Marcus raised his hand in surrender and didn't move as the man had commanded. He had never been this scared in his life and never felt so vulnerable witnessing the woman he loves being held hostage. But for what reason? Was she being kidnapped? What exactly was going on?! The last thing he could do was attack the unknown criminal when he literally had a weapon that could kill.
Another man arrived. He had followed the sound of the gun signaled to come here.
Marcus thought the man holding the gun must have been distracted by someone else's presence, so he attempted to make a move, but the man swiftly cocked his gun and aimed it at him, shouting, "Stay back or I'll pull the damm trigger!" Marcus froze immediately.
"Marcus, don't fucking do anything! He'll kill you!" Ann warned, tears streaming down her cheek. She can't afford to lose him again. She won't be able to bear the pain.
