However the unbelievable feeling is abruptly minimize off as a thud sounds, observe by a cry of ache from Kayla.

Rage roars by me. It’s so fierce that it practically blinds me.

“You lay a hand on her yet another fucking time, and I’ll break each bone in your physique twice earlier than I lastly bash your head in,” I growl.

“And why is that?” the gravelly voice calls again, now sounding cautious and suspicious.

“As a result of Kayla Ashford is mine.”

“And who the fuck are you?”

“Jace Hunter.”

Silence descends on the abandoned grounds.

Then I swear I can hear the person inside curse below his breath. Nobody desires the Hunter household as an enemy.

“Lionel fucking Henderson,” he growls. “I ought to’ve executed extra than simply shoot him within the leg.”

Shock pulses by me. Lionel? Is he part of this? Fuck, I knew it. I at all times had a foul feeling about him.

“Hear,” the person calls, his voice now loads much less threatening and much more pleading. “I received pulled into this not figuring out the true scope of it. So how about this? I stroll out this door with Kayla. Then once I attain my automobile, I launch her and drive away.”

“Or I can simply shoot you the second you step exterior.”

“When you try this, I’ll take Kayla down with me.”

“Select your subsequent phrases very fastidiously.”

He’s silent for a number of seconds. “I stroll out with Kayla, we go to my automobile, I launch her, after which I go away. Nobody will damage her.”

Watching the doorway, I think about my choices. I may attempt to take him out. However Kayla has already confirmed that he has a gun. And even supposing I’m a superb fucking shot, there’s nonetheless a danger that he has time to squeeze the set off earlier than he dies.

And I can’t take that danger.

“Alright,” I reply. “Agreed.”

Two seconds move. Then a person with a shaved head walks out the door. He’s unarmed and is holding his arms raised the place I can see them. I frown.

His gaze darts throughout the realm, then he notices me. Wariness is written in each line of his face, however all he does is to show so that he’s going through me whereas he slowly begins shifting away from the door. He’s sporting a black swimsuit just like the others, which suggests that he’s seemingly a bodyguard to this man as properly.

Then fiery pink hair comes into view within the doorway.

My coronary heart clenches as I stare in conjunction with Kayla’s face.

Her gaze darts in direction of me the place I’m standing immediately on her proper, however she doesn’t flip her head as a result of there’s a gun pressed towards the again of her cranium. And a person’s hand on her shoulder.

Fury burns by me.

I flex my fingers on the gun by my aspect and lift that as properly. I maintain one weapon skilled on the unarmed bodyguard and the opposite on the person who’s now stepping out of the constructing.

Purple mild from the setting solar falls throughout his face as he turns into seen.

Shock sparkles by me.

It’s Gregor Doyle.
