Chapter 134
The helicopter hovered overhead, its powerful blades whipping the air into intense guests that swept over the ground, forcing everyone to shield
Noah lifted a hand to block the blinding wind, cursing under his breath only to be met with a sudden, hard blow to the head.
Audrey clutched the small rock she'd just grabbed and struck Noals again, forcefully enough that he loosened his grip on her. Taking her chance she scrambled up and took off, bolting forward with everything she hail.
"Stop right there, you bitch? Noah yelled, pressing a bloody hand to his head as he chased after her with fury
The helicopter's roar grew louder, closing in. Audrey's vision swam as darkness began to encroach, and she crumpled to the ground.
Through her fading sight, she caught a glimpse of a familiar Egure descending from above and rating toward her
"Alistair ....... is it re
Is it really you? 1... I can't run anymore, she thought, as her legs gave out completely and she sink to her knees.
But Audrey didn't fall to the cold, hard ground. Instead, she was pulled into a broad, warm embrace. A strong arm wrapped around her waist, and a large hand cradled the back of her head, gently soothing her as one would comfort a frightened child. "Don't be afraid. It's over now," he said, his voice soft and reassuring
Audrey's scattered awareness gradually returned. As she recognized his familiar face, her hand crept up, and she clung to his collar as if it were her only lifeline
A wave of unspeakable grief welled up from a within, and her throat tightened, her eyes stinging with tears that wouldn't come out in sound. She could only tremble silently in his arms, tears streaming down her face like a wounded, helpless rabbit Alistair's gaze swept over her torn clothes and the tear-streaked cheeks, his expression hardening, radiating a chilling aura of an

Despite the fury simmering beneath his controlled exterior, be held Audrey with delicate care as if afraid of breaking her fragile form.
"And just where did this little punk come from Touching my woman like that. You are courting death! Let go of her!" Noah shouted as he finally caught up, pointing at Alistair with unrestrained fury.
Alistairs head snapped up, his steely gaze locking onto Nosh through the hazy rain. His eyes were cold as if he was looking at a dead person
Just one look from Alistair sent a freezing wave through Noah's body, leaving him paralyzed with dread.
But Noah, captivated by Audrey's exquisite face, summoned a last burst of courage and sneered. Tm talking to you! woman back over to... Ali?"
to you! Do you
you hear me? Hand my
A muffled shot rang out, silencing everything around. Hot blond began to seep from Noah's lower body, spreading across the ground.
He stared wide-eyed at the gun's dark barrel in Alistair's hand, his face twisted with pain, yet he dared not make a sound.
Ways of agony, humiliation, hatred, and fear washed over him, dragging him down like a drowning man. Noah writhed in the mud like a miserable dog, his pride shattered
Alistair held Audrey close, his arm wrapped protectively around her, and gently covered her ears.
He bundled her up and handed her carefully to Michael, who had arrived moments before. Then, with deliberate movements, Alstag pulled back the slude un has gun and advanced toward Noah.
Desperation flared in Noah's eyes. He broke down, sobbing "Please, let me go! Don't kill me! My father can give you a lot of money, more than you could ever imagine, and you can even have this woman Just please, spare me!" lung with suppressed rage.
"You've just added one mute reason to die, Alistair replied, his voice cold and seething

Sering burstarry was futile, Noah resorted to frantic threats. If you kill me, my
He won't get the chance" Alistairs yo
[`* voice was as quiet as it was deadly. He lifted his finger, poised on the trigger, yet at the last usmanent, tilted the barrel slightly upward, spinning the silver gun rastully around his long linger.
For a split second, Noah's face in up in a lingeful, twisted grin, thinking his threats had worked. But that was slashed when Alistair's impassive volcé tang nut again. "Killing you with a single shot would be far too merciful" Without warning. A Alistair shot forward, slamming his foot brutally into Noulés alulonnen.
"Duci" Noali gaspeil, the pain forcing him backward several feet until his body collided with a tree trunk.

There was no time to scream or 1 ground it down
beg before Alistair was on him again, his boot pressing harshly against Noah's face, leaving bloody scratches as he
Noah was in so much agony he couldn't even scream, blood trickling steadily from his mouth.
Watching from nearby. Michael frowned, unable to hide his concern. This is bad. Mr. Hayes has lost all sense of reason in his rage. If he keeps going. Noah's definitely going to die......."
This scumbag deserves it, no doubt. But if Mr. Hayes were to get into legal trouble over this, it just wouldn't be worth it, Michael thought, hesitant
to interfere
He knew Alistair was on the edge of complete fury, and any attempt to intervene might lead to collateral damage.
Just as Michael wavered, a slender figure streaked past him, rushing toward Alistair.
"Wait don't..." Michael reached out to stop her, but it was too I

He could only watch as Audrey threw herself at Alistair, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, clinging to him with all the strength she had left
