Chapter 69 Price For Love

• The gunfire outside was relentless, each shot a sharp crack that vibrated through the car’s frame, echoing in the confined space. The glass trembled under the impact, the sharp sound of bullets ricocheting off the armored shell reverberating in Eve’s ears. Her pulse was a frantic drumbeat in her chest, and her hands were shaking as she gripped the seat, trying to stay low.
• But Antonius, despite the blood trickling down his face, his knuckles white against the steering wheel, was calm. Too calm for what was happening. Eve could feel the tension in his muscles, the way his whole body was coiled tight, trying to keep control of the car, trying to keep them both alive.
• The car swerved again, and Eve could see the bullet holes forming in the glass, the cracks spider-webbing across the windows as the relentless barrage continued. She could hear the screech of the tires, the howl of the engine, but it was all drowned out by the thundering sound of the gunfire.
