Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Marriage
The next morning, Amethyst sighed when she got up. That's why she doesn't want to go home to her family's house and sleep here; she doesn't get rest but tiredness.The family gathered around the breakfast table. The smell of eggs and bacon filled the air, but the atmosphere was nothing but tension.Amethyst is still unable to get used to the atmosphere of the whole family when they are together, especially when eating. He doesn't know because sometimes Amethyst feels like she's at her funeral, and sometimes she feels like she's at a business meeting.Amethyst sat quietly, picking at her food, while Carl's voice cut through the room like a knife.Still, nothing has changed. It's early morning, but the mouth still doesn't stop scolding Amethyst. This is also one of the reasons why Amethyst is so tired of this family.Besides being biased towards men, they also don't care about her. Well, Amethyst doesn't care about them either, but it's just tiring to act according to their wishes."Ame

The tension at the breakfast table was palpable. Well, it's always like this whenever they eat together. If it was possible, Amethyst wouldn't want to eat with them anymore. Amethyst sat with her head down, her eyes reflecting a sense of hopelessness that did not go unnoticed by her aunt, Alice. Her aunt, Alice, has always been keen. He is more observant than Carl. Maybe that's the reason it's still alive. Her keen eye made her live this long.Seeing her niece's distress, Alice decided it was time to intervene.She has been silent several times, but now she won't let her say anything. Alice does not want to repeat what happened to her other two nieces."Carl, this isn't fair," Alice said, her voice steady but firm. He couldn't understand why his brother had the same attitude as their father. "You can't place this burden on Amethyst's shoulders. She deserves to choose her own path, just like anyone else."Of course, that's because he knows the reason why he wants to marry Amethyst to s

The family gathered around the dining table for a meal, the tension from the previous night lingering in the air. Well, no one else knows about the conversation between Amethyst's aunt and her father, which is why others are wondering about the tension around them.Well, that's not new either, because Amethyst is here and eating with them.Amethyst sat quietly, pushing her food around her plate as she tried to gather the courage to speak. She is not afraid, so she has no courage. Amethyst is not afraid of herself but of her mother and aunt. After all, when she leaves here, those two girls will be left at home.She had spent the entire day thinking about what she needed to say, and now, as her family chatted around her, she knew the moment had come.She can't postpone it anymore because her father and three brothers might get the right time and chances.Carl, her father, sat at the head of the table, his demeanor as stern as ever. He was talking to Larry about their business, and as us

Because of what Amethyst said, the dining room was silent. The surrounding area was immediately surrounded by tension after Amethyst's declaration that she would not allow them to be controlled.Immediately, Carl's face, which had been relatively calm before, changed. Carl's face was a mask of rage, his fists clenching and unclenching on the table.Amethyst couldn't believe she had a father like this, and Carl couldn't believe he had a daughter like this either.Both of them think like this."How dare you defy me?" he hissed, his voice low and dangerous.Because of his power in the family, no one defies his wishes. Also, because of the family's teaching, whoever is the patriarch has strength in the family. Now that Amethyst had declared that she would not control them, she felt like she had been slapped in the face.No one has ever done this to him.Before Amethyst could react, Carl's hand shot out, striking her across the face. The slap echoed through the room, and Amethyst staggered

The tension in the house was palpable. Almost all the maids had no intention of speaking or approaching them, even though they knew that there was already a lot of food scattered on the dining table. They also don't like it because they don't want to be embroiled in family trouble, and they might even be the ones to turn their temper on them.After the confrontation at the dining table, Amethyst retreated to her room, her mind racing with thoughts and emotions she could no longer suppress. Sometimes she doesn't really understand this family, and sometimes Amethyst doesn't know where she fits in this family. She knows that they don't care about women; she knows that for them there is nothing for them, but now, now, do they have the courage to hurt?The pain and frustration that had been building up inside her for years finally reached a breaking point.She couldn't take the hypocrisy and cruelty of her family any longer.She should not be condemning this anymore.She stormed back into

Venna and Maureen sat in the back of the taxi, the city's lights blurring past the windows as they hurried to Amethyst's apartment. The air was thick with worry and anticipation. They couldn't help but worry because, after he left and told them he had to go home to his family house, Venna and Maureen didn't receive any news. Now that Amethyst was back in her apartment, they could breathe a little easier.Amethyst's unexpected text message had been brief but alarming, hinting at something serious. Because Venna and Maureen know that when he texts about his family, he doesn't mean well. They hadn't heard from her since she left for her family's house, and now they could only imagine what might have happened.Amethyst was definitely not in the mood. They have never seen her cry, but they know that Amethyst is only human and hurts too, even if she doesn't show it to them.Venna glanced at her phone, rereading Amethyst's message for what felt like the hundredth time. "Maureen, what do you

