Defeated, Yolanda furiously slammed the door shut again.
Moments later, the door pulled open. Cassius slid back in, holding a small convenience store bag in one hand and her backpack in the other.
Seeing that she had stayed put, he gave an approving quirk of his eyebrow and tossed her bag onto her lap.
Yolanda snatched it angrily and twisted to yank the door open, but she was trapped.
Cassius caught her arm with lightning speed, pulling the door shut and signaling the driver to move.
As the car pulled back onto the road, Yolanda crossed her arms, fuming in utter silence.
Cassius, looking entirely too pleased with himself, lazily rummaged through the small shopping bag.
Yolanda's blood boiled. She hated how he always did whatever he wanted, blatantly ignoring everything she said.
But what infuriated her more was how effortlessly he could unravel her composure. She couldn't stay apathetic around him.
Lost in her frustration, a sweet, cooling scent suddenly wafted under her nose.
Startled, Yolanda glanced down to see a wooden spoon carrying a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream hovering right at her lips.
Before she could process it, the spoon pressed against her mouth.
She was running so hot with anger that she craved something cold, instinctively opening her mouth to take the bite.
The rich, sweet flavor melted across her tongue, instantly soothing the fiery tension in her chest.
She turned toward Cassius and saw him holding a freshly opened pint of ice cream.
Maintaining intense eye contact, he pulled the spoon from her lips, scooped another bite, and fed it to himself.
The man smirked. "There. Now we've shared a spoon from the same pint."
Yolanda was speechless.

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
