you. Aren't you the woman Shawn messed with? You better finish me off today, because if I recover, I'll make sure you're done for."

With every ounce of strength, the bald man got to his feet, chuckling smugly, "Do you know who I am? I'm Rat, the big boss around here..."

His bravado was cut short when Chloe's hand shot out, clamping around his throat, lifting him effortlessly off the ground. Her strength was unbelievable. The bald man struggled against her grip, but it was like trying to escape a python's coils.

His face turned beet red, lips going a sickly purple, eyes bulging as if ready to burst from their sockets. True fear finally registered on his face as he looked at Chloe like she was a demon.

This woman wasn't just dangerous; she was downright terrifying.

As his lungs emptied of air, he saw spots dancing in his vision, the suffocation making him feel like he was drowning. He had no fight left in him.

Just when he thought it was lights out, Chloe let go. He crumpled to the ground, coughing violently, gulping in air. Those few moments had been a brush with death.

When he looked up at Chloe again, his eyes were wide with terror.

Chloe moved closer, and the bald man scrambled back, kicking his legs. “Stay back, you crazy woman, stay back!"

Chloe had regained her composure, her voice steady and commanding. "Spill everything you know, every last detail. If you don't, you won't leave this alley in one piece today."

The bald man was genuinely

terrified now. Honestly, I don't know

much. Back then, I was just one of Shawn's Cookouts. I saw him bring a woman to the hotel, and her face was so striking, it stuck in my mind. That's why I recognized you the second I saw you today."

"But that day, you weren't assaulted..."
