The Fear of Losing Her    

[EVE]

The rain was pouring harder now, a relentless downpour that showed no sign of stopping.

Lily and her group were still lingering under the waiting shed, giggling like schoolgirls as they saw me.

But their laughter abruptly died when Cole's custom-made Royce rolled up to the curb.

Their jaws practically dropped. It was a one-of-a-kind car, a luxury vehicle so exclusive that even the wealthiest families would have to pull strings to get one.

Not even Sullivan's family or Lily's could boast something like this.

I could see the shock on their faces as they stared, trying to figure out how someone like me could be stepping into a car like that.

Sophie's expression was a mix of disbelief and envy, while Lily looked like she had just swallowed a lemon.
