Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Chapter 498 Be Wise Lauren's stare was ice-cold as she faced Raegan, her expression terrifying with her teeth exposed in a fierce snarl.

"Guess what? You're the one who's going down alone. I'm off to a fresh start." Lauren clung to the hope of a new beginning. Her rescuer had promised her a plane ticket, a stash of cash, and a passport once she finished this job. She dreamed of getting surgery abroad to heal her marred face and living comfortably ever after.

Raegan, fighting back against Lauren's grasp, replied with a hint of mockery, "Wow, you really haven't caught on, have you? They plan to get rid of us both." "Nice try, but I'm not buying it! Madness flashed in Lauren's eyes before she burst into wild laughter. "It's just you who's in trouble today. They're going to get rid of you and then whisk me away. I'll get my face fixed and snag a rich guy to live the dream!" "Lauren, wake up! I overheard them. They're planning to make us both disappear for good!" Raegan snapped.

Doubt flickered in Lauren's eyes, and her hold weakened a bit. "You're just trying to mess with my head...

Raegan, boiling over with frustration, wished she could literally crack open Lauren's skull to understand why Lauren hadn't grasped the gravity of their situation. Their captors had blatantly discussed plans to eliminate both of them.

Trying to keep her cool, Raegan pressed Lauren, "Didn't you catch their words? They intended to peg you as the fall guy, planning to kill us both and then pin it all on you." Lauren halted, thinking back. The heavier man had indeed said something like that.

Raegan continued, "Think about it. If they were really about to send you off on a plane, why the harsh treatment?"

The evidence was clear. Lauren was missing a chunk of her scalp due to the heavier man's assault, leaving a gruesome, raw wound.

Raegan had to look away since the sight was too much to bear. Lauren seemed to be beyond feeling any pain, perhaps numbed by some experimental chemical.

Lauren's condition was dire, teetering on the brink of death. The timeframe for the drug's effectiveness was uncertain.

Raegan implored with urgency, "Lauren, we don't have the luxury of time. They're planning to end us soon. Let's team up to take down these guys. We can settle our own scores later." Raegan's composed manner made Lauren second-guess whether she was the scapegoat of their schemes, as Raegan had warned.
