Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 184

Just as the two kidnappers lunged forward, they were suddenly kicked hard from behind.

Standing above them, Magnus glared down, his face dark with fury. He ground out, "Touch her, and you'll regret it."

With that, all the rage he'd been bottling up exploded. He charged forward and started beating the kidnappers mercilessly.

One of them was pummeled to the ground, barely able to move.

The other tried to seize Isadora in the chaos, desperate to grab her as a shield.

But Magnus was faster. He tackled the man, pinning him down, and shouted, "Isadora, run! Get out of here!"

Isadora didn't hesitate. She turned and sprinted away.

But as she ran toward the edge of the cliff, panic clouded her judgment. Her footing slipped, and suddenly she tumbled over the side.

Magnus saw her fall. He tore away from the kidnappers and raced after her, desperate to catch her before it was too late.

But before he could reach her, one of the kidnappers, wielding a wooden club, brought it crashing down on Magnus with brutal force.
