The knifeâs sharp edge hovered dangerously close to Raeganâs eyes.
Raegan gripped Tessaâs hand tightly and tried, with all her might, to stop Tessa from stabbing her.
However, Tessaâs pill-induced strength was overwhelming, and Raegan felt her own stamina dwindling.
In a desperate move, Raegan kneed Tessa in the lower abdomen.
The two wrestled and rolled toward the edge of a poorly repaired platform.
The knife in Tessaâs hand shifted and was now pressing even closer against Raeganâs neck.
The distance between life and death was less than an inch.
Slowly, Raeganâs grasp weakened as exhaustion took over.
She could only watch in despair as the knifeâs tip edged closer to her skin.
Just then, a thunderous roar echoed downstairs.
âRaegan!â
Raeganâs gaze shifted, and it landed on Mitchel.
Scattered around him were bags of money.
Mitchelâs heart trembled as he looked up.
The grief and pain on his handsome face were clearly seen in the moonlight.
Tears welled up in Raeganâs eyes, tears flowing down her forehead and dropping to the ground below.
With her remaining strength, she bit her lip and whispered, âGood bye, Mitchel.

It seemed that she was at the deathâs door.

Either way, it would be a fatal end for her.
Seemingly driven to the edge of sanity, Mitchel ignored the blood gushing from his legs and frantically scrambled up the stairs.
Fear engulfed him to the core.
In a desperate attempt to sustain his strength, he jabbed at the wounds on his thigh to push himself beyond limit.
âNo, no, Raegan.
You canât die.
You canât.
.
Tears welled up in Mitchelâs otherwise stoic expression, clouding his vision.
The instant he reached the second floor, a figure plummeting from above.
Bang! The sound of the impact was deafening.
Mitchelâs gaze snapped to the sight of a vivid crimson pooling on the ground.
