Chapter 5 - Someone Tried to Run Me Off the Road—And Adrian Broke Every Rule to Keep Me AliveThe attack happened after work.
I was driving home when a black sedan appeared behind me.
It followed me for six blocks.
Then accelerated.
I changed lanes.
It followed.
My heart raced.
I called Adrian.
“Where are you?”
“Driving home.”
“Don't go home.”
“What?”
“Someone is following you.”
The sedan accelerated.
I pressed the gas.
Then it slammed into my rear bumper.
My car spun.
Airbags exploded.
Glass shattered.
I couldn't breathe.
Then I heard another engine.
Adrian's SUV.
He arrived within seconds.
His men surrounded my car.
He pulled open the door.
“Nora.”
“I’m okay.”
He crouched beside me.
“Are you hurt?”
“No.”
His hands shook.
Just slightly.
I noticed.
“You're shaking.”
“No.”
“You are.”
He looked at me.
“I thought I was going to lose you.”
Neither of us spoke.
Then he pulled me into his arms.
