One of them reached out, and my gase hardened as I watched his hand approach. Just as I was about to retaliate, a strong hand seized the one reaching for me.


    In one swift move, the guy who had been ride to me was tossed over his shoulder and mmed onto the ground. There was a loud thod, and the surrounding crowd fell silent.


    I looked up to see Ethan''s grim expression. "Who else wants to say something stupid?"


    Ethan had been in the spotlight since he began at St. Nichs University. He was not only good-looking and wealthy but also academically sessful


    His rtionship with Leah was widely covered, so many people were familiar with him and his affluent family background.


    At that moment, most people lost interest and quickly dispersed. Maybe too much time had passed as the delivery person had already left the flowers and vanished


    Then, Ethan grabbed my wrist and rugged me toward the exit. I had no idea what he was nning, but I''d had enough of being the center of attentiontely. I really didn''t want any more drama.


    I tried to pull away and said, "Ethan, what are you doing? Let go of me!"


    He acted as though he hadn''t heard me and kept walking. He didn''t let go until we reached his car. Then, he opened the door of his Maserati and showed me inside. Immediately after he pushed me in, I reached for the door handle. However, Ethan instinctively told me, "Don''t bother trying. The doors are locked."


    With that, he drove off, and I had no clue where we were headed. The car surged forward, pushing me back into my seat as he elerated rapidly.


    I watched as he verred off the main road and onto the highway. "Where are you taking me?"This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    The sports car was pushed to its limits, and the sensation of weightlessness filled me with terror. 1 gripped the seatbelt tightly.


    "Erhan, slow down! I pleaded.


    The roar of the engine deafened me, and a natural fear gripped me. I stared at the scenery shing by, tears welling up in my eyes.


    I didn''t want to die. In my previous life, things hadn''t gone as nned. I had been in a car ident at the peak of my youth and died with regrets


    It was a miracle to begin a second chance, a chance to escape that jerk and Eve for myself. I wasn''t going to throw everything away just because of this reckless madman, Ethan.


    wiped away the tears that had escaped from theer of my eye and turned to Ethan. Through gritted teeth, I demanded, "Ethan, stop this car or we''ll both die."


    Ethan seemed provoked by my words. Finally, he nced at me and said nonchntly, "Tine Then let''s be a pair of ghost!


    I was speechless. Damn it!


    His response showed he was confident in his driving. Despite his reckless speed in the Maserati, 1 was certain he wouldn''t let us crash on this highway.


    Besides, I suddenly recalled that Ethan had been a race car driver in my previous life, which eased my fear.


    I forced myself to calm down, stopping the yelling and letting him take over. Despite my efforts, my tightly gripped hands betrayed my nervousness Ethan nced at me and suddenly rolled down the window.


    The wind whipped through the car, and heard him take a deep breath before rolling the window


    In a soft voice, he said, "Don''t be afraid. It''s okay."


    However, I ignored him.

    We drove down the way for another ten minutes before he exited and parked the car beside a pond. As soon as the car came to a stop. I pushed the door open and pot out. My stomach was in knots Trouched beside an unfamiliar nt and threw up.
