Barbara's heart pounded in her chest as she tried to comprehend the close call she had just experienced. The sheer force with which the knife had been thrown sent shivers down her spine.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she turned her head slowly. Seeing the knife shoved inside the wall, the force and the speed that the knife flew by horrified her to the core. She was sure that she heard a gush of wind when it passed by her ear!
Barbara gulped. She forgot that the woman in front of her was no ordinary woman. She was the famous Venom! An outlaw who did not fear anyone and stole from the palace.
Winning the bargain of the last night was out of her luck, not strength. She could never influence Kristie to do something she wished not to do. Besides, she would gain nothing if she used that crazy man's card to threaten Kristie. She might anger her more to think about doing something bad for her or her family.
