Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1510

The truth that Patrick had been desperately searching for was too heart-wrenching, and he found himself hesitating to take out Ian and Maja. In the end, he accomplished nothing.

Patrick vanished in the blink of an eye, unwilling to utter another word.

Ian pulled Maja back into his embrace, feeling a heavy weight in his chest.

Gunfire continued all around them - a fierce shootout between the Porter clan and K's gang.

K had called in a horde to the Forbidden Island for an ambush, riled up for reasons unknown.

Clutching Maja, Ian motioned for the others to keep close as they hurried towards the secret passage Quentin had disclosed.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, a testament to the unknown number of lives lost on their path.

Upon reaching their destination, Ian made sure Oliver was still with them before they quickly entered the tunnel.

The sound of explosions carried on outside, but they were no longer Ian's concern.

Quentin had claimed this tunnel led straight to the shore of Forbidden Island, where Dylan and Abner's men would be waiting in a chopper.

The night was a total melee, but with Dylan and Abner's guys around, K's forces were held at bay.

Gasping for air at the tunnel entrance, Ian's crew tried to catch their breath, chests heaving.

They'd run the entire way, and even the fittest were spent.

Ian raised his hand, gently caressing Maja's cheek.

"Let's rest here for ten minutes."

The small group promptly collapsed on the ground, with Oliver leaning against the wall, his forehead glistening with sweat.

He gazed into the depth of the tunnel, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

"Once we go through this passage, we're out in the open world, right?"

Ian nodded.

A wry smile tugged at Oliver's lips as he touched his chest over his heart.

His all-in gamble had paid off. He finally had the chance to see what lay beyond their confines.
