Miles's voice cut through the tense air, low and deadly calm."What do you think you're trying to do?"
His cold eyes locked with Curtis's, unblinking, terrifying in their stillness. His hand remained clenched around Curtis's wrist like iron, unmoved, unshaken.
Curtis felt the pressure radiating through every nerve in his arm—but ego flared for one last desperate moment. He tried to swing with his free hand—
But he never got the chance.
In a blink, Curtis was on the ground.The entire bank lobby seemed to jolt with the impact. Curtis let out a strangled cry of pain, clutching his ribs, breath knocked clean out of him. Eyes wide in humiliation and terror.
Miles stood over him. Cold. Calm. Unapologetic.
"If you ever try to take advantage of anyone again," Miles said, his voice like a knife through glass, "I'll make sure you never stand up again."
