Chương 69: Chapter 68

My heart falls into my stomach. Ryder pushes me behind him holding his gun up. I bury my face in his back.

"You must be Ryder! The man Samantha spoke about. Well, not intentionally! Her Assassin, " Max says as he walks into the room sporting a triumphant grin.

He continues. "Why don't you put the gun down? There's one of you and six of us. You wouldn't want them to shoot and accidentally kill my wife, right?" Max looks at me and grins.

We are definitely outnumbered. Ryder slowly lowers his gun.

"Great! Put the gun on the floor and kick it to me."

I put my hand on Ryder. He must feel how hard I am shaking because he puts his hand behind me so I can grab it.

"Today, Ryder!" Orders Max! He is now seething. Ryder does as he is told.

"Good, now grab them!" Max yells.

Two guards grab Ryder by his arms. He doesn't put up a fight. One of them holds me.
