Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Forsaken 292

Chapter 292

Manny did not dare think about rescuing anyone.

Never mind the blood feud between Briar and the Garza family over Rosalia’s murder. Ashton’s terrifying power and methods alone were enough to ensure that even if Manny wanted to save them, she could never find anyone to help.

No matter how much money Manny offered, no one would be foolish enough to go on a suicide mission.

But regardless of whether Manny could have saved them, she refused to act when her family reached out for help, without the slightest hesitation.

Manny knew that her family must loathe her now.

If Briar locked her up with them, her own family would beat her to death before Briar and her people even had to lift a finger.

Manny did not have to guess what her grandfather would say—Ben would accuse her of being ungrateful and cruel.

Briar paid no mind to Manny’s inner turmoil or reluctance. She gave Ian a look, and their car headed toward a villa near Ashton’s company.

The most dangerous place was also the safest–the Garzas were locked in the basement.

Now, Briar was about to deliver Manny straight to them, reuniting the family “in perfect order.”

‘And what will the Garzas do when they lay eyes on Manny? Heh, that’s Manny’s problem, not mine, Briar thought.

“No… Don’t do this…” Manny clawed at the basement door, crying and screaming, refusing to go in.

Tears and snot ran freely down Manny’s face as she thrashed, completely shattering the image of the confident, unstoppable woman she usually projected.

But Ian was not the kind of man to go easy on a woman.

He was the epitome of a ruthless and cold–blooded mercenary.

Seeing her stubborn defiance, Ian mercilessly kicked Manny–hard, square in the lower back–sending her crashing into the basement. Manny’s face twisted in agony.

Manny hit the basement floor with a heavy thud, and a scream of agony escaped her lips.
