Chapter 287: I want to know about our love story
A chilling realization dawned on Zack as he watched Bella slip away. His eyes darkened with fury, and his face twisted into something monstrous.
With a snarl, he raised his gun, aimed directly at them. But before he could pull the trigger, the guards fired.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots echoed in the air.
Zack’s body jolted violently, his chest erupting in crimson. His mouth opened in a silent scream as his knees buckled, another bullet tearing into his stomach. His grip on the gun loosened. His body swayed backward. His wild, pain-filled eyes locked onto Bella one last time, something unreadable flickering in them.
And then he fell. His body plunged over the edge of the terrace.
For a moment, there was only silence. Then a shriek tore through the air.
"ZACK!" Hazel collapsed to her knees, her cry raw with agony. Her frail frame trembled violently before her eyes rolled back, and she slumped to the ground in a dead faint.
"Hazel," Cole rushed to her side, catching her before she could hit the ground.
Bella clung to Theodore, her body shaking from the adrenaline, from the sheer terror of what had just happened.
Theodore tightened his hold on her, pressing a firm kiss against her temple. "It’s over," he murmured, with a mix of relief and lingering fury.
Zack was gone. And with him, the nightmare was ended.
