A Bit Of The Truth (1)

The next morning, Victoria dressed up meticulously for work, a determined smile playing on her lips. Today, she planned to surprise her boss, Rowan, by arriving earlier than usual.

As she admired her reflection in the mirror, a sudden, vivid image of Sebastian popped into her head. His face was furious, eyes blazing with warning, and he pointed a finger at her.

"Don't you dare go close to another man," the imaginary Sebastian growled, his voice echoing in her mind.

Victoria shook her head, trying to dispel the image.

"Get a grip, Victoria," she muttered to herself, grabbing her bag and heading out the door.

As Victoria made her way to work, she hailed a cab, determined to make it to the office early and impress Rowan. The ride started smoothly, and she allowed herself a moment of satisfaction at her well-laid plans.

However, her thoughts were abruptly interrupted as the cab jolted violently, colliding with another vehicle.
