"Ha, if you say I won't get it, well, guess what? I don't even care to understand!" Lane sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "You know what I can't stand? Your holier-than-thou attitude! What, you think you're something special? Just another plaything left behind!"
Dorothy realized there was no saving him.
Maybe Lane hadn't turned bad; maybe he was rotten to the core from the get-go!
The murderous glint in his eyes was unmistakable.
Yet, Dorothy didn't move an inch, resolutely standing in front of Kenneth.
Behind her, Kenneth's voice was almost pleading, "Dorothy, please move!"
"No way! If I leave, he'll definitely kill you, Lane's lost it!"
"I don't care if I die... but you... you have to survive... for Abigail and Langston..."
Just as Dorothy was about to argue, Lane bellowed.
"Enough! Dorothy, you don't seriously think I'd spare Kenneth if I got rid of you, do you? There are only two outcomes today: either Kenneth dies, or... both of you do!"
"I'm begging you, Lane, Kenneth has nothing to do with this!"
"As I said, if you willingly be mine, let me have my way just once, maybe then I'd consider sparing him."
"..."
Lane kept advancing, giving Dorothy no time to think.
"Dorothy, don't!" Kenneth was desperately trying to break free from the ropes binding him, but it was futile.
Dorothy's lips quivered, and in the next second, she grabbed Lane's wrist again.
"Play nice, and I can make you happy! Give you a good time!"
She clenched her teeth, then suddenly raised her hand—
A slap echoed loudly across Lane's cheek!
Lane was furious, his hand shooting out to grasp Dorothy's neck.
