My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 391

Andrew Lane’s voice landed right above her, so close it felt as if he’d wrapped the air itself around her. His presence pressed in from all sides, sharp and unyielding, until all she could breathe was him—a scent and a weight she now found suffocating.

Emily clenched her eyes shut, jaw locked tight. Every nerve in her body screamed at her to get away, to escape the arms she had once ached for, but now wanted nothing more than to leave behind. The embrace that had meant everything was now little more than a shackle.

In a matter of seconds, she lashed out, hands pushing, fists pounding against his chest in desperate resistance. “Andrew Lane, let me go!” she snarled, her voice ragged with anger and humiliation.

Andrew said nothing. His only answer was to pull her closer, the circle of his arms tightening with silent, stubborn resolve.

Each time Emily’s fists landed against him, the dull thud echoed in her ears, but Andrew remained unmoved, giving no sign of pain or even acknowledgment.

She forced her head up, catching only the hard lines of his jaw and the sharp bridge of his nose; he wouldn’t even look at her. He was making it clear: she wasn’t leaving. Not unless he allowed it.

No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t break free. She used every ounce of strength she had, but Andrew was immovable—as cold and impassive as stone.

“Andrew Lane, have you lost your mind?” she cried, her voice ringing through the vast, quiet airport. “Let me go!”

Her pleas seemed to echo through the empty terminal. Emily didn’t need to look to know that the few scattered travelers were staring—she could feel all their eyes on her.

Across the polished floor, Emma George and Elizabeth Wilson raised their voices in outrage, their words harsher and more cutting than Emily’s. Even Elizabeth’s grandmother, usually gentle and kind, stepped forward and called out in a trembling voice, “Young man, let her go. This isn’t right.”

Andrew ignored every word, holding Emily fast, as if nothing could shame him into releasing her.
