“Don’t worry. Leave it to me, okay?” Rufus reached out one hand and squeezed my palm reassuringly. “I will arrange my men to find the evidence. Don’t worry. I will always be there for you and support you. Trust me.”
My cheeks grew hot, so I withdrew my hand shyly. “Focus on driving now. Do what you think is right. I trust your decision.”
Rufus seemed pleased with my answer. He let go of my hand and concentrated on driving the car.
Just then, his brows narrowed. He glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “Sit tight. Time to speed up.”
I also looked at the rearview mirror and saw a black car following us.
Sylvia’s POV
I quickly sat straight nervously. “God! Why are they following us? Who are they?”
Rufus pursed his lips and drove calmly as if he were used to such things. “Don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine.”
Rufus hit the accelerator and drove at full speed. The black car behind continued to follow us. My palms grew sweaty.
The beautiful scenery that I had been admiring all along turned into a hazy blur. Rufus drove at lightning speed. I gripped the seatbelt for dear life. For a moment, I thought the car would fly in the air.
“Relax, Sylvia. I won’t let anything bad happen to you,” Rufus said, glancing at me.
However, nothing reached my ears. My heart leaped to my throat when I saw the car was about to collide with the iron railing ahead. “Watch out!” I squealed.
Rufus quickly turned the steering wheel, and our car drifted to an unexpected turn, leaving the black car far behind.
I took a deep breath and looked back. The black car had turned into a speck. “Did we finally get rid of them?”
Rufus glanced at the rearview mirror and stepped hard on the accelerator.
It was dusk. The rays of the setting sun cast a golden hue on our car. The entire stretch of land was soaked in the luxurious light, but I was not in the mood to appreciate the magnificent scenery. My heart was still hanging in my throat.
The wide road broke into two lanes. The sky turned dark as the sun sank into the horizon. Just as we were about to enter the urban area, I saw two cars parked in the middle of the road, blocking the path.
“Slow down, Rufus! Someone has set a row of spikes on the ground!” I shouted nervously. They were arranged in a manner where driving one step forward could puncture our tires.
Rufus’ jaw tightened as he slowed down the car.
I glanced at the rearview mirror as my heart continued to crash in my chest. I saw a black speck that seemed to grow bigger with time. Panic wracked my nerves as I saw the black car catch up with us again.
I didn’t know how many werewolves were there in these three cars. But I knew we were definitely outnumbered, and defeating them wouldn’t be an easy task.
I tried my best to calm down and stop myself from screaming. I couldn’t cause any trouble to Rufus.
Rufus also noticed the black car behind us. Without hesitation, he pivoted the car to the mountain road nearby.
The roads were narrow and curvy. My body jerked back and forth as we traversed the bumpy terrain. I clutched the groove beside the car door. I was so terrified that I could barely breathe.
The darkness only seemed to worsen everything. The pitch-black road ahead frightened me. We were driving across the rocky mountain path. I was afraid we might encounter an accident.
I looked at Rufus and wanted to ask him to slow down.
However, he looked eerily calm. There was not a trace of fear or worry on his face.
As if noticing my concern, Rufus smiled, his eyes focused on the road. “Don’t worry. I’m familiar with this area.”
“I’m not afraid. I trust you.” I tried to control myself from screaming.
“I know you are afraid. Close your eyes then. That will help,” Rufus said softly. Then, he increased the speed of the car.
I nodded and squeezed my eyes shut. It felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride. My heart was about to leap out of my throat. He finally stepped on the gas, and the car skidded to a halt. I felt like I might go straight to heaven if I opened my eyes.
“It… it’s fine. I’m not afraid! I trust you, Rufus!” I stammered. If worse came to worst, we could die together.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a soft chuckle, which frustrated me.
‘Damn it! How could he remain calm even now?’
Sylvia’s POV
Just then, a loud crash reverberated across the silent road. I quickly opened my eyes and looked back. One of the cars following us tumbled down the mountain at a sharp turn.
“There… look… two more cars are left,” I nervously told Rufus.
Just then, another car collided with the tree and rear-ended the third car. I rolled down the window and heard the loud roar of the engines mixed with the angry curses of the werewolves.
I turned around and looked at Rufus. He seemed calm and composed as he looked ahead, holding the steering wheel. .
The car gradually slowed down, and my racing heart finally returned to my chest.
“Are you not afraid anymore?” Rufus grinned at me.
“I didn’t say I was afraid.” I pouted.
“Oh, really?” Rufus chuckled. “Indeed, I was the one freaking out. Not you.”
He looked at me dotingly.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the love shining in his eyes. I quickly rolled the car window down to let the cool breeze inside.
After getting rid of the other cars, Rufus quickly drove to the main road. I felt better as we were back on track. The gentle breeze kissing my skin and caressing my hair made me happy.
“Gosh, this is exciting!” I stretched my hand out of the window and looked out. The night sky looked breathtaking. The crescent moon in the starlight sky brought a smile to my face.
“Do you want to try something more exciting?” Rufus smiled and opened the roof, turning the car into a convertible.
The cold wind made me shiver. The chilly weather increased my excitement.
