In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1842

Chapter 1842 I Failed Her

“This is Nathaniel.” Clenching my fists, I kept my eye on Nick so that I could restrain him if needed. “He is the man you are looking for.”

Standing expressionless beside me, Nathaniel had no intention to speak.

With a wary smile, Nick met Nathaniel’s gaze with a gentle one of his own. A short while later, he said, “Do you know that you are responsible for the death of a wonderful woman?”

Unmoved, Nathaniel replied with cold professionalism, “I don’t. But, Scarlett told me that I’ve caused you and your family to suffer. For that, I’m sorry.”

Nathaniel reacted like a remorseless murderer.

If it wasn’t because of my inferior position, I would have given him a forceful slap.

Nick needed a demonstration of sincere remorse, instead of an emotionless bureaucratic response.

Hence, Nathaniel’s answer only served to fan the flames of fire.

Just when I wanted to sugarcoat Nathaniel’s words, Nick had reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a gun.

“Nick, no!”

My scream was futile. The moment the gun was aimed at Nathaniel, Nick had already pulled the trigger.

The resulting gunshot rang out thought the villa.

Unfortunately, Nick was the one that ended up being shot instead.

His unfamiliarity with a gun seemed to have caused it to misfire. The bullet which was meant to fly toward Nathaniel backfired into his right arm instead.
