"I can't swim!" she cried out, her voice trembling.
Without hesitation, Rowen jumped into the pool, his heart pounding. The cold water surrounded him as he swam towards Vanessa, who was struggling to stay afloat. Her panicked movements made it harder for him to reach her, but he pushed forward.
Wrapping his arms around her, he held her close, keeping her above the water.
For a brief moment, panic flickered in Rowen's eyes what if he wasn't strong enough? But he shook it off and focused. With a push, he guided her towards the poolside.
He broke through the surface, gasping for air, as he lifted Vanessa out of the water. Rachel tried to step in, but Rowen pushed past her, his gaze locked onto Erin. His intense stare made it clear he knew Erin was behind this.
Without saying a word, Rowen carried Vanessa away, taking her back to the hotel room as some hotel attenders came to help.
