Chapter 645
Casey pulled out a gun from his waist spinning it in his hand.
“Ethan, you wouldn’t want to leave Nina would you?”
Ethan stared firmly at Casey
*So, you set up Nina and me to be together for eight months just to see if id get attached huh?”
He could see Caseys game, but he couldn’t fathom why he’d play it Casey was threatening him with his own daughter’s life. Was he czy or just plain stupid?
Casey obvioush didn’t see it that way, he looked at Ethan and laughed, full of confidence
“Ethan, you know I’ve wanted you dead for years, right?”
Ethan glanced at him “You cant kill me if he died, the whole Ziegler family would make sure Casey joined him
Casey chuckled while loading his gun
“Of course I cant kill you. But your daughter, and Emilia’s video, they can.”
Ethan’s gaze slowly shifted back to Casey
“What are you talking about?”
Casey finished loading the gun, his finger hovering over the trigger He looked up at Ethan
“used to think you loved Emilia Ithought when she died, you’d follow her Wasted a bloody good plan, but it doesn’t matter.
Casey paused the grin on his face growing darker
“Eight months ago, I found a chip in the necklace Nina often wears Luck had it, the chip contained Emilia’s last words to you, revealing all the truth.
“Then you came to snatch Nina. I thought let you have her Maybe in a fit of rage, you’d kill her Then eight months later, Id reveal the truth and watch you lose your mind. That would be fun
“But i didn’t expect you’d not only not harm Nina but start to like her That was a real bore.
“But threatening you with your own daughter’s life now that’s kind of fun, don’t you think?”
Casey’s words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing massive tipples striking Ethan like lightning
He stared at Casey’s malicious eyes in disbelief, “What did you say?”
Casey pointed the loaded gun at Ethan’s pale face. “I said you’re both stupid and pathetic”
With that he moved the gun to Ethan’s thigh and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The pain of the bullet piercing through skin and muscle made Ethan break out in a cold sweat his body involuntarily buckling.
Biting down hard, he resisted the pain, not letting himself fall. Instead, he knelt on one knee in front of the gravestone, staring at the tomb

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
