Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 75

Seraphina gave a nod, then turned to look at Balch.

Balch furrowed his brow at her, his eyes filled with worry.

"I'm good." Seraphina said in a forced casual tone, then asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I was talking business with some friends at a bar nearby." Balch replied, "I was about to leave when I spotted you standing here."

Hearing this, Seraphina laughed, "it must be fate then!"

Balch looked at her, "How much have you had to drink?"

"Not much." Seraphina squinted her eyes, gesturing a tiny bit with her fingers, "See, I'm not even tipsy!"

Balch just looked at her. Seraphina met his gaze for a moment, then leaned forward onto his shoulder.

After the car accident, many people took out their phones to take pictures. There was no way for them to avoid being photographed, but no one seemed to care.

The police arrived quickly after the call. They surveyed the scene and took eyewitnesses back to the station for their statements.

Thanks to Balch's status, everything was handled swiftly. It was only half an hour before Seraphina finished giving her statement.

As Seraphina was walking out, Abbot was coming out of the room next door. Seraphina thanked him again.

Abbot was polite with her before quickly leaving the police station.

Balch then came forward, "Let's go. I'll take you home."

Seraphina gave a nod.

As the car pulled out of the police station, Balch continued, "I had someone look into it. The preliminary findings are out. The driver was a punk, the car was indeed stolen, he had been drinking, got into trouble, and that’s why he ditched the car and ran."

"Oh." Seraphina replied absent-mindedly.

"What's wrong?" Balch asked softly, "Are you scared?"

Seraphina was silent for a long time before looking at him, "It wasn't an accident."

Balch paused, "What?"

"The car accident tonight wasn't an accident." Seraphina said, "I thought about it while giving my statement, this isn't the first time..."

Balch frowned at her, carefully listening to her recount.

"The first time, when I ended up in the hospital, it was because someone pushed me onto the road, and I almost got hit by a car; the second time was when I was with Leandro, but luckily another car took the blow for me; the third time was tonight... It's too coincidental that I almost got hit by a car three times..." Seraphina looked at him, speaking calmly, "Someone is trying to kill me."

There was a flash of realization in Balch's eyes, but worry overpowered it, "Did you tell the police about this?"

Seraphina shook her head slowly, "I just put these incidents together, but I don't have any evidence to prove they're connected. What's the point in telling them?"

"Are you sure these incidents are connected?" Balch asked again.

Seraphina became paler, but her eyes remained firm, "The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced they are."

Balch was silent for a moment, then he took her hand, "Let me handle this. Also, I'll arrange for someone to protect you."

Seraphina looked at him blankly for a moment before pulling her hand back and giving a small smile, "No thanks."
