"A blind girl, huh? But damn, you’re pretty. Be good and don’t scream, and I’ll take real good care of you."

Before I could react, rough hands yanked at my clothes. I struggled with all my strength, but no matter how hard I pushed, I couldn’t get him off me.

I bit down on his arm as hard as I could.

"You little bitch, you looking to die?!" Enraged, he flung me to the ground, his heavy breaths hot against my neck.

My clothes had just been violently torn apart when a sharp, shocked voice shrieked from the doorway.

"Adalyn! How could you do something like this at Mr. Bain’s wedding? Do you have no shame?" The man above me paused, then scoffed, panting.

"She threw herself at me first. Like hell I’d be interested in a blind girl." The moment he spoke, the room buzzed with accusations.

"I can’t believe Mr. Bain’s fiancée is actually blind!"

"No wonder she lost her sight—imagine cheating on Mr. Bain of all people."

"What a shameless slut!"

The words slithered toward me like venomous snakes, each one biting deep into my skin.

Panicked, I clutched at the remains of my torn clothing and curled into myself, burying my head in my knees. My whole body trembled violently.
