#Chapter 192: Gun to a Fistfight

Edrick

Ethan continued to hold the gun firmly up against Moana’s head. In the white blow of the bright spotlight that was trained on us, I could see the way that Moana’s red hair was stuck to her neck from sweating as her adrenaline surged through her. The ropes that held her to the hard metal chair in the middle of the floor crossed over her belly, restricting the little life inside of her. Seeing her like this made me feel physically sick, and if Ethan didn’t have a gun in his hand, then I would have ripped him to shreds as soon as I saw what he had done to her.

“Just let them go, Ethan,” I pleaded as I took another tentative step forward.

However, Ethan just pushed the gun harder into Moana’s temple.

“You’re a liar,” he said through his teeth. “I know that you and your mother had something to do with it, too. Don’t take me for a fool, Edrick. Your family has done nothing but brought me pain, and now I’ll make you feel the same pain.”

“Ethan, I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about,” I said. “My mother loved you like you were her own son. Sure, you and I never got along, but I would have never wanted your mother to die. I would never wish that sort of pain upon you.”

Ethan stared at me for a few moments with the gun still pressed up against Moana’s head and his arm wrapped firmly around her neck. Thankfully, as I spoke his grip seemed to loosen, allowing Moana to finally draw in a deep breath. Beside her, Ella continued to sleep. I could see now that Ella’s chest was rising and falling gently, which filled me with immense relief; Ethan must have put her under a spell to make her sleep. I was glad that she wouldn’t have to see any of this, and I hoped that she wouldn’t remember anything from this horrible night if I got her out of here.

as I despised Kelly for what she did to Moana in the Rogue district and for how nasty she was, I didn’t want her to die.

other police followed suit; what Ethan didn’t know was that there was a sniper trained on him from outside, ready to shoot just in case he tried anything. But, surprisingly, he didn’t try anything. Not yet, at least. Much to my surprise, he set his gun down and released his grip from around Moana’s neck. Moana let out a huge sigh of relief. I could see
