Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

We heard a noise from behind where my mom was, but he ignored it. I couldn't even see what was happening since his body blocked my view. I wanted to look, but I couldn't move.

"Don't think of doing anything reckless. I am not someone you can easily deceive," he said, then harshly let go of my face. "Now, answer me. Isn't this a tempting offer?"

I couldn't hold back a scoff. I rolled my eyes and stared at him with intensity, and he seemed puzzled by my reaction, which only made me laugh.

"Never, Mr. Coleman." I spat on his face. "I am not some object you can make these demands of. I will not be loyal to anyone, especially the mafia. If this is the reason why you dragged the woman you once loved into this, you're mistaken. You will gain nothing from me."

I said what I shouldn't have... and did something I shouldn't have.

The atmosphere shifted as his expression changed. I knew he didn't like what I'd said, especially after I spat on his face.

It felt as if the Devil himself was standing in front of me. He was smiling, but anger was evident in his eyes.

"Wrong answer," he said, pointing the gun in the direction where Randall was lying down. He didn't even look at him. "Try to piss me off again, and I'll do this, over and over."

Heintended to shoot Randall, but when we turned to look where he fired, he dropped the gun in shock.

Silver stumbled to the ground, staring at something... while I froze.

"Mom..." Tears fell from my eyes as I looked at her lying on the ground, fighting for her life.

She'd been hit in the chest, and blood spilled from her mouth. I wanted to look away, but I couldn't even move my gaze.

That was the noise we heard earlier. My mom had tried to get to my dad, causing her to fall from her seat.

She had been shot instead of Randall.

"Sapphire... I'm sorry..." she mouthed as she took her last breath.

It happened so quickly that I hadn't realized I was sobbing. My mother and father... They were together in another life now.

"What the fuck did you just do?" I asked Silver, my voice icy as I spoke those words.

He didn't respond, only staring at my mom. Shock and sadness were evident on his face.

"You have no right to cry," I said firmly, seeing tears welling up in his eyes. "You fucking killed her! What are those tears for?! You planned all of this!"

I couldn't accept it. Everything had been perfect... hadn't it? Why was this happening now?

"I wish you'd just killed me instead!" my voice cracked as my sobs filled the room. "It should have been... me..."

My mom... Silver Coleman f. ucking killed my mom.

It was enough for me to shut down. I could even hear Mason calling me as they arrived, but I couldn't even look his way. "Sapphire!"

My gaze remained fixed ahead, staring at my mom and dad. With each second I stared at it, my breathing grew heavier. "Sapphire, get a grip!"

I hadn't realized Evangeline was in front of me, hurriedly untying the ropes on my hands using a knife. She was biting her lower lip, her forehead beaded with sweat.

"I want to die," I said weakly to her. "The ropes are tight. You and Mason will die too if you stay here. Just... let me go."

After I said that, tears began to stream down my face. I had to bite my lower lip to stop myself from breaking down.

The pain was unbearable, having just witnessed my mother get shot... by the one who once loved her the most.

I closed my eyes, recalling my mom's face, always smiling at me.

"Take care at school, okay?"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Her reminders to me.

"I'm here for you as long as you're happy, even though you can be a little stubborn sometimes."

Her unwavering love and support, even through our disagreements.

"You are the reason I found strength to live, even when life was tough."

The sacrifices she made to save me, even before I was born.

Fuck.

"I'll kill you the second I get this off, is that what you want?" Evangeline said, shooting me a sharp look. She looked at the side afterward. "Haze, help me out here! Damn ropes!" Seconds later, Haze approached us, quickly taking the knife from her hand.

With Haze's strength, he cut the ropes in seconds. His left hand brushed my hair gently.

When I glanced up at him, he smiled at me, though there was sadness in his eyes. His gaze told me he would do his best to save me.

I nodded and mouthed 'thank you' to him. He smiled once more before becoming alert again as the sound of gunfire erupted around us. We were all in danger.

Even with Mason's men, we were outnumbered by Silver's forces.

Speaking of that guy, he had no right to cry-he was the one who shot my mom. I clenched my fist, remembering my mother's expression earlier. She was shocked... and hurt. "Go," Haze said firmly as he took position in front of us. "Hide somewhere else. We've got this."

He protected us, pulling the trigger and shooting at those trying to approach us. Our position was dangerous, but Haze didn't hesitate to defend it.

"I can handle it," Evangeline replied, glancing left and right before pulling me in a different direction.

I noticed Haze following us wherever we went.

Gunfire echoed everywhere. Though numb, I could still hear each shot as it rang close to me. Despite the danger, I still couldn't move my entire body. It felt like I was being choked, even though no one was touching my neck. I became lifeless, though I was still breathing.

"Hurry!" Evangeline shouted as she continued to pull me along.

We passed the spot where my dad was lying.

My tears started flowing again. Just thinking of how painful it must have been for my mom to see Randall like this hurt me deeply. Even though she was tied up, she still tried to reach him.

Even after being shot, there was no sign of regret in her eyes.

She loved him more than her life. Was that what love truly meant?

"Mom..." I couldn't help but sob as the memory surfaced.

At that moment, I silently prayed for one of the bullets to hit me. Maybe it would end this unbearable pain.

"Someone's got her, okay?" Evangeline wiped the tears from my eyes. "She'll be fine."

She stabbed it into the neck of a man trying to approach me. "Mr. Coleman already ordered his men to kill you. We need to hurry."
