Chapter 109: What If He’s Gone?
Evelyn stood frozen, staring at the water beneath. Everything had gone silent. She couldn’t hear anyone speaking anymore, Luca screaming at her. She couldn’t feel anything anymore and the world felt as if they’d slowed down in her vision.
"Zayne..."
This had to be a dream...right? Surely what had just happened right now wasn’t real. Zayne, he was still right here, around here. He came to save her! He did!
Turning, she looked around, eyes searching for him, refusing to believe she’d just watched him fall into that sea below.
"You thought you could escape me, huh?" Valerio barked. "I told you that nothing gets away from me. What’s mine is mine and no one takes it from me!"
But Evelyn couldn’t really hear a thing he was saying. She was losing her mind slowly, her thoughts jumbled.
"Grab them!" Valerio ordered.
His men rushed over, reaching to grab Evelyn who was sauntering around, looking for what.
"Zayne," she mumbled. "Zayne—"
They tried to reach for her, but Luca pounced in front of her, spreading her arms out, while glaring at them.
"Don’t touch her! Get away from her!" he shouted at them.
The men glanced at Valerio. He ordered in response, "Shoot him."
