Will you marry me again?

"Give that to me!" Erica snapped, lunging for the phone in desperation. But he was faster. He shoved her away with a calculated force that sent her reeling backward. Her head struck the window with a dull thud.

"Ah," she cried out in pain, clutching her head as tears welled in her eyes.

"Stop the car!" he barked out a sharp command to the driver.

The car screeched to a halt, and the door slid open with a sharp clatter. Before Erica could react, he shoved her out of the car with a ruthless shove. She landed hard on the rough asphalt, the impact jolting through her body. Pain shot up her arms as her palms scraped against the gritty surface, leaving angry red marks behind.

Erica's body trembled with a mix of fury and humiliation. She whipped her head around and pinned a glare at him, words of defiance bubbled on her lips. But before she could release them, his cold voice cut through the air.
