[Warning: Mature Content Ahead]

Leticia just ran and ran.

As soon as she rushed out of that office, with her wrists still wrapped up with a rope, she made a dash for it and never looked back. Now, even when she’s already running out of breath and her legs are near to giving out, she just keeps running.

This entire place appears like some kind of a mansion with how grandiose the decorum is and how spacious every room seems to be.

The corridors stretch on and on just like a labyrinth. But even then, Leticia has a feeling that it's not that hard to escape from here as long as things like locks and barricades aren't in the equation.

For one, she could see tons of windows and some terraces, allowing her to take a look outside. She learned that it's still night time, but judging by how long she was trapped inside Malcolm's office, dawn must be coming soon.

Apart from that, it has also come to her knowledge that she's still in the city.

Though the streets outside are unfamiliar, Leticia can make out the same commercial edifices that she used to see every day from a distance. This gave her a bit of hope since she wasn't actually as far as she initially expected.

"For now, let's make it to the ground floor. But if I can find another balcony or window on the second floor, I'll take a look and see if I can jump from there," she pondered silently as she kept running.

Then, seconds turn into minutes, and minutes turn into what seems like an eternity.

Leticia wasn't able to find any sign that Malcolm was coming after her. Even though that appeared to be a good thing at first glance, she could sense that it's just a calm before the storm - him not chasing after her made her feel like he had something up his sleeves.

"There it is! A window!" she exclaimed in both surprise and relief the moment she spotted a way out.

She had reached the second floor at this point. Then, at the exact moment that she descended the stairs, she had laid eyes on a window right in front of her.

"It's possible that the doors at the ground floor are locked. I should take this chance while I still can," Leticia thought firmly, sliding the window open and bending over to see how high it was.

"T-This is... manageable..."

It turned out that she's still a few feet high after all. But even then, her survival instincts will do the talking here. She needs to see this through in order to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Then, she froze.

Just when Leticia is about to climb up the window, Malcom appears behind her out of nowhere. He roughly grabs her by the shoulders before forcefully turning her around and slamming her on the wall beside the window.

"Kyaaa!" she screeched in pain, her back aching from the impact.

"Who would've thought that you're secretly a lioness all this time? Biting back at the last minute, huh...?" he trailed off with a peeved smirk and a spine-chilling glare.

"I've been watching over you from the CCTV footage, you know. I've always been watching you, in fact - even way back before. Didn't I get all those information about you because of that...? So, don't come thinking that you can ever escape my watch, princess."

With a wry smirk on his face, Malcolm finally went ahead and did what Leticia had been fearing of the most.

"N-No... S-Stop...!" she cried out with a broken voice.

While still pinning both of her wrists on the wall, he suddenly started kissing her neck like a hungry beast. He kept savoring and devouring her skin, pressing his lips on every spot that he came across with as he trailed kisses all the way down to her collarbone.

Shutting her eyes closed, Leticia began crying desperately once more.

She couldn't believe what's happening right now. She didn't want to believe it.

She never felt so helpless and hopeless in her entire life.

"Stop it, please!" she kept shouting in horror, but only for all her pleas to fall in deaf ears. 

That's until something unprecedented went down at that very moment.

Out of nowhere, Leticia heard the sound of crushing bones and felt how Malcolm abruptly lost his tight grip on her.

At this, her eyes flew wide opened in nonplus and bafflement. Thrown to sixes and sevens, she then gasps at the sight that greets her right then.

"Livi!"

Just now, Livius popped out of nowhere and went ahead to make a merciless onslaught of fatal blows.

He came rushing in all of the sudden and started punching Malcolm in the face as soon as he got his hands on him. The unaware captor did not even have enough time to react. Before he knew it, he already felt his back hitting the cold, hard ground and being towered over by this ferocious monster.

Blow after blow, Livius did not falter or stop even just for a second.
