"Scarlette," he murmured, his voice unnervingly calm. "Why can't you just giveanother chance? Is cheating a crime? Do you despiseso much that you won't even grantone last wish?" A chill ran down her spine. Something was wrong. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the door handle, but it wouldn't budge-locked.

Zayden leaned in, eager to claim her, but Scarlette thrashed against him, shaking her head violently. Disgusted, she instinctively cried out, "Kenji!" Zayden's face twisted with rage. He clamped a hand over her mouth, his fingers pressing hard against her skin. "Kenji doesn't care about you," he sneered. "He's probably already with someone else." Scarlette struggled, her heartbeat thundering in her ears, but he didn't stop. "We're alone, Scarlette. No one will interrupt us," he whispered, his tone dripping with malice. "You're precious and delicate, and soon, you'll be mine." His fingers curled around the fabric of her dress, tugging roughly. "After tonight, we'll be married. You'll have my child-no way out. Then, you'll be part of the Ward family. Think about it... Endless money and a perfect life awaiting me, all because of you." A cold, cruel laugh spilled from his lips as he tore at her clothes. Scarlette thrashed beneath Zayden's grip, but he was too strong. Her limbs ached, her lungs burned, and her vision blurred as desperation took hold.
Tears streamed down her face. She hoped her dad could save her. Then, a deafening crash shattered the air. The car window exploded into fragments, glass raining down like sharp ice.
Before Scarlette could react, a powerful hand shot through the broken window, seizing Zayden by the back of his neck. In one swift, merciless motion, Zayden was yanked backward.

Scarlette gasped, pressing herself against the seat, her entire body trembling.
A figure loomed in the darkness, panting heavily. Then, he bent down, his familiar gaze locking onto hers. "Scarlette," the voice rasped. "It's me." Scarlette's breath hitched. It was Kenji. Tears blurred her vision as his rugged presence filled the space around her. Before she could react, he pulled her into his arms, holding her so tightly that she could feel his racing heartbeat against her own.
Kenji wrapped her tightly in his coat, not willing to let go for even a second.
