Chapter 183
The morning sunlight beamed in through the curtains of the window. It woke Lena up from her slumber. She felt the warmth coming from Nathan's body, which was next to her. His arm wrapped around her giving her protection.She Looked up at Nathan, and she saw his calm expression, his face appearing gentler when he was sleeping. She blushed even though she knew how dangerous it was to have intercourse with Nathan, who she was supposed to sell out to Randy and Bobby soon. However, she still had no regrets about last night because she was satisfied by the intense intercourse. But then she realized the situation she was in, she had just slept with Nathan, unprotected. This made her heart beat quickly.She carefully moved out from underneath his arm and went straight into the bathroom. She glanced back at him one more time before rushing into the bathroom, her mind racing with what to do next. She splashed water on her face, trying to calm herself."Okay, Lena. Think," she murmured to hersel
Chapter 182
Trisha was restless as she couldn’t sleep. The mansion was extremely quiet in a way that only increased her unease. Deciding to stand and take a stroll, she let out a sigh “Perhaps drinking a cup of tea would help me sleep.” She said to herself.She got out of bed, put on a robe, and quietly walked down the hallway. Upon entering the kitchen, she could hear a soft tune playing. Intrigued by her curiosity, Trisha pursued the noise, walking carefully with light steps.The sound of music increased in volume as she approached the music room. Beethoven's "Für Elise" could be heard echoing in the corridor, a tune that was quite familiar. Stopping at the entrance, she held her breath in surprise. Max sat at the piano, his fingers moving gracefully across the keys. He played the same song at the ball on September 10, the evening he was shot.Trisha stood by the doorframe, observing him. In this moment, he appeared quite distinct--vulnerable, almost peaceful. A feeling of both admiration and s

The elegant dining room was filled with the sound of silverware clinking. Trisha was seated across from Max at the extended, shiny table, with their breakfast laid out in front of them. The noticeable silence between them was dense, packed with words left unsaid and tension that lingered."Hand me the salt," Max requested without lifting his eyes from his plate.Trisha handed him the salt shaker, her eyes lingering on him. “You’re always so serious.”Max glanced at her, an eyebrow raised. “It’s necessary.”“Necessary?” Trisha scoffed. “Doesn’t it get exhausting?”He shrugged, sprinkling salt on his eggs. “It’s part of the job.”Trisha sighed, pushing her food around her plate. “I can’t imagine living like that.”Max’s gaze softened slightly. “You get used to it.”“Do you?” Trisha challenged. “Or do you just tell yourself that?”He set down his fork, looking at her intently. “What do you want to know, Trisha?”She hesitated, then met his eyes. “Why do you do it? The violence, the dange
Chapter 180
The Lucky mansion's large living room was filled with the family, the air still heavy with tension after the recent events. Max was seated in an armchair, his face lit up by the cozy fireplace's warm radiance. Lena, Nathan, Trisha, Roland, and Bucky surrounded him with expressions reflecting a blend of curiosity and worry. They knew they had to discuss the next move against the Mexican gang.Lena stared at him closely. "Max, who exactly is Raul?"Max inhaled deeply. “Raul didn't start as a criminal mastermind. Raul Alvarez, I believe his name was. He was born in a small Mexican town. His family lived in a small, dilapidated house due to their lack of wealth. His father was employed as a laborer, earning just enough income to provide food for the family. Raul was left responsible for his younger siblings after his mother passed away in his youth.”Roland frowned. "So, he had a tough childhood. But that doesn’t explain why he became who he is."Max gave a nod. "Correct." However, his ea

In the living room, they settled onto the sofas and chairs, the exhaustion beginning to show. Mrs. Evelyn brought out blankets, wrapping them around Lena and Nathan, who was visibly shivering, not from the cold but from the adrenaline wearing off."Roland," Lena began, her voice soft but steady, "how did you find us?"Roland sat beside her, his arm around her shoulders. "We had a lead on the warehouse. We knew Raul was behind this, and we tracked his movements. It was a team effort but it was all thanks to Sarah."Nathan leaned forward, his hands clasped together. "Raul... He used us. He never intended to rescue us. He just wanted to use you as a pawn against you guys."Nathan kept Kim's name out of the conversation. He was still following Kim’s order to get close to the Lucky family at all costs.Roland's jaw tightened. "We figured as much. Raul’s been playing a dangerous game, and now we know just how far he's willing to go."Trisha, sitting next to Lena, looked at Nathan with conce
Chapter 178
Back to the Present Time At the east side of the city, Roland and his men stormed into the warehouse where Lena and Nathan were being kept. Their weapons are drawn and their eyes sharp. This was happening simultaneously with the money exchange between Max, Bucky, and Raul."Cover me!" Roland shouted, ducking behind a stack of wooden crates. His men spread out, returning fire with precision.One of his men crouched beside him and nodded. "We've got to move fast, sir. Mrs. Lena and Nathan are in the back room."Roland reloaded his pistol, his face set in determination. "Let's go!"They progressed systematically, eliminating the guards blocking their path. Roland was familiar with the layout of the warehouse despite its maze-like narrow corridors and shadowy corners. He had devoted hours to studying it, carefully planning every aspect of the rescue. "Sir, on your left!" One of Roland's men warned him, firing at a guard who had emerged from a side door.Roland spun, his shot finding its
