Chapter Sixty Nine Misuse of Opportunity
Reporters were standing at the front of the hospital, microphones raised and cameras flashing as though this was the center of the world. The news had spread like wildfire across Velmoria. The second daughter of the Quinn family had done the unthinkable, she saved the heir of the powerful Virellis family.What made it even more sensational was not just the act itself, but the history behind it. Everyone knew Lucas Virellis was the same Lucas Wren Isla once dated. He was the very man she had left waiting at the altar years ago. That connection alone fueled the intensity of the headlines.Now people were asking the same burning question: Why would Isla Quinn take a bullet for him?“She won’t back down, would she?” someone muttered as news anchors replayed the shocking scene.Just a day ago, Isla had been seen on live broadcast at the Queen of Sarsland’s welcome party, desperately trying to speak to Lucas. Cameras caught every word of her plea, every tremble in her voice. Everyone witnes
Chapter Sixty Eight The Hospital Room.
The news of her recovery already reached Queen Roseline. The Queen was in the middle of a private briefing when the words were whispered into her ear, and she immediately stopped what she was doing.“Take me there. She is a brave woman.” Roseline instructed Jonathan with a firm voice, her tone carrying both admiration and urgency.Jonathan bowed deeply, his loyalty unshaken. “Yes, ma’am,” he replied without hesitation. At once, he gave orders for the security team to prepare the bulletproof car for the Queen of Sarsland.There could be no mistakes. He had already received troubling intelligence. Reports said the criminal who attempted to assassinate the heir of the Virellis family had escaped into Longslavia, a small town in the country of Burckinghem. With such a dangerous man still at large, Jonathan could not risk the Queen’s safety for even a moment.“There could be someone else somewhere, planning evil,” Jonathan thought grimly as the Queen was escorted outside. The security deta
Chapter Sixty Seven Click The Trigger
He opened his eyes sharply, “Shit!” he hissed under his breath.What he expected was not what happened. Just two seconds ago, before he pulled the trigger, he had carefully aimed at Lucas’ head. He was confident, so confident, that this one shot would be the end.His plan was simple: pull the trigger and give Lucas a clean headshot. That way, when Lucas would be rushed to the hospital, there would be no hope, no miracle, no possible intervention to bring him back alive. Micah thought that was the only way to guarantee he would finally have Isla for himself forever, living happily ever after in a life he had already imagined a thousand times.But reality mocked him. The moment he pulled the trigger, instead of Lucas collapsing, Isla’s body jerked violently as the bullet ripped into her chest.The crowd scattered, screams filling the air. The guards sprang into action like well-trained machines. Isla fell into Lucas’ arms, her chest soaked in blood that quickly stained his trembling han
Chapter Sixty Six The Shot
Micah sat silently in his car, his body stiff and his mind restless. His eyes were fixed on the swelling crowd gathered along the road, people cheering in excitement as they waited for the grand procession.He lowered his gaze to his wristwatch. “1pm,” he muttered under his breath.For three long hours he had remained inside that car, waiting, watching, and building his resolve. Yet still, Queen Roseline of Sarsland had not stepped out. Neither had the first family, the wealthiest family in the land, nor the other three noble families who were expected to join the ceremonial ride. The chariots, adorned and glittering under the sun, remained untouched outside the grand building.Micah knew the schedule by heart. The Queen, the President, and his family were meant to step into the lead chariot. Behind them would follow the Virellis, a family powerful enough to be both admired and feared, with the heir, Lucas, walking proudly beside his father, Adrian.Micah leaned back, his breathing sh
Chapter Sixty Five The Attempt
Yesterday had been the welcome party of the Queen of Sarsland. Today was the continuation of that grandeur, the day the Queen would be taken across the major parts of the city. The anticipation had been building since dawn, and the atmosphere already hummed with excitement.To make it a day remembered in history, the procession would be done in a royal chariot, dressed in noble attire. Leading the parade would be the first family and the president himself, followed by the wealthiest family and its heir. After them, the next three most powerful families in Velmoria would join in, all escorting the Queen of Sarsland in a spectacle of prestige and tradition.Micah knew all of this. Every citizen of Velmoria did. It was the kind of event people looked forward to every year, something so rare that it became sacred in memory. The grand procession happened only once annually, and every time it did, the city turned into a stage of pageantry.Driving through the crowded streets, Micah steered
Chapter Sixty Four Micah Tried
Twelve hours ago, after Micah watched Isla on TV, laughing and trying to pair herself with Lucas, rage had overtaken him. It wasn’t the playful jealousy of a man watching a lover tease; it was deeper, rawer. To him, it felt like betrayal on live broadcast, humiliation that the whole city of Velmoria could witness.The anger lingered even when the night swallowed the city. Sleep was out of reach. Micah stormed out of his villa, his face hardened, his chest tight with obsession. He wasn’t simply driving aimlessly to cool his head. He was heading for a decision he had already made. His car rolled into the parking lot of Freedom Firearms, a place notorious for supplying weapons to Velmoria’s elite under the thin excuse of protection.Inside, the fluorescent lights flickered above him as he signed the paperwork. To the clerks, it was routine. To Micah, it was destiny. When the cold metal of the gun touched his palm, his heartbeat steadied. This wasn’t a reckless impulse anymore; it was a m
