Beyond the Divorce

A sudden force knocked the phone out of my hand, and I tumbled down with no chance of stabilizing myself. An instinctive scream escaped my lips, and I reached forward with both hands to try to keep my balance.

In this terrifying moment, I saw another dark figure emerge from beneath the steps, quickly catching me as I descended. The momentum caused us to stumble involuntarily.

Once stabilized, I saw that the person who caught me was Dylan.

Still in shock, I glared at the steps above, only to find Liora standing there. Her expression was quite complex, her mouth hanging open in a ridiculous manner.

There was astonishment on her face, and she gritted her teeth. Obviously, I hadn't fallen down as she had hoped, leaving her infuriated.

At that moment, another unexpected event occurred.

Seeing me glare at her, Liora tried to descend the steps to get to me. Atlas, however, approached her suddenly. With a powerful kick, he sent Liora tumbling down the steps. Her body flew out like a ragdoll.

The next second, she fell heavily at our feet with a dull thud and a painful groan.

Atlas quickly descended the steps, reaching us. He placed his foot on Liora's face without hesitation.
