“What the hell—” Raven's scream is cut off by another gunshot plus a louder bang on the car.Then another, and another.“We need to get out of here. Those men are after me. They are from a drug operation we burst recently,” Draco exclaims, igniting the car and pushing the gear into place.Raven’s heart thuds frantically in her chest, getting faster with every bullet that hits the car.“What?”“It’s part of the things I wanted to discuss with you.”Draco tears through the street, swerving sharply into a backstreet, and Raven eyes the rearview for the attacker.A black car is right on their tail, nearing them by the second.“They’re going to catch up soon,” she tells Draco fearfully.He glances at the mirror, seeing the same thing she does, and steps on the gas, going even faster.Another bullet hits the car, shattering the side mirror on the driver’s side, and Raven lets out a loud shriek.“Shit, we have to do something,” Draco growls beside her, going impossibly faster as the car twis

Like Royce instructed, Raven strips and gets into the bath, exhaling loudly as the warm water hugs her skin.She sits in there a while, soaking and allowing the water to loosen the tension in her body.It is only when the water goes cold and she starts to feel her skin wrinkle that she finally steps out, pulling the drain.She wraps herself in a large soft towel and pads to the room, her feet hitting the floors with a dull thud.She stops at the sight of a robe already laid out on the bed and walks toward it, unfurling the towel and shrugging the robe on.There is a covered tray on the bedside table and she makes her way over to it, already inhaling the aroma before she sees the food.As always, Royce is doing all the right things even while he's mad at her.During her bath, she had had time to think and came to the realization that he must be mad at her because she went off with Draco.He probably found out somehow, the same way he had known she was at the station without her calling

Draco’s eyes snap to Raven immediately he smells her and his heart thuds, pounding loudly to his own hearing. Raven has always been a ravishing beauty but tonight, she looks like a goddess, adorned with the stars and glittered by the moon.A thick lump finds its way down his throat as Raven walks further in wearing an elegant emerald dress that hugs her curves perfectly and folds around her like a glove.The colour of the dress makes her eyes shine amidst the twinkling lights of the ballroom.His roaming eyes halt as they meet hers across the room and the fiery anger or perhaps hatred in them slaps him back into reality and he looks away, guilt chipping at his yearning heart.He had run off in search of Carla the last time, and left her all alone.He cannot imagine how she must feel, but can perceive a bit of the hurt in her gaze as she glares straight at him back.He wished he didn't leave her like that, but he had no choice.He had to. Carla's life is tethered to his, so if he risked
