Reclaiming My Life — Episode 8

i got into kian's car he drove and i sat in the passenger seat Ethan's name popped up on my phone screen. I hung up. Pick it up. I didn't dare answer it until Kian gave me the nod.

Honey, are you nearby? I think I just saw your car. My car got into an accident. It's probably being towed back for repairs now. Oh, I see. Are you alright? Ethan let out a sigh of relief.

I'm fine. Where are you now? Want me to pick you up? I glanced at Kian, pausing for a second. It's okay, I already called a cab.

The call ended. Ian held the steering wheel and let out a soft chuckle. Very good liars, both of you. I was rendered speechless.

The car cruised along the winding mountain road. Mr. Hale, this isn't the way back to the city. He replied casually. Yeah, I have a schedule today.

I'm going dinner with some people. I was confused. Then what about me? Ian turned to look at me.

You're hitching a ride. You go wherever the ride takes you, don't you? You're having dinner with people. Why am I tagging along?

his fingers lightly tapped the steering wheel as he said if you leave it counts as a hit and run i i was forced to accompany kian to his dinner sitting right next to him my phone kept ringing continuously throughout the meal it was ethan looking for me as i stood up a few people over kian explained her husband keeps her on a tight leash now everyone turned to look at me
