Love Unspoken

Ernest tensed up, yanking a gun from his pocket and dragging Quinn out of the car.

Quinn's eyelids drooped. She leaned heavily on Ernest, barely able to stand.

"What's wrong with you?" Ernest tapped her face with the gun, making her head slump onto his shoulder. Seeing this, Ernest laughed angrily. "Even now, you're falling asleep? You must really trust Alexander, huh?" Quinn didn't respond. Her breathing was weak, and without Ernest holding her, she would've collapsed.

An SUV sped up and stopped just a few steps away.

Alexander stepped out alone, standing in front of the car. "I brought the money. Let her go."

Ernest glanced at the car but held onto Quinn. "Show me the money first!"

Alexander tilted his head, signaling him to check.

Two masked men quickly walked over, opened the trunk, and found it filled with silver suitcases. The back seats were packed with cash.

They opened the suitcases and checked the cash inside. Seeing the money, they got a bit excited.

It was ten million dollars. Seeing it was a whole different experience.

After checking, they returned to Ernest. "The amount's about right."

Ernest was excited too. The most he'd ever seen was a million, never ten times that.

Alexander said, "Can you let her go now?"

Ernest snapped out of it, tightening his grip on Quinn. "Not yet. If I let her go now, I can't escape." Alexander sneered. "I came alone. What are you afraid of?"

"Who knows if you have people hiding nearby?" Ernest was alert.

Alexander's eyes darkened. "Ernest, I'll say it one more time. Let her go, or face the consequences."

His tone was icy, making Ernest tremble.

Ernest looked around. He couldn't see anyone, but Alexander's calm look suggested he had a plan.

"You really did arrange people. That makes me even less likely to let Quinn go." Ernest pointed the gun at Alexander. "Move aside!"

Alexander squinted but didn't move.

Ernest shouted, "I told you to move! Can't you hear me? If you don't move, I'll shoot!"

He tightened his grip on Quinn's neck. She struggled to breathe, her vision blurry.

Seeing this, Alexander frowned.

Ernest waved the gun wildly, looking crazed.

Alexander's calm made him more nervous and scared. Under such tension, it was easy to lose control.

"Move aside!!"

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey! Ernest yelled, losing patience. He placed his finger on the trigger, glared at Alexander, and suddenly pulled it.

A loud bang echoed in Quinn's ears.

Hot liquid splattered on her face.

The smell of blood filled her nostrils.

Her eyes widened, looking at Alexander.

Under the bright car lights, he stood there unharmed. A gust of wind lifted his coat slightly.

Quinn slowly turned her head, her eyelashes trembling.

Ernest still held the shooting posture, his left hand gripping her neck. Fear and anger on his face hadn't faded, his eyes wide with disbelief and despair.

There was a bloody hole in Ernest's neck, with blood gushing out..NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

The surrounding masked men panicked, reaching for their weapons.

But before they could draw them, several gunshots rang out from the forest, and they fell one by one.
