Sitting in the car, I still had some lingering fear for Liora and me.
Sitting in the passenger seat, I sincerely thanked Dylan, "Thank you, Dylan! I would’ve had a nasty fall today if it weren't for you."
Dylan softly replied, "You're welcome. It's what I should do."
I looked at Dylan incredulously and asked, "How did you know she would push me? I had no idea she was behind me."
Dylan immediately explained, "When I brought the car over, I saw her turn around and rush toward you from behind. Her footsteps were getting faster, and I had a premonition that she would make a move. Fortunately, I judged correctly and managed to catch you in time."
"I didn't even sense her coming from behind!" I exclaimed in amazement.
"She didn't come directly from behind you. In fact, you passed each other closely," Dylan clarified.
I took a deep breath, suppressing my fear.
"It seems like she never expected you to be with Mr. Atlas," Dylan continued to explain. "She approached from the outside, and you probably didn't notice her while you were on the phone.
"She had reached the entrance, saw that you didn't notice her, and turned back. So, she didn't get a chance to see Mr. Atlas at the reception."
I was a bit stunned. She had passed right in front of me, and I hadn't noticed. It seemed that I was really unaware.
Atlas instructed the driver to go to Amethyst Apartments. When we exited the car, he quietly spoke a few words to Dylan. I didn't catch it, and the car left the villa.
Back at home, he led me to the sofa and looked at me.
"Scared, huh?" He tightened his embrace, expressing his concern. "It was a close call."
Snuggled in Atlas's arms, I did feel a bit shaken and softly admitted, "I thought I was going to fall for sure."
He kissed my forehead. "I'm sorry. It's my fault."

This story would be interesting if there weren't so many garbled paragraphs. Half sentences and missed paragraphs. It's too much, give us a proper story. I'm done reading...
Atlas literally took Chloe away from Ryan Ryan needs to go back and reinforce to be able to be head-on Caz that's the only place he's lacking...
