254 Chapter 254 Digging With His

Bare Hands

Blanche’s POVO

I stood in front of my car, hesitating for a few seconds. After a moment’s struggle, I clenched my jaw and forced myself into the driver’s seat.

With both hands clutching the steering wheel, my gaze grew so frosty, it felt like I could freeze the world around me.

Right then, I made up my mind.

I stomped on the gas with reckless abandon, sending my car hurtling straight toward Zain’s vehicle, not sparing a second thought about the consequences.

I gritted my teeth, squeezing my eyes shut.

Whatever happens, happens. If it costs me my life, so be it, I told myself.

No matter what might happen, at least in this moment, I wasn’t going to give myself even the slightest chance

to regret.

With that, I slammed my foot down hard on the gas pedal.

Even as the engine thundered beneath me, my mind stayed uncannily calm–so still it felt like nothing in the world could disturb me.

Zain’s POV

I had only just slipped into the driver’s seat when I saw her car charging straight at me, pedal to the metal, no hesitation.

As the gap between us quickly closed, I showed no intention of moving; I sat there like a statue.

I was betting on it–betting that she wouldn’t actually go through with it, that she’d lose her nerve at the last second, that she cared about me too much to let

anything happen to me.

With one hand on the steering wheel, I shut my eyes, bracing myself for whatever came next.

254 Chapter 254 Digging With His Bare Hands

Joanna, who hadn’t even had time to settle into the front seat, felt her whole body tense as she watched us risk it all.

“Zain!” Joanna’s terrified voice rang out, trembling and urgent.

At the sound of her cry, my eyes flew open on reflex.

As I caught sight of Blanche’s car barreling toward me faster and faster, my hands moved almost of their own accord–I wrenched the wheel aside, making way at the last possible moment.

The sharp swerve sent Joanna sprawling against the car door, her head bumping into the window with a heavy thud.

When the car finally stopped, I realized my hands were slick with sweat from gripping the steering wheel.

As soon as I heard Joanna’s pained gasp, I jolted awake and turned around quickly, my face filled with worry. “Joanna, are you alright?”

Joanna held her forehead, slowly sitting back up straight.

With a wince and a look of total confusion, she stared

at me. “Zain, what’s going on with you?”

I unbuckled my seatbelt and, without thinking, almost reached out to touch Joanna’s face, but she turned away to avoid me.

When I realized Joanna was pulling away, it was like a sharp pain stabbed through my heart, and my fingers trembled just a little.

Finally, I silently pulled my hand back.

After a brief moment where our eyes met, I spoke up, guilt written all over my face. “No, I just…”

Before I could finish, Joanna cut me off. “Zain, is it really worth risking your life just to be stubborn?”

I was full of regret, repeating softly, “I’m sorry. I promise, it won’t happen again.”

Joanna turned away from me, her gaze dropping to her own fingers. She was quiet for a few seconds before finally saying, “Zain, I think we should put the

254 Chapter 254 Digging With His Bare Hands

whole wedding thing on hold for now.”

She didn’t say she wanted to marry me, or that she didn’t–just that she wanted to slow things down a bit.

If something unexpected came up, Joanna could still choose to walk away.

But if nothing happened, maybe marrying me wouldn’t be such a bad thing after all.

I had money, looks, and power.

With a guy like me, she really had no reason to complain.

But for some reason, Joanna couldn’t help but feel that having only one man just wasn’t enough for her.

Her biggest wish was for every man to love her, to adore her, to treat her like a queen, and to fight over her endlessly.

When I heard Joanna suggest putting the wedding on hold, instead of feeling uneasy, I was filled with a deep sense of guilt.

To me, Joanna wanting to reconsider things just felt perfectly reasonable in that moment.

I didn’t pressure her for a decision. I simply replied in a gentle voice, “Yeah.”

Once we finished talking, I finally started the car and

drove away.

Blanche’s POV

When I didn’t feel the jarring crash I had braced myself for, I cracked my eyes open in surprise, breath catching as I realized I was still intact.

When I saw the road ahead was actually clear, I finally let up on the gas, my foot trembling as I tried to slow the car down.

But just as my speed began to drop, the car was already barreling toward a building, leaving me no time to react.

Panic shot through me–I slammed on the brakes with everything I had, but the car’s momentum was unstoppable. Despite my desperate attempt, the vehicle still lurched forward and slammed into the building.

A deafening crash rang out, and my vision went black -I felt like I might black out any second.

Luckily, I came out of it without a scratch.

It felt like all my organs had just been rattled around inside me.

Before I could react, I heard my phone ringing somewhere between the seats.

I leaned down and awkwardly searched for it; by the time I finally grabbed my phone, the call had already hung up.

I’d thought for sure it was Amara calling, but when I checked the screen, it turned out to be Vincent.

I was debating whether or not to call Vincent back when, before I could decide, his number flashed on the screen again.

After thinking it over for a moment, I answered the call.

Vincent’s voice burst out, tight with worry. “Why didn’t you answer the phone?”

You could hear it in his tone–he was definitely upset.

I kept my eyes on the battered little house up ahead, my tone calm as I said, “It’s nothing.”

Vincent pressed, “Where are you?”

I ignored his question completely. “Vincent, I’m hanging up. I’ve got other things to handle.”

By “other things,” what I really meant was going to find Amara.

That only made Vincent angrier–he practically shouted my full name, “Blanche, are you seriously trying to get on my nerves right now?”

I didn’t respond. I just moved to hang up on him.

But before I could hang up, Vincent’s voice cut in, trying for a tough tone. “If you don’t tell me where you are right now, I’ll have someone find your location- just wait, you’ll see how I deal with you.”

He might have tried to sound threatening, but honestly, there was zero bite behind his words.

I glanced at the little house starting to collapse, suddenly worried about my own safety.

Not wanting to risk it, I quickly told Vincent where I

was.

Just as I finished giving him the address, the little house finally gave way, collapsing in a cloud of dust and debris that rained down on the car’s hood.

Stones and bricks pelted the windshield, shattering it into a spiderweb of cracks.

I didn’t dare move a muscle, terrified that even the slightest twitch might trigger another collapse.

I stayed put in the car, barely daring to move, just waiting for Vincent to arrive.

After a while, Vincent finally pulled up in his car.

When he saw my car almost completely buried under dirt and debris, his heart sank.

Without thinking, he rushed over and started digging through the mess with his bare hands.

When he finally managed to yank the car door open, he found me sitting there, frozen and helpless, in the driver’s seat.

254 Chapter 254 Digging With His Bare Hands

The moment I saw Vincent, I lost all control–my eyes

went red and I burst into tears, unable to hold back any longer.

Seeing me like this, Vincent’s heart twisted painfully.

Without a second thought, he bent down, scooped me up in his arms, and carried me out of the car.

His hand supported me by the hips, while the other gently soothed my back in slow, comforting strokes.

As he held me, Vincent whispered softly in my ear, “It’s alright, don’t cry. I’m here now. I’m not going anywhere.”

The more Vincent tried to comfort me, the harder I cried. My whole body trembled as I choked out, “I thought I was going to die.”

But even as I sobbed, I honestly couldn’t tell if I was crying because I’d just escaped death, or because I’d witnessed Zain and Joanna about to hook up in the wild. The scene kept replaying in my head, leaving me even more lost and overwhelmed.

My heart was so full it felt like it could explode-

everything inside was too heavy, pressing down on me until I could barely breathe.

Maybe breaking down like this was exactly what I needed—a way to finally let it all out.
