Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 641

"Don't fight it," he whispered softly, his gaze locked on mine. "Trust me. I'm here, don't be scared, okay?"

I wasn't scared, not really. But never before had I so desperately wanted to be in his arms.

"Okay, you've seen the person. Can we go back now?" I asked, hoping to end this madness.

Samuel's smile faded a bit at that. The woman had a way of softening Gregory, making it clear he couldn't stay.

Perfect for Mark to take him away.

Their goals were aligned, after all.

"Mark and his mercenaries aren't like me," Samuel continued, a hint of warning in his tone. "They follow the money. Pay them enough, and they'll do whatever you ask."

But before Samuel could elaborate, one of his guys rushed in, panic written all over his face. "Boss, it's bad! Garry's gang is making a move on us."

"Garry?" Samuel's face darkened as he turned to Gregory, the joviality gone. "After all my sincerity, this is how you repay me?"

"Take him," he ordered coldly. "Luke, get your men and get this lady out of here."

Mark wasn't interested in wasting more time here.

If Gregory had indeed struck a deal with Garry, he might escape Samuel's grasp. But dealing with Garry was no less dangerous.

"Let go! I won't go with you," I protested, clinging to the helicopter's edge, but my strength was no match for theirs.

"If you keep struggling, my men won't hesitate to turn Gregory into a sieve," Mark threatened, a grim promise in his tone.

I hesitated for a moment before finally letting go.

Gregory stepped forward, even as the mercenaries aimed their guns at him, his determination unwavering.

"Gregory!" I yelled out in fear.
