Her sudden grab at the wheel terrified Brian, with lightning fast reflexes, he jerked the wheel and pulled over to the side of the read.

“Jessica, are you out of your mind?” He wanted to scream at her about how she could have killed them both, but the words died in his throat. Sorbethle was seriously wrong with her.

Once the car stopped, Jessica’s sanity seemed to return. She sat there, horen and pale. Why did I grab the wheel? How could I do something so dangerous?”

“L” Brian’s anger melted when he saw how white her face had become. “Okay, if you don’t want to go back, we won’t. But can we just taker

Brian could see it clearly now. Jessica had been hysterical, on the verge of a complete breakdown

The realization hit him hard. She was so desperate to avoid going back to Atkinson Villa that she’d risked both their fives to make him stop.

Awave of fear washed over Jessica. If Brian hadn’t reacted so quickly, the accident would have happened for sure.

Jessica ignored his words completely. Brian’s brow furrowed as he bent down and pulled her into his arms.

“Let me take you back to Grant Manor to rest. We can talk about everything after you’ve had some rest, okay?” Brian softened his tone.

He’d been angry earlier and hadn’t considered that Jessica had almost been in a car accident. Now he’d been harsh with her again right when they met.

Brian didn’t agree, Instead, he said, “Starting tomorrow, I’ll drive you to and from work

“That’s not necessary” Jessica’s refusal made Brian’s face darken. Sensing Brian’s mood, she added, “I’ll have the driver take me

As long as it wasn’t Brian driving her, anything was fine.

The ride home was silent. When Brian brought Jessica back, Stella was shocked and immediately demanded to know what happened.

Stella wasn’t easily fooled. The more Jessica tried to hide it, the more determined Stella became to get the truth.

Before Jessica could speak, Brian cut in and told Stella that Jessica had crashed into a guardrail.

“if that guardrail hadn’t been there, who knows what state Jessica would be in right now,” Brian added grimly.

Stella gasped and immediately called Dereck, who was out, chewing him out over the phone until he agreed to come home.

Jessica shot Brian a cold glare before turping to comfort Stella. “Mom, I’m fine. It was just an accident. I’ll have a driver take me to and from work from now on. Really, it’s nothing.”
