Chapter 101 - Hundred And One
Ryan’s mind was racing. He couldn’t believe that Suzy was pointing a gun at him. Suzy reloaded the pistol again, her eyes filled with a cold, calculating hatred. "How dare you threaten Isabella," she demanded, her voice low and menacing.
Ryan tried to reason with her, his voice filled with concern. "Duchess, Cass... Cassandra, put the pistol down. We can talk about this."
Suzy looked at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and defiance. "Who gave you the right to think of harming Isabella?" she asked, her voice rising.
Another shot fired, but Suzy missed again. Her frustration mounted. "Why isn’t the damn bullet hitting you?" she shouted, her voice filled with rage.
As she reloaded the pistol, Ryan continued to try to reason with her. "I just wanted to scare her mother," he explained, his voice low and calm. "I wanted her to know how it feels to be on the receiving end of that whip."
Suzy’s eyes narrowed. "Did I ask you to do anything for me?" she demanded, her voice filled with anger. "Why did you go there? I told you I could take care of it myself."
Suzy aimed the pistol at Ryan, her finger on the trigger. "I hate you the more for involving Isabella in this," she said, her voice filled with venom.
She pulled the trigger, but the gun clicked empty. She cursed under her breath, her frustration mounting. She hurriedly searched for bullets, her movements frantic.
Ryan took advantage of her distraction. He lunged forward, knocking the gun out of her hand. The weapon clattered to the ground, landing with a thud.
Suzy looked at him, her eyes wide with shock. She had been so focused on her anger that she hadn’t seen him coming.
She tried to reach for the pistol, but Ryan was faster. He stepped on it, crushing it under his foot.
