The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Read The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 140 – Beads of sweat drooped down Darius’ face when faced with the menacing pistol in Michael’s hand. The safety of the pistol was off, and the moment Michael pulled the trigger, a bullet would be embedded in Darius’ heart.

Darius felt genuine fear when faced with the gun trained on his heart. He wasn’t a fool, so he knew that with the amount of training he had now, there was no absolutely no way he could dodge a bullet. The instant Michael shot him, Darius would be a goner.

Alice’s eyes widened in shock and horror the second she saw the menacing pistol in Michael’s hands; and her heart started pounding rapidly. Her blood immediately ran cold, and she had never felt so much fear in her life before.

“Wait!” Darius bellowed loudly just as Michael was about to pull the trigger.

Michael paused and looked at Darius with a sinister gaze; while the police officers outside the cabin moved closer to the cabin the moment they saw a firearm in Michael’s hands.

“Do you have any last words?” Michael asked sinisterly, the gun still trained on Darius’ heart.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Darius pleaded.

“There is still a chance for you to make a comeback. At most you just have to face charges for kidnapping. With your wealth and status, you wouldn’t spend more than five years in prison; but the moment you shoot me, even if I don’t die, you will be charged with attempted murder.”

“This time, you will not be able to worm your way out of this no matter your status. Are you sure you want to do this?” Darius pleaded, trying to speak sense into Michael.

Michael looked at Darius and laughed manically.

“You took my woman away from me, and now you’re pleading for leniency. Do you think you’re in any position to plead for mercy?” Michael asked cynically.

“You’re right. The moment I shoot you, I would no longer be able to save myself. Even then, I still have to kill you.” Michael stated firmly; and with that statement, he pulled the trigger on the pistol.
