CHAPTER 27

I SHOVE PAST people fleeing the restaurant, most of them either crying or screaming, pushing them aside as I race inside. “Mom! Don’t!” I yell to be heard over the noise.

Her head whips around to mine, and Sinner makes a grab for the gun while she’s distracted. The gun veers wildly around, and a shot goes off. The screaming accelerates, and several diners dive to the floor, covering their heads with their hands. My breath stutters in my chest, and my eyes widen in horror as the bullet whizzes through the packed restaurant.

“Shit.” Saint reaches my side, his eyes darting wildly around the room as more diners scream and shout, making a beeline for the exit. The bullet lodges in the back of the bar, narrowly missing the bartender, and he ducks down as he scurries away while bottles shatter over his head, raining alcohol and shards of glass everywhere. “Theo!” Saint roars as the others emerge from the crowds swarming out the door.

“We’ve got this,” Galen shouts.

Mom turns back to her fiancé, pinning him with eyes loaded with venom, as they grapple for control of the gun. Her fingers are curled tightly around the weapon, and I’d challenge any man to pry it away from her. “Take your hand off. Now.” She wets her lips. “There’s no need for anyone else to get hurt.”

“Mom.” I sidle up beside her. “What the fuck are you doing?” I hiss.

“What I should have done months ago.” A dry laugh bursts from her lips. “What I should’ve done years ago.” She presses the muzzle of the gun to his cheek, and a clicking sound rings out as she readies the gun.

“Stop!” I gently clasp her arm. “You can’t do this.”

“It needs to end, Harlow!” she screeches. Her hand shakes a little, and she exudes nervous energy by the bucketful. Sinner looks up at me, pleading for my help. Little beads of sweat dampen his brow, and his Adam’s apple jumps in his throat. In this moment, he’s genuinely scared of her and terrified she’s going to do it. I wish to fuck I could let her, but I can’t.

“I know, Mom. But not like this.” I lower my voice, speaking softly to her as if she’s a child.

“This is the only way.” She sniffs. “Keep your hands up in the air where I can see them!” she shouts, pressing the gun to his temple. I drop my eyes to where Sinner’s hand is going for the gun in his pocket. He’s an idiot if he thinks he’d get away with shooting her before she gets there first.

“Do it,” Saint says, leveling his dad with a stern look.

“Let’s talk about this, sweetheart,” Sinner says, raising his palms, as commotion rains around us.

Saint grabs his dad’s gun from his pocket, not trusting he won’t try it again.

“There is nothing to talk about, you sick bastard.” She shoves the gun harder into his temple, and he winces. “You think you own me. That you can manipulate me and my daughter, well, that ends now.
