**Raindrops Kissing Silent Streets – by Aadi Sharma**
**Chapter 16**
With a swift and decisive motion, Adam seized Renee’s hand, pulling her close to him. His voice was laced with urgency as he turned to Kayla. “I’m really sorry, Kayla. Renee might just be feeling overwhelmed right now. You—”
But before he could finish his sentence, Renee broke free from his hold once more, a fierce determination igniting in her eyes. Without a moment’s hesitation, she snatched the thermos from Adam’s friend and swung it with all her might, striking Kayla’s head with a sickening thud.
Bang!
“I’m not triggered. I just want her dead.”
Each word dripped with venom, landing like a slap that echoed through the tense air.
Renee had completely unraveled.
In the heart of Harborview City, the Spencer family stood as the most formidable among the elite families, their influence stretching across the city like a shadow. Though they shared a long-standing acquaintance with the Grahams, crossing them was a risk the Grahams could not afford to take. Just as the Spencers were welcoming the Grahams into a significant project, preparing for an alliance that could elevate both families, Renee’s violent outburst shattered the fragile peace.
Blood began to flow from Kayla’s forehead, painting half of her face a deep crimson red.
Adam, in a fit of rage, yanked Renee back, his hand connecting sharply with her cheek.
“Are you out of your mind, Renee?”
The force of the slap left her cheek ablaze, her head snapping to the side. Disoriented and weakened, she stumbled backward, colliding with the wall, the pain momentarily stunning her into silence.
“Kayla? Don’t panic. I’m taking you to the hospital,” Julian said, his voice tight as he glared at Adam with barely concealed fury. “I’ll deal with you later!”
“Julian, please hurry! I’m terrified it’ll leave a scar! I can’t bear the thought of being disfigured!” Kayla cried, her sobs laced with genuine fear.
The reality of her situation weighed heavily on her. She had never anticipated that Renee would unleash such madness!
Their friends stood frozen in disbelief, the scene unfolding before them like a nightmare.
Adam was seething, his anger palpable as he pointed an accusing finger at Renee.
“Go apologize to Kayla! Right now!”
