Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 1213

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dexter's footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He turned around, his lips tightly pressed together, his complexion a shade of pallor that was hard to discern.

Once again, Arnold raised his gun, his face devoid of any emotion. “So, should I let her die?”

That time, the barrel of the gun was pointed directly at Josie's forehead.
