At that moment, his only thought was to keep Raegan all to himself, away from anyone else's reach.

Mitchel raised a hand to massage his throbbing temples and helplessly said, "As long as you're not seeing other men, you can do as you please."

"I have the freedom to connect with other people. Who gives you the right to control me? I'm not your pet. And why should I listen to your commands? Just because you resort to threats, you think I should be intimidated by you?"

Raegan couldn't shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong with Mitchel. He always seemed so unreasonable and did things that defied explanation.

Hearing her words, Mitchel felt a tightness in his chest. He tugged at his tie in irritation and earnestly said, "I never wanted to hurt you, and I'll never do that."

“But you're hurting me right now," Raegan said firmly.

She gazed at him with seriousness and continued, “You forced me into the car against my will. Do you realize how scared I am?"

Upon hearing this, Mitchel took a deep breath and said in a helpless tone, "You don't have to be afraid of me. As I've said, I won't hurt you, and I'll never let you get hurt."

In truth, he was willing to risk his own life to protect her.

Raegan, however, remained unconvinced. Mitchel had left an indelible impression as a domineering and rude person. And right now, she had no interest in reasoning with him or entertaining his nonsense.

"Fine. Whatever. Can you please just take me back now?" Raegan demanded.

Mitchel lifted his head and replied, "Not now."

Raegan's anger surged within her. It seemed she had been wasting her saliva on a pig-headed and obstinate person!

“I've had enough of this! You liar!" Raegan pushed him away and tried to jump out of the car.

Thankfully, Mitchel was quick on his feet and managed to stop her in time. He firmly held her and locked eyes with her. “Don't act rashly.

We've arrived at our destination."

Raegan peered out of the window and realized they were parked in front of an upscale club. She eyed Mitchel warily and questioned, “Why are you bringing me here? I won't go inside with you."

“Don't worry. I won't do anything to you. There's someone inside the club you're interested in," Mitchel replied calmly.

“Who could that be?" Raegan asked, still suspicious.

Mitchel finally loosened his grip. “Let's go inside and find out.”
