Your Life Belongs to Me
Kaveh stepped out of the car, looking like a man facing certain death with grim determination.
Orion''s Ferrari had taken quite the hit, leaving it in a serry state. In contrast, his rugged Jeep wasn''t damaged in the slightest!
Kaveh was still trying to figure out how they had collided in the first ce.
Seeing the wreck, though, it was hard to deny he might be at fault.
Normally, he could settle these incidents with money, but the person he had crashed into was Orion. That made thingsplicated.
Orion stared at Kaveh with a cold, intimidating gaze. His voice was as chilling as his stare.
"Shall we call the police, or do you want to pay up?
Kaveh pressed his lips together. Was this even a choice?
"C-call the police," he stammered..
Orion''s eyes remained cold as he pulled out his phone.
I''ll give Officer Daniel a call."
Kaveh''splexion froze instantly. He quickly stopped him. "No! Uncle Orion! You don''t have to call anyone! I''ll pay for the damages right away." Daniel Dros was Kaveh''s father, and calling him would make the situation much worse.
Orion pocketed his phone and tossed the car keys to Kaveh.
Then fix my car. Now."
"Now?"
Kaveh held the keys and was caught in a dilemma. Should he leave or not?
Seraphina was still in his car, and they were supposed to catch a movieter.
Orion''s expression grew even colder as Kaveh appeared to be torn and undecisive.
He growled, "What are you waiting for?"
Kaveh sprang to action immediately. With a quick nce back at Seraphina, he muttered an apology and hurried off.
Seraphina watched the scene unfold in confusion. Why did Kaveh run off to Orion''s car? She remained seated, her mind swirling with questions. Orion straightened his clothes and confidently went to the driver''s side.
Seraphina eyed him. Her voice was icy.

"Mr. Dros, I believe you''re in the wrong car."
Finished
Orion masked his earlier frustration with a calm demeanor. His brow softened, and his voice took on a smooth, maic tone.
"No mistake. Kaveh insisted on fixing my car. He asked me to take you. Weren''t you going to the movies?"
Without waiting for a response, he started the engine and drove toward thergest cinema in town.
Despite knowing each other for so long, they had never done anything that normal couples did-like watching a movie. They hadn''t even done the things married couples typically do. The thought of it all made his chest tighten, an unseen thread winding around his heart, choking him with an unknown pressure.
Seraphina remained silent for a moment, staring at him as though he were a stranger,
"Mr. Dros, don''t you think this is absurd? Since when do divorced couples go out on dates?"
How ridiculous!
Orion''s expression faltered briefly, but he quickly recovered, his smile bing even more gentle.
"Why not? Divorced couples can always remarry."
His voice was cautious,ced with a suggestion that left little room for refusal.
Seraphina nced at him. Her gaze was unreadable, and her face was emotionless.
The atmosphere inside the car gradually turned colder.
Even without turning his head. Orion could feel Seraphina''s cold, detached stare.
For the first time in his life, sitting beside a woman made him ufortable-yet he embraced the difort.
A bitter, self-deprecating smile spread on his face. He had brought this on himself.
"Stop the car. Seraphina''s voice was freezing cold.
Orion''s jaw clenched, but his voice was still gentle.
"We''re not there yet."
Seraphina gave him one long, piercing look before unbuckling her seatbelt and reaching for the door handle.
The moment the cold wind rushed inside, Orion''s expression darkened.
Screeeech...
Suddenly, he braked and grabbed Seraphina by the arm as she exited the car.
The shock of the moment left a deep bitterness swelling inside him.

That crushing feeling of helplessness spread from his chest, numbing every inch of his body. An overwhelming sense of defeat weighed down every fiber of his being Even his hand, still gripping her arm, trembled slightly
Finishert
She was willing to go on a date with Kaveh, even considering sparing the dignity of the guy who asked for her number.
But with him? She would rather risk her life jumping out of a moving car than stay beside him.
The mask of gentleness finally cracked on Orion''s face is eyes clouded with pain and regret, deeper than the night itself. "Seraphina."
His voice was low and hoarse, stripped of pride and filled with despair.
Seraphina didn''t manage to jump out. She sat back down, her gaze cool and distant, staring at him, the cold night air swirling around them. Remarry? Not a chance.
She didn''t appreciate Orion''s suggestion, even as a joke
Orion''s gaze deepened, blending with the darkness around them.
His voice was calm, but there was a tinge of longing as he spoke again from behind her.
"Seraphina, I saved your life. Are you really going to act like that never happened?"
