That was the truth
3&tam Saan cim down, she’ll see the photo of Mr.
Patrick and
the Blossom Square.”
Ste’s mouth <b>twitched</b>. That fast!
“You’re really not giving anyone time to breathe, huh?”
Tessa said. “Hah! Do you even know who I’m doing this for? I’m very clear about who’s close and who’s not. I’m helping your
mom.”
Ste fell silent. Is this really helping? It’s more like stirring <b>up </b>chaos.
But honestly, it was the kind of chaos she liked.
t of O
Yeah, we’ve got to admit our mistakes and know who’s family <b>and </b>who’s not. Ste said, her tone carrying a hint of schadenfreude.
She spoke as they walked toward the <b>main </b>building.
Suddenly, a shadow flickered <b>across </b>the snowy ground under the lights. Ste’s chest tightened.
Her instincts went on high alert. Before she could react, a cold gust of wind hit her from behind.
Ste moved fast. She hurled the phone in her hand straight behind her
The shadow dodged, then <b>charged </b>straight at her. Ste quickly stepped aside.
But the person <b>was </b>too fast. They pressed in step by step, and soon, Ste was forced into a fight. rmed, she shouted, “Help! Someone!”
Seeing her call for help, the attacker had originally wanted to toy with her, but now went straight for a takedown
He grabbed Ste’s slender wrist and twisted it behind her <b>back</b>.
“Come…”
Before the word was even finished, arge, hot hand mped over her mouth.
Meanwhile, Abraham was leisurely smoking a cigar, watching Eddie work himself to exhaustion.
Then, he thought he heard Ste’s voice.
In <b>a </b><b>sh</b>, he <b>stood </b>up and turned, striding outside with long, fast steps.
Abel paused in surprise at his <b>sudden </b>urgency, then quickly followed.
She struggled.
But the man easily restrained her. “Star”
The voice in her car was one she <b>hadn’t </b><b>heard </b>in so long but knew down to her bones. It made <b>her </b>breath catch.
Her eyes widened in shock, a storm of rage, fear, and confusion swirling within them.
She thrashed like <b>a </b><b>madwoman</b>.
Not far off, movement could be heard–someone wasing.
She forced her eyes open and saw <b>Abraham </b>turn the corner.
Their eyes locked, and Ste struggled even harder.
The man let out a low chuckle. “Star, you’re so disobedient as always
As he spoke, his hand chopped down sharply on the back of her neck.
Ste’s struggle stopped instantly, Darkness closed in, and all strength left her body. She went limp.
She barely heard Abraham’s furious roar. “Derrick, how <b>dare </b>you!”
It wasn’t far.
Derrick spoke into his earpiece, then….
Bang!
ss shattered. Gunfire erupted across Seats Cove.
Furious Abraham pulled a cold weapon from his waist and <b>aimed </b>it straight at Derrick, who was holding Ste under his. –
“Put her down!” he barked.
But Derrick just <b>used </b>Ste’s unconscious body <b>as </b>a shield. “Do you want to see what’s stronger–your bullet or her body?”
Rage flickered in Abraham’s eyes,
He looked at Derrick–calm, but seething with deadly intent.
Derrick clearly saw the veins bulging on <b>Abraham’s </b><b>hand</b>.
He grinned, amused and satisfied. “Did you forget? When your dad <b>was </b>still alive, he promised her to me. I’m here to pick up my fiancée. What’s wrong with that?”
“Let Her Go. <b>Abraham </b>growled each word through clenched teeth.
Abel also raised his <b>gun</b>, pointing it at Derrick. He nced at Abraham instinctively.
Abraham, usually deadly precise, <b>now </b>hesitated with Ste’s life hanging in the bnce.
His eyes were as sharp and cold as broken ice.
Outside, the sounds of chaos grew louder.
Derrick smirked darkly, then tossed a smoke grenade.
Boom!
He <b>vanished </b>into the haze, carrying Ste with him<b>. </b>
Abraham and Abel gave <b>chase </b>
But with visibility gone, they dared not fire recklessly
The <b>roar </b>of a helicopter circled above Scats Cove
Abraham’s fury had <b>reached </b>its breaking point.
