The attacker held her tightly from behind.
Fear seized her, but instinct propelled her into action, summoning a burst of courage to defend herself. She lowered her head and sank her teeth into the man's forearm.
The man hissed and released her immediately.
Vivian bolted for the door, but the man shoved her into the wall. She frantically turned around. When she saw him pull out a dagger, her eyes widened in dread. Her heart was pounding in her chest.
The attacker charged at her.
She managed to block the attack, but the knife penetrated her hand.
"Ah…" She let out an ear-piercing scream, scared at the sight of the streaming blood, her hands trembling.
The man strangled her before she could overcome the shock and pain.
Vivian struggled to breathe, her brain racing to break free. She summoned her strength and kneed him in the crotch. She pushed him away as soon as his grip loosened around her neck.
