Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 516

The car didn't slow down for even a second. If Eli hadn't reacted in a split second and shoved Clara out of the way, they both would've been hit head-on.

The two cars smashed together with a sickening crash, smoke pouring out from under the hoods.

Eli was furious. He stormed toward the wreck, ready to pick a fight, but Clara grabbed his arm to stop him.

He shook her off, his voice sharp. "Since when did you get so chill?"

But Clara just pointed in Eden's direction.

Eden was still stuck in her car. She'd been speeding, and now the door was so mangled she couldn't even open it. Smoke started to fill the inside. All her earlier bravado disappeared her eyes went wide, rimmed red with panic. Blood was running down her forehead where she'd slammed into the windshield.

She pounded at the window, but she was too weak, and the glass didn't even budge.

Eli spat on the ground and let out a cold laugh. "Serves her right. Karma's a bitch. Let's get out of here she can burn for all I care. That car's gonna blow any second."

He looked at Clara, who was heading toward her own car, and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Don't tell me you're actually thinking about saving her?"

Clara just glanced at the wreck, her tone regretful. "I just hope insurance covers this. That car wasn't cheap."

Eli rolled his eyes and grabbed her wrist, pulling her toward the curb. "Come on. Just let the insurance deal with it."
