Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1399

The woman hustling behind him was keeping up, not missing a beat. But when they both turned the corner, they froze, eyes widening at the grisly sight before them.

Mason's pupils contracted sharply as he recognized the figure sprawled on the ground-it was Everett. He darted forward, yanking the knife out of Victoria's grip in one swift motion. But she was beyond reason, feral without the blade, and sank her teeth into Everett's

cheek.

"Die! How dare you betray me! Die!"

In one swift move, Mason struck the back of Victoria's neck, knocking her out. He then turned his attention to Tiffanie, who was huddled in a corner, screaming and covering her ears. He ordered the woman behind him to call the cops and strode over to scoop Tiffanie into his arms.

"It's okay now, it's okay," he murmured, trying to soothe her.

Tiffanie fought with all her might, her nails broken and her fingers smeared with blood. Mason held her tight, feeling her whole body tremble, her legs kicking out, her eyes wide and unfocused, seeing nothing but the crimson splashes of blood in her mind. She couldn't string together a single sentence, only scream and struggle. When she finally exhausted herself, she passed out cold.
