In absolute disbelief, Raegan gasped.
"Henley, have you lost your damn mind?” With a serene smile, Henley replied, "Raegan, I want to keep you by my side all the
time.
I seek nothing else here, only you.” “No!" Raegan cried out, her voice tinged with urgency.
“Henley, Tam married!" These words subtly altered Henley's usually composed expression.
A faint twitch crossed his handsome face as he responded, “Raegan, your previous marriage doesn't concern me.” ‘It's not a
previous one,” Raegan clarified.
"I've remarried Mitchel." Abruptly, Henley hit the brakes.
The sudden stop propelled Raegan forward, her head colliding with the passenger seat’s shield.
With bloodshot eyes, Henley turned to Raegan, demanding, “What did you just say?" Raegan, clutching her throbbing head,
revealed, "Henley, I remarried Mitchel yesterday.
He's bound to come looking for me.” Silence engulfed the car.
The gentleness on Henley’s face dissolved into a dark shadow.
He fixed his gaze on her, questioning, "Why?" Raegan, intimidated by his demeanor, attempted to stay composed.
"He's the father of my child.
He'll definitely come looking for me." Henley's face grew icy.
He grasped her chin abruptly, his tone bitter, "He caused you so much pain, and you lost a child.
Have you forgotten?" His grip tightened menacingly.

"I overlooked your pregnancy, thinking it was unplanned.

was unyielding, his words sharp, "Do all women relish in being so demeaned?" At that moment, Henley saw in Raegan a reflection of his crazy mother, one who, like Raegan, failed to value his affection. He had intended to treat them kindly. Why? Why did they push him to such extremes? Henley's expression momentarily faltered, twisting into something grotesque, reminiscent of a creature emerging from a grave. It was as if he mistook Raegan for someone else. His hands tightened around her neck,

"Every decision I make is for our best interests.” Raegan's eyes widened in terror. Henley was a madman! Truly deranged!

She feared he might actually follow through.
No way! She couldn't let him take her! As Henley restarted the car, Raegan suddenly clutched her stomach, crying out in pain,
"Ah! My stomach! Stop the car!" Henley glanced at her, assessing the sincerity of her plea.
“Henley, it hurts...
Am I dying?" Raegan contorted with pain on the seat.
Reaching out, she weakly clung to his sleeve, her voice soft and pleading, "Please..." Henley hesitated at her fragile tone,
