I'll get you

As the car drove away from the curb, Elena noticed Emrys's gaze lingering on Vanya, who was sitting in the front seat. Elena's eyes narrowed, and she felt a surge of jealousy. She tried to seduce Emrys, leaning in close and whispering in his ear, but he barely acknowledged her presence.

Elena's frustration grew as Emrys continued to ignore her, his eyes fixed on Vanya instead. She tried to get his attention again, but he brushed her off, his voice cold and detached.

Finally, Emrys told the driver to drop Elena off at her destination. Elena was livid, her face red with anger and humiliation. As she got out of the car, she turned to Vanya and spat out her venom.

"I hate you, Vanya," she hissed, her eyes blazing with fury. "You think you're so much better than me, don't you? But you're not. You're just a pathetic little woman who can't even keep her husband's attention."

Vanya watched Elena's outburst with a mixture of fear and disgust. She knew that Elena was capable of great cruelty, and she was glad to see her go.

As the car drove away from Elena's destination, Vanya tried to make a break for it. She attempted to jump out of the car, but the driver was too quick. He caught her and tied her hands behind her back, his eyes cold and unforgiving.

Emrys smiled as he watched Vanya struggle against her restraints. "Thank you, driver," he said, his voice smooth as silk. "I think we can take it from here. Please, leave us alone."

The driver nodded and got out of the car, leaving Vanya and Emrys alone. Vanya's heart was racing with fear as Emrys turned to her, his eyes gleaming with malice.

"Welcome to our little reunion, Vanya," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I've been waiting a long time for this moment. And now, we're finally alone."

Vanya's eyes widened with fear as Emrys leaned in close, his breath hot against her skin. She knew that she was in grave danger, and she had to think fast if she wanted to escape alive.

"Don't.. don't touch me.. I'm Mrs Carter, Nolan won't spare you", Vanya said shakenly

Emrys's smile grew wider as he leaned in closer to Vanya, his eyes gleaming with a sinister intent. "I'm not afraid of the wrath of Nolan," he said, his voice low and confident. "He doesn't care about you, Vanya. He's only using you for his own convenience."

Vanya tried to struggle against her restraints, but Emrys's words cut deep. She knew that Nolan didn't love her, but hearing Emrys say it out loud made her feel like terrible.. she doesn't get why she even cares though.

Emrys's hand brushed against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. "I like your new attitude, Vanya," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You're so much more... fiery..so much spicier than you used to be."

Vanya tried to spit at him, but Emrys just laughed and caught her chin in his hand. "I know why you married Nolan," he said, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You did it out of spite, didn't you? Because I cheated on you and broke your heart."

Vanya's eyes flashed with anger, but Emrys just smiled and leaned in closer. "Don't worry, Vanya," he whispered. "I promise not to be with Elena again. Not if it means I can have you instead."

Vanya's heart was racing with fear as Emrys locked the door and started to pounce on her. He kissed her roughly, his lips bruising hers as she tried to struggle against him.

As the kiss deepened, Emrys's hands began to roam over Vanya's body, undressing her with a ruthless efficiency. Vanya's mind was racing with panic as she tried to think of a way to escape. She knew that she couldn't trust Emrys, not after what he had done to her in the past.

But as Emrys's hands touched her skin, Vanya felt a spark of fear ignite within her. She was trapped, and she didn't know how to get away.

Emrys's fingers brushed against her skin, sending shivers down her spine. "You're so beautiful, Vanya," he whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "I've missed you so much."

Vanya's heart was racing with fear as Emrys's hands continued to explore her body. She knew that she had to think fast or he'd ruin her honor.

As Emrys continued to undress Vanya, his hands and lips began to explore her body with a ruthless intensity. He nibbled on her skin, leaving a trail of hickeys on her neck and shoulders.

"You're so beautiful, Vanya," Emrys whispered, his breath hot against her ear. "I've missed you so much."

Vanya's mind was racing with panic as she tried to think of a way to escape. "Let me go, Emrys," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "This is insane."

Emrys just laughed, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "You're not going anywhere, Vanya," he said. "You're mine now."

Vanya's heart was racing with fear, but she refused to give up. She knew that she had to think fast, or she would be trapped in Emrys's web of deceit once again.

As Emrys leaned in to kiss her again, Vanya saw her chance. She pretended to kiss him back, but instead, she bit down hard on his lip.

Emrys yelped in pain, and Vanya took advantage of the distraction to make a break for the door. "You bitch!" Emrys shouted, holding a handkerchief to his lip.

Vanya didn't look back. She fumbled with the lock, her hands shaking with fear, but she finally managed to unlock the door and fling it open. She tumbled out of the car, landing hard on the pavement, but she didn't stop to catch her breath. She scrambled to her feet and started to run, not stopping until she was sure she had left Emrys and his sinister plans behind.

As she looked back, she saw Emrys watching her with a sinister smile on his face. He was holding a handkerchief to his lip, where Vanya had bitten him, but his eyes gleamed with a malevolent intensity.

"You can't escape me, Vanya," he shouted. "I'll always find you!"

Vanya knew that she had to be careful. Emrys was not a man to be underestimated, and she knew that he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. And what he wanted, Vanya realized with a chill, was her.

Emrys's smile grew wider as he watched Vanya disappear into the distance. "I'll get you, Vanya," he whispered to himself. "And when I do, you'll regret ever trying to escape me."

Emrys's smile grew wider as he watched Vanya disappear into the distance. He had wanted the old Vanya, the timid and submissive one, but now he realized that he wanted the new Vanya even more. She was feisty and independent, and Emrys was determined to break her spirit and make her his own.

He took a deep breath, his eyes never leaving the spot where Vanya had disappeared. He would get her, no matter what it took. And when he did, she would regret ever trying to escape him.
