"No! Let go of me, you bastard!" Regina struggled fiercely. But in a moment of carelessness, she was knocked to the ground. Her head slammed into a cardboard box, and the sharp pain snapped her to full awareness.
She looked up just in tto see the homeless man stripping off his clothes, closing in on her. Her legs shook uncontrollably, and her scream turned high-pitched.
"Get off me, get off!" "Just lethave sfun." The homeless man lunged at her like a starving predator.

"As long as your reputation is ruined, you'll never marry Cole. He'll be mine!" Regina's eyes widened in terror as her jacket was ripped off.
A surge of adrenaline coursed through her. With strength she didn't know she had, she pushed the homeless man off. Grabbing a broom from the corner, she swung it hard at his head.
The man yelped, stumbling to the side.
Regina scrambled to her feet, her legs weak and unsteady. She stumbled out of the alley, desperate to escape. "Move, damn it!" If she didn't leave now, she was as good as dead! In a fit of frustration, she punched the wall, using the pain to snap herself awake. She forced her legs to carry her faster toward the main road.
The cameraman tried to keep up, but Sarah's voice cthrough the earpiece, livid.
"She's getting away! This woman's a disaster. Shut off the camera now!" "But we were supposed to record her..." "What's the point of recording if she's already gone?! Turn off the camera. I have other ways to deal with her." The cameraman, silently obeying, switched off the camera. Regina had already reached the main road, her frantic footsteps echoing in the alley.
Suddenly, headlights blazed, and the sound of tires screeching on the asphalt filled the air.
A horrified gasp went up from the onlookers. Frozen, the cameraman watched as blood spread across the road beneath the car. Regina, her eyes wide and bloodshot, seemed to be staring directly at him from the alleyway. The earpiece crackled with Sarah's cold laugh. "Remember, you didn't see anything tonight. Regina's accident was a complete and utter accident." The voice cut off abruptly.

The cameraman's camera shattered as it hit the ground. He opened his mouth to scream but froze when he ve saw the homeless man getting back up. By the tthe bar's staff crushing out, the cameraman was already fleeing. Hurting someone and killing someone were two very different things.
Serena was jolted awake by the blaring sound of her phone ringing. She groggily sat up. And as soon as she answered, she heard Hugh's serious voice on the other end.
"Regina's in a car accident, and Grandpa's in the hospital. We might need to go back to the Larson residence." "What?" Serena instantly snapped awake, throwing on sclothes and rushing out.
She opened the door just as Hugh was stepping out of his room, fully dressed. Their eyes met.
Hugh explained, "Four hours ago, Regina had a car accident and was rushed to the hospital. The doctor says her legs might not be able to be saved. Cole didn't even look at her. "He went straight to the Larson residence to talk to Grandpa about breaking off the engagement, and it made Grandpa so upset that he ended up in the hospital."
Serena stared at him in disbelief.
"That was his fiancée! He didn't even look at her and is already talking about breaking off the engagement? He doesn't have a heart!"
