Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Sole Victim
Amethyst stood in her apartment, feeling the crushing weight of loneliness bearing down on her. She tried reading, cooking, and even cleaning again and again; her apartment almost sparkled, but still, Amethyst couldn't get rid of the sadness in her heart; nothing could shake the overwhelming sense of isolation.Amethyst sighed. "What if I'm banned from the headquarters now? I won't be working," Amethyst said to herself.Finally, unable to stand it any longer, she decided to go to the headquarters, even though she knew she wasn't supposed to be there.Amethyst is also sure that Dylan will not tell Venna that he sent her to the headquarters because it will cause trouble. With Venna and Maureen's behavior alone, Dylan's head will surely hurt if he says that Amethyst can't be at the headquarters.But, of course, because of her stubbornness, she will still go there. What if he sees Dylan there? He will not work.Amethyst suddenly felt warm in her heart. Well, if she thinks that Dylan forba

Unknown to Amethyst, Venna, and Maureen, their conversation had not gone unnoticed. They didn't think there was anyone on their floor. After all, Venna knew that Dylan had left. Who would have thought it wasn't?Dylan, Alex, Nathan, and Marcus had been passing by and heard the raised voices. At first, they were supposed to leave, but they heard Amethyst's voice, so they stayed a little longer to listen.Dylan, ever the skeptic, couldn't resist listening in on the conversation. After all, he told Amethyst not to go to their headquarters. However, when he heard Amethyst's pain and frustration, something compelled him to intervene.Dylan pushed the door open abruptly. He couldn't listen anymore.On the other hand, when the door suddenly opened, Venna and Maureen turned, startled, while Amethyst, caught mid-tear, froze in place.'Shit! ' they said together in their minds."Dylan, what are you doing here?" Venna demanded, her protective instincts kicking in.Who wouldn't be surprised to se

As soon as Dylan left, Amethyst's composure broke completely. Even though her tears were falling when she was in front of Dylan, now it's different. Her sobs grew louder, her body shaking with each breath. She doesn't know how else to calm herself down. It's like all the pains she's suffered in the past years, all the hardships—it's like all these are coming out as her tears. Tears that she couldn't put into words.Venna and Maureen, stunned and deeply concerned, gathered closer, trying to offer solace.They were shocked by what Amethyst was showing now. Yes, she cried in front of them, but not this bad. Not much."Oh, Amethyst," Venna whispered, her voice choked with emotion. She had never seen her friend like this—so broken, so vulnerable.She wants to cry because she feels how much pain and how much Amethyst is struggling with what is happening in her life. She could feel that just based on Amethyst's crying.Maureen's eyes flashed with anger. She was also crying, but the anger she

After what felt like an eternity, Amethyst finally managed to calm herself down. She did not think that she would lose her composure and calm in front of her two friends. Well, at least Maureen and Venna are in front of her, not just anyone who is not close to her.She wiped away her tears and forced a smile, but Venna and Maureen could see the lingering pain in her eyes. Venna and Maureen feel like they're going to have shadow trauma because of Amethyst's smiles. They exchanged worried glances, feeling utterly helpless.In the end, they both just held their breath."Thank you, both of you," Amethyst said, her voice steadier now. He stood up and added with a smile, "But really, it's not a big deal. Dylan is right.”If other people could see and hear Amethyst now, maybe they would think that she is a strong woman who doesn't let the word love be an obstacle to her. But for the people in front of her, this is not the case.Venna frowned, her concern evident. Amethyst's mindset cannot be

The cool night air brushed against Amethyst's face as she walked back to her apartment. Even after she calmed down, she still couldn't help but feel pain in her chest. Each step felt heavier, laden with the weight of her recent confrontation. Amethyst felt that if she didn't hurry, something would happen. To distract her mind, she took out her phone and typed a message to Venna and Maureen, her fingers moving mechanically:To: Bestie Ven; Bestie Mau;Hey, I just wanted to let you know I made it home. I'm okay, really. You don't have to worry about me. Thanks for everything tonight. Good night."Message sent!When she saw that her message had been sent, she slipped her phone back into her pocket. The apartment building loomed ahead, a silent and lonely refuge. The place that knows her better, she feels, at this time, is further away than normal. As she unlocked her door and stepped inside, the familiar surroundings offered no comfort.He took a deep breath and smelled the familiar smel

Amethyst stood outside her father's office, taking a moment to steel herself. This is her decision, and it will not change. Well, if something bad happens that can change her decision, then it must be that something has happened to her mother and aunt, which is why she is doing this now.Amethyst took a deep breath. This is the first time she goes to her father's office, and because of this, she has no right to step here. Amethyst flinched at what she remembered. Truly, her family is really one of their own kind of shameless, egotistical men.Many looked at Amethyst and wondered why she was here. They knew Amethyst because they had seen her several times at some important banquets in their company, but they also knew what her position was in the family and company—none. They didn't know if they would feel sorry for Amethyst or not, but when they looked into Amethyst's eyes, there was something in their minds that said it was wrong to feel sorry for Amethyst right now. It was because o

Carl's eyes burned with a mix of anger and frustration as he stared at Amethyst, who stood defiantly before him. He really never liked his daughter. As much as possible, she wanted to get rid of them. However, now, this is not the case. Even though he hated them because they might surpass him, they still use him. For Carl, women should just stay out of work. They should be at home, not at work. He clenched his jaw, the muscles in his face twitching with the effort to maintain control.'Calm down.'Carl took a deep breath after he said it in his mind. After all, he can't lose control now. If he loses control, the consequences will not be good. Not only to him but also to their future plans."Wait here," Carl finally ground out, his voice barely more than a growl. He didn't want to listen, but he couldn't do anything, which made him even more annoyed and angry with Amethyst. After all, this would mean that Amethyst would take the lead in this conversation. "We need to discuss your..."

