When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett )

I inclined my head. “I didn’t do it on purpose. Sorry about that.”

“Damn it! Do you have a death wish?” yelled the thug as he waved his baton at me menacingly. Macy and I avoided his attack. Seeing a beer bottle on a table aside, I picked it up and hurled it at him.

The other thugs were enjoying the show before Macy and I retaliated. They immediately grabbed their batons and charged at us.

Macy and I were skilled in fighting, so we weren’t taken advantage of. When the police arrived, everyone was lightly wounded. We were brought to the police station together.

After recording our statements, Macy and I had to be bailed out. We were the victims, but we had fought back in the fight.

Macy was an orphan. I was her only friend in J City. Hence, she had to rely on my connections to bail us out.
