Chapter 324

Chapter 324

The guy behind Stephanie let out a low laugh. “Stefi, still a little troublemaker, huh?”

The second he opened his mouth, everything went quiet–except for the wind howling.

A quick chop to her neck–sharp and clean–and Stephanie’s fight was done.

Blackness hit her like a brick before she could even blink.

Her strength melted away, and she flopped to the ground like a ragdoll.

Through the fuzz, she barely heard Sebastian’s pissed–off yell, “Richard, how dare you!”

He was so close–she could’ve touched him if she weren’t out cold.

Richard mumbled something into his walkie–talkie, and then–BOOM. A huge blast.

Glass exploded everywhere, chunks flying like sharp confetti.

Gunshots popped off all over Shallow Bay Area, turning the place into a warzone.

Sebastian was beyond furious now. He ripped his gun from his waistband, snapping it up to aim at Richard, who had Stephanie slung under his arm like she weighed nothing.

“Put her down,” he growled, his voice low and deadly.

Richard just grinned, holding Stephanie up in front of him like a shield. “What’s the move, Seb? Your bullets gonna punch through her?”

Sebastian’s eyes flashed with something dangerous, his stare tightening.

He glared at Richard–calm on the outside, but inside, he was ready to tear him apart.

Richard noticed the veins popping on Sebastian’s hand, the tension rippling under his skin.

His grin got even cockier as he scoffed “Didn’t your father promise her to me way back? I’m just here to grab my fiancée- what’s the big deal?”

Sebastian’s jaw locked up tight. “Let. Her. Go.” Each word came out like a hiss.

Elliot pulled his gun too, sneaking a nervous look at Sebastian.

Sebastian was usually a crack shot, but now, with Stephanie in the mix, he was off.

Those eyes, though? Cold as ice, sharp enough to cut.

Outside, the madness cranked up–yelling and gunfire going back and forth in the dark.

Richard shot Sebastian a sly grin, then chucked a smoke bomb. Bang! Thick fog flooded the room, and he bolted for the door, Stephanie still dangling under his arm.
