âShow me your ID,â the officer replied gruffly.
The bald man looked a little impatient, but he had no choice but to fish through his pockets for his ID.
This was the perfect chance to escape!
Caleb and I exchanged knowing glances.
Then, he jumped to the back seat while I adjusted the backrest immediately.
Before the bald man could look over, I started the car and sped off.
I didnât slow down until I was sure that we werenât being followed.
Finally, I pulled to a stop on the side of the road.
âIs your hand okay? Did I hurt you?â
As soon as I parked the car, I immediately turned on the Light to check on Calebâs hand.
âIs it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?â
But now that I could see his hand under the light of the car, I found out that I had been worried over nothing.
His hand was perfectly fine.
âYou lied to me?â I slowly raised my head to look at him, dumbfounded.
Caleb smiled at me slyly.
âHey, your bite did hurt, you know.
â
No, it didnât!
âCaleb, do you think this is funny?â I questioned him angrily.
Seeing that I was pissed off with him, Caleb stopped smiling.
He cleared his throat and said, âI didnât mean to mess with you, okay? I just wanted to know if I meant anything to you.
â
Then he looked at me happily, with a tinge of pride in his eyes.
âIt turns out that you do care about me, donât you? Youâre my mate, Debra.
â
I knew that he wasnât wrong, but I refused to admit it.

How could he talk about this with me while he was engaged to another woman?
It was so ridiculous!
âCaleb, stop it.
I already have Harlan, and you already have Janiya.
â
With a straight face, I lied through my teeth.
âHarlan and I came to
Roz Town to start a new Life.
Soon, weâll mark each other and get married.
â
The second I mentioned Harlan, Calebâs expression darkened.
Truth be told, I was secretly pleased.
