Beyond the Divorce

Just as the words left my lips, a sudden cry was heard. "Chloe, be careful!"

I jolted, barely turning around before Atlas yanked me to the other side. Simultaneously, I noticed a shadow lunging toward him, a short blade gleaming in their hand.

I cried out in shock, "Atlas! Knife..."

Atlas dodged the attack, engaging in a fierce struggle with the assailant. I screamed, unable to believe the sudden turn of events. The guards from the restaurant were now rushing over. However, at that moment, the assailant seemed to lose control. He ruthlessly lunged at Atlas once more.

Atlas evaded. But to my horror, the assailant swiftly turned toward me, the speed leaving me defenseless. All that remained were my cries of alarm.

In an instant, a figure yanked me away, the momentum causing her body to lurch forward.

Then, in the next heartbeat, her form seemed to freeze. In the brief moment before the guards reached him, he vaulted, disappearing into the ocean's depths. Gunshots echoed in my ears. Everything returned to a semblance of normalcy.

Others were rushing toward us, and I stood there, still trembling. Atlas embraced me tightly.

Yet, I watched in horror the next moment as Trinity slumped down.

I broke out of my trance. "Trinity..."

It was Trinity's voice that had warned me to be careful, and it was she who had, in that moment of sheer terror, pulled me aside. But now...
