Just as I feared, a loud voice filled the air, cutting through the silence that followed the collision. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?' Mario thundered, his voice filled with rage.
My heart raced as I turned to face him, my cheeks burning with shame. 'I-I'm so sorry,' I stuttered, my voice was barely above a whisper. 'I didn't mean to...'
'You didn't mean to?' Mario let out a bitter and scornful laugh. He stepped forward, his eyes narrowed as he took in the dent on his car. 'Do you have any idea how much this car costs? You're going to pay for this, you pathetic loser.' He growled.
He grabbed my bike and threw it to the ground, breaking the chain and bending the wheels. 'That's for starters,' he said, his face twisted with malice. 'You owe me ten thousand dollars, and you better have it by the end of the week, or else...'
He left the threat hanging in the air, as he got into his car and drove away, leaving me in a state of shock and fear. I felt tears sting my eyes as I looked at my ruined bike. Was this it?
