“Ah!” Leo cried out in agony, tumbling away from her. Glaring at Elizabeth, he seethed, “Bitch, how dare you play tricks on me!”
He lunged for the gun on the table, but Elizabeth was quicker.
Without a second thought, she aimed and fired at Leo.
Leo, in disbelief, clutched his stomach, struggling for words. The pain overwhelmed him, making it impossible to form words.
“You…” He pointed at Elizabeth, then collapsed.
Elizabeth gazed down at Leo with disdain, scoffing, “You thought you could control me? Absurd!”

She then turned away, her gaze landing on her ripped clothing. With a sigh, she gathered it, attempting to cover herself as best as she could.
At that moment, the doorbell echoed through the space.
Elizabeth approached the door with caution.
Outside, a security guard asked, “Miss, is everything alright? I heard a disturbance.”
Elizabeth glanced back at Leo’s motionless form, quickly adopting a guise of terror. She cowered, feigning fear.
The security guard shouted his question a few more times, but got no answer. Sensing urgency, the guard rallied additional security and forced the door open.
They were met with a heavy scent of blood and a scene that left them in shock.
They quickly dialed 911 and discovered Elizabeth huddled in a corner.
Covered in blood and wearing tattered clothing, Elizabeth’s gaze was fixed on the floor.
“Miss,” the security guard said as he cautiously approached her. “Are you alright?”
Elizabeth’s vacant stare seemed to gain a bit of clarity.

She paused before whispering to the security guard, “Help me. He…
He tried to rape me…”
The security guard responded gently, “Miss, please explain clearly.”
Frustration in her voice, Elizabeth replied, “It was Stella’s doing.
She convinced Leo to attack me. She’s been envious of me ever since I took her role and has been out to ruin me.”
The security team, moved by Elizabeth’s distressed and confused demeanor, believed her story.
Further investigation revealed that the man found bleeding in the living room was a fugitive sought after that very day, a surprising twist for those who hadn’t imagined he’d invade Elizabeth’s home.
