Falling from Grace and Losing Everything

Samantha's heart leapt to her throat.

She gulped heavily while reaching into her backpack to take a mini stun baton then clenched it tightly and raised it up.

Since things had already reached this point, her only choice was to protect herself and avoid getting caught if getting found was now inevitable.

Otherwise, it was not only her personal safety that would be compromised, because Timothy would be implicated alongside her as well. That was a conclusion she wanted to avoid at all costs!

The bodyguard's every step seemed to stamp right on her heart.

Just as he was about to walk up to the cabinet door, the lights went dark all of a sudden.

The bodyguard was startled by the sudden darkness.

A hand then reached out and grabbed Samantha's wrist. Startled, she instinctively attempted to struggle but the thumb of that hand gently tapped twice on the inside of her wrist.

Samantha's struggle and resistance disappeared at once.
