But within seconds, someone grabbed my collar.
A chilling voice whispered in my ear, "You think you can run after offending me?"
Inside the villa, my face was streaked with tears and snot.
Emilio sat calmly on the sofa in front of me.
"Where's Tia?" I asked.
He sneered, "You still have the energy to worry about others?"
With a burst of courage, I gritted my teeth and said, "I'm going to die anyway, so if you have a problem, take it out on me. Don't hurt innocent people."
Emilio suddenly laughed, leaning in close. "Alright, you've got guts.
"Take her away."
I was shocked.
The Best Actor, with no pity whatsoever, was going to have me dragged out.
Two burly bodyguards approached.
I immediately clung to his leg.
I pleaded, "Mr. Warren, I'm sorry.
"I didn't mean to pull down your pants. Please, for the sake of us being in the same movie, forgive me!"
Emilio's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth.
He snapped, "You have the nerve to mention that? You did it and tried to run?"
I cried, sniffling, "I was scared! If I didn't run, would you have forgiven me?"
He almost laughed in anger. "You're quite the idiot, aren't you?"
I said, "How about I publicly apologize or compensate you for emotional distress?
