Chapter 253 Her Dignity

Raegan froze at Mitchel's icy demeanor.
Hesitating momentarily, Raegan reached for the door, intent on leaving.
But Mitchel halted her escape.
Mitchel's gaze, icy and penetrating, unnerved her.
"Do you really find it so hard to leave him?" he asked, a sharp edge in his voice.
"No, it's not that," Raegan replied, shaking her head.
"I just can't abandon him like this."
"People die all the time,"
Mitchel's voice was low, questioning.
"Would you care as much if he were a stranger?"
He then questioned her, "Isn't it because he’s..."
Mitchel paused, the words hanging in the air, unfinished.
The tension between them was palpable, both seeming distant despite sitting face to face.
Their expressions were troubled.
As Raegan opened the door again, determined to leave, Mitchel acted impulsively.He reached out, beginning to remove her
coat, then her sweater...
"Stop it!"
Raegan's cry was sharp, her grip on her clothes desperate.
But Mitchel was stronger.
Her sweater was gone, leaving her in a thin underdress.

Raegan, now covering herself, looked at Mitchel, fear evident in her eyes."Have you lost your mind, Mitchel?"
Despite her objections, Mitchel continued, tearing her underdress.

Raegan was left exposed, her upper body bare.
Tears filled her eyes as Raegan covered herself with trembling arms.
“Mitchel...Please, give me my clothes back..."
Mitchel's gaze, cold and calculating, swept over her, lingering on her slightly swollen belly.
The look in his eyes was unnerving, almost cruel.
Raegan felt vulnerable, exposed under his intense scrutiny as if every part of her was laid bare.
She was lost, unsure how to shield herself from his piercing gaze.
In a voice choked with tears, Raegan pleaded, "Please, give me my clothes back..."
Instead of complying, Mitchel abruptly lowered the car window and threw her clothes outside.
The lingering scent of Henley's blood on her clothes seemed to unhinge Mitchel further.
"Aren't you planning to get off the car?"

He spoke coldly.
"Have I been too lenient with you, or do you prefer being treated this way?"
Raegan's face was a mask of indifference at his words.
The man before her felt like a stranger, and her heart sank in disappointment.
In the distance, the sound of sirens filled the air as fire trucks and ambulances rushed to the scene.
Raegan felt a wave of relief at the sight.
She responded with a detached tone, "If that’s how you see me, perhaps it's time to end our agreement prematurely."
Their mutual disdain seemed reason enough to sever ties.
"End our agreement?"
Mitchel's voice was laced with a dark tone.
