Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion I would
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. Ever since she left her father's office, she felt something strange. What is it? Was this disgusting? Pain? Bitterness? Amethyst couldn't figure out what it was. Even so, the weight of her confrontation with her family still pressed heavily on her shoulders. She never felt like it would ever go away. 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. The silence was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. She glanced at the screen and saw her mother's name. Somehow, seeing her mother's name in a phone call makes her fee

Amethyst was still on the floor, leaning against the door, trying to calm her emotions, when her phone rang again. She frowned because we already had someone calling, but when she saw who it was, it disappeared. She saw Alice's name on the screen and answered it, bracing herself.She knew that her mother had already told him about her agreeing to marry a person she did not know in exchange for her conditions."Amethyst, what did you do?" Alice's voice was sharp with worry and frustration.Indeed, in her family, only her mother and aunt are by her side, her ally. If it weren't for the two of them sharing the sufferings that should have been her when she was little, maybe she wouldn't be here now."Aunt Alice," Amethyst said, her voice calm but weary. Amethyst felt that, after talking to her mother, she was really tired. Even so, she didn't hang up on her aunt because she knew she would be worried. "I made a deal with him," Amethyst said, and as soon as she said 'him', Alice immediately

When Amethyst woke up, she didn't waste any more time.Amethyst stepped into La Xiena headquarters, her movements purposeful despite the early hour. She actually planned to go early because she knew there weren't many people at this time. The building was silent, a stark contrast to its usual lively atmosphere. She carried a stack of documents, the weight of them matching the heaviness in her heart. She made her way to Venna and Maureen's offices, each step echoing in the quiet corridors.Now that she was ready to leave, she couldn't help but feel a heavy feeling in her chest.When Amethyst arrived at their office, she immediately saw Venna and Maureen, who had big eyebags like her two friends. She didn't know if she would laugh at their looks or not. After all, they look like they're too tired.Venna looked up from her desk, her expression shifting from surprise to concern. "Amethyst, what brings you here so early?"Because they know that this is not the time for Amehtyst to enter. T

The next day, Amethyst remembered that she had another reason why she went to the headquarters, which is why she returned early again. Amethyst moved swiftly through the quiet corridors of La Xiena headquarters; if yesterday the weight of documents was in her arms, today it was the weight of what she would say. The weight of the documents in her arms yesterday was almost a mirror of the burden in her heart.She entered Venna and Maureen's offices, her face set in a determined expression. The two women looked up, surprised to see her so early. Amethyst was sure that they would talk about backing out again, so she took the lead."Nope, not going to back up," Venna laughed because of this immediately, Amethyst said."So, no good morning?" Maureen was teasing."Good morning," Amethyst said, and she raised an eyebrow at the two. "What? You haven't slept yet?”Maureen groaned. "Well, you know how much work we had." Maureen looked at Amethyst. "It's definitely worse once you leave," she adde

Amethyst took a deep breath, gathering her strength for what she had to say next. Venna and Maureen, still reeling from the conversation, watched her intently. Both of them were nervous because they felt that their heads would hurt even more the next time Amethyst told them.'No way,' said Venna and Maureen in their minds.Amethyst smiled at them, and this time, her smile seems like a genuine one, not a mask that hides her true feelings. "I want to move on," Amethyst began, her voice steady but soft. This is what she has wanted for a long time, and since the last hope she held on to her love for Dylan has been cut off, Amethyst just wants to be far away from this person. "I need a peaceful life, away from the blood and illegalities. I've had enough of this world."She needed it, but that doesn't mean she will leave it. After all, she stayed in the mafia world for several years, and this is what Amethyst considers the norm in her life.Venna and Maureen exchanged a glance, their eyes r

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. This is the only house that no one lives in, and the owner also lets him live in it because his son is not there to take care of the house. 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. The house wasn't old, but it wasn't the kind of house he wanted Amethyst to live in either. For Dylan, all the best must be given to Amethyst. Amethyst deserves all the best; that's why the house that Amethyst lives in now is not pe

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.

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

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
