When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Upon seeing their long-time good friend dying a tragic death, Desmond and Theodore both saw red. They were on the verge of losing their tempers when Nathaniel walked over to their backs and patted them on the shoulders heavily. In a solemn voice, he advised, “You should both consider carefully before acting. Are you really going to turn on me because of someone who betrayed you both?”

“Are you saying that it was Vincent who leaked our information out? That’s impossible!” Desmond countered at once.

Nathaniel wasn’t in the mood to explain things to them; thus, he drawled, “Feel free to think about it. There’s plenty of time if you want to avenge him. But now…”

At that, he abruptly trailed off. Spinning around, he took the gun from the killer and pointed it at Ramona, who hadn’t said a single word, across the table.

That struck such stark fear into Theodore that he descended into a panic. His gaze alternated between the gun and Ramona, terrified that he would be the next person. “Why… Are you planning to kill us all here today?”

Nathaniel ignored his words altogether, staring at Ramona with resentment brimming in his eyes. Grounding his jaw, he spat, “Why did you do that?”

Ramona had been through hell and back and was sitting here with her own capabilities, so she showed nary a hint of fear despite Vincent’s precedence. She calmly lit a cigarette and started puffing away impassively, making it evident that she had no intention of explaining anything.
