Snatching a vase from the corner, Ella smashed it against the windowpane of the door.
As the glass shattered, Ella tried to push open the door, only to realize that there was a lock hanging outside.
Ella hurriedly pulled a thin hairpin out of her hair.
Shards rained down as she shoved her arm through, ignoring the sting of glass.

'Crash'
The lock landed on the floor.
The door creaked open.
Relief washed through her like a wave and she staggered forward. But her steps faltered almost instantly when she spotted Adrian approaching her with steady steps.
Ella winced internally and mentally prepared herself to face the man…
But just then, she realized that something was amiss.
Adrian's posture did not seem as steady and he was enshrouded in a ferocious aura. She flinched when she met his eyes, crimson and indecipherable.
