Sylvia's POV:
I quickly sat straight nervously. "God! Why are they following us? Who are they?"
Rufus pursed his lips and drove calmly as if he were used to such things. "Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine."
Rufus hit the accelerator and drove at full speed. The black car behind continued to follow us. My palms grew sweaty.
The beautiful scenery that I had been admiring all along turned into a hazy blur. Rufus drove at lightning speed. I gripped the seatbelt for dear life. For a moment, I thought the car would fly in the air.
"Relax, Sylvia. I won't let anything bad happen to you," Rufus said, glancing at me.
However, nothing reached my ears. My heart leaped to my throat when I saw the car was about to collide with the iron railing ahead. "Watch out!" I squealed.
Rufus quickly turned the steering wheel, and our car drifted to an unexpected turn, leaving the black car far behind.
I took a deep breath and looked back. The black car had turned into a speck. "Did we finally get rid of them?"
Rufus glanced at the rearview mirror and stepped hard on the accelerator.
It was dusk. The rays of the setting sun cast a golden hue on our car. The entire stretch of land was soaked in the luxurious light, but I was not in the mood to appreciate the magnificent scenery. My heart was still hanging in my throat.
The wide road broke into two lanes. The sky turned dark as the sun sank into the horizon. Just as we were about to enter the urban area, I saw two cars parked in the middle of the road, blocking the path.
"Slow down, Rufus! Someone has set a row of spikes on the ground!" I shouted nervously. They were arranged in a manner where driving one step forward could puncture our tires.
Rufus' jaw tightened as he slowed down the car.
