บททั้งหมดของ Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

"Please, no!" Amethyst's voice trembled as she backed away from Jonathan, her eyes wide with fear. They were in the dimly lit storage room of the college library, a place rarely visited after hours. Her hands clutched at the doorframe, trying to find leverage against his advancing form. "You should have known better than to mess with me," Jonathan growled, his voice low and menacing. His grip was firm as he yanked her into the room, slamming the door shut behind them. The echo of the metal latch resonating through the small space sent a chill down her spine. Amethyst struggled against him, her tears mixing with the dust on the old wooden shelves. "I didn't mean to, I swear! Let me go, please!" But Jonathan's expression remained cold, devoid of empathy. "Too late for that now," he said, his tone dismissive. He pushed her against a stack of old textbooks, their spines cracking under the sudden pressure. She cried out, the sound muffled by his hand clamped over her mouth. "Scream

Venna stared at her screen, eyes wide with disbelief, as L.K.’s urgent message flashed before her. "Amethyst caught," it read. Her heart sank, realizing the gravity of the situation. Amethyst knew this was coming. That’s why she sent her mother and aunt to safety. "Maureen," she called, her voice tight with urgency. Maureen, who was working on a nearby terminal, looked up, her face immediately mirroring Venna’s concern. "What is it?" Maureen asked, moving to Venna's side. Venna pointed at the message. "It’s from L.K. Amethyst; she has been caught. She knew this was going to happen. That’s why she sent her family away." Maureen's face hardened. "We need to inform Dylan immediately." Venna nodded, her fingers flying over the keyboard as she sent a secure message to Dylan. Within moments, Dylan’s response came through, terse and filled with resolve. "We attack now." On Dylan's end, the decision was already made. The plan was set in motion. He looked around at his gathered lieutena

Dylan stared for a few moments at the lifeless bodies of Jonathan and the woman who died for him. Both of them lay crumpled on the floor, but Dylan had no intention of changing his position. Dylan only stood in front of them with a sneer on his lips. Even though he didn't feel like winning, he still couldn't help but be sneered at.Jonathan's face, once twisted in anger, is now frozen in shock and pain. Of course, Dylan didn't give him a chance to recover from his emotions. Miranda's face, however, looked soft and as if it were ready to die."Pathetic," Dylan muttered, shaking his head and mockingly looking at them. He knows that he has also committed many sins, but these two people are much worse than him. That is what he thinks. "He loved her enough to let her die for him, but he still married another woman." Dylan shook his head and then looked emotionlessly at the two bodies lying on the floor. "No respect at all."Dylan ignored it and started walking away from Jonathan's corpse.

Amethyst hesitates to enter Amethyst's room in the hospital owned by their mafia. It was in the middle of the night, and he always visited him at a time like this. He felt that he couldn't visit Amethyst in the morning because he couldn't face Amethyst's mother and aunt. He knew that even though they knew the reason why Amethyst agreed to get married, even though Dylan knew that they wouldn't blame him for this, with his conscience, he couldn't help but feel that these were all his fault.He felt like a coward, like a man who had failed her in every possible way.Take a deep breath before opening the door. He opened it very gently and stepped inside. The room is as gloomy as it was before and was only dimly lit by the light from the moon outside that entered through the window.Dylan also immediately saw Amethyst; as usual, she was still sitting and staring out the window. She is staring outside with a distant look, her mind seemingly lost in a far-off place. It was like she wasn't st

When the fire was extinguished on the floor where Amethyst's ward was, leaving the smoky ruin, they were sure it was safe. When the firefighters entered, Dylan didn't give up, so they didn't do anything but put on the firefighters' protective gear. They knew it was illegal, but they couldn't do anything because it was Dylan.Even so, when he arrived at the very floor of Amethyst's ward, he was not allowed inside the building because it was still hot. He stood at the edge of the scene; his eyes were red and filled with wild, desperate hope. He knows that there is a good chance that Amethyst is gone, but he is still clinging to the hope that Amethyst will not leave him.It didn't take long; his heart almost dropped when he saw firefighters holding a stretcher with a body wrapped around it."No," Dylan said softly. His whisper made him tremble, and he shook his head violently. "No, it can't be her," he added.When they got down, they couldn't help but ask Dylan's face for meaning. When t
