PopularNovelBriony squeezed her eyes shut as her body plummeted—
Almost in the sinstant, two figures lunged toward her-
The next moment, a strong hand clamped around her wrist, yanking her back from the brink. The sensation of
falling stopped so abruptly it left her breathless.
She opened her eyes. A man's sharp, dark gaze was fixed on her, the corners rimmed red with desperation.
Briony's pupils contracted. "You-you're insane..."
Stewart, dressed head to toe in black tactical gear, gripped her slender wrist so tightly the veins bulged at his
temple. "Bryn, quick-grab my arm with your other hand. Hurry!"
She shook her head, panic rising in her chest. "Let go of me! Ferdinand, he "
Before she could finish, Stewart grunted in pain.
A knife had slashed into the arm he used to hold her. But even then, Stewart's hand never loosened.
Ferdinand crouched beside Stewart, a military knife gleaming in his grip.
"So it's you..." he sneered, voice cold as the grave. "My dear brother. You actually survived."

"At least Bryn understands me."

Blood spattered across Briony's face.
Stewart roared in pain, but still refused to let go.
"Letgo, Stewart..." Briony met his eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"You have to live. Our children can't lose their father too..."
"lI won't let go." Stewart's breath cin ragged gasps, his eyes bloodshot from the pain, but his grip stayed
firm. "Bryn, I'm going to bring you home. | promise..."
"How touching!" Ferdinand's laughter echoed, cruel and wild, as he drove the
blade into Stewart's arm a third time.
Stewart howled. This time, even as he clenched his teeth and summoned every ounce of strength, his grip began
to falter.
He could feel Briony slipping-

"Please, Bryn, think of the

Briony sobbed, nearly choking on her own breath. "Stewart, I—I can't. | don't have
the strength anymore. If this keeps up, we'll both die here..."
"Nina and Maare waiting for you at home, Bryn. Hang on, please—just a little longer..."
Stewart's face was a blur of rain and tears, blood streaming down his arm where he clung to her. His lips were
turning blue from pain and exhaustion.
