?Chapter 448:
Elliana’s finger cut through the air toward the figure emerging from the offending vehicle. “Take a good look. It’s your fiancé, An.”
Time suspended itself as Adah processed this revtion and then slowly rotated to confirm the impossible. “The universe certainly enjoys its cruel jokes.”
At this moment, An had already walked up to their vehicles, his knuckles rapping against the driver’s window with deceptive politeness.
Terror of recognition seized Elliana’s throat. She tore away her wig with desperate fingers, allowing her natural hair to cascade like a waterfall while a wide-brimmed hat swallowed her features in shadow. Only after Ellianapleted her transformation did Adah emerge from their car.
An retreated two calcted steps, granting her space with gentlemanly courtesy.
Adah stepped into the afternoon light, her wavy locks catching fire in the sunshine as she fixed An with a withering stare. “Sir, how does one manage to destroy another vehicle on a road this expansive? Did alcohol cloud your judgment behind the wheel?”
An’s gaze devoured her like a starving man encountering a feast. She zed with otherworldly beauty. Her featuresmanded attention with their sculptural perfection, and even her hands possessed an elegance that bordered on artistic masterpiece. When she swept those raven waves from her shoulders, her crimson-painted fingernails caught the light like drops of fresh blood, mesmerizing in their vivid intensity. Women like her set his soul aze—brilliant, fearless, and burning with the intensity of captured lightning.
“Forgiveness, please—you escaped my noticepletely,” An offered, his apology wrapped in silk. “Your ent suggests Ublento origins, am I correct?”
Adah’sugh carried the sharpness of shattered ss. “Sir, trying to buddy up won’t work. Shared geography means nothing when you’ve rear-ended my car. You bearplete responsibility for this collision and must providepensation ordingly. That’s fair, isn’t it?”
Something lifted from An’s chest—a weight that had pressed against his ribs for countless days suddenly evaporated. This woman wielded beauty like a weapon while speaking with the directness of a de thrust. Her personality ignited something primal within him.

“Yes, it’s fair,” he replied. He produced his phone with a theatrical flourish and extended it toward Adah. “Your contact information would expedite the damage assessment process. Once professionals calcte the costs, I’ll transfer the money to you instantly.”
Adah curled her lips mockingly. Men had pursued her contact information through every conceivable deception since her beauty had first bloomed. An’s transparent trick held all the subtlety of a charging rhinoceros. He would taste nothing but disappointment today. “Absolutely unnecessary,” she dered with finality.
Her heels clicked against the asphalt like gunshots as she approached her vehicle’s wounded rear, examining the destruction with professional assessment before wheeling back toward An. “Seven hundred thousand dors.”
Before An could react, her hand had already imed his wristwatch like a conquering general seizing enemy territory. “This timepiece will serve as perfectpensation. Its million-dor value exceeds my car’s damage by exactly three hundred thousand—consider that premium payment for the inconvenience you’ve inflicted upon my day.”
