Chapter 61 

The blizzard was relentless, and the wipers thrashed frantically across the windshield as Stella crawled along the empty road

Inside the car, the heater was on full blast, and gentle music drifted through the warm air

Briony leaned back, eyes closed, her whole body as still as Milo beside her

Stella kept sneaking glances her way

She didn’t know exactly what had happened back at Southcreek Manor, but she could sense Briony had been hurt badly this time

Honk! Honk

Suddenly, a car horn blared from behind

Stella glanced in the rearview mirror

A sleek black Maybach was barreling up behind them, closing in fast

Is that Stewart’s car behind us?she asked, tension creeping into her voice

Briony slowly opened her eyes, looked into the mirror, and frowned slightly. It’s him.” 

He’s flashing his lights at us!Stella pressed harder on the gas. Seriously, what does he want now?!” 

Just ignore him,” Briony replied quietly

As if I’d do anything else,Stella muttered

She gripped the wheel tighter, her nerves firing as she sped up. Buckle up, Bryn! I’m about to floor it!” 

But the weather was too fiercesixty miles an hour was already pushing the limits of Stella’s skills in this 

storm

It wasn’t long before the Maybach overtook them

Stella was still cursing under her breath when the Maybach suddenly swerved, fishtailing right in front of them. Stella’s eyes went wide as she slammed on the brakes- 

Briony lurched forward from the momentum, but her seatbelt kept her safe

Trying to steady her breathing, Stella turned to Briony. Bryn, are you okay? Did you get hurt?” 

I’m fine,” Briony said, shaking her head. Are you?” 

Me? Right now I want to give Stewart a piece of my mind! I swear, if I get out of this car- I’llI’ll punch a hole 

in his-” 

She never finished her sentence

Because as she turned, she saw Stewart himself standing right in front of their car

The wipers whipped back and forth, but nothing could obscure the force of his presence

He was dressed all in black, the hem of his long coat snapping in the wind and snow. Nearly six foot three, he stood like a sentinel, unyielding against the storm

Even the swirling snow couldn’t diminish the intensity that radiated from him. His handsome face was unreadable, his dark eyes fixed deeply, unblinkingly, on Briony inside the car

Stella swallowed hard and looked at Briony

Bryn, I’ve never backed down from a fight, but if he’s our opponent, I think our only shot is hitting the gas and

running him down while we have the chancel” 

Briony just gave her a look, tightening the blanket around her shoulders. He’s here for me. Stay in the car” 

What if he tries to drag you off?Stella protested, eyes wide with worry.. 

Briony paused, glancing back at Stella’s anxious face

They locked eyes for a few seconds before Briony let out a small, exasperated laugh. Star, maybe lay off the romance novels for a bit.” 

Stella pouted. Fine.” 

Briony pushed open the door and was immediately hit by a blast of icy wind

She stepped out, closed the door behind her, and brushed a few loose strands of hair from her cheek

Stewart’s gaze never wavered

Briony stood by the car, keeping a few yards between them

The sky had grown even darker, and the storm was only getting worse

This wasn’t the kind of weather for a roadside conversation, but Briony knew Stewartif he’d chased her down, he wasn’t leaving without a fight

Stewart, if you came here to convince me to go back and look after Irwin, let me make this clearI won’t.” 

Stewart’s jaw tightened. His voice was quiet, but deep. Irwin’s just a kid. He didn’t mean what he said.” 

Those weren’t empty words, Stewart. He was telling the truthjust repeating what you told him: I’m not his mother.” 

Stewart stiffened

Briony met his gaze, her voice steady, nearly carried away by the wind. I’m not as important to Irwin as you think. He’s just gotten used to relying on me these past five years. If I leave, of course he’ll have a hard time at first. But he’ll move on. He’ll be fine.” 

Stewart pressed his lips into a thin line

The snow was falling harder now. There were only a few yards between them, but it suddenly felt like miles. So you’re really set on cutting ties with Irwin?he finally asked, his voice barely rising above the storm
