Emmeline was seconds from

hitting her head on the ground and cracking her skull open.

“Oh, no!” Closing her eyes,

Emmeline let out a scream of despair.

Nevertheless, a pair of strong arms caught her fall, stopping her from plunging to the cold, hard floor.

Someone caught her in the nick of time!

“Ah! Ah!”

Clinging to her lifesaver’s neck, Emmeline curled up in the

person’s embrace. She could not bring herself to lift her head.

“You’re okay, girl.”

A deep and husky voice lingered in her ear.

The voice…

Emmeline abruptly lifted her chin and met the gaze of…

Abel!

She looked up with widened eyes as she stared blankly at the man.

‘A…bel?”

“That’s me. Are you scared silly, girl?”

Abel looked tenderly at Emmeline

with a smile, affectionate and doting.

“What are you doing here?”

Emmeline finally got a grip on

herself.

“Thank goodness I was here. Otherwise, it will be like Humpty Dumpty has a great fall, and you’ll lose your front teeth.” Abel curled his lips.

God knew she nearly wet her pants.

She felt safe the moment she realized she was in Abel’s arms.

“Didn’t I tell you that it’s a dangerous job? You wouldn’t

listen. Are you going to take my advice now?”

“But you forget that I haven’t checked on Mateo’s landscaping. How am I supposed to pay him?” Abel had come up with a plan.

“Huh?” Emmeline looked at him, finding his excuse weak but with

She nodded her head. “Alright. I won’t take my bike. I can’t feel my legs.”

That was more like it.

Abel smiled.

Still, he made no comment.

Out of the filming studio, the pair got into Abel’s Rolls Royce.

It was mostly quiet throughout the journey.

However, the mood was calm.

Abel’s timely presence not only saved Emmeline’s life but also brought them closer together.

Since there was traffic up ahead, Abel slowed the car down.

He reached out and held Emmeline’s cold hand.

Startled, Emmeline tried to pull

away.

Abel clutched tightly to her hand.

“Ow! You’re hurting me.” Emmeline cried in pain.

Adrian suddenly released her.

His accidental use of force broke the spell of romance.
