The following day, Bruce and Millie headed back to Preagend.
Upon seeing Millie after their conversation in the grass, Bruce was still struck by lingering apprehension. Her usually gentle expression had been replaced by an uncharacteristic coldness, her face marked by a frown.
After bidding farewell to her grandmother, they climbed into the car and began the journey home.
Along the way, Millie received two phone calls from Marcus, who simply wanted to ensure she was safe.
Millie ended the calls, prompting Bruce to sigh with envy.

Millie cast her eyes downward, a pang of realization hitting her. She had never been cared for so deeply by Marcus before either.
As they drove into a mountainous area, Bruce’s instincts kicked in, sensing that something was amiss.
“Fasten your seat belt, Millie. I’m going to speed up,” he said, urgency in his voice.

Millie looked around, confused.
“What’s wrong with this part of the road?”
Could it be an ambush? A landslide?
Bruce swiftly rolled up the window.
“I just have a feeling that something’s not right. We need to get through this area quickly.”
His intuition had always served him well, and the atmosphere was indeed unsettling.
No sooner had he accelerated than two off-roaders burst from the forest on either side of the road, hot on their tail.

These people were sent by his father, and they were after Millie.
“Damn it! They’re coming after us!” he exclaimed.
Millie looked in the rearview mirror and quickly tightened her seat belt.
Bruce, however, remained composed.
“Don’t worry. They won’t catch us,” he reassured her, determination in his voice. He had promised Marcus he would keep Millie safe, and he intended to honor that promise-even against his father.
Bruce hit the gas again, putting sdistance between them and their pursuers, but the relentless chase continued.
A glance at the fuel gauge made his face tense.
