Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 710

Charles was about to say something else, but suddenly went quiet, his eyes narrowing.

Ryan was just about to snap, "What's with the theatrics?" when, in the next instant, the window exploded.

A bullet shattered the glass.

He went pale, and without thinking, threw himself in front of Clara to shield her.

Last night, after Clara had passed out, he'd barely managed to drag her here. This wasn't even his place—just a stylish rental on the edge of the city. He'd called Emily for help, and she'd come over to make some medicine for Clara.

He never thought anyone would find them way out here.

Suddenly, a dog's bark rang out. The gunshots outside turned frantic. More glass shattered, but then, just like that, everything went quiet.

Charles's eyes sparkled with excitement. He jumped up, heading straight for the door.

Ryan yanked him back. "Are you out of your mind? Didn't you hear the gunshots?"

Charles just snorted, chin tilted up in that annoying way. "Please. I'm unstoppable. These guys aren't even a challenge."
