The stunned shock quickly wore off as the pain in her body multiplied and her arms and legs began to flail in an attempt to get free. “I asked you a question.” The woman smirked, digging her nails into Alex’s neck and increasing the throbbing pain. And I would answer you if you weren’t trying to fucking cut off my air supply. “Who are you and what are you doing in my Tobias’ flat?” “Your Tobias?” She managed to splutter, her tone incredulous. The woman’s smirk widened and her grip tightened. “Yes. My Tobias.” “Lucinda?” Tobias’ voice floated to her ears and despite the situation, Alex felt her eyelids grow heavy as they closed to enable her to better savour the sound. “Tobias.” Lucinda’s voice suddenly lost all malice and a wide smile appeared on her face. The hand at Alex’s throat tightened, before she was carelessly tossed aside as Lucinda hurried towards Tobias. Landing hard against the opposite wall, Alex cried out as pain bloomed within her. I know I’m small but still… How the hell did she manage to toss me like a rag doll?
