Eva bit down on her lip until it bled, her hands reaching shakily for her bra strap. Her mind screamed at her to stop, but the threat against her mother loomed like a guillotine.Her fingers fumbled with the bra clasp.Eric zoomed in. Sean chuckled with vile amusement. Even the guards looked pleased.And just as Eva slipped the first strap off her shoulder—BANG! BANG! BANG!Gunshots.Everyone froze.BANG! BANG! BANG!--- againThe sudden, thunderous sound of gunshots exploded from outside the room.Everyone jerked in shock.“Wh-what the hell was that?!” Eddie bellowed, spinning toward the door. “Go, find out what that commotion is about!” he barked at his guards.The guards reached for their weapons, but before they could react, the door exploded open with a thunderous crack.Then—CRASH!The door burst open with a violent kick, splinters flying everywhere.Chris stood in the doorway like a vengeful storm, eyes ablaze with fury. Behind him, Ethan entered with a raised pistol, barrel

A horrifying scream ripped through the room. Kate convulsed in agony, her body arching as if to escape her own skin. The scent of burning flesh filled the air—a sickening, acrid stench that turned Eva’s stomach.Kate writhed in agony, her cries echoing off the walls as the scent of burning flesh filled the air. Eva screamed along with her mother, tears streaming down her face. “Stop! Stop it, please!” Eddie didn’t flinch. He was enjoying himself. His eyes sparkled like a child unwrapping a gift. “This is just the beginning,” he murmured, lifting the rod once more.“Stop! Stop! Please, you monster!” Eva’s voice cracked, her body writhing in the guard’s grip. “You're going to kill her!”“Don’t! Please, no!” Eva shrieked,But Eddie didn’t stop. He lifted the rod again and pressed it down a second time on her thigh–this time higher up Kate’s thigh.. More screaming. More writhing. Kate’s skin blistered and peeled under the heat, her breath coming in rapid gasps. Her pain was so intense

Eva’s chest tightened. The hatred in Eric’s eyes was deep—far deeper than she’d anticipated. She shifted her gaze to Eddie, who was watching her with an eerie calmness. Turning her attention to Eddie, she glared. “Where is my mother? You promised that you’d let her go if I came here.” Eddie laughed—a slow, menacing laugh that echoed around the room. “I said a lot of things, sweetheart,” he said, standing up. “But I never promised anything. You're not in a position to make demands.” “You said if I came, you’d let her go,” Eva pressed, her voice trembling with rage. Eddie’s laughter was like nails on a chalkboard. “Ah, Eva… You still believe in promises? How adorable. I said a lot of things,” he replied, sipping his wine. “But now that you’re here, the game has changed. I’m in control.” Eva’s eyes blazed with fury. “You bastard.” her heart sank. She had walked into a trap. But she wasn’t going to back down. Eddie took another sip of his wine. “But I must say—you’re more stunning

As soon as Chris found himself alone again, he didn’t hesitate for a second. With urgent precision, he pulled out his phone and dialed Elliot’s number. The call connected within moments. “Elliot, I need you to use your clearance under Pegasus Enterprise,” Chris said in a low, commanding tone. “Check on Eva using the CCTV system at Cross Corporation immediately.” Though the request was abrupt, Elliot didn’t need further clarification. Cross Corporation was a direct subsidiary under Pegasus Enterprise, and Elliot, being the Chief Operations Officer, had the highest authority to request such surveillance. There was no red tape. No delays. “Understood,” Elliot responded briskly. “Give me ten minutes.” Chris ended the call and stood still, eyes narrowed, his mind racing. The silence around him was deafening, but inside, a storm raged. Every second Eva was unaccounted for twisted his gut tighter. The call ended, and without wasting time, Elliot dialed the head of security at Cross Corp
Chapter 309
Amanda, still trying to process the sudden change, stepped in. “Your manager and Tina tried to humiliate us. They snatched a dress from me after I picked it, saying someone else claimed it. Then Cassandra—who arrived late—insulted me and offered to buy it just to spite us.”Chris added quietly, “I came here for Amanda. We weren’t looking for trouble. But your staff decided otherwise.”Linda’s lips pressed into a thin line. Her fists clenched.“Tina said the man looked too broke to afford the dress,” the manager said quickly, trying to deflect blame.That was the final straw.Linda’s face darkened. She stood up slowly, and with fire blazing in her eyes, she turned toward the store manager who was now visibly shaking.“Shut up,” Linda hissed. Her eyes blazed. “Do you have any idea who this man is?! He could erase your existence with a single phone call. He nearly crushed my entire family’s legacy without lifting a finger!”Tina, who had been inching toward the fitting rooms, froze like

At this point Amanda was completely furious. “ Are you being serious? How can you treat customers in such a rude manner? You’ll take her side,” she finished bitterly, pointing at Tina.Francine tilted her chin upward. “I’m simply doing what’s best for the store. . I don’t care who said what. We prioritize VIP clients here. And I don’t see proof of funds from either of you.” She turned to Chris. “Unless you can produce immediate payment for all those dresses, I suggest you leave before I call the police.”Amanda’s heart began to pound. The threat of involving the police wasn’t something she wanted to risk—not when their reputation was already teetering on edge. “Chris,” she said quietly, touching his arm, “maybe we should just—”“No,” Chris cut her off gently but firmly. “Let her call them.”Francine narrowed her eyes. “I don’t appreciate being challenged, young man.”“I see,” he said quietly. “So, you’re willing to ignore the truth for profit.”Chris’s lips curved into the faintest sm
