Chapter 89: Shoot To Kill

We heard a noise from behind where my mom was, but he ignored it. I couldn't even see what was happening since his body blocked my view. I wanted to look, but I couldn't move.

"Don't think of doing anything reckless. I am not someone you can easily deceive," he said, then harshly let go of my face. "Now, answer me. Isn't this a tempting offer?"

I couldn't hold back a scoff. I rolled my eyes and stared at him with intensity, and he seemed puzzled by my reaction, which only made me laugh.

"Never, Mr. Coleman." I spat on his face. "I am not some object you can make these demands of. I will not be loyal to anyone, especially the mafia. If this is the reason why you dragged the woman you once loved into this, you're mistaken. You will gain nothing from me."

I said what I shouldn't have... and did something I shouldn't have.

The atmosphere shifted as his expression changed. I knew he didn't like what I'd said, especially after I spat on his face.

It felt as if the Devil himself was standing in front of me. He was smiling, but anger was evident in his eyes.

"Wrong answer," he said, pointing the gun in the direction where Randall was lying down. He didn't even look at him. "Try to piss me off again, and I'll do this, over and over."

Heintended to shoot Randall, but when we turned to look where he fired, he dropped the gun in shock.

Silver stumbled to the ground, staring at something... while I froze.

"Mom..." Tears fell from my eyes as I looked at her lying on the ground, fighting for her life.

She'd been hit in the chest, and blood spilled from her mouth. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't even move my gaze.

That was the noise we heard earlier. My mom had tried to get to my dad, causing her to fall from her seat.

She had been shot instead of Randall.

"Sapphire... I'm sorry..." she mouthed as she took her last breath.
