Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 909

"Damn it, Aaron, you-ah, hell..." James's head slammed into the seat, making him howl in pain.

The car came to a screeching stop, smoke billowing from the hood. But the scariest part wasn't the damage to the car-it was the sight of the driver's side, crumpled from the impact. Aaron sat there, his face growing visibly paler. He glanced at his trapped arm, then slowly closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Call 911. Don't call the police."

"What do you mean, don't call the police? Who's going to pay for my car?" James groaned, clutching his throbbing head.

"I'll pay. I've been drinking," Aaron muttered, his words earning a string of curses from James.

When Lena opened her eyes, it was 5:30 a.m. Despite having gone to bed late, she woke early, her mind unusually alert.

She stared at her surroundings, familiar yet strangely distant. It took her a few seconds to remember-she had moved back home from Aaron's place the previous night.
