"Justin, you bastard! If anything happens to Ms. Bella, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

The frigid night air was biting, with the temperature plunging to a bone-chilling minus 20 degrees Celsius.

The blizzard in the mountains grew fiercer, cutting across Bella's face like a bone-scraping razor-cold and sharp. The frenzied shadows of the trees, the howling wind around her, and the unspeakable eerie atmosphere added to the suffocating sorrow already weighing on her heart.

Bracing against the piercing wind and trudging through the snow with the support of her cane, Bella moved forward, each step deep and uncertain. She had no destination in mind and no idea where she was headed.

Her heart was broken, in a state of despair. The plummeting temperature lowered her willpower, leaving her with no motivation to keep going.

Adrift in the savage mountain wilderness, a person without the will to live on was no different than a lamb before being slaughtered. One wrong step and nature's merciless hand could easily swallow her whole.

"Justin... I hate you... I hate you so much..."

corners.
