“Fuck.” He still had no means of communicating with her.

Instantly, Evan felt regretful about how Nicole looked. She had cuts and bruises on her face.

A bunch of thugs violated Nicole in the streets, all because he left her at the LEX club. Keith, his friend, did not even bother apologizing in person for not taking Nicole home.

While he was being intimate with Shantelle, Nicole suffered in the streets. All the more, Evan

felt obligated to aid Nicole. He paid for her medical expenses and found time to visit the hospital daily. “Evan? Did you hear me? The doctor said I could finally be discharged in two days,” Nicole repeated.

“That‘s good news,” Evan answered. “Since you are feeling better, how about we have the police visit you today? Your statement would help capture those who did this to you.”

“Evan.” Nicole was suddenly teary–eyed. She said, “I don‘t want to. I can‘t. I can‘t bear to recount what happened to me. I know the heavens will take care of them – punish them for what they did to me.” 1

There are only four of the same design. The owner of the brand, Misses Sarah Kate, has one. One had already been bought. The other is in London, still available for sale,” the lady proudly said. “Then, I want that for Shantelle,” Evan said. “But not now. Send it to her next month, please. It will be her birthday this coming December.” “You know her size, right?” Evan asked.
