Rashdaan's fingers clamped onto my arm like a vice, his grip crushing my delicate skin. I winced, my eyes widening in agony as I tried to wriggle free. My face contorted, a mixture of fear, pleading, and excruciating pain.
My arm throbbed beneath his grasp, the pressure sending shockwaves of anguish through my entire body. My skin felt like it was on fire, the pain searing and relentless.
"How dare you deceive me?" His voice was icy, deadly, each word dripping with venom. I shrank back, my heart racing with terror.
"I did not!!" I protested, my voice barely audible, trembling with fear and pain. Rashdaan's gaze bore into mine, his eyes flashing with accusation.
His jaw clenched, the muscles in his face twitching. "Then why did we follow a false trail? You're behind this, aren't you?" His words cut like a knife, each one a razor-sharp accusation that felt like a fresh blow.
Mark intervened, desperation creeping into his voice. "Rashdaan, let her go! You promised her you'd never harm a woman." His eyes locked onto Rashdaan's, pleading for restraint. Rashdaan's grip on my arm remained unyielding, his fury and suspicion a palpable, suffocating force that threatened to consume me whole.
