Chapter 263

The cold glint of the axe blade froze Nicole's blood in her veins.

She watched in horror as the sharp blade grazed her arm and embedded deep into the mattress. Cold sweat drenched her back. Her legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Aaaah—"

After the scream, Nicole realized with mortification that she'd wet herself. Warm liquid trickled down her thighs. Humiliation burned through her, but her body had betrayed her.

"Film this! Get all of it!" Bianca's friends excitedly raised their phones. Camera flashes lit up the room like strobe lights.

Nicole curled into a ball, desperate to hide her disgrace. But two burly women pinned her wrists down, rendering her helpless.

"You slut!" Bianca yanked her hair. "Daring to seduce my husband?"

"I didn't!" Tears streamed down Nicole's face. "I was framed! Director Zachary can vouch for me!"

She turned pleading eyes toward the cowering director, only to hear him disavow her immediately. "You drugged me! I was drunk and remember nothing!"

Nicole shook with rage. This old man had been whispering sweet nothings moments ago, yet now threw her under the bus.

Slap!

Bianca's palm struck hard. Blood seeped from Nicole's split lip.

"Playing innocent now?" Bianca sneered. "After all that moaning earlier?"

The women descended like vultures, nails carving bloody trails across Nicole's skin. She covered her face and wailed, "Please don't hit my face! I admit I was wrong!"

"Wrong?" Bianca grabbed a crystal ashtray. "Let me teach you what wrong really means."

Crash!

White-hot pain exploded through Nicole's jaw. A tooth flew from her mouth with a spray of blood. Curled into a fetal position, she sobbed uncontrollably, tears and snot smearing her ruined face.

"Wait!" someone gasped. "Isn't that Nicole Capra? The actress?"

The assault paused as they examined her swollen, distorted features.

"It's really her! Andrew Lucas's fiancée!"

Malicious glee flashed in Bianca's eyes. "Post the video online. Let the world see their 'Pure Goddess' for what she really is."

Nicole squeezed her eyes shut. She knew—her life was over.
