Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine Read Online Free

Chapter 553: The nausea bubbled in her throat.

Fighting the urge to vomit, she raised the gun, the sweat slipping from her fingertips.

I can do this, she murmured to herself as if trying to convince her trembling limbs.

Following the sequence, she was supposed to aim at Kylo, the next participant.

But hesitation rooted her to the spot.

She did not want to gamble with the one-in-a-million chance of survival or death.

The thought of pulling that trigger and potentially ending the life of the president of Muisvedo made her freeze.

If Kylo were shot, if she, Melany, killed him, shed be signing her own death warrant.

Andres and his enforcers would come for her without mercy, and the numerous power factions within and beyond Muisvedo would rip her apart.

This city was a pit of vipers, ready to strike at the first sign of weakness.

This understanding made her hand quiver uncontrollably as she kept the gun raised.

Her muscles ached from holding it aloft, the dull pain quickly turning into a full-body tremor.

Kylo, in contrast, who the gun was trained on, looked unfazed.

His voice, deep and composed, cut through her panic.

Miss… Discover new books gαℓησν????ℓs․com Johnson, dont be so tense.

Melany couldnt reply.

Her mind repeated one warning like a drumbeat.

How could she relax at this moment? It was highly possible that she would die! Why did these lunatics readily agree to this twisted game? The glances from those around her weighed as heavily as the ocean, pressing down upon Melany.

With dread gnawing at her resolve, she knew there was no way out but forward.

She decided to take a gamble.

She steeled herself, clenched her jaw, and squeezed her eyes shut as she took the plunge and pulled the trigger.

A sharp click echoed, the unmistakable sound of a misfire.

It was another empty shot.

Its… its over, she gasped, breath ragged with relief.

When she finally opened her eyes, Kylo was still there, unharmed, his expression unreadable.

The realization that she had survived sent her heart racing, and her knees nearly buckled beneath her.

Before she could fully process the moment, Kylo took hold of the gun, his movements deliberate as he raised it.

Seems todays my lucky day, Miss Johnson.

Now, its your turn.

Just because the revolver had spared him didnt mean it would be so kind to her.
