Will You Marry Me? Chapter Thirty Eight
Back in the clearing, Carlos lay with his eyes shut, fighting exhaustion, until a scream cut through the still morning. His head snapped up. "Maya." The name thundered through his mind. He was on his feet in seconds, scanning the forest, heart pounding. The sound had echoed, bouncing between the trees, but he didn’t care. He ran, chasing the voice, refusing to let it fade. Maya’s legs felt like they were made of lead, but she kept running. Each breath tore at her lungs, hot and ragged. Behind her, Nico’s voice rose above the sound of rushing blood in her ears. “This time, you won’t get away from me.” She stumbled onto the edge of a cliff, the roar of water swelling beneath her. Leaning forward, she saw nothing but churning, unforgiving currents. The drop was dizzying. One wrong move, and she’d be swallowed whole. Turning back, she saw him. Nico was moving toward her, his hand pressed against his neck where a makeshift cloth was still tied, the fabric soaked through with fres

Nico turned to his man, his eyes dark and cold. “Go. Find them. Find our men and bring them here. We need to regroup before it’s too late. I want her found before morning.” “But it’s very dark,” the man said cautiously. “Take my flashlight,” Nico replied, thrusting it into his hand. “No excuses.” The man got to his feet and disappeared into the shadows, calling softly for the others. Nico remained where he was, leaning back against the rough bark of the tree. A wave of dizziness swept through him, forcing him to steady himself with one hand. When his fingers brushed his neck, he felt the soaked cloth pressing against the wound. Warm blood had seeped through, wet and heavy. “Bitch,” he muttered under his breath, his jaw tightening. “I will not spare you.” Meanwhile, the man he had sent began moving deeper into the trees, scanning the dark with the beam of his flashlight. He called out the names of their missing men, pausing when he caught movement just ahead. Believing it t
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Thirty Six
Earlier.... Maya pushed herself forward, every step a battle against the heaviness in her legs. Her breath came in shallow bursts, her chest burning, yet she refused to stop. Behind her, Nico’s voice rose through the forest, sharp and commanding, telling his men to spread out. His words carried a promise that chilled her more than the evening air. She knew they would not let her escape. The pain in her side had been growing for minutes, a deep, stabbing ache that now felt like it was clawing its way through her body. She pressed a hand against her ribs as she moved, but it did nothing to ease the weakness flooding her. Her vision wavered and her head felt strangely light. She knew she was slowing, and the thought twisted her heart with dread. “I can’t… I can’t make it,” she whispered to herself, her voice trembling even in her own head. “I’m sorry, Star… I’m sorry, Carlos… I tried. I really tried.” She kept close to the side of the forest, letting the thick trunks shield her f

Maya turned and started running. Her legs felt like lead, every step jarring her aching bones, but she forced them to move. The dry earth crunched beneath her torn shoes, and each breath burned through her chest like fire. Blood from the injury on her temple had dried against her cheek, sticky and warm. The forest seemed endless, the gnarled trees twisting above her like claws reaching for prey. She stumbled over a root, nearly going down, but caught herself with a gasp. She couldn’t stop. She wouldn’t stop. Not while Nico was behind her. “Get her!” His voice cracked through the night like a whip, followed by the pounding of boots. Branches snapped, shouts echoed. She could hear them gaining ground, their ragged breathing mingling with her own. Every muscle screamed, her vision swam, but she clenched her fists and pushed harder, the fear in her chest turning into raw, desperate will. She had to survive. She had to. Meanwhile… Manuel glanced at Carlos, still kneeling in t

Maya reached the corridor split....left or right. Bright had said “right.” But Maya didn’t trust her. After what Desire did? Trusting either of them could be fatal. Without a second thought, Maya turned left and ran. Her lungs burned. Her legs screamed. Her heart pounded like a war drum. And she was very thirsty. But she kept running, weaving through the endless maze of halls, praying that every step took her farther from Nico. Meanwhile..... “Maya! Maya, where are you?” Carlos spun around every time he heard footsteps. His grip on the gun tightened. Every second counted now. He could feel her...she was close. And in pain. Inside, Nico stepped out of the room, blood seeping through the cloth he’d tied around his neck. He staggered, then straightened, rage twisting his face. “Enough of this hide and seek,” he growled. He fumbled in his pocket, pulled out the same device, and pressed a button. A soft beep. Then another. And another. The bombs were live. H
Will You Marry Me? Chapter Thirty Three
Carlos stood outside the shattered glass, gun in one hand, the other clenched into a fist as he paced back and forth. Every second felt like a lifetime. 'Where is Manuel?' His eyes scanned the corners, breath shallow, heart pounding like a war drum. Then....movement. Manuel appeared, breathless, a small, tightly packed device clutched in his hand. Carlos rushed toward him. “The bomb?” Manuel nodded and passed it over. Carlos gripped the device like salvation. “How’s the perimeter?” “Still hot,” Manuel said, eyes sharp. “Nico came prepared. There’s a whole army out there.” Carlos cursed under his breath. “Alright. Step back.” He turned toward the glass wall again. The one Maya had been trapped behind. It looked calm now, but he knew she was there. She had to be there. He raised his voice. “Maya. If you can hear me, step back. Please, move away from the door.” He crouched and carefully placed the small bomb at the base of the glass. Every motion was calcula
