Chapter 145 Sacrifice

• Mia held her breath and maintained a brave face as she stared down the barrel of the gun pointed at her head. Henry's finger began to press on the trigger. She closed her eyes, saying a silent prayer as memories flooded her mind—moments spent with her family, her children, and... her husband. In that instant, her only regret was not telling them one last time how much she loved them.
• But before Henry could pull the trigger, a deafening crash echoed through the room, followed by a barrage of gunfire. The thunderous sound seemed to come from the front door being violently broken down, and the ensuing chaos—screams, shouts, and the heavy thud of many footsteps—suggested that a large group had stormed in.
• Henry was startled and he forgot to pull the trigger as he whipped his head around toward the men behind him.
