"I told you, release her." Jarrod's tone brooked no argument.

Reluctantly, Alec obeyed.

On the ground, Nicole struggled for breath, coughing uncontrollably.

Jarrod stepped forward, offering a hand to help her up.

But Nicole slapped it away, repulsed. “Don't act like you care!"

Still, Jarrod grabbed her hand, pulling her forcefully into his arms.

Nicole's face went pale, protesting, “What are you doing? “Let me go!

Jarrod seemed unperturbed, as if her scheme was expected.

Then, an unexpected visitor arrived. It was Roscoe, who had heard of Nicole's capture and fought his way in, worried for her safety.

Seeing Nicole struggling, Roscoe seemed ready to confront Jarrod, but was blocked by Alec.

Having already fought off the guards, Roscoe was no match for Alec.

"Nicole, don't worry. The police are here..."

At Roscoe's words, Jarrod's expression darkened. Roscoe and Nicole seemed quite intimate.

Nicole, witnessing Alec's aggression against Roscoe, glared at Jarrod.

“Make him stop!"

Jarrod was deeply irritated by her demand. His jealousy ignited, turning into rage as he held her tighter.

"Let me go!" Nicole continued to resist.

Then, Jarrod's anger morphed into a sinister grin, overwhelming in its intensity. He said to Roscoe, "Watch closely. See who she belongs to."

Then, with a forceful grip, Jarrod seized Nicole by the neck, pinning her against the wall, and kissed her fiercely, almost lifting her off the ground.

The kiss, aggressive and dominant, caught Nicole off guard, feeling more like a punishment than an act of affection. Her struggles were futile against his superior strength.
