All Chapters of Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Maureen and Venna were just going to the conference room, where, out of nowhere, Dylan called a meeting. The two do not see any reason why he is calling a meeting, and they think there is only one reason for this: the loss of Amethyst's documents and proof of their existence in their system.Well, Venna wasn't surprised that Dylan found out, but they were both surprised because it took so long before they noticed.One week.A week before, they noticed that all the documents, information, and anything related to Amethyst were gone, and now, in the middle of the night, Dylan called a meeting. They don't have a war right now, which is why Venna is sure that this is about the loss of documents and information regarding Amethyst.Well, they are ready to be questioned and interrogated by Dylan; that's why they are not nervous. It was also his fault that Amethyst made this decision.When Venna and Maureen arrived inside the conference room, they immediately felt the heavy and tense atmospher

The day Amethyst didn't want to come has come. Even though Amethyst didn't want to move, she got up from her bed and started doing her daily routine. Her mother and aunt are also going to the engagement, so she is not that nervous.The divorce between her mother and father is finally settled. Because of the power of money, it is processed quickly. Meanwhile, her aunt did not ask for anything from her brother Carl. It was because her mother had something left for her. Well, only the three of them knew about it, so they weren't worried about Carl finding out either. After all, it is also a large amount.Amethyst sat alone in an empty room, her heart a battlefield of resignation and simmering anger. She couldn't help but stare at the void. Being in a daze somehow makes her feel sane. If she wasn't in a daze, Amethyst felt like she was going to go completely crazy. The air was heavy with the weight of the impending ceremony—a union that was less a celebration and more a grim contract. The

After the meeting, Venna and Maureen lingered in the office, their nerves still frayed from the tense atmosphere. They turned on the TV, as was their habit, to catch the news and see if anything relevant to the mafia world or their operations was being reported.The others didn't speak because this was what they were used to doing with women in their mafia. There are only three women in the upper echelon of La Xiena, so they let them do what they want as long as it doesn't harm La Xiena's interests.Now that Amethyst has quit, there's only Venna and Maureen left. Even though Amethyst's position is vacant, they still have no intention of replacing Amethyst. After all, Amethyst has been with them since the beginning, and even though she has quit already, she still has a place in it.They immediately felt bored when they watched the usual news on TV. Nothing has changed; most of it is still about the government. The usual headlines flashed by—political scandals, economic updates, local c

Amethyst sat on the edge of her bed, the room cloaked in the soft darkness of the night. She felt like this was all her dream—no, a nightmare.The hum of the city outside was distant, almost dreamlike, as she stared at the packed suitcase by the door. She couldn't help but feel the weight of tomorrow pressing down on her, making her chest tight with a mix of emotions she could barely contain.Sure, she doesn't want to get married. However, if this is the last chance to make her mother and aunt feel safe and free, then she'll do it. She'll do it even if it will cause her freedom.Well, that's not the only reason. One of the things that Amethyst is holding on to are Dylan's last words. Yes, it hurts, but if this is the only way, then maybe that's okay. Amethyst has gaslighted herself many times just to cheer herself up because, otherwise, she would have run off with her mother and aunt a long time ago.Maybe also, at this time, they are wanted, and they are like criminals being pursued

The grand hall was filled with the soft murmur of guests, the glint of crystal chandeliers, and the quiet rustle of expensive fabric. This is the most anticipated event in Amethyst's father's life. With the number of benefits he will get after marrying Amethyst, he will really wait for this day to come. Not only that, he also did everything he could to watch over Amethyst because he knew that even if she agreed, there was still a chance that she would run away.For Carl, he felt happy. It's good that her daughter has gotten used to him.Amethyst stood by Jonathan Reid, her soon-to-be husband, in a fitted white gown that shimmered with every movement. Despite the grandeur of the event, her eyes searched the crowd with cold innocence. Jonathan Reid doesn't know why he sometimes feels like someone is watching him, and when he turns his eyes, there is no one else around but Amethyst.At that time, Jonathan doubted if there was anyone else around besides the two of them. He couldn't give A
