Love Unbreakable

Chapter 497 Dying Together Raegan, weakened by the drug and fearful, saw the dagger's gleam as it arced toward her, her muscles tensing as though she were trapped in ice.

In a moment of desperation, Raegan bit her tongue sharply. "Ugh..." The sharp pain sparked a surge of adrenaline. Summoning her remaining strength, Raegan rolled aside, just as the dagger sliced through the air where she had been.

"Bitch, you think you can escape!" Lauren yelled, her eyes wild with fury as she lunged forward again.

The knife descended with violent intent! Raegan dodged, and the blade only grazed her arm, leaving a trail of blood that quickly stained her white garment.

Lauren's demeanor was that of a person unhinged. Clutching the knife, she pursued Raegan relentlessly, her voice shrill with madness, "You're to blame for what I've become! You've destroyed me and turned me into a monster! | will stab you to death! I'll kill you!" The dagger's point stabbed the earth repeatedly, leaving a series of punctures.

Raegan continued to roll away, her wounded arm painting streaks of red on the ground.

"Crack!" With a sharp noise, the dagger broke, its tip snapping off.

But Lauren didn't stop. She grabbed Raegan by the legs, dragged her brutally, and then smashed her head against a column.

"Ah!" Raegan's scream echoed as her head struck the pillar with brutal force.

Lauren exhibited a strange, almost supernatural strength.

When Lauren paused, gasping for air, Raegan used the pillar to propel herself backward, delivering a forceful kick to Lauren.

"Ouch..." Lauren's head collided with the pillar, eliciting a scream. Her hair was instantly drenched in blood, darkening its brown hue.

A hit to the back of the head like that usually would have put someone out cold for quite a while.

Raegan let out a sigh of relief, but to her amazement, Lauren was back on her feet in no time. Lauren recovered with a speed that was startling.

"You're going to meet your end at my hands today! You bitch!" Lauren cackled wildly as she approached Raegan, her face marred by oozing sores, adding to her ghastly appearance.

Before Raegan could even stand, Lauren's hand was clamped tightly around her throat.

Lauren's fingers, thin and bony, felt like they were leeching Raegan's very essence away.

Drops of Lauren's blood fell on Raegan's face, making Lauren seem even more like a creature from a nightmare.

Lauren kept hissing, "Die! Die! Rotten in the hell!" Raegan struggled for air, her sight beginning to blur and whiten.

Suddenly, Lauren released Raegan, yelling in pain.

"You deranged creature! Now's not the time for killing. She's still of use!" It turned out two burly men had intervened, grabbing Lauren by her thinning hair and tossing her aside with force.

Lauren's screams filled the air. "Ah..." Lauren's skin, weakened from prolonged medical treatment, was fragile like overripe fruit. When the man roughly yanked, a large patch of her scalp came off. The agony was unbearable! Lauren writhed on the floor, clutching her head and screaming in pain.

The heavier man, disgusted by the bloody scalp in his hand, threw it back at Lauren's face. Fuming, he shouted, "Quit your screaming! For heaven's sake, shut up already!" But Lauren couldn't stop. Even with her enhanced healing due to the drug, losing her scalp was intensely painful.

"Ah..." Lauren's cries continued as she clutched her head, the pain clearly overwhelming her.

The heavier man kicked Lauren, annoyed, saying, "Silence, you monster! Didn't you hear me?"

The tall man, wearing a hat, intervened to stop the chaos. "Hey, stop it. If she dies now, who's going to take the blame later? The heavier man hesitated and spat out in disgust. "Disgusting creature! Can't stand the sight of her. Might ruin my meals for days." The tall man, equally repulsed, threw his hat over Lauren's face, grimacing. "Cover that up. It's revolting!" Subdued by the kicks, Lauren dared not make another sound.

The tall man kicked Lauren once more, pointing at Raegan, and ordered, "She's not to be touched yet. You better follow orders. Understand?" Cowed, Lauren just nodded.

Lauren, despite her madness, showed an unusual level of obedience at this moment.

Raegan remained calm, silently assessing her situation. Outnumbered and outmatched by the two men and the unhinged Lauren, she knew her odds were slim.

Noting Raegan, the heavier man's eyes lit up. He found solace in Raegan's beauty after witnessing Lauren's disturbing appearance. "Such a beautiful girl," he noted.All text © NévelD(r)a'ma.Org.

*Pretty or not, just watch and don't make a fuss," the tall man cautioned in a calmer tone. "Wait for the car, and once we've moved these two, our work here is finished." Raegan, overhearing their conversation, realized they intended to take her and Lauren to another location.

The heavier man expressed regret, "It'd be a real pity if this chick ended up dead." The tall man, a cigarette hanging loosely from his mouth, scolded the heavier man, 'Save it unless you've got something useful to say." Unfazed, the heavier man shrugged off the caution. "What's the worry? They're just going to end up as unidentifiable bodies anyway." Raegan was horrified by their casual mention of killing. She deduced that their plan was to murder both her and Lauren, likely pinning their demises on Lauren.

Katie was the only person Raegan could think of who would have such intense animosity toward her.

Trying to contain her fear, Raegan offered a deal, "You're doing this for the money, right? I'll pay you five times whatever you're getting." The taller man dismissed her offer with a sneer, citing their "professional ethics." Raegan's desperation grew, her voice filled with a ples. "I'm serious, | can pay you a lot. Please." The heavier man seemed to waver, touched by Raegan's tearful appeal. He responded, "It's not just about the money. If we screw this up, it's over for us."

Irritated by the heavier man's chattiness, the taller man urged the heavier man to keep watch. "Check on the road. Let me know when the car's here." With the heavier man gone, the taller one secured Raegan's bindings once more.

Then, his phone rang.

He warned Raegan and Lauren to behave before stepping aside to answer the phone.

Meanwhile, Lauren, huddled and bloodied in a corner, her eyes suddenly sparked with a vengeful glint. With a swift movement, she surged toward Raegan again, intent on violence. "Die!" But Raegan, who had managed to move her bound hands in front, defended herself from Lauren's wild assault, exclaiming, "Do you want us both to die?"
