"Didn't I warn you, if you ever get involved with drugs again, you'll regret ever being born?" Hale shivered at her words, a chill spreading through his entire body. The admiration he had once felt was gone, replaced by the suffocating silence that hung before death's arrival.

Hale was drenched in sweat but forced himself to appear composed.

Tonya's lip curled in disdain as she spat at him, her glare radiating contempt.
"You're pathetic. You claimed you did all those things just to see Harlee? Disgusting! Just thinking about it makessick!" Her hands rested on her hips, a sardonic smile tugging at Tonya's lips.
"And Harlee askedif I enjoy watching her torment you more, or if it's your own misery that entertains me. What right do you have to interject and say that nonsense?" With that, Tonya turned toward Harlee, her tone softening into a honeyed plea.
"Harlee, darling, why not deal him a proper blow?" Harlee's indulgent smile was faint but chilling.

Closing his eyes, Hale seethed with frustration, releasing his grip on his injured wrist. When he opened his eyes again, they burned with murderous intent, locked on Tonya.
In a sudden burst of anger, Hale lunged at Tonya, aiming to grab her collar and demand answers about the supposed drug she had used on Harlee. But before Hale could act, Harlee's boot connected with his chest, sending him sprawling. "Don't you dare lay a hand on her!" Hale lay on the floor, glaring at Harlee with defiance, unwilling to accept the reality.
"Why are you protecting her? Why are you siding with this woman against me?" Hale knew he was the one who loved her the most, the one most suited for her.
