"Then what should I do? Should I beg that fucker?" Samuel growled angrily as he spoke with Spade over the phone. The tension was palpable in the car as Samuel's emotions ran high. I sat in the passenger seat, nervously fidgeting with the straps of my seat belt. Xavier and Amelia were following us in their car, maintaining a safe distance.

"Banish that pack!" Samuel exclaimed with frustration before abruptly ending the call, throwing his phone aimlessly across the car. His actions sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel scared of him when he displayed such intense emotions. Gathering my courage, I took deep breaths to steady myself before mustering the strength to address him.

"Samuel?" I called out tentatively, my eyes searching his face for any sign of softening. All I saw was his stoic expression, unaffected by my presence. As the wind whipped through the open windows, I absentmindedly brushed my hair back, feeling it fall back into place.

"Yes?" Samuel responded curtly, his gaze still fixed on the road ahead, refusing to meet my eyes.

"What you saw there wasn't what you're thinking," I spoke softly, my voice barely audible above the rushing wind. I reached out, attempting to hold his hand which was settled on the gear rod, seeking a connection amidst the turmoil.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" He replied coldly, swiftly removing his hand from the gear rod and placing it firmly on the steering wheel. I sighed, feeling a pang of frustration mixed with my fear. 

"I don't know exactly what you're thinking, Samuel," I admitted, my voice trembling slightly as we sped down the road. The tension in the car was palpable, and I knew I had to address it.

 "But I know you well enough to recognize that you're angry and hurt right now. And I understand why. But I want you to listen to me, to hear my side of the story." Samuel's grip tightened on the steering wheel, and his jaw clenched. His silence spoke volumes, but I couldn't let it deter me. 

"Not now, Amaris!" he said sharply, his tone laced with frustration. Taking a deep breath, I continued, desperation creeping into my voice. 

"Samuel, I believe it's better to clarify things sooner rather than later. I don't want you to misunderstand the situation. Please, just hear me out."

He didn't respond, fueling my frustration even more. The pressure was building within me, and without thinking, I unbuckled my seatbelt. In one swift motion, I reached for the emergency brake handle, bringing the car to an abrupt stop. The screeching tires echoed through the air, causing the car behind us, carrying our friends Xavier and Amelia, to honk in confusion.
