She cursed under her breath and hung up the phone, then crouched there and vomited uncontrollably, as if her entire insides were about to come out. After throwing up until she was dizzy and weak, she started sobbing.
It was already the middle of the night, and she was crying hysterically outside like a madwoman. People upstairs began yelling at her, calling her crazy. Some even threw bottles down in protest. But she didn't care—not one bit.
Just as she was gasping for breath between sobs, a strong hand suddenly yanked her up. Through her tear-blurred vision, she looked up to see a man staring at her furiously, his expression as if he was about to kill someone.
The alcohol fogging her brain cleared slightly.
