Beyond the Divorce

Amidst the chaos, the woman took advantage of Ava hugging my thigh to attack me since I couldn't move. She grabbed my hair and cursed, "How dare you hit me? This is what you get for messing with me." The room was a mess. The two teachers scrambled to intervene again to stop the couple from beating me up.

Jenny bravely went forward to bite the woman's leg, which made her scream in pain and throw Jenny to the ground.

I was worried that Jenny might get hurt if she tried again, so I quickly shouted, "Stay put, Jenny!"

Little Ava was scared and could not stop crying. Carol tried to stop the man, but he pushed her away while I tried to shield Ava.

After getting rid of all the obstacles in his way, the man lunged at me. His wife gripped my hair, while he aimed for my head.

The others in the room gasped, but it was too late to stop him. I watched his fist come at me, feeling like prey that could not move in the face of its predator.

He got closer, and I closed my eyes, resigned to my fate. But I felt no pain. Instead, I heard a muffled thud and felt something heavy collapse next to me. It startled me, but at the same time, the pain on my scalp was gone. The sound of a wail rang through the air...

When I opened my eyes, I saw two new figures in the room, who had appeared suddenly as though by magic. The room's atmosphere instantly chilled.

Atlas and Dylan had arrived just in time, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw the chubby man lying on the ground gasping for air while Dylan stepped on him. Meanwhile, the woman was wailing, holding onto her hand which had gripped my hair earlier. It was now twisted and deformed.

Atlas scooped up a crying Ava into his arms and pulled me into his embrace at the same time.
