Steven took a shaky breath, realizing Diana had been completely ignoring him.
Her attention was glued to her phone, her expression indifferent, as if he weren’t even there.
He reached over and snatched her phone away, his deep voice laced with suppressed irritation. “Diana, I said stop using your phone in the car. You’ll get carsick. Put it away and sit properly.”
Caught off guard, Diana blinked. “Oh… okay.”
He was about to hand the phone back when a message notification flashed across the screen.
[Diana, I found over a dozen male escorts with amazing builds. Wanna come check them out? Don’t worry. They’re not the bulky types you hate. These guys are fit, toned, and perfectly balanced. Absolute eye candy!]
Steven’s jaw tightened, his anger bubbling to the surface.
Cecil was suggesting male escorts to his wife.
He let out a slow, controlled breath, his fury barely contained. The icy look in his eyes could freeze someone on the spot.
Next to him, Diana suddenly felt a chill in the air. She glanced at

him, not understanding why he was suddenly so angry.

When their eyes met, the streetlights illuminated her delicate face, her lashes trembling lightly.
In the next moment, Steven reached out, pulling her close in one swift motion. His arm locked firmly around her waist, leaving her no room to escape.
“Steven!” Diana gasped, completely caught off guard. “What’s gotten into you? Let me go!”
Her protests were met with silence as his intense gaze bore into hers.
His handsome face was mere inches away, and the sheer masculinity radiating from him left her flustered. Her heart raced as she struggled to keep her composure.
“Tell me, Diana. What’s so great about male escorts? Are they better looking than me? Fitter than me?
“If it’s abs you like, I’ve got plenty. Want to touch them? Go ahead. If it’s a handsome face, take a good, long look. I’m not lacking in that department either.
“Or is it youth? Fine, I’ll dress however you like. Let’s see if any of those so–called escorts can hold a candle to me.”
His words spilled out one after another, his confidence palpable. But the sharp edge in his voice revealed just how furious he was.

Diana froze, her mind racing. She had a pretty good idea what might have set him off, which was Cecil’s message.
She quickly tried to calm him down. “Steven, relax! What’s wrong? What male escorts are you even talking about?”
His laugh was cold, cutting. “Oh, I’m calm. But since you’re apparently so dissatisfied you need male escorts to entertain you, I’ll make sure tonight you don’t feel the need to look elsewhere.”
Before she could respond, Steven tilted her chin up and kissed her hard, his lips dominating hers.
One hand slipped beneath the loose neckline of her top, his palm pressing against her softness.
Diana’s eyes flew wide open, a mix of shock and humiliation washing over her.
The Steven she knew was always calm and collected, but tonight, he was losing control.
His hands explored further, unapologetically bold.
The sensation under his fingers was intoxicating, something he couldn’t put into words.
Only with her did he feel this kind of connection.
His fingers moved skillfully, teasing her most sensitive spots.

Diana couldn’t help but let out a soft whimper, her body betraying her as the sensations overwhelmed her.

Completely losing control, Steven cupped the back of her head. and deepened the kiss, leaving Diana struggling to catch her breath.
She pushed against him, but he only held her tighter, his dominance absolute.
Suddenly, a blinding beam of light shot straight toward them from the front.
Steven’s reaction was instant. He leapt to his feet and threw himself over Diana, shielding her completely in his arms.
The night exploded with the terrifying sound of a violent collision.
The impact was so intense that Diana felt as if her life was hanging by a thread, teetering on the edge of oblivion.
Amidst the chaos, she heard Steven’s labored breaths and his. muffled groan of pain.
For a fleeting moment, despite the overwhelming terror, she felt an unfamiliar sense of security.
Time seemed to slow to a crawl. Her head slammed into the seatback, a sharp pain shooting through her skull.
The acrid, metallic scent of blood filled the air, thick and

nauseating. As a doctor, she recognized it immediately.
She could feel Steven’s body weakening against her, and something sharp seemed to have pierced through him.
His shallow, uneven breathing brushed past her car, but it wasn’t enough to drown out the sickening sound of bones cracking.
That sound alone shattered her composure, and tears spilled uncontrollably down her face.
“Steven!” she screamed, her voice hoarse and trembling with despair.
“Mr. Gellar! Madam! Mr. Gellar!”

Evan’s frantic voice rang out from outside, accompanied by the desperate banging on the car window.
Hearing him, Diana shouted back, her voice trembling with urgency, “Evan! Call an ambulance! Hurry! Now!”
She forced herself to snap out of the panic. Her first instinct was to save Steven.
Steven deserved to pay for his sins, but not like this.
Even if it meant trading life for life, he owed her and their child far more than just this.
Evan wasted no time and called for emergency service.

He’d followed behind their car after wrapping up his tasks and hadn’t expected to witness such a horrifying accident.
Inside the car, Steven was still holding Diana tightly, her head resting on his shoulder. The steering wheel was crushed against his legs, pinning him in place.
She could barely see his face through the shattered windshield, but what little she could see was deathly pale. He had lost
consciousness.
An unbearable weight pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe. Her tears blurred her vision as a wave of helplessness and sorrow engulfed her.
She had never wanted to owe Steven anything in this lifetime.
Moments ago, he could have jumped out of the car. But he chose. to protect her.
A bitter taste rose in her throat, and her heart ached with a mix of anger and grief. Her tears fell silently, soaking into the depths of her despair.
“Madam! Madam, hold on! The rescue team is on its way! The entire front of the car is crushed. Can you move at all?” Evan’s voice was filled with worry.
Behind him, the bodyguards had already subdued the driver of the other car.

Evan shot a cold glance at the trembling man, who immediately dropped to his knees, terrified.
Diana took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.
She reached for her handbag with trembling hands. As a doctor, she always carried essential emergency medication.
Her fingers found the pill bottle, and she carefully unscrewed it. With a deliberate calmness, she turned toward Steven, gently tilting his head to one side.
She placed the pill into his mouth, pressing his lips shut with her fingers.
“Steven,” she whispered close to his ear, her voice choked with emotion, “swallow it. If you’re going to die, it won’t be like this. Not this way.
“In our last life, you pushed me down the stairs. You killed me and our child. Two lives, Steven. Two lives you owe me. If you’re going to die, it’s to repay that debt. Nothing less.”
A tear slipped from the corner of Steven’s closed eyes, but Diana was too lost in her own grief to notice.
In the distance, the sound of sirens grew louder.
Diana quickly wiped her face, forcing her composure. Turning to Evan, she said firmly, “Get ready. Save Steven first.”
