SWNOVELS Chapter 80
Brianna's gaze swept across the dingy motel parking lot near the college.
Satisfied that no one could identify her, she approached a familiar room and knocked. The door whipped open, and a hand yanked her inside. The room was shrouded in darkness. Jenson pinned her against the wall, his touch and kisses hot on her skin.
But then, something cold and sharp met his neck-the tip of Brianna's fruit knife.
Jenson slowly released her, his smile chilling. "Would you really use that on me?"
"Jenson, I didn't want this, but you left me no choice!" Brianna didn't mince her words. "Take out your phone. Delete those videos and photos. Now!" "And if I don't?" Jenson replied calmly.
Brianna gritted her teeth. "Jenson, please. We had good times, but it's over. I've found someone better. Can't you just let me go? Stop clinging to me like duct tape."
"Duct tape? Brianna, you used to love how I clung to you. You swore you'd stay with me through thick and thin, forever! Did you forget so easily?"
"I didn't! But I deserve a choice! Jenson, we'd been together so long; you can't even offer a decent roof over our heads, yet you talk about forever? "William can give me everything you can't. I want a better life, and there's nothing wrong with that!"
Jenson's laugh was brittle. "So, in the end, I'm nothing to you."
"That's right! You were just a distraction!" Brianna's agitation flared. She pressed the knife harder, slicing Jenson's neck.
Blood trickled down, but Brianna merely paused briefly, her face a mask of cold determination.
"Brianna, remember what you said today!" Jenson's fingers flew across his phone, deleting two photos.
"Is there anything else?"
"Just those two." Jenson's expression turned cold.
Still unconvinced, Brianna took the phone and checked it. After she found nothing else, she tossed it onto the table. "Jenson, let's end this with some dignity. Don't force me to lose all respect for you."
She whirled around and strode toward the door. Just as her fingers brushed the handle, Jenson's voice sliced through the air, chilling her to the bone.

"Consider this a parting gift, Brianna. I hope you appreciate it."
His sinister smirk sent a shiver down her spine. Fearful of what he might do, Brianna fled the motel without a backward glance.
As she burst through the doors, she collided with William.
Brianna was caught off guard, but she plastered on a strained smile. "William? What are you doing here?"
William had been checking his phone when she'd bumped into him. The screen went dark when Brianna approached.
He asked, "I was going to ask you the same thing. What brings you here?"
"I..." Brianna hesitated, her mind scrambling.
She finally came up with an excuse "I think I saw Tiffany come in here with some guy. I was worried she might get herself into trouble

William's frown deepened, a flicker of doubt crossing his face. "Tiffany?"
"Remember the guy from the library? I just saw Tiffany go in with that same guy. He gave me a bad vibe, and I know Tiffany can be a bit naive sometimes. I just wanted to make sure she was alright."
