The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1590

And they still had Reese to worry about, who could turn on them at any second.

Sensing the officer's quiet resolve to give up, Zeke stopped arguing. Instead, he threw himself into the flames to tear the man free.

Fire licked at his clothes, but he moved as if he couldn't even feel the heat.

The officer's legs were completely dead. Zeke hauled him out of the wreckage, and the man dragged his mangled, bloodied legs across the dirt, rolling frantically into the ditch to put out the flames.

Zeke threw himself to the ground, rolling hard to smother the fire eating at his own jacket.

A deafening roar tore through the air as the cruiser erupted in a massive fireball!

The shockwave rattled their bones. The survivors lay in the dirt, gasping for air, purely thankful to still be breathing.

But a split second later, the sharp crack of a gunshot shattered the silence, proving the hit squad hadn't gone far at all.

They had been waiting. Watching them struggle, survive, and then...

A bullet tore through the air, aimed squarely at the center of Reese's forehead.

In a heartbeat, the young officer with the crushed legs marshaled the last ounce of his strength and threw his body over Reese.

Reese was unharmed, but the officer took the fatal hit!

Watching the young cop he had just pulled from the fire sacrifice himself to protect a terrorist, Zeke's face contorted in absolute fury.

He dug the dead officer's phone from his pocket and found Stephen's number.

"Captain James, we're under heavy fire. We need immediate medevac and backup!"

Having Stephen call dispatch would be infinitely faster than trying to explain their coordinates to a dispatcher.

Zeke then reached down and unholstered the fallen officer's sidearm. When the sniper fired again, Zeke beat him to the punch, dropping the shooter with a single, lethal shot.

A seasoned recon specialist, Zeke's marksmanship was flawless.

One shot, one kill.

Seeing his partner drop, the driver of the hit squad's car slammed on the gas and fled, too terrified to stick around.

Zeke had seemed completely unkillable. They had thrown everything at him and still failed. The mission was officially botched!
