Sylvia's POV:
Just then, a loud crash reverberated across the silent road. I quickly opened my eyes and looked back. One of the cars following us tumbled down the mountain at a sharp turn.
"There... look... two more cars are left," I nervously told Rufus.
Just then, another car collided with the tree and rear-ended the third car. I rolled down the window and heard the loud roar of the engines mixed with the angry curses of the werewolves.
I turned around and looked at Rufus. He seemed calm and composed as he looked ahead, holding the steering wheel. .
The car gradually slowed down, and my racing heart finally returned to my chest.
"Are you not afraid anymore?" Rufus grinned at me.
"I didn't say I was afraid." I pouted.
"Oh, really?" Rufus chuckled. "Indeed, I was the one freaking out. Not you."
He looked at me dotingly.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the love shining in his eyes. I quickly rolled the car window down to let the cool breeze inside.
After getting rid of the other cars, Rufus quickly drove to the main road. I felt better as we were back on track. The gentle breeze kissing my skin and caressing my hair made me happy.
"Gosh, this is exciting!" I stretched my hand out of the window and looked out. The night sky looked breathtaking. The crescent moon in the starlight sky brought a smile to my face.
"Maybe it was an assassination." Rufus shrugged nonchalantly.
"Assassination?"
I was taken aback, but Rufus looked relaxed as if it didn't matter to him.
He rested his arm on the edge of the window and stroked his chin. "What can I say? I'm used to it." "How can you be used to it?" I grew anxious. "You have to be more cautious from now on. Has anyone tried assassinating you before?"
"Once, a killer disguised herself as a slave and sneaked into my room at midnight to attack me. However, I caught her red-handed, so she committed suicide."
That was when I remembered the rumor I had heard about him killing a female slave in bed. People made it seem like he was a ruthless murder. However, I finally understood the truth.
