Stephanie stormed out of the car with a dark expression, slamming the door in a burst of frustration.

The man inside the car wasn’t any happier.

Dominick glared fiercely as she crossed the street. “Stephanie…” He gritted his teeth and called out to her angrily, but she quickened her pace, completely ignoring him.

“I don’t want you to interfere…”

With a splitting headache, he leaned weakly against the car, taking a deep breath to calm himself. However, as he did so, he heard Stephanie’s shouts ahead. It only made his headache worsen, infuriating him.
