Chapitre 742: Dream a little dream

Nefretiri

"I like it when you run," Ricky snarled as I backed away, barely avoiding the swipe of his hand. "But you make it harder for yourself. Just admit you're lying, and it won't be that bad."

I was tired of being abused, cheated on, and taken advantage of. Today would be the last day I allowed this man to raise a hand to me. At least, that's what I hoped.
