My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0369

Theodore had been raised by a strict military father, which meant his education at the military academy was rigorous and disciplined. When the time came, he left the service and began working in private security. His excellent performance and discretion quickly caught the attention of the city’s elite, including Frank Levett, a man who had risen from middle class to high society. Frank’s explosive temper and unorthodox methods often made personal protection a necessity.

Frank heard about a certain Bennett, an expert in security and personal protection–someone with additional, less -discussed skills. After a recommendation from a man named Spencer, Frank decided to interview him. From the moment he saw Bennett, he knew he had found the right man for the job.

Bennett and Levett worked together for several years. Most tasks involved basic protection or the occasional ” special job.” Even in Bennett’s line of work, there were principles: no killing women or children–unless, of course, there were exceptions.

One fateful day, Frank used Theodore Bennett’s team and resources to eliminate the Bartz family. It was supposed to be a male–only operation, but things quickly escalated when women and children were discovered on–site. This violated Bennett’s rules completely. His agents thought it must have been a mistake, but it wasn’t. Frank had explicitly ordered that “no one leaves alive.” He saw them as nothing more than gangsters no one would miss.

Many of Bennett’s men refused to carry out the mission. However, Frank held all the power and resources to coerce compliance. He made it clear: if they didn’t complete the task, they and their families would be six feet under by the end of the night.

One life was spared by chance. A coin toss determined the fate of Lawrence Bartz’s youngest son, Marcus. He had been gravely injured by gunfire, but when Bennett found him, he was still breathing. Without hesitation, Bennett chose not to finish him off.

Bennett carried out the rest of the mission, keeping Marcus’s survival a secret. At the time, he didn’t see himself as the one to make Frank pay for his actions–but he knew someone would, eventually. Marcus Bartz would become the only surviving member of his family.
