Chloe gritted her teeth and slapped Ivan across the face with all her strength. Ivan's face swung to one side.
As Chloe tried to get up, Ivan swiftly pinned her down again.
The fruit Damon had cut for her was knocked over and scattered on the floor.
"Stay away...!" Chloe was terrified to her core. This stranger made her skin crawl; his breath made her nauseous.
"Stay away... if you touch me one more time... I'll kill you!"
Chloe's voice trembled as she spoke. Her clothes and hair were a mess, but she was still so beautiful.
