Adrian caught up with Melina, watching her lonely figure walk slowly under the streetlights. He reached out and grabbed her cold hand, pulling her into his arms. Melina crashed into his solid chest, smelling his familiar scent. She looked up at him, his dark eyes gazing down at her. She was torn between love and hate for this man, unsure of what to do with him. She warned him, “Adrian, you better stay away from me.” “Come back to the hotel with me,” he said coldly, holding her as he walked towards the exit of the neighborhood. She didn’t want to go with him, but she couldn’t break free. In a panic, she tried to use her taekwondo skills to attack him, but he easily deflected her moves. He scooped her up, tossing her over his shoulder like a sack, and strode away. “Adrian, put me down!”
