The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

At first David was shocked to find Joey with a sharp knife in her hand, but soon he laughed indifferently, “Joey, I know you very well. You’ve been a kind-hearted girl who wouldn’t step on an ant since you were a kid. How could it be possible that you will kill anyone?”

As he spoke, he kept trying to approach Joey.

Joey’s eyes were red with anger. She ground her teeth, “David, it’s the last time I’ll ever call your name. We'll be strangers from now on. It’s clear that you don’t know me quite well. I’m warning you, if you dare take one more step, I will hurt you, because it’s rape and I’m legally allowed to kill you in self-defense. I’m not going to jail for it and your death will be a notorious one. Your parents will be despised by others too. By the way, you’re the only child in your family. I’m afraid your death will hit your parents so hard that they might commit suicide right after you die.”

David eventually hesitated and stopped, not because of what she had said, but because of the look in her eyes at the moment. It was cold, determined, unflinching and mad.

He had never seen her so overwhelming before. He was scared.

Joey didn't relax after she had scared him off.

It was a long night and the door was locked from the outside. She had to until wait the next morning when Mrs. Linderman would come over to open the door and she would finally be out of danger. She knew very well that she had to hold the knife and stay alert while watching David the whole night.

However, she soon realized there was something with her body.

Her throat was dry. Her blood was boiling. Hot and flushed, she was getting weaker and weaker.

It felt so familiar, just like…the first time when she had been drugged on her first encounter with Allen in the hotel.
