The Wrong Woman

Chapter 97

The vice-captain sneered. “Yes, the clan will not let traitors off the hook. You somehow managed to get away the last time, but your luck has finally run out.”

Suzanne paled. She felt her head spin and staggered backward. Her

mind went blank.

The vice-captain pulled out a gun and aimed it at her.

Suzanne couldn’t believe this was happening. She was a spy sent by the Nightshade Clan to steal secrets from Nathan before she lost her

memory?

The vice-captain approached her slowly with the gun.

He snarled, “Nathan is beginning to suspect me. He will soon find out that I was the one who tried to assassinate you last time. My identity has been exposed; soon, he’ll discover yours too.

“You’re going to die sooner or later, either by the clan’s hands or

Nathan’s.”

Suzanne had never hated herself as much as she did at this moment.

She could accept her past as an evil woman. Even if she was corrupted and filthy back then, she could still start afresh.

But why did she have to be a spy? She could never wash away her sin. She was a criminal-an enemy hated by both Nathan and the nation.

She didn’t want to die at Nathan’s hands.

Suzanne felt like a part of her died. “Just kill me.”

The vice-captain cocked the gun at Suzanne.

She slowly closed her eyes. She didn’t dare to hope for another life.

A person like her could never wash away her sin. She would never be good enough for Nathan.

A gunshot suddenly rang out.

Suzanne trembled but felt no pain in her body.
