Finn dragged Sean tight against him, the blade gleaming at the boy’s throat. “Clear the way. Prepare me a car–or I’ll kill him.”

“Do as he says.”

Baron’s voice was calm, cold as an arrow of ice.

The guards scattered to obey. Whispers rippled–everyone knew by now. The once–respected second–in–command was holding his leader’s son hostage.

It left a bitter taste in

every mouth.

Finn’s own heart twisted painfully. He looked at Baron, eyes dark. “Mr. Gunn, I never thought it would come to this between us.”

“Save your words. Yvonne’s death is on you. You colluded with outsiders and cost Phantom her life. And now you dare lay hands on my son. Our brotherhood is finished, Finn. Next time we meet, I will not spare you.”

Baron didn’t raise his voice, but the silence around him made every syllable strike like a hammer. To all who heard, it carried more weight than any bounty.

Sean stood stiff in Finn’s grip. He was mischievous at times, but he knew the difference between play and death. He didn’t dare struggle. His little body shook, but he forced his chin high–for his sister, for his mother.

“Finn,” he whispered, “could you… move the knife a little farther away?”

The question twitched at Finn’s mouth. Even now, the child tried to bargain with calmness.

The car arrived.

Finn yanked Sean toward it–but before he could shove him inside, a figure burst forward like lightning.

Instinct made Finn fling Sean aside and lash out with a savage kick. His boot connected with

flesh.

A cry split the air.

The figure crumpled, skidding across the ground.

Sean’s eyes

widened, horror flooding him. The one who had rushed in–was Natalie.

She had promised Baron she would retreat. But she couldn’t. She had hidden just beyond the corridor, watching. When Finn’s knife pressed too close to her son, her heart clenched.

She hadn’t trusted Finn’s restraint. Not when everything he stood to lose weighed heavier than

reason.

She had gambled on one chance–the moment to snatch Sean free.

And she had paid the price.

Pain tore through her battered body, every nerve aflame. Yet seeing Sean stumble clear, Natalie managed a trembling smile before the world spun and darkness claimed her.

Baron arrived just in time to see her broken form strike the floor. His vision went red.

“Finn! I’ll kill you!”

The fury in his roar seemed to shake the air itself. The temperature of the entire villa dropped to ice.

Finn flinched. Without another word, he leapt into the waiting car, slammed the accelerator, and vanished in a blur.

Baron’s voice was a death knell. “Issue the kill order. Even at the ends of the earth, Finn dies by my hand.”

He dropped to his knees beside Natalie. Blood covered her, her wounds torn open, flesh raw. For a moment, his own breath caught, as if the sight of her pain stole the air from his lungs.

“What are you waiting for? Ready the operating room!” His roar jolted everyone to motion.

Shauna’s face was tight, her voice trembling. “Mr. Gunn… in this condition, I’m afraid she—‘
