Chapter 333: An Accident

Nora walked down the path with a smile on her face as she heard Isabella complaining all about her dear brother and shook her head. Isabella and Emerald Ruffalo were never going to see eye to eye, no matter how much Isabella tried to explain things to the man. Emerald Ruffalo was a narrow- minded and judgmental man. Long ago, he’d decided that Isabella was a slu* because one of her friends said so. No matter what she did, he’d refused to look at Bella without that tarnished view point.

It was why Isabella had purposely hugged that label. A challenge to her brother. If he thought that of her, then she would prove him right. Isabella had gone away for further studies, hoping against hope that she would be able to change his viewpoint but here they were. Still at the same place.

As Isabella vowed to kill the man for the nth time, Nora tried to speak again," You really need to hit him over the head. Even a small tap will probably help his brain settle back in the right place."

Isabella groaned and shook her head," I wish. Nora, you should see the men he has been trying to set me up with! Some of them are older than my father. I’m telling you, he is going to make me crazy."

"And I’m telling you, let me go talk to him. I will..."

Isabella looked at her and shook her head," No way. Do you remember the wild accusations he made last time? I’m definitely not..."

Engrossed in their conversation, the two girls failed to notice the faint hum of an approaching vehicle. The sudden, screeching sound of tires echoed through the quiet evening, as a car careened toward Isabella and Nora, one of its sides scraping against the pavement.

Nora and Isabella watched in horror as pedestrians scrambled to evade the oncoming vehicle. Panic surged through them, and instinctively, they tried to assess the best route to escape the impending danger. The chaos unfolded in a surreal haze—the shouts of others, the blaring of horns, and the high-pitched squeal of brakes merging into a disorienting cacophony.

Nora’s eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route. She could feel the rush of wind as the car drew closer, seemingly out of control. With a quick decision, she pulled Isabella towards the wall, hoping that the car, if it had lost control, would continue straight and pass them by.

As they tried to move, the car’s headlights blinded them, and the world blurred into a disconcerting mix of fear and urgency. Nora’s heart pounded in her chest, the seconds stretching into an eternity as the car hurtled toward them.

Then, just when it seemed like the car would pass by harmlessly, it abruptly veered towards them. The sudden change in trajectory sent a shock of terror through Nora. She gasped, pulling Isabella even closer to the wall, attempting to minimize the impact as she tried to think of a way to escape being crushed into the wall.

The car’s side mirror brushed against Isabella who tried to push Nora away from the car, knocking Nora off balance. The air was filled with the chilling sound of metal against concrete. Isabella stumbled, her back hitting the wall as the car scraped past them. The force of the near collision left them breathless, disoriented, and acutely aware of how narrowly they had escaped a potentially life-altering accident.

As the car finally came to a stop a few yards away, the air hung heavy with the scent of burning rubber. Nora and Isabella, still pressed against the wall, exchanged wide-eyed glances, their hearts racing. Before she could gather herself, a slew of people appeared, quickly surrounding them and the car.

Unconcerned about everything else, Isabella turned to Nora wide eyes and asked in a trembling voice," Are you alright?"

Nora nodded and stood up slowly," I think so. What just happened?"

Before either of them had a chance to even sigh, Nora’s phone started to ring. Looking at each other, the two girls hugged and almost cried. Dam* it! They’d almost turned into dust, just now.

Just then a man extended his phone to Nora and spoke sharply," Miss Nora. Mr Frost would like a word."

Confused now about a stranger approaching her, Nora took the phone with shaking hands and answered," Hello?"

She heard his wild sigh before he asked her," Are you alright, kitten? You’re not hurt?"

Hearing the trembling in his voice, Nora took a shaky breath and tried to reassure him," Yes. Yes. Demetri this... you.."

"Not now, Nora. Get into the car with this man and he’ll bring you to me. I’ll explain everything."

Nora nodded her head, even though Demetri could not see her and followed the man slowly. As they reached the car, Nora hesitated for a moment, her gaze lingering on the battered car, the front of which had been pushed into the wall.

The driver’s side had not opened and it made her wonder if the person driving the car had even survived the crash.

As the car pulled away from the scene, Nora couldn’t shake the images of the battered vehicle and the narrow gap between life and death. And somehow, she had a feeling that this had not been a simple accident of a driver losing control.

Nora leaned back and closed her eyes, trying to steady her breath and prepare herself for what could be. If Demetri had come to know about the accident and his people had come to her within a few seconds, it meant that they’d already been around... protecting her covertly.

It didn’t take rocket science to come to a conclusion. Suddenly, Nora opened her eyes and questioned the man driving the car," Where is Gabe Frost?"

She watched the man hesitate and knew she had an answer. "Nora..." Isabella’s hesitant voice sounded and it was enough to let her know that Isabella knew this.

Picking up her phone, she dialled her husband and spoke straightaway," I want to see Gabe."
