I searched through the numerous green dresses. A few of them seemed interesting, though one of them was too short, the other one had some patterns I disliked, and the last one was too exposed—a high slit, and a low cleavage with an open back.
Then, from the corner of my eye, I saw a long emerald-green dress, just like Tiana had suggested. I took it over to the closest mirror, cocked my head to the side as I held it against my body, and decided instantly it was the right one for me.
The cleavage was V-shaped and ended between my breasts. However, it was off shoulder with long sleeves, and the slit on the left leg wasn’t too big, so it wasn’t overly revealing. With a smile, I returned to the dressing room and put on the clothes I’d come in with.
“Could I have this shipped to this address?” I asked the receptionist, whilst writing down Davorin’s address on a piece of paper.
“Of course. I’m glad you’ve found something you like,” she responded with a smile.
With a small nod, I thanked the woman and didn’t miss the sigh of relief that came from Tiana as we left the shop. As if on cue, her stomach made another ugly noise and I decided to treat her to a late lunch.
I didn’t eat, as I wasn’t hungry. The whole conversation earlier Aleksei had drained me of energy, and my appetite was nonexistent. I had a glass of very bad whiskey while Tiana devoured her food. It took her less than ten minutes.
After that, I drove her home and mentally prepared myself for the two-hour ride I had to take to Davorin’s house.
My phone buzzed, and I connected it with the Bluetooth in my car. Davorin’s name flashed on the screen as I took a left turn.
“Well if it isn’t my soon-to-be husband, the apple of my eye,” I greeted him dryly.
A low chuckle came from the other end of the line. “Hello to you too. When are you getting home? There’s something serious we need to discuss.”
I glanced at the side mirror, my eyes narrowing. My gaze snapped to the rearview mirror and I chuckled. “Shouldn’t you ask your goons that? They’re right behind me, Davorin.”
He was silent for a moment. “What?”
“I mean the SUVs that are right behind me. They are people you hired, right?”
He took a sharp intake of breath. “Where are you, Kaya? Exact location.”
I told him, realizing that whoever those men were, they weren’t his—or Aleksei’s. They were closing the distance between us at a rapid speed. My chest tightened, as I swallowed harshly.
“Listen to me.” Davorin’s stern voice brought me out of the daze. “There is a big possibility of them catching up with you. Don’t hang up the phone, and drive faster, Kaya.”
I heard the door of his car slam shut and the engine roar to life. He was on his way to meet me halfway, and my heart fluttered at the worry that seemed to lace his tone.
I pressed the gas pedal with all the strength I could. Excitement rushed through my body, and I could feel adrenaline pumping. I’d always been an adrenaline junkie, and this was one of the best thing that had happened in recent days.
“Uh, they’re getting really close to me, Davorin,” I told him as the cars split up. Two of them were closing on my sides, while the one behind me was trying to hit me, to push me off the road.
“How many cars are on the highway?”
“We passed maybe four in total.”
“Do you have any weapons on you?”
I used one hand to open the glove department. “A gun and a knife.”
Davorin hissed under his breath. “Fuck, okay, listen, I’m almost there, keep driving ahead, do not take any turns and for the love of God, do not make the first move.”
It was too late. By the time he’d finished speaking, I’d already rolled down my window and slid my right arm out. The call disconnected soon after. I used the side mirror as a guide, and aimed for the left tire of the car behind me. I missed the first time, but my second shot was successful.
The driver lost control of the vehicle, and the car spun around and came to a stop. I rolled the window back up when I heard gunshots. The bastards on my sides were trying to shoot me, not my car.
The window smashed, and it was a miracle the bullet didn’t hit me.
Then it was me who lost control of my vehicle. The speed was too great for me to handle, and the car on the left slowed down, whilst the one on the right came crashing into the passenger side.
I screamed as he managed to push me off the road, yet somehow, I felt at peace.