Seeing that they could not prevent this, Venna placed a reassuring hand on Amethyst's shoulder, sighing. "We'll make the arrangements." She smiled. "The fight is tomorrow night, so you have some time to prepare. But are you sure you're ready for this? It won't be easy." Venna raised her eyebrows.Venna and Maureen know that even though Amethyst smiles at them, even when she is struggling or hurt, she is still strong enough to fight. That's why she was nicknamed 'Nightmare, because she was like a nightmare to those who fought her.Amethyst nodded firmly, her expression resolute. "I'm ready. I need this, Venna. More than ever."This is Amethyst's only way to calm down; that's why she firmly said that she was ready.Maureen leaned in, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and confidence. "We trust you, Amethyst. Just promise us you'll be careful."Amethyst smiled, a flicker of her old spirit returning. Amethyst can always count on Venna and Maureen. No matter what happens, whether it's her

It didn't take long for the incident in the lower-ranking fight of the mafias to become the talk of the entire underground. It wasn't long before Amethyst was invited to fight in the underground arena. She didn't use her usual mask, but the one she just bought at the corner.For three days straight, Amethyst had been a relentless force, participating in fight after fight without taking a break. Amethyst seems tireless because she doesn't want to rest. Venna and Maureen watched from the sidelines, their worries growing with each passing bout. They don't know if they are doing it right or not. Because Venna could see that Amethyst still wasn't calming down, and they knew that at this point, something really happened in their family house that Amethyst didn't like. Even if they wanted to know about that, they couldn't force Amethyst to tell them.They knew Amethyst was pushing herself too hard, trying to vent the pent-up emotions that still raged inside her.As the fourth day drew to a c

In order for them to talk more properly, Amethyst immediately took Dylan to where he was staying. Amethyst led Dylan down a narrow path to a small, cozy house nestled among the trees.

Because the house needs to be taken care of so that it doesn't get damaged immediately.Because it was the afternoon that Dylan arrived, the change in the sky could be seen immediately. The evening sun cast a warm glow over the village, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. Dylan rarely gets to see it, so as Amethyst leads Dylan to where it's staying, Dylan can't help but be impressed.When they got to the house, Dylan looked at it.

Now that he knows that Amethyst is still alive, his determination has never wavered, and his hope has raised even more. He never stopped looking for Amethyst. For seven grueling months, he poured a lot of resources and effort into finding Amethyst; even one day, he didn't stop until he got any information about Amethyst's whereabouts.With many sleepless nights and a lot of information coming in, most of it is not true. However, one day, one of his private investigators called him and said that he had the same information. A private investigator said that all the leads he got led him to a small, secluded village far from the city. The private investigator has not yet confirmed if it was true or not, but he wanted Dylan to know about it. Since he's not updating Dylan on everything he had to say, Dylan felt that his words were even more solid than those who reported him with wrong information.When Dylan received the tip from this private investigator about Amethyst's location, he did n

When Dylan brought Nancy and Alice to the front of the headquarters, he immediately returned. As he turned away, the smile he was giving to Amethyst's mother and aunt disappeared. Right now, he is happy because there is a chance that Amethyst is still alive. Now, all he had to do was find it.He will really do his best to find her.Dylan went to the floor with the elders by his side. Those old people are the ones who have always supported his decision. However, if they could do something, he wouldn't hesitate to punish them as well. Punishments are the same at all levels. It's more severe in the higher ranks because they need to be controlled.As Dylan walks the dimly lit corridors of La Xiena Mafia, he can't help but think about the things he should be doing. This is also one of the reasons why he will talk to those old people. To also get their suggestions and ideas.When Dylan was approaching the office room of the old geezers, he knew there was someone there. It was because the so
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion DNA test
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. He stood at the edge of the scene; his eyes were red and filled with wild, desperate hope. He knows that there is a good chance that Amethyst is gone, but he is still clinging to the hope that Amethyst will not leave him.It didn't take long; his heart almost dropped when he saw firefighters holding a stretcher with a body wrapped around it."No," Dylan said softly. His whisper made him tremble, and he shook his head violently. "No, it can't be her," he added.When they got down, they couldn't help but ask Dylan's face for meaning. When t
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Please save her
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. Just because they killed everyone who went against Dylan's wishes didn't mean that everything was fine.When Nathan and Alex arrived, they found Dylan at his kitchen counter, a bottle of whiskey in his hand. Dylan looked at them, and they didn't know what to feel. Dylan looked up at them with bloodshot eyes and a haunted look on his face."The fuck? What the hell are you doing right now, Dylan?” Nathan

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
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion We failed you
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. If you look at it, when his eyes are closed because they don't respond, he looks like he's comatose. If it was open, her eyes stared vacantly into the distance, as if her mind were traveling as far as her eyes. 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. It is also said that Dylan asked some of his subordinates to go and retrieve some important documents in Jonathan's office that Jonathan did not find. 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
