Chapter 74 thunderstorm

edit, 　　Alisha’s POV

A critical realization loomed: my only chance at survival lay in revealing Shaunda's location, leading these hostile people onto the estate. Yet, I wouldn't allow myself to utter any word.

　　"You bitch, if you refuse to speak now, you'll never speak again," the man warned, venom lacing his voice. But I remained resolute, unwilling to betray Shaunda.

　　My silence seemed to enrage the man further. He ruthlessly drove my face into the gritty sand, his foot grinding down on the wound at my neck. "I had intended to show mercy, but it appears you have decided to choose a different path."
