Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 474

She floored the gas pedal, driving faster than she ever had before. As soon as

she screeched to a halt outside Z's cozy little house, she leaped out of the car and rushed inside.

The guys in the cars trailing her hadn't expected her to stop there. They pulled over too, excitement clear on their faces. Clara had walked right into their trap, and tonight, they planned to finish her off to complete their employer's task.

Clara reached the door and quickly punched in the code to get inside. The moment she stepped in, someone wrapped her in a hug.

"Z?"

"Yeah, it's me."

She patted his back gently. "Do you have any weapons here?"

"I do. I got a couple of guns from the Black Market, but they're too dangerous, so I've never used them."

The Black Market was a no-man's land, so picking up guns there wasn't unusual. Right now, that's exactly what Clara needed.

"Great, hand them over."

He opened a nearby drawer and handed her the guns, then sheepishly ducked behind her.

Clara caught on. "Are you scared?"

"Yeah, is that a problem? You can protect me."
