Jarrod made no move to resist or defend himself, simply enduring her grasp.

Nicole, weakened by her emotions and recent events, lacked the strength to strangle him.

Exhausted, she finally released him.

But in a surge of fury, she clamped onto Jarrod's arm, biting down with all her might.

Her teeth broke his skin, drawing blood. Nicole tasted it, a mix of sweetness and saltiness.

Nicole's bite remained unyielding as though she wanted to tear the flesh from his arm.

Jarrod winced in pain but did not push her away.

The pain seemed to alleviate his guilt, knowing she was still fighting.

“You bitch!" Suddenly, a shrill voice cut through the air.

Jamie charged in, her foot striking Nicole with force.

Bang! Nicole was kicked over.

"Eww..." After rolling a few times, Nicole coughed up blood. Her face was ghostly pale, presenting a ghastly sight.

"You lunatic, how dare you attack Jarrod! I'll kill you!" Jamie yelled.

Fueled by rage, Jamie raised her foot, poised to strike Nicole's head.

Bang! Out of nowhere, a sudden kick sent Jamie sprawling to the ground.

The force of the kick made Jamie roll even further than Nicole had.

"Ah... Who kicked me... Who?" Jamie was caught off-guard by the unexpected and powerful kick.

By the time she regained her footing, Jarrod had swiftly carried Nicole into the car and driven away.

Jamie tried to follow, only to be hit in the face with the car's exhaust.

Frustrated, Jamie stamped her foot and let out a cry. "Ahhh!" She reluctantly chased after them.
