Everywhere fell silent, tension thick in the air as everyone stared at Sebastian.
His presence was commanding, and it was clear he wasn't going to tolerate any more abuse towards Victoria.
The officer's face paled, a mix of fear and confusion flickering in her eyes.
Victoria, now with a sense of triumph, stood straighter, her defiance unwavering. She knew Sebastian's arrival would change everything.
The officer hesitated, her grip loosening on Victoria as she glanced nervously at Malia, who was equally shocked by Sebastian's sudden appearance.
"You're taking her nowhere," Sebastian's voice was a low growl, barely controlled anger lacing his words.
The officer, realizing the severity of the situation, slowly let go of Victoria and stepped back, her hands trembling slightly.
