I waited behind that cold, ugly hedge near Liang Xu's mansion, my heart hammering like crazy. This was it. I saw his expensive black sports car approaching, and I forced myself to move, clutching the recording phone. When he slowed down for the massive gate to open, I darted out and slammed my hands onto the hood, forcing him to screech to a stop right in front of me.
The driver's window silently glided down, and Liang Xu's face, usually just arrogant, was now a mask of pure, terrifying fury. "You have some damn nerve, Scrub," he hissed. "Get out of the way before I ruin you completely." I stood my ground, my voice cracking but firm. "You have to stop! I'm recording! I'll tell your parents everything about the threats against my sister!"
He didn't waste time on words. He threw his car door open and lunged out, grabbing my shoulder with a violent, powerful grip. "You want to talk about ruin? I'll show you ruin!" he roared. He slammed his hand against my chest, shoving me with all his Alpha-like strength, right off the road and into the direct path of the oncoming traffic.
I screamed as I felt the asphalt under my feet disappear. As I stumbled, purely on instinct born from months of cold hatred and absolute desperation, I reached out and snagged a handful of his tailored shirt and yanked it with all the pathetic strength I had left. It was a final, desperate act to make him share my fate.
The headlights of a massive, ancient semi-truck that was barreling down the dark street filled my entire vision. There was a sickening, crushing THUD, and the world instantly exploded into blinding pain. Because I had pulled him, Liang Xu was caught in the collision as well. The sheer force of the semi hitting both of our bodies simultaneously was so immense that I heard the sound of the car horn blaring continuously as the world went silent and completely dark. We had fallen together, and that rich bastard had finally shared the destruction he had forced onto me.
