Chapter 8: Confrontation and Control

Filip's POV

Every day without Rena was torture. I couldn't shake the image of her face from my mind, and the thought of Jason getting close to her ignited a rage within me. I wouldn't let him come between us.

I drove to the bar where Jason hung out, my determination hardening with each passing moment. As I entered, I spotted him laughing with friends, oblivious to the storm brewing. I approached, my voice low and dangerous.

"Jason," I said, glaring at him. "Stay away from Rena."

He smirked, but I could see doubt flicker in his eyes. "You think you can intimidate me?"

I leaned in, my tone icy. "If you don't back off, I'll make your life hell. Rena deserves better than you, and I won't let you hurt her."

Jason hesitated, but he tried to regain his bravado. "You think your mafia ties scare me?"

"Maybe not, but I'll do whatever it takes to protect her," I warned before walking out, adrenaline coursing through my veins.

Rena's POV

The next day at school, I felt a tension building. I couldn't ignore Filip's fierce protectiveness, but I worried about the danger it brought. When Jason sat beside me, irritation replaced his usual cockiness.

"Did you see what happened between Filip and me?" he asked.

"Yeah," I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.

"He thinks he can scare me off," Jason scoffed.

"You need to leave him alone. You don't know what you're messing with," I shot back.

He leaned closer, lowering his voice. "Just be careful. If you're not, you'll get caught in the crossfire."

I turned away, frustration bubbling inside me. I had to figure out where my heart truly belonged, knowing love and danger often danced together in the shadows.
