The only thing I could do was to lie there while my body was shaking. Michael gave me another kick, this time with the back of his foot.
"Hey, I barely touched you. Why are you pretending to be so weak?"
Then, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Forget it. I don’t want to waste time on you. Come to the family mansion with me tomorrow and say you want the ring back. But listen carefully, don’t say anything stupid. One word out of place and I’ll make you regret it."
With that, he turned and walked off with Regina, as if nothing had happened.
It took me a long time to sit up. My hands were bleeding. Little pieces of glass and gravel were stuck in my skin. I couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.
I dragged myself to the side of the road and tried to call for a taxi. I just wanted to get to the hospital and treat my wounds. After that, I heard the sound of a car speeding up.
Regina’s car came straight toward me. Before I could react, everything went black with a loud crash. When I regained a bit of awareness, I heard voices.
It was Michael and the doctor.
"Did Evelyn have a miscarriage?"
There was a short silence.
"Forget it," Michael said coldly.
