4 parts Ongoing Aeni's hands trembled on the steering wheel. Her chest heaved.
Then she heard it.
Footsteps. Heavy. Purposeful.
Her door was yanked open.
Ayden.
His eyes were wild, his breathing ragged, and face twisted in anger.
Aeni shrank back, fear flickering in her eyes.
He didn't wait; he leaned in, gripping her hair, not hard enough to hurt, but hard enough to stop her from looking away.
Aeni whimpered as he pulled her out of the car, her tears streaming down her face like rain. His hand on her hair tightened as he grabbed her jaw, his fingers digging into her skin.
"Today you tested my patience, Aeni," he hissed, his breath hot against her skin. "Now be ready for the consequences."
