chapter 7-8 being a victim

"...and I know, being in love with somebody is a wonderful feeling, and the most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved. So I don't want you to be broken when you find out about Alex, and I'll destroyed you if he tries to use you against me." Mr. Lucas stood up, his eyes fixed on me.

"Hold on with a bulldog grip, and chew and choke as much as possible, before it will be late," his ominous words echoed as he left. Fear gripped me, leaving me torn between conflicting truths. Alex's intentions, my family's enemy, the prophecy—all of it swirled in my mind, clouding my judgment.

Seeking solace, I turned to the royal stag whisky on the table, trying to drown out the chaos in my thoughts. The alcohol dulled my senses and temporarily erased the weight of Mr. Lucas's words. In a haze, I lost track of time and control. I wanted to forget, to escape, even if just for a moment.

Feeling the effects of the intoxication, I stumbled towards the restroom, desperate to regain my composure. I splashed water on my face, hoping to clear my mind. But as I did, I noticed a man entering the restroom, his intentions far from innocent. Panic surged within me as he approached, his intentions unmistakable.

In my vulnerable state, I struggled to defend myself against his advances. The effects of the drink betrayed me, making it difficult to fight back. He cornered me, pressing me against the wall, his intentions clear. My cries for help echoed within the confined space, and I closed my eyes, bracing for the worst.

But before his unwanted advances could escalate further, the situation took a shocking turn. The man's body fell to the ground, lifeless. My eyes snapped open in disbelief, only to meet the chilling gaze of Mr. Lucas. In his hand was a knife, dripping with blood—a sight that sent shivers down my spine.

Overwhelmed by fear and confusion, I lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground. The last thing I saw was the grim figure of Mr. Lucas, a trail of blood marking his path. Darkness enveloped me, and the world faded away.
