GoodReadIn absolute disbelief, Raegan gasped.
"Henley, have you lost your damn mind?” With a serene smile, Henley replied, "Raegan, I want to keep you by my side all the
time.
I seek nothing else here, only you.” “No!" Raegan cried out, her voice tinged with urgency.
“Henley, Tam married!" These words subtly altered Henley's usually composed expression.
A faint twitch crossed his handsome face as he responded, “Raegan, your previous marriage doesn't concern me.” ‘It's not a
previous one,” Raegan clarified.
"I've remarried Mitchel." Abruptly, Henley hit the brakes.
The sudden stop propelled Raegan forward, her head colliding with the passenger seat’s shield.
With bloodshot eyes, Henley turned to Raegan, demanding, “What did you just say?" Raegan, clutching her throbbing head,
revealed, "Henley, I remarried Mitchel yesterday.
He's bound to come looking for me.” Silence engulfed the car.
The gentleness on Henley’s face dissolved into a dark shadow.
He fixed his gaze on her, questioning, "Why?" Raegan, intimidated by his demeanor, attempted to stay composed.
"He's the father of my child.
He'll definitely come looking for me." Henley's face grew icy.
He grasped her chin abruptly, his tone bitter, "He caused you so much pain, and you lost a child.
Have you forgotten?" His grip tightened menacingly.
"I overlooked your pregnancy, thinking it was unplanned.
But to remarry him?" Tears sprung from Raegan's eyes, pain evident in her expression.
Henley's grasp was unyielding, his words sharp, "Do all women relish in being so demeaned?" At that moment, Henley saw in
Raegan a reflection of his crazy mother, one who, like Raegan, failed to value his affection.
He had intended to treat them kindly.
Why? Why did they push him to such extremes? Henley's expression momentarily faltered, twisting into something grotesque,
reminiscent of a creature emerging from a grave.
It was as if he mistook Raegan for someone else.
His hands tightened around her neck, the pressure increasing.
Raegan began shaking violently, her face turning ghostly white.
reddening face, her breaths becoming faint.
He felt a horrifying rush as Raegan’s life seemed to slip away under his grip.
When his gaze met Raegan's misty eyes, he saw nothing but fear.
Those eyes that had once smiled, cared, and thanked him now reflected nothing but deep fear.
As he leaned in, her familiar scent filled his nostrils.
Abruptly, as though jolted, Henley released her.
Raegan had narrowly escaped death.
She slumped in the seat, gasping for air like a fish out of water.
Henley, momentarily lucid, looked down at Raegan and murmured, “Raegan, you've disappointed me.
Your mistake...
I won't let this child survive." He had once thought that if she chose to be with him, the baby in her belly could be left to others
after Raegan gave birth to it.
But now, resentment filled his heart..
This child could not be allowed to live.
Raegan stared at him, incredulous.
He had coldly decreed the fate of her child.
She protested desperately, "Are you insane? This is my child.
You have no right!"“I do have the right because I love you," Henley declared emotionlessly.
"Every decision I make is for our best interests.” Raegan's eyes widened in terror.
Henley was a madman! Truly deranged! Protectively, she held her abdomen, firmly stating, "Henley, you can't harm my child.
The child stays with me.” Henley replied in a chilling tone, "You'll agree.
I don't want you to remember it, and I'll ensure you forget." Raegan's complexion turned ghostly.
She feared he might actually follow through.
No way! She couldn't let him take her! As Henley restarted the car, Raegan suddenly clutched her stomach, crying out in pain,
"Ah! My stomach! Stop the car!" Henley glanced at her, assessing the sincerity of her plea.
“Henley, it hurts...
Am I dying?" Raegan contorted with pain on the seat.
Reaching out, she weakly clung to his sleeve, her voice soft and pleading, "Please..." Henley hesitated at her fragile tone,
asking, “Is it really that painful?” Raegan nodded vigorously.
bottle from the dashboard and smashed it at him.
Thud! A dull impact sounded.
Blood trickled down Henley’'s forehead.
Raegan frantically unlocked her seatbelt and struggled to open the car door.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Suddenly, her hair was yanked back fiercely.
“Ah!” Raegan screamed in agony.
Henley, bloodied, resembled a hellish demon.
“Raegan, how you've let me down!" He pressed her back on the seat, directly broke the seat belt, and tied her up.
Raegan, immobilized, defiantly declared, "Henley, I won't go with you.
You'll only get my lifeless body!" “Really?” Henley abruptly leaned forward, pressing the button to recline her car seat to the
farthest back.
Raegan was uncertain of his intentions.
“I've heard that the heart of a woman can be won by sexual intercourse.
Are you hesitant to leave him because you've been intimate with him?” he queried, climbing over the seat imposingly.
“You don't know if I'm better unless you try.” Raegan's complexion blanched.
“Don't touch me!" Henley gazed at Raegan intensely, wanting to kiss her.
His lips brushed her hair as she dodged his cold kiss.
Undeterred, he shifted to nibble at her earlobe.
Tears escaped Raegan's eyes.
“Henley, stop.
This makes me sick." The revulsion in Raegan's eyes halted Henley's breath.
The darkness in his eyes seemed to engulf him.
“Raegan, can’t you see my heart? Can you consider being with me?" His voice was laced with bitterness, humility, almost a plea.
“What can I do to win your heart?” Henley, his voice low and rough, buried his face in her neck, seeking the warmth she once
offered.
“Is it that if I listen to you, you will start to consider being with me?" The suddenness of Henley's change caught Raegan off
guard.
She opened her mouth to speak, but was blinded by a bright light in the rearview mirror.
A dark blue luxury car had silently parked behind them.
As she prepared to call for help, the sound of an engine grew louder.
The next second.
Bang! A loud sound was heard.
Their car was hit mercilessly from behind!
