As the room filled with tension, Gary could feel the weight of the moment. Alpha Kilian approached, his presence exuding a dangerous aura. “Freeze!” Gary bellowed, his voice echoing with authority.


    Unfazed, Alpha Kilian continued his advance, paying no mind to the dagger poised at Nelly’s delicate neck.


    “I said don’t move! Can’t you hear me?” Gary pressed the knife harder, drawing a trickle of blood down Nelly’s neck.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Alpha Kilian’s eyes narrowed, a sinister glint in his gaze. With a flicker of his tongue against his teeth, he raised his arms defiantly. “I am the one you seek, so what’s the point in holding her hostage? Let us switch ces.”


    Just as Tony and Thalia arrived to witness the scene, a sense of dread filled the air.


    “M-Mommy!” Tony cried out, lunging forward. But Thalia grabbed him, holding him back. “Wait. Let’s see what unfolds.”


    “But-”


    “This man is a criminal. You’d be risking your life by going over there, and he would still have your mother captive. Do you really think you’re helping anyone by rushing in?” Thalia reasoned, her voice filled with caution.


    Tony clenched his fists, a fiery determination burning in his eyes. He red fiercely at Gary. “If heys a finger on my mom, I’ll tear him apart!”


    Meanwhile, Gary turned to Alpha Kilian, a sly grin forming on his lips. “You want to take her ce?”


    “Isn’t it obvious? I can’t let any harm befall my woman,” Alpha Kilian smirked eerily, his gaze never wavering from Gary’s. “Touch her again, and I promise you, I’ll y you alive.”


    Nelly’s lips pursed, her eyes filled with aplex mix of emotions. “This doesn’t concern you. Leave now.”


    “Silence. Just wait there,” Alpha Kilian snapped, ncing at her with a mix of concern and determination.


    Garyughed, delighted by the lovers’ quarrel unfolding before him. He peered at Alpha Kilian with an unsettling gaze. “Why don’t you beg me, then? I might consider it.”


    Alpha Kilian shrugged nonchntly. “Fine. Tell me what I need to do.”


    “It’s simple. Stab yourself with a knife. That would bring me immense joy,” Gary said, his voice tinged with sadistic pleasure.


    Alpha Kilian’s expression darkened.


    Outside the room, Tony’s brows furrowed as he overheard their conversation.


    “Tsk, this is too cruel. It’s like a suspenseful drama,” Thalia grumbled.


    Beads of sweat formed on Tony’s forehead, his body tense with worry.


    “Alpha Kilian…” Nelly shook her head, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and conflict.


    “Why? Are you worried about me?” Alpha Kilian asked mischievously, a yful smile tugging at his lips. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”


    With unwavering determination, he turned his attention to Gary. “How am I supposed to stab myself when you hold the knife? I don’t carry one around with me.”


    “There’s a fruit knife by the bed,” Gary replied, signaling for Alpha Kilian to retrieve it.


    Keeping a watchful eye on him, Gary continued to press the dagger against Nelly’s neck, ensuring Alpha Kilian wouldn’t attempt anything foolish.


    Alpha Kilian approached the bed, his gaze locked on Gary, their intentions clear.


    As he reached the bedside, Alpha Kilian spotted the fruit knife, a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.


    He may be mentally unstable, but he is far from stupid.


    In fact, he’s more cunning than I anticipated.


    With a nod of understanding, Alpha Kilian picked up the knife.


    “Alright, you may proceed. I’ll release her immediately after you’ve stabbed yourself,” Gary taunted victoriously.


    Alpha Kilian’s face clouded over as he stared at the knife, contemting his next move.


    “Well, if you’re too afraid, I’ll just have to kill you once I’m done with her,” Gary sneered, slowly running the de across Nelly’s arm.


    Nelly frowned, her teeth clenched in pain, but she remained silent.


    Alpha Kilian’s eyes widened, filled with anger and determination. Without a moment’s hesitation, he plunged the knife into his abdomen.


    “Don’t touch her!” he warned, his re locked onto the madman.


    “Alpha Kilian…” Nelly gazed at him, her eyes betraying a mix of emotions.


    Witnessing this, Gary raised an eyebrow. “Your love knows no bounds, does it? But I doubt such a small wound would hurt you much.”


    Watching Gary’s dagger dance perilously close to Nelly’s body, Alpha Kilian pierced himself once more, his resolve unyielding. He shot Gary a defiant re. “Are you satisfied now? Or should I do it again?”


    “Hahahaha!” Gary’s maniacalughter filled the room.


    Tony’s eyes reddened as he observed the scene from outside.


    “Oh God, he actually stabbed himself,” Thalia muttered under her breath.


    Hastily, she held Tony back from entering the room. “Call the police. I’ll handle things here.”


    “But-”


    “Do you think you can take him down if you charge in there?” Thalia countered.


    Tony’s eyes widened, realizing his helplessness. “I’ll leave Mom… and Alpha Kilian to you,” he conceded, aware of his limitations.


    A faint smile tugged at Thalia’s lips. “That’s my boy. Now go make that call.”


    Tony dashed off to call the police.


    Inside the room, Alpha Kilian clutched his abdomen, his body drenched in blood. Yet, he remained undeniably alluring, his radiance shining through the grim scene. “Let her go now. Take me instead.”


    Nelly intervened before Gary could respond. “Stay out of this, Alpha Kilian! I refuse to be indebted to you. Leave this ce, now!” Her voice trembled with determination.


    Alpha Kilian smirked, gazing at her affectionately. “We are destined to be indebted to one another for eternity. Neither of us can escape that fate.”


    A red glint shed in Nelly’s eyes at his words.


    “Wow! How deeply in love you two must be. In that case, I’ll do you a favor and rid the world of both of you!” Gary eximed, preparing to slit Nelly’s throat.


    Suddenly, Thalia burst into the room.


    “That’s right! Kill that woman!” she shouted.


    Gary froze, turning his attention to Thalia. His eyes narrowed suspiciously. “And who might you be?”


    Thalia scoffed. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that this woman drove my sister into depression, leading her to take her own life. I havee to avenge my sister’s death today!”


    “She killed your sister as well?” Gary’s voice dripped with pity.


    “It was both of them, to be precise,” Thalia answered, her gaze shifting between Nelly and Alpha Kilian. “This heartless man was supposed to be with my sister, but he chose this woman instead. It was his choice that drove my sister to despair and death. Alpha Kilian Morris and Nelly Jackson, you will pay for everything you’ve done.”


    As she spoke, Thalia subtly conveyed a hint to Alpha Kilian.


    “So, you’ve experienced the same pain as I have,” Gary murmured sadly.


    “Yes, I have. Who knows how many families they have torn apart? It’s time for them to face their reckoning,” Thalia dered with unwavering resolve.


    Gary smiled, satisfied with Thalia’s words. “You’re right. Let’s end them. It’s time to avenge our loved ones!”
