Just as Leticia was about to ignite the car with her lighter, a beam of headlights suddenly illuminated them. Her bodyguard reacted instantly, stepping forward to protect her. "Miss! Someone''sing! We need to go, now!"


    Leticia''s face twisted with anger as she tried to throw the lighter. "Let me finish her! Let go of me!"


    "If anyone finds out, it''s game over. Your father specifically ordered us to keep you safe, no matter what!"

    The Gibbs family bodyguard quickly pulled Leticia into their car, speeding away as the other car began to burn.


    "Sophie!"


    "Colby, watch out! The car''s on fire!"


    Inside, Sophie coughed violently as thick smoke filled her lungs. She could vaguely hear William and Colby''s voices.


    Barely conscious, Sophie opened her eyes and saw Colby outside the car window, desperately pounding on it, trying to break the ss. "Colby..."


    Sophie struggled to move her hand, attempting to open the car door, but the impact had deformed it, making it impossible to budge. "Colby... leave, hurry!"


    The front of the car was aze, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded, threatening both their lives:-


    "Stop talking! Inhaling too much smoke can kill you. Trust me, it''ll be okay soon!"


    Ignoring his own safety, Colby smashed the window. The ss shattered, and he reached in to unlock the door, pulling it open with all his strength.


    William quickly jumped in to help. Colby lifted Sophie out of the car, and William assisted. Noticing the fire spreading rapidly inside the car, William shouted, "Colby! Run!"


    In a split second, the car exploded, sending mes skyward.


    Colby shielded Sophie with his body, while William managed to escape unscathed.


    Sophie gasped for air, the intense pain in her thigh bringing her back to reality. She anxiously watched Colby, who had protected her. "Colby! Who sent you? Do you know how dangerous this is? What would I do if you died!"


    Tears streamed down her face as she pounded on Colby''s shoulders. He held her tighter, terrified that if he had been a moment slower, she would have been lost to him forever.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    "It''s okay. Don''t be scared. I''m here," Colby said, gently stroking her back.


    Sophie''s thigh was bruised, her body covered in cuts and bruises. Colby wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I''m getting you out of here."
