Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 561

Chapter 561 Luther Donovan

A dagger gleamed coldly in Silas's hand, its sharp edge reflecting the dim light. Anna's heart pounded, but she forced herself to stay calm. Pointing at a nearby security camera, she said, "If you kill me, you won't get away with it."

Silas hesitated, his grip tightening around the hilt before he instinctively sheathed the dagger.

Seizing the moment, Anna turned and bolted in the opposite direction without looking back.

Now she understood why Taylor had insisted she train in self-defense and endurance. Today, that training was finally paying off.

Though she hadn't practiced in two years, her muscle memory kicked in, propelling her forward at an impressive speed.

Silas was momentarily stunned. The frail-looking girl was surprisingly fast-within seconds, she had already gained a significant lead.

He stood there, torn between chasing after her and tending to Wisteria's injury.

Wisteria, seething with rage, pressed a hand to her bleeding head and stomped her foot. "Damn it! What are you standing there for? Go after her!"

"But your injury-"

"I'm not dying! Just don't let her escape!"

"Okay."

Silas immediately took off after Anna.

She ran as fast as she could, her heartbeat growing erratic. It had been years since she last had an episode, thanks to her medication, but now the symptoms were creeping back.

Her breaths came in short gasps, her legs weakening with each step. A wave of dizziness washed over her, but she couldn't afford to slow down.

She wanted to run toward a crowd, but this was a private estate-deserted at this hour, with no sign of people or buildings in sight.

Silas was closing in.

Anna knew she couldn't afford to take chances. Just then, a black car appeared, rolling out from a nearby driveway.

This was it.

If she fell into Silas and Wisteria's hands, she was as good as dead. This might be her only shot at survival.

Without hesitation, she sprinted into the road.

The car screeched to a stop.

Anna yanked open the door and scrambled inside, paying no mind to the startled driver.
