Chapter 89
Inside the abandoned factory, all three of them got even more agitated when they saw I’d come alone.
Ryan was swinging a steel pipe, his eyes completely bloodshot as he screamed at me.
“There she is? Thought you were gonna let your precious boyfriend die p>
Blake moved in front of him, locking eyes with me: “Madison, we let him walk out of here, and you come back where you belong. Things go back to normal”
Kai just stood behind Gabriel in complete silence, pressing a hunting knife against his neck.
I kept moving toward them, step by calculated step.
“Back to normal?” I stopped and laughed – this harsh, bitter sound. “What normal? You mean the life you three systematically destroyed p>
I started pacing, stalling for time while my words hit them where it hurt most.
“Jesus, look at yourselves. You’re like three fucking animals p>
“All this bullshit about being family, about me being your brother. When have you ever actually treated me like one p>
“You sabotaged my future because you couldn’t handle not controlling every aspect of my life p>
“You threw away your own lives because you’re narcissistic idiots who thought you were untouchable p>
“And now you want to drag me down with you p>
Each word came out colder than the last, designed to cut deep.
“You never gave a damn about me as a person. You just wanted a servant who’d clean up your messes and make you look good p>
“Someone who’d sacrifice everything so you three could coast through life without consequences p>
“Tell me I’m wrong p>
Those words completely shattered their last psychological defense.
Ryan lost it completely: “Shut the fuck up! It wasn’t like that p>
Blake went white as a sheet, looking like he was about to collapse.
The knife Kai was holding against Gabriel’s throat started shaking uncontrollably.
This was the moment.
BANG!
The factory doors exploded inward.
SWAT officers poured in from every direction, assault rifles trained on all three of them.
“FREEZE! POLICE!” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ͟.net
My brothers went into complete shock, their weapons clattering to the concrete floor.
They were tackled to the ground and cuffed before they could even process what was happening.
As they were being dragged away, all three turned back to look at me one last time.
Gabriel had his arms wrapped around me I was completely unharmed.
For the first time, I saw genuine despair and regret in their eyes.
They started crying like broken children who’d finally realized there was no way out.
But this world doesn’t offer do overs.
Since they were repeat offenders now facing kidnapping and assault charges, all three got life sentences without parole.
This time, they’d spend whatever was left of their lives behind bars, paying for everything they’d done.
Case closed.
Gabriel and I had our wedding a month later, right on schedule.
On a sunlit garden terrace surrounded by friends, he slipped the ring onto my finger.
He leaned close and whispered: “Welcome to my world – you’re safe here forever p>
Looking into his eyes, seeing all that love and protection, I smiled for the first time since my rebirth – genuinely, completely happy.
The debts from my past life were finally paid in full.
My future with him stretched out like an open road.
My real life was just beginning.
