All Chapters of Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

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

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

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

As Amethyst, Venna, and Maureen exited the meeting room, the tension they left behind was palpable. They don't know how to handle it. After all, even though this is not the first time that Dylan has spoken ill of Amethyst, this is the first time that there seems to be something different about Amethyst, which is why they feel differently. The remaining members of the La Xiena Mafia exchanged uneasy glances, trying to make sense of the situation.What should they do? Because they don't know where the problem is, that's why they don't know how to help.Nathan, a perceptive and often quiet member, decided to break the silence. Nathan sighed and looked around. "Listen," Nathan began, drawing everyone's attention. When Nathan saw that their attention was on them, he continued, "Amethyst went to her family's home not long ago. Maybe that's the reason why she's been so off lately. We can't blame her if she's this way, can we? ? After all, he doesn't tell us what's going on in his family now.

The hospital hallway was quiet except for the occasional beep of medical equipment and the soft murmur of voices. This is not the first time they have stayed at the hospital, but they still don't feel comfortable here. Venna and Maureen sat outside Amethyst's room, their exhaustion evident in their slouched postures. It seems they just want to wake up Amethyst and send her home to her apartment. They had barely slept, keeping a constant vigil over their friend.It didn't take long before they heard footsteps. The sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor, drawing their attention. Because it was early in the morning and late at night, everyone was asleep, so everyone heard their footsteps. Nathan, Alex, and other members of the upper echelon of La Xiena Mafia approached, their faces etched with concern. Dylan was noticeably absent.They knew that Amethyst was strong and that she didn't just get stabbed. That's why, when they received Venna's call and said that Amethyst had be
