Chapter 262 Trapped

• Serena’s POV
• I stare at Dale, my breathing uneven, my fingers digging into my scalp. He just keeps driving, his hands steady on the wheel, his face unreadable. The silence stretches, pressing against my skin like a vice, winding tighter with every second. He’s making me wait on purpose, dragging this out, punishing me.
• “Dale, please,” I beg, my voice cracking. My whole body feels like it’s burning from the inside out, nerves raw, my skin too tight.
