Chapter 26: The threat

Scarlett's POV

I sat frozen in my car. My hands were stuck to the steering wheel. I could not move them. My whole body felt like ice.

Through the front window, I watched Victor. He got out of his big black car. He did not look at me. His eyes were looking at something behind my car.

In his hand, he held a gun. It was black and scary. He walked slowly to the front of my car. He stood right near my window.

My heart beat so fast. It was like a drum in my chest. I thought he was angry about last night. I thought he came to punish me for the kiss.

I had to get out. I had to run.

I moved my shaking hand. I reached for the door handle. I pulled it.

Nothing happened.

I looked down. The little lock was down. I did not lock it. I never lock my doors when I drive.

I tried again. I pulled the handle hard.

Click.

A soft sound came from all the doors. They all locked at the same time. I did not touch the lock button. He had locked me in with some special thing in his car.

I was trapped.
