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.

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.
