NovelApp"Don't move!" Carl roared and yanked Amber into his arms. His arm draped protectively across her front as he pressed the gun against her temple. "Take a chance if you want to see your beloved die before your eyes!" Carl knew Axel was one of the top secret agents. Facing all of them alone, taking Axel's life would be effortless.
Carl had nowhere to run-Amber was his last shot at staying alive.
The woman he professed to love was now his hostage, a tragic twist of fate that seemed almost too absurd to bear.
"Axel... Leave me... Go!" Amber's voice was resolute despite the tears brimming in her eyes.
"Don't you dare touch her. If you do, I will ensure you die a torturous death!" Axel's eyes burned with fury and ice, radiating a palpable menace.

He continued, "We were supposed to have our wedding ceremony, escape to a distant land, and live happily ever after. You ruined everything. You wanted to destroy Amber. All this is your fault!" "Carl...e back to your senses..." Amber's forehead was covered in cold sweat as she tried to catch her next breath. "Haven't..... Haven't you realized? This is all... part of Jameson's plan.
"He had you marryand forced you to have this eye-catching wedding ceremony... It was only... so that... the armed forces will be attracted to you. As for him, he will escape Kontina in one piece.
"He wanted to use... both our deaths... to trade for his freedom. Did you think that you were his trusted subordinate and support? From the beginning until the end, you have just been a pawn he's abandoning after he's done with you!" "That's enough! Did you think that I didn't know these? I don't need you to spell it out for me." At last, Carl lost control and went berserk. He bellowed, "What are you all standing there for? Kill him!" These were Jameson's subordinates. Logically speaking, they would heed Jameson's instructions, not Carl's.
However, with Axel's appearance, they perceived the seriousness of the situation. They each whipped out their weapons and prepared to eliminate him.
Right at this moment, two menacing figures dashed in from outside.
It was Jasper and Jonah! They had donned black outfits and bulletproof vests. Their expressions were steely, their eyes sharp. They swiftly neutralized Jameson's men, who were poised to attack Axel. Their shots were accurate and lethal.
Jasper and Jonah'spetitive spirit was evident as they matched each other's bravery, agility, and marksmanship.
They were like typical men. No matter the situation, they were full of vigor and eager topete with not only their enemies but also with one another.
It was a pity that Alyssa and Julien weren't around. If they were, who knew how much harder Jasper and Jonah would be fighting? Amid the chaos, Carl slipped out the church's back door, still holding Amber as his hostage.
"Amber!" Axel threw caution to the wind and chased after them.
Police officers streamed in, surrounding the rest of Jameson's men and subduing all of them.
"Axel went after them on his own!" Jasper knitted his brows together tightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The police havepletely surrounded the church. Carl can't escape." With a stern expression on his face, Jonah gripped tightly onto his gun. "I'm just not sure if Cart would be so nefarious as to kill Amber. Based on my experience, we should get the snipers ready." Jasper tilted his chin up slightly. He narrowed his eyes and responded, "I'm ready anytime." Meanwhile, under the bright sun at the presidential office building, Miley donned boots and an apron. She picked fresh flowers from the е garden and placed them in a basket to arrange later. Alyssa stood outside, soaking up the warm sunlight to ease her troubled mind.
Suddenly, her phone started vibrating in her pocket. She took it out and looked at the screen. Her heart sank. It was an unfamiliar Kontinian number.
She had a bad feeling about this. It felt as if a cold-blooded snake were slithering up her leg.
Seeing that Miley wasn't paying any attention to her, she turned around and answered the call.
"Hi, Lyse." A warm voice uttered her nin the sway it always did. Yet, it felt like an icy gust had enveloped her. She instinctively hugged herself tighter.
"I know you're listening, Lyse," Jameson chuckled softly. He was calm, and he didn't sound rushed.
Alyssa's jaw tightened, her eyes narrowing with icy resolve.
"I miss you very much, Lyse." || Jameson's voice was slightly hoarse his laughter soft and intimate, as if he were whispering in her ear. "I believe you're thinking abouttoo."
