Chapter 215

Noel ignored the other two and went straight for Jessica's clothes. "You shouldn't be on the streets if you're that scared of trouble," he spat. "I only told you to take off her clothes—not kill her. But look at you, shaking all over after just a few words from her. Fucking useless idiots!" Jessica trembled, knowing that struggling wouldn't get her anywhere. The more she resisted, the harder he'd hit her. Before she could even say anything, he'd already yanked her coat down to her arms. With her hands tied behind the chair, the coat got stuck around her waist. He couldn't remove the turtleneck she wore underneath, so he pulled a military knife from his pocket. She froze in terror, tears spilling uncontrollably down her cheeks. "Please… tell me how much you want. I can give you money. Just don't use the knife, alright?" she pleaded. Noel smirked, resting one foot on her leg as he leaned down. He tapped the cold steel blade against her cheek, sending a shiver down her spine.
