The entire riverside, are plunged into a dead silence.
Michael is not the only one who is unsure about Aaron's request, but also Franklin.
His face, compared to the initial panic when he saw Elaine being held up, now, gradually sank and frowned tightly.
Although said Darnell had promised him back with his life to keep Elaine safe.
But when it really comes to life and death decisions, to know, he will actually do.
Not only them, but even Ariel narrowed her eyes slightly, waiting for his answer.
However only a few seconds later, two voices sounded at the same time.
"Yes."
"No!"
One for Darnell and one for Elaine.
He looked to Elaine, eased his tone, and reassured her, "Elaine, don't be afraid, trust me."
Elaine shook her head desperately, her face full of tears: "Don't ......"
Aaron said, "Tell all your people to leave."
Darnell side-eyed, the assistant immediately stepped forward and said, "Master of Riverside!"
His voice was low and cold: "Go."
Soon, all of Darnell's men backed off and disappeared down the river.
Darnell looked back at Elaine and spoke in one word: "Tell her to come over here."
Ariel's pistol deflected to indicate, "Let's go."
Elaine stood there without moving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarnell whispered, "Elaine, come here."
Elaine huffed, wiped the tears from her face, and walked toward him.
Darnell stared at her intently, his thin lips pursed.
However Elaine had just taken a few steps when she was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder.
The gun that was in Ariel's hand also came into Aaron's hand, and he put it impartially against the back of Elaine's
head and looked at them and laughed: "Did you think this would be the end of it? Why should I exchange with you? I
said, hold the chance in your own hands to have a chance of survival."
Darnell said in a cold voice, "I say again, let her go."
Aaron said, "Do you now know how powerless it is to watch the person you love most, the person you are closest to,
the person who matters most, die in front of you?Bob killed your father, you killed him that's it, why did you kill my
mother! She didn't do anything wrong!"
Aaron latent in the heart of the anger completely vented out, hand tightly clenched gun, veins obvious.
With that, he snickered again, "Darnell, woe to the family, you are a Master of Riverside, do not even understand
this rule."
"Those are my rules." Darnell stood there, his tone without the slightest warmth, "If you touch a hair on her head,
everyone around you, will pay the price for it."
Aaron sniffed and there was a moment's pause.
Darnell is referring to his sister-in-law and aunt, his current adoptive parents.
He said, "They have nothing to do with this, and what's more, I've arranged for them to leave City H. It's impossible
for you to find them."
It was also his initiative to go to Switzerland in the first place.
They only thought that he was studying over there.
Darnell said, "Then try it."
At that moment, Ariel suddenly spoke up, "Vincent is not here."
Aaron frowned and didn't say anything.
He snapped Elaine back: "It doesn't matter, it's come to this anyway, and I don't care how much further you can go,
but if she dies, you should suffer more than I do."
After the words, they had retreated to the river.
Elaine's voice was a little hoarse: "So you approached me on purpose, from the beginning?"
Aaron sniffed and laughed silently, "You should ask him if he regrets sending you to Switzerland, otherwise how
would I have had the chance to get close to you."
"Aaron ......"
"That's not my name."
His real name is Aaron Thomas.
Immediately after, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you are willing to leave here with me
and never see him for the rest of your life, I can also not hurt you."
More painful than watching the person you love most die in front of you, should be knowing that she is still alive,
somewhere in the world, but spend a lifetime unable to find her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElaine said, "I'm not going anywhere."
She continued, "It doesn't matter what you think, but I've always considered you my best friend, and if you can stop
now and end this, I'll pretend nothing ever happened."
"You pretend that nothing has happened, what about him?"
"I'll talk to ......"
"That's enough." Aaron interrupted her, "Do you know or not, your life is in my hands now, whether you live or die is
up to me, who are you to negotiate with me."
The cold muzzle of the gun was pinned to the back of her head as he spoke, and Elaine shuddered between breaths
as she closed her eyes and let the tears cover her entire face.
In just under a day, the world seems to be turning upside down.
Yesterday she was making desserts for Aaron and Natasha to eat at the dessert store, and he offered to hire her as
a dessert chef at his family's hotel.
This evening, he was still playing up his temper and told her to come downstairs and pick him up.
In the twinkling of an eye, he was already pointing a gun at her.
This dream today, it seems, never woke up.
Aaron looked to Darnell and spoke again, "Or how about this, you show a little sincerity, okay. I'll only give you three
seconds, if after three seconds, your arm is not broken, it's hers."
"One, two ......"
However, the second voice had just opened its mouth when a gunshot had come.
Darnell, gun in hand and blood dripping from his right arm, looked at him coldly, "What else do you want."
Aaron did not expect him to be so unhesitant, froze and then laughed, "Go on, it's only one arm, there's still a leg."
