We should never harm others, but we must always guard against those who might harm us.
If she did something outrageous, it would be good to be prepared.
In fact, it was thanks to my smart thinking that I informed Elias in advance.
Otherwise.
The consequences would have been unimaginable.

We were already college students, and some classmates organized a drinking party.
The boys were all very enthusiastic, and some girls were eager to join in too.
But some said they wouldn't drink alcohol and would use soft drinks instead.
I was one of them.
To be safe, I poured my own juice and didn't let anyone else touch it.
But even with all my caution, I still fell victim.
My head felt dizzy, my legs were weak, and my vision became increasingly blurry.
I stumbled into the bathroom, immediately reaching for my phone to contact Elias.
But before I could dial, two burly thugs burst in, grabbed my arms, and started dragging me out.
I wanted to scream for help.
But my throat felt glued shut, and I couldn't make a sound.
I wanted to struggle.
My legs and arms were limp and powerless, unable to exert any strength.
I gritted my teeth and prayed silently in my heart. "Elias, please come quickly!"
With no one to save me, I was quickly dragged out of the bathroom.
In the dimly lit hallway, my blurry vision vaguely caught a familiar sight.
It was her.
Mila.
She twirled a lock of hair around her finger, giving me a sinister smile.
As if she were saying, "Violet, go to hell!"
With just a quick glance, the two thugs pulled me into the stairwell.
Worried about being seen in the elevator, they dragged me down the stairs.
As we neared the first floor, footsteps approached, making them nervous. They tried to lift me and run.
But at that moment, a pair of black shoes came into view.
My heavy head tilted up, and I saw a stern, ice-cold face in front of me.
I opened my mouth to call out, but no sound came out.
The thug blocking our way, enraged, shouted, "Get out of the way!"
With a cold laugh, the man lifted his foot and kicked.
"Ouch!"
With a scream like a slaughtered pig, one thug was kicked back, hitting the stairs behind him with a crash that shook the building.
The force was so great it felt like the stairs had been dented.
In my daze, I smiled faintly.
Taking on Owen in a fight, they were practically courting death!
The other thug tried to fight but was pinned down by Elias, who beat him black and blue, making him scream.
