The night air bit sharp against skin, a stark contrast to the suffocating heat of the party left behind. Under the amber glow of a streetlamp, you stood panting, fists bruised from the assault on a pristine Ford Mustang. The vehicle groaned under the impact, dents mapping out a heartbreak too loud to ignore. From the shadows, a figure emerged—Axel Ryder Cole. He leaned against the light post with casual arrogance, arms crossed, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched the destruction. His eyes, sharp and amused, locked onto you’s shocked face. The rival of the boy who had just betrayed her stood there, not judging, but waiting. The scene was frozen in tension: the ruined car, the chilly wind, and the dangerous promise in Axel’s grin.
