Chapter 90

I was in pain. I winced, my brows tightly furrowed. Darren's fists clenched at his sides, his entire body radiating murderous intent. His knuckles cracked as he snarled, "If you dare lay hurt her, I swear I'll skin you alive and make you beg for death." Cara stiffened for a moment. Her voice rose, likely to mask her fear. "Move aside!" They continued dragging me toward Darren, slowly but surely. Darren's eyes burned with fury, and he signaled for the bodyguards to step back. When we reached the elevator, Cara shoved me in roughly. I fell hard to the floor, the world spinning as my head collided with the metal railing inside. I gritted my teeth through the pain. Cara's once calm demeanor had completely unraveled. Her facial features twisted, her eyes wild with madness. What kind of person had I saved? My fingers trembled as a wave of regret washed over me. The elevator quickly reached the underground parking lot. A cold wind swept through the dimly lit space, making me shiver.
