Capítulo 126: Book 2 : Chapter 24

Ella's POV

"Jesus fucking Christ! Could you drive any slower?!" He asked me.

For the entire journey, we had been alternating drivers every few hours. It was currently my turn and, unlike him, I was driving cautiously on the icy road.

"I'd rather get home a day later than in a wooden box," I replied looking down the sheer steep drop of the mountain that was only separated from us by about half a metre. "I'm not taking any chances."

"There's cautious and then there's cautious. You're like an old woman on her way back from bingo," he grumbled.

"I have the Praesidium Deae Astra in my bag and I will not hesitate to use it on you," I snapped.
