Chapter 6 My Savior Has Arrived

Deep Sea Miner
I forced my head up, trying to see through the blur clouding my vision.

My prayers were answered.

At the front stood a man in a dark trench coat, killing intent blazing in his eyes—Declan Harper, my brother.

He and his men moved without hesitation, striking down every thug in the basement.

The men who had assaulted me were no match for trained mercenaries.

The crack of bones, the thud of blows, the screams and desperate pleas for mercy—all of it filled the air.

Declan drove a kick into the

  • I Was Never Your Final Choice   Chapter 11 The Dust Has Settled

    Christopher was taken aback. "W-What do you mean?"I spoke slowly, each word steady and clear."The car accident two years ago… it was staged, wasn't it? You pretended to protect me so I would believe you were injured. And just like you expected, I fell for it. For two years, guilt ate away at me. I worked myself to the bone taking care of you. I did everything you asked. And all that time, you were just playing with me."I couldn't describe the feelings I was experiencing now.There was only emptiness in my chest as I looked at him quietly."So, you figured it all out," he said, stumbling over his words.The last trace of hope in his eyes faded.He wanted to say more to change my mind, but when he met my unwavering gaze, the words died in his throat.It left a bitter taste in his mouth, and he couldn't bring himself to finish.That was it. Whatever was between us was over.A strained chuckle escaped him. His tears rolled down his cheeks."Fine. I understand. Allow me to do

    "No. You're wrong. Dianne would never do something like that," Christopher said at once, but the look on his face had already changed, and Dianne saw it. Panic flashed across her eyes.She stepped out from behind him and jabbed a finger at me. "Riley, take that back! Just because you have someone backing you now doesn't mean you can make wild accusations! "So what if he's the Mob Prince? Look at her, Chris—she probably got involved with him a long time ago. Don't believe her! She's just holding a grudge against us. She wants to turn us against each other!"At that, Declan signaled for his men to act. A group of bodyguards immediately held her down and dragged her toward us.She protested. "What are you doing? I'm—"Declan removed his glove and slapped her hard.After that, he cleaned his hand with a handkerchief. His icy glare sent shivers down her spine. "It's against my code to hurt a woman, unless she deserves it."Covering her swollen face, she shot him a disbelieving loo

    Christopher's reaction startled everyone nearby, but he paid them no mind. He shoved through the crowd and stumbled after the woman on the deck."Is that you, Riley? Have you come back to me?" He reached out a trembling hand to grab her shoulder.She turned around when his hand was an inch away from her shoulder.He didn't expect her to be a stranger, and he was stunned speechless."I don't know you, sir." She frowned and swatted his hand away in disgust.Disappointment engulfed him. The light of hope slipped from his eyes as he apologized profusely, "I-I'm sorry…"'She's not Riley, either. Where did Riley go?'Dianne hurried over and slipped her arm through his, her voice soft as she tried to calm him. "Don't get upset, Chris. Look, isn't that the Mob Prince over there? Let's go say hello. If anyone can save the Turner family, it's him."He followed her gaze and looked into the distance.Not far away, a tall, striking man stood with his back to them. Beside him was a woman in

  • I Was Never Your Final Choice   Chapter 8 The Mob Prince

    Truth be told, even after Declan threatened to walk away and leave me to my fate, he had still tried more than once to punish Christopher for how he treated me.I intervened every time by shielding Christopher with my own body, which was why he was unscathed.Now that I had decided to retaliate against the Turner family, Declan agreed readily."I promise to make them pay you back. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I'll bring them to ruin and let you play with them as you please."…"It's been two weeks. Why isn't there news about Riley yet?" Christopher roared.Half a month of sleepless nights had hollowed him out. His stubble had grown wild, his eyes sunken and bloodshot."Chris, you need to eat something." Dianne cautiously entered the room with a bowl of stew."Go away!" he snapped, knocking her hand aside. The hot stew spilled on the floor. "Had you not gotten in my way the other day, I wouldn't have lost Riley!"Fury reddened his eyes. He fixed his gaze on the woman

    Christopher rushed into the site and frantically searched for Riley. He couldn't find her anywhere.He grabbed the trembling workshop owner from the corner and demanded, "Where's Riley? How did you lose her?"Rage burned in his eyes, turning them bloodshot.The man's face was swollen and smeared with blood. Several of his teeth were gone, and his words came out slurred."A group of mercenaries took her… It was bad… Emerson, you should've told us she had someone backing her…""Watch your mouth. Riley is an ordinary woman. Stop making baseless accusations."Dianne denied the claim, hoping to avoid blame.Christopher missed their exchange. He was convinced that Riley was abducted.He wondered who sent the mercenaries. 'An enemy? Kidnappers?'"Riley…" He called out her name.He released the owner's collar and stumbled backward.His foot hit a metal can, knocking it over. Something rolled out with the hardened silicone inside—something that caught the light.His breath hitched

The impact alone was enough to break his ribs.Declan moved past the crowd, and his gaze locked onto me on the workbench.I was undressed and bruised.I had never seen him crying despite his injuries, but at that moment, he teared up. "Riley, am I too late?"His hands were shaking.He couldn't bring himself to touch me, as if afraid it would add to my pain.His eyes were reddened with tears when he unchained me
