With that, he started to unbuckle his belt.

Derek quickly tossed his belt aside and moved to pin Nicole down.

Nicole fought back fiercely, attempting to kick Derek in the abdomen, but he deftly sidestepped her.

Then, he raised his hand and struck her face harshly.

"Smack!" The slap was really hard.

Nicole's mouth started bleeding, and her head spun. The slap weakened her already frail body, robbing her of any strength to resist.

Derek's filthy hands reached to tear at her clothes, causing her to feel sick, but she had nothing in her stomach to vomit.

“You'll get what's coming to you!" Nicole declared, her gaze icy and determined.

"You are so stubborn!" Derek sneered, leaning in to press her down once more.

With a fierce look in her eyes, Nicole gathered all her strength and bit down hard on Derek's ear.

“Ah! You bitch, let go!" Derek attempted to pull away, but Nicole's grip on his ear was relentless.

During the struggle, Nicole tore off a piece of Derek's ear, leaving him with a bizarre and somewhat humorous disfigurement.

“Damn it!" Derek recoiled, clutching his injured ear. The pain was intense.

Enraged, he seized Nicole by the neck, yelling, "Give me back my ear!"

That piece was still attached to the ear cartilage, and it could have been reattached if handled properly.

However, Nicole quickly tilted her head and spat that piece down the slope.

Derek could only watch in frustration as it tumbled into the water, vanishing from view.

At this, Derek's fury boiled over, and he delivered two harsh slaps to Nicole, one after another.

Yet, these slaps did little to calm his rage. Clutching Nicole's neck tightly, his eyes bloodshot, Derek screamed wildly, "You bitch, I'll kill you!"

Nicole's eyes rolled back as she struggled to breathe, feeling her chest tighten.
