Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1337

King stood in the truck, his eyes scanning the scenery outside, his voice calm and steady.

“You used me and the Lynch family to take down that base. We helped you destroy it. For years, those base folks have meddled in Brielle’s life, and I never held it against you. Now you’ve been tricked by me once, isn’t that enough to call it even?”

Irene stood at the front of the truck, her position giving her a higher vantage point. She had been searching for a place to rest forever, but this barren land was far from what she desired.

She even found herself envying Kenzo’s fate, wishing everything could go back to the beginning, to be buried at sea, dissolved into nothingness—a fitting end.

She unfastened the throwing knife from her wrist, examining it closely in front of her.

Jaired stood beside King, also looking out over the land.

They were about to cross the fence, having delayed for over a day and night, and nobody could afford to wait any longer.

King had been tracking Brielle’s movements, noticing her circling the same spot, obviously stuck somewhere.

Though there was no immediate danger, there was no telling if her mental state would start to falter. They needed to reach her side quickly.

The truck slowly moved forward, inching closer to the fence.

Nearby, Bryan stood watch in a guard tower.

As the truck drew nearer, he squinted, ready to command his men to fire, but froze upon locking eyes with the woman at the forefront of the vehicle.

Familiar conversations flooded his mind.

“Boss, you sure you want me to go?”

“You’re defying my orders?”

“001 would never dare.”

Gazing at that silhouette, Bryan felt his body heat up. Was he falling ill?

His cheeks flushed with heat, spreading down to his neck.

His men awaited his command, but seeing him stunned in place, face flushed, they were taken aback.

“Bryan?”

Snapping back to reality, Bryan felt every cell in his body clamoring, buzzing with excitement.

“Bryan, you’re all flushed. Got a fever?”

Bryan quickly turned away, not wanting his unusual state to be seen. He even placed a hand over his wildly beating heart.

Damn it, what was happening with his heart? It felt as though it was about to leap out of his throat.

How bizarre.

How eerie.

“Bryan, are we still firing? They’re about to breach.”
