The driver immediately turned the car around, heading in a new direction.
Casey didnt actually want to meet Jimena. She feared it might raise Daveys suspicions. But the detour presented an opportunity, as the new route would pass by a few other cars, indicating it wasnt entirely secluded.
Casey gazed out and suddenly pulled out a sharpened fork, pressing it against Daveys throat and shouting at the driver, Stop the car!
The forks tip was honed to a point, and with gentle pressure, it drew blood from Daveys neck.
Startled by the threat, the driver hit the brakes hard, causing the car to stop suddenly.
The force of the abrupt stop drove the fork deeper into Daveys skin, releasing a fine mist of blood that shockingly sprayed across Caseys face.
Madam, please, think this through the driver stuttered, trying to persuade Casey.
Open the doors! Casey instructed the driver.
But the driver glanced at Davey, waiting for his nod before unlocking the doors, unsure without his approval.

Seeing no immediate response, Casey pressed the fork deeper, causing the trickle of blood to widen into a more substantial flow.
The situation looked dangerously serious.
Yet, Davey, the target of the threat, showed no emotion as if he wasnt the one at risk. He asked in a calm voice, Casey, do you truly want to get out of the car?

Desperate to escape, especially since they were near a small street market, Casey believed she could find help once outside the car.
She assumed, with numerous shops and bystanders present, Davey wouldnt risk an abduction in such a public setting. Any confrontation would surely draw the attention of local authorities.
As innocent as she could be, Casey supposed if she reached the authorities, she could get in touch with the Clifford family, thus meeting her daughter again. She was determined to break free from Daveys grip for good.
Anger flashed in Caseys eyes as she declared, Davey, either let me out now or you wont make it. Decide!
Though tempted to harm him at that moment, Casey needed to see her daughter. Even if Davey deserved punishment, it wasnt her place to deliver it. That was for the courts to decide. She had been his captive for years. Committing murder and risking her chance to reunite with her children wasnt an option.
Casey, youre always so impulsive, Davey noted, his behavior was disturbingly calm.
Enough, Davey! Your time is running out. Youll face the consequences of your actions.
Casey, havent I always treated you well? Who else in this world loves you as much as I do? Davey appeared genuinely confused, Even your once devoted guard has started a family, and yet here I am, still waiting for you. Why do you always want to escape?
Casey immediately understood who Davey referred to. Shocked, she pressed him urgently, Hector has a child?
Yes! He turned his back on you a long time ago! Davey had always harbored a strong dislike for Hector. He believed that without Hectors interference, Casey would have never left him and married Landen.
However, the fact that Hector had gained nothing from his actions brought Davey satisfaction.
Now that Hector had a child, Davey wanted Casey to understand that he was the one who truly loved her. That boy is already over twenty! Casey, his love for you is fickle. Cant you see? Im the one who loves you most!
