Well, you could try to be more concise in your writing. For example, instead of using multiple words to describe something, find a single, powerful word. Also, check for subplots that might not be essential and consider removing them.

One way to cut word count is to look for repetitive phrases or ideas and consolidate them. Also, be ruthless in trimming overly long dialogues or scenes that don't advance the plot. Sometimes, simpler language can do the trick too.

And he never realizes that he will ever grow a heart for such a promiscuous and cheap woman… He points a gun straight at her heart. “Die with me, or accept my love—which one do you choose?” She pouts and turns around, before she pushes an adorable child into his arms. “Here, there’s your answer.”