Amethyst's hand trembled slightly as she unlocked the door to her apartment. Until now, he still couldn't get rid of the inexplicable feeling in her body.

Even if she gets married, it won't go away.She closed her eyes before she stepped inside, closed the door behind her, and leaned against it, taking a deep breath to steady herself.With the number of problems Amethyst has in her life, she doesn't know which one she should prioritize.Amethyst was just silently looking into the void while her mind was very confused.

When the fire was extinguished on the floor where Amethyst's ward was, leaving the smoky ruin, they were sure it was safe. When the firefighters entered, Dylan didn't give up, so they didn't do anything but put on the firefighters' protective gear. They knew it was illegal, but they couldn't do anything because it was Dylan.Even so, when he arrived at the very floor of Amethyst's ward, he was not allowed inside the building because it was still hot.

When Dylan came out of Amethyst's room, his heart was heavy with conflicting emotions. He clenched his fist and couldn't help but feel the pain. He took out his phone and dialed Nathan and Alex's numbers. His fingers were still trembling. He wanted to be happy, but he was still worried.When they answered, he barely managed to get the words out of his mouth. "Meet me at my condo," he said, his voice hoarse. "I have something to tell you guys."When Nathan and Alex heard this, they didn't hesitate to go to Dylan's condo. With what is happening now with Dylan, they really need to observe.

Amethyst hesitates to enter Amethyst's room in the hospital owned by their mafia. It was in the middle of the night, and he always visited him at a time like this. He felt that he couldn't visit Amethyst in the morning because he couldn't face Amethyst's mother and aunt. He knew that even though they knew the reason why Amethyst agreed to get married, even though Dylan knew that they wouldn't blame him for this, with his conscience, he couldn't help but feel that these were all his fault.He felt like a coward, like a man who had failed her in every possible way.Take a deep breath before opening the door. He opened it very gently and stepped inside. The room is as gloomy as it was before and was only dimly lit by the light from the moon outside that entered through the window.Dylan also immediately saw Amethyst; as usual, she was still sitting and staring out the window. She is staring outside with a distant look, her mind seemingly lost in a far-off place. It was like she wasn't st

Two weeks.Two weeks passed, and Amethyst's situation was still the same; nothing had changed. She was still trapped in her own world. The other one of the doctors, if there is anything that can bring him back to reality, is if he is heard or given what he wants. But no one knows it.For two weeks, the only thing sustaining nutrients in Amethyst's body were the IV drips. Amethyst has lost weight, and her face can no longer look like it used to. He changed too much.Her once vibrant presence that could bring energy to everyone was like a bubble that suddenly disappeared; it was now a ghostly shell.

Unseeing and unresponsive.When Nancy and Alice found out what happened to Amethyst, when they were able to leave their hiding place, they i
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion I'm sorry, I was late
Dylan stared for a few moments at the lifeless bodies of Jonathan and the woman who died for him. Both of them lay crumpled on the floor, but Dylan had no intention of changing his position. Dylan only stood in front of them with a sneer on his lips. Even though he didn't feel like winning, he still couldn't help but be sneered at.Jonathan's face, once twisted in anger, is now frozen in shock and pain. Of course, Dylan didn't give him a chance to recover from his emotions. Miranda's face, however, looked soft and as if it were ready to die."Pathetic," Dylan muttered, shaking his head and mockingly looking at them. He knows that he has also committed many sins, but these two people are much worse than him. That is what he thinks. "He loved her enough to let her die for him, but he still married another woman." Dylan shook his head and then looked emotionlessly at the two bodies lying on the floor. "No respect at all."Dylan ignored it and started walking away from Jonathan's corpse.
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion It's over
If you look at Jonathan's entire mansion, it shows its destruction. Some expensive items were broken, and some furniture worth millions was wasted. Anyway, Dylan didn't care about it. All that was on his mind was to save Amethyst. Meanwhile, some of his staff are regretting it because they can benefit others if they sell.Of course, they are still in the right frame of mind to not use things that their opponent has outgrown. However, they wanted to sell it so that they could have extra money.In one part of the mansion, the dim light of the burning mansion cast flickering shadows on the walls. It's obvious that Dylan has no intention of leaving anything in the mansion.

And of course, it was led by L.K., the strongest spy of the La Xiena Mafia inside the La Victima Mafia.Dylan was standing in a corner. Dust and smoke filled the air, and
