Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen novel Chapter 1

"How dare you run away? You rotten bastard! Can't run anymore, can you? I'd like to see how you're gonna bolt now!"

An infuriating voice echoed in her ears.

No, no, no!

Was she still unable to escape? She'd tried to kill herself already, why was she still not free!

An immense pain pierced her heart, and then, she snapped her eyes open!

Her eyes were bloodshot, staring straight at the man in front of her.

No time to think, Eileen Lopez grabbed a heavy ashtray by her side and smashed it towards the man’s head!

"You bitch! How dare you resist me? Your fiancé has already sold you to me, you can’t run away tonight!"

Fiancé? Hubery Cooper?

Wait, no, hadn't she tried to preserve her innocence by ending her life in that live streaming factory filled with machines, props, and cameras?

This is... a hotel room?

Eileen was shocked again. This man was not a black market worker, he was... director Harlan?

Her memory quickly returned.

This was a scene from five years ago.

Back then, she had just entered the entertainment industry and offended an influential producer because she refused to accept sleeping with him. He spread many rumors about her and she was under heavy online attack. Feeling down, Hubery called to comfort her and invited her to meet him at his TV drama shooting site.

But that night, the director of the TV drama barged into her hotel room and attempted to sexually assault her. She resisted, began to feel unwell, and just when she thought she was done for, the hotel's fire alarm suddenly rang. Harlan thought there was a fire and hurriedly fled.

She was framed and offended Harlan, which made her life in the entertainment industry unbearable. The online attacks on her increased, and once she was nearly splashed with sulfuric acid by a crazy fan when she went out.

But that was all in the past. Why was Harlan now right in front of her?

She didn't have time to think. She seized the ashtray and with all her strength, repeatedly smashed it towards Harlan's head!

Forced to retreat, Harlan was still cursing.

"How are you still so strong, didn't Hubery drug you? Do you know who I am?!"

Eileen spotted a fruit knife on the coffee table. She quickly went over, picked it up, and thrust it hard into Harlan's shoulder.

"You beast!"

Sharp screams echoed in the room.
