Part 2License to Save

Pain paralyzed my body.

Sienna aimed her sharp heel directly at my eye. If she pressed down, my eyeball would burst instantly.

Julian’s bodyguards stood around her, baseball bats in hand, looking at me with malicious intent.

I was no match for this many people.

"I... I'm sorry, Miss Sienna..." I gasped, swallowing my pride to save my life.

A life was at stake; I had to compromise. "I really have a patient to save, please let me go..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Sienna's face.

She smirked, suddenly bending down to grab my hair and slamming my head against the pavement.

"Still lying when you're about to die?!"

She shrieked, "Think it's fun impersonating a doctor? Even if you were a real doctor, let alone a driver, I could kill you as easily as stepping on an ant!"

I struggled to protect my head with my hands.

Sienna stomped viciously on my fingers.

I screamed in agony, trembling as I repeated, "I'm sorry."

As a surgeon, my hands are my life. If they were damaged, I might never perform delicate surgery again!

"Scared now?" Sienna sneered. "Too late!"

She pointed at my car. "You wanted to drive, didn't you? I thought of something even more fun."

With a glance from Sienna, the bodyguards swarmed me, tying me up and tethering me to the rear bumper of the car.

Realizing what she intended to do, I shook uncontrollably.

"I'll die!" The fear of death made me hyperventilate. "You can't—"

Slap!

A stinging slap across my face.

Then, a stack of crisp hundred-dollar bills was thrown at me.

"Twenty grand to buy your life," they laughed. "Miss Sienna once drove this car without a license and killed someone. She only paid ten grand. You should be grateful!"

Before I could process their words, the engine roared.

Lying on the scorching pavement, I was suddenly jerked forward.

Sienna, behind the wheel, deliberately accelerated and swerved, cackling with glee as I was flung into a thorny rose bush.

My exposed skin was shredded by thorns, blood instantly welling up in long streaks.

I was only wearing thin casual clothes. If this continued, I would surely die!

Suddenly, the car stopped.

Sienna hopped out of the driver's seat.

"Tsk, tsk. I thought you'd pee your pants," she said dramatically. "I've used this trick on five people. You're the most boring!"

I couldn't retort.

The bodyguards had already taped my mouth shut.

Satisfied with my silence, Sienna hopped back in and gunned the engine.

She deliberately drove onto a gravel path.

Tiny rocks tore through my skin, embedding themselves deep into my flesh.

My elbows and ankles were ground down to the bone.

The excruciating pain blurred my consciousness.

I wished my heart would just stop, so the torture would end.

Just as I was about to black out from shock, Sienna slammed on the brakes.
