Pained by the coldness in her stare, Mitchel held her hand tighter and offered, âLet me drive you home.
â
âNo, thank you,â Raegan refused without a second thought.
When the taxi driver saw the standoff, he picked up another passenger and drove off.
Raegan was fuming.
Sadly, she was unable to break free from Mitchelâs grasp, so she eventually stopped struggling.
Mitchel mistook her calm for a sign of hope.
Though a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, he acted tough.
âDo you want me to carry you in my arms, or will you come along without a fuss?â
Raegan was too mad to say a word.
Before she could react, Mitchel had swept her up into his car and buckled her in.
However, she, quick as a flash, unbuckled the seat belt and Lunged for the door.
Mitchel had seen through her and immediately locked the door from his side.
Seething, Raegan turned to him and demanded through gritted teeth, âUnlock the door.
â
âIâll drive you home,â Mitchel insisted.
âDidnât you hear me? I said, unlock the door!â Raegan, with her patience wearing thin, took out her phone and dialed the police right there.
âRaegan!â Mitchel reached out to stop her.
He never expected she would actually call the police on him.
With his face drained of color and his voice laced with sorrow, he relented.
âFine.
But thereâs something I want to say to you first.
After that, you can do as you please.
â
Raegan just stared at him in response.
ââRaegan, I only saved Lauren that day to pay off my debt.
She once saved my life, after all.
I had no idea youâd get hurt.
If I had known, I never would have gone after her,â Mitchel explained in a hoarse voice.

Raegan remained expressionless.
She was neither sad, touched, nor angry.
âAre you done? Can I go now?â
Her words struck Mitchel like a thunderbolt, and pain radiated through his chest.
âDo you really despise me so much you canât stand seeing me?â
âWhat do you think, Mitchel?â Raegan scoffed.
âEvery time I see you, Iâm reminded of how you left me in the parking lot to save another woman and how you ignored me when I begged you to save my baby.
