Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1463

Lowell didn’t dare hesitate, yanking the steering wheel hard. The car veered off the main road and onto a narrow lane.

Tarquin spoke again. “Go to the end, turn around, and stop!”

Lowell did as he was told. When he reached the end, he spun the car around and slammed on the brakes, bringing it to a steady halt.

Directly ahead, three cars that had been tailing them pulled up, their high beams blindingly bright as they blocked the entrance to the lane. They had been on their tail since they left the Bradford family estate, boxing them in, trying to ram their car. That's why he wasn't home yet, even though it should have been after ten.

Tarquin knew Elysia wanted him home by midnight, and he was anxious to get back to his wife. After playing cat and mouse with them on the road for over an hour, his patience had run out.

“Get out!”

Tarquin ordered Lowell as he pushed his own door open and stepped out. Lowell scrambled out of the driver’s side and followed. Seeing Tarquin get into the driver’s seat, Lowell quickly circled around to the passenger side and jumped in.

“Seatbelt.”

After the sharp reminder, Tarquin shifted into gear and slammed the gas pedal to the floor. The car shot forward like a bullet. The black luxury sedan roared to life, hurtling toward the cars ahead. Even as they were about to collide, Tarquin didn’t slow down.

Lowell, terrified, gripped the handle, swallowing nervously. Tarquin’s brow was furrowed, his eyes fixed ahead, resolute, with no intention of stopping.

The other driver, seeing he was serious, tried to back off. Tarquin gave them no chance, ramming straight into them.

The impact sent the other car flying several feet, rolling over a few times before it came to a dead stop. The remaining two cars tried to flee, but their escape was blocked by the wrecked vehicle.
