Chapter 7

"If I could go back to my college days, I wish I'd never met you."

Alec remained silent, a bitter smile hanging on his lips.

I picked up my purse and turned, leaving with a flourish.

Zoran was waiting for me at the courthouse entrance. I looked at him against the light, his features indistinct but smiling.

I strode towards him.

"Serena! You bitch! Go to hell!"

I was knocked down onto the steps by a powerful force. The back of my head instantly became wet, my vision gradually blurring. The woman on top of me spewed venomous curses, her right hand clutching a dagger, poised to plunge it into my chest.

Pinned down and unable to move, I saw the silhouette of a tall man before my eyes closed... He looked just like someone I once knew.

The pungent smell of disinfectant in the hospital stung my nose as I slowly opened my eyes. I found my head wrapped in gauze. Recalling the scene before I fainted made my head throb unbearably.
