Jess:
I’m shaking like a leaf, fear gripping me so tightly it’s hard to breathe. Sweat pours down my face even though the air is freezing from the heavy rain outside.
Maximus still isn’t back, and Kylie is fast asleep. For once, I’m relieved he’s not around. After our fight at the office, I don’t know what came over me. It’s like I needed to channel all my anger somewhere, and what better way than directing it at Selene?
I only meant to scare her—I swear I didn’t mean to actually run her over. But now that it’s done, guilt isn’t what I feel.
No, I feel... happy. But that happiness is laced with fear.
What if Maximus finds out I’m the one responsible for what happened to Selene? He’d never let me walk away unscathed. When it comes to her, he’s willing to do anything to protect her
