Perspiration trickles down the sides of Lia Lin Ai's face and her hands drip with dampness. Lin Ai’s heart throbs as her back collides against the sturdy wall. An armoire and bookshelf confine her in a narrow space. Crouching down she hope to evade the imminent blow being thrown to no avail.

"Fucking dammit!"

Hearing the woman's boisterous cuss startles Lia Lin Ai. Scanning around for a way out, she notices a means of escape between the gal's ajar thighs. Could I squeeze through there? Well, I must try to see what happens. It is better than staying here. Lin Ai commando crawl through the gal's leg after positioning herself on all fours. The momentum Lin Ai had created came to an abrupt stop when she perceives hands seizing her ankles.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Lin Ai spoke, "What does it look like? To distance myself from you.”

A weight falls on her back. Taking a breath, she rotates her neck and sees the nude gal's knee on her back. Attempting to determine the cause, rotating her neck; Lin Ai catches sight of the nude gal's knee on her back. The woman grabs Lin Ai by the elbows and hoists her to her feet. Unable to break free of the attacker's tight grip, the room spun around her. Breaking free from the woman became difficult because her clasp was so tight. The woman grabs her hair with one hand and her chin with the other as she spun Lin Ai around. Dread and apprehensive feelings overwhelmed her as she waited for what was coming next. Warm breath tickles Lin Ai's right ear as the woman's words reverberate.

"You don't live up to what I hoped for. I had high hopes for you."

"What expectations did you have of me?" Lin Ai asks.

"Plethora, we are fighting over him! After all, it requires a distinct type of woman to be beside him."

It takes a certain type of woman that can be beside him. What are the requirements to be with him, anyway? Her words sound ridiculous. What is this lady talking about? Is she testing me or something? Lin Ai did not realize that her right arm got restrained once more.

'What are you doing? Let go!' Lin Ai demand.

Her words fell on deaf ears. The gal flung Lin Ai to the ground using a precise arm throw.

"Ugh!" she grunts.

Aching tingling sensations spread all over Lin Ai's body, especially in the regions of her spine and skull. The gal then secures Lin Ai in place by straddling her waist. After catching her breath proved difficult, she musters much strength and try to push the woman off. But she remained in a vulnerable position. Crap! I am a sitting duck with no means to escape. Why did father not give me some fighting lessons? It would be very useful right now. Metallic copper flavor floods Lin Ai's mouth as fists hit her face. Tears flow down the corners of Lin Ai's eyes. Agony is all she feels. Covering her face with her arms, Lin Ai hoped to block the barrage of punches. However, luck was not on her side and her face was in line for another blow. Resigning to the bleak fate, a string of thoughts came to mind. Why did I even come here in the first place? I should never have come. Who knows what she will do next? During the beat down, she ponders the event that occurred prior.
