Struggling to rise amidst her pain, Ste shouted, “Greg, please, spare me.
Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.
Just don’t touch Greg’s grin only broadened.
Feeding off Ste’s struggle, his desire grew with each of her movements.
He reached out, caressing Ste’s face with unbridled audacity.
“I just want you.
What could be more enticing than Matthew’s wife?”
“f@ck off!” Overwhelmed with disgust, Ste pushed Greg with all her might.
However, his body was like an immovable wall.
Laughing, he leaned in closer once again.
The scent of Ste seemed to invigorate him further as he inhaled deeply.
“Don’t touch me! Leave me alone!” Ste’s voice was thick with desperation, her pleas echoing louder in the pitch-dark theater.
As Greg leaned in for a ki*s, a sudden loud bang resounded, followed by brisk, steady footsteps.

She froze in shock, only to feel a warm, strong hand gently take hold of her arm.
“It’s over,” came a familiar voice, bringing a rush of emotions.
“Matthew?” Ste’s voice quivered.
The next moment, she was clinging tightly to Matthew, and her tears were flowing uncontrobly.
“When did you get back?” she managed to ask between sobs.
Matthew wrapped an arm around her waist.
“I wanted to surprise you.
It’s over now.
Stop crying.
And don’t worry.
I’ve already sent Blue me’s assistant away.
”
Gradually findingfort in his presence, Ste let out a deep, affirming sigh.
After a few moments, Ste’s attention shifted to Greg’s cries.
“Don’t let him get away this time,” she said to Matthew, clenching her jaw.
Before she could say more, a cheerful voice called out from the doorway, “Matthew, I’ve already called the police.
”
Ste’s brow furrowed in recognition of the voice, which seemed vaguely familiar.
