The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419

“Give your wife to me.”

The moment the words left his mouth, the temperature in the room plummeted, the silence turning sharp and suffocating.

Lance’s expression hardened into ice, his dark eyes staring Lawrence down with lethal intent. “Lawrence, you better think very carefully about what you just said.”

Lawrence just grinned, flashing his teeth. “I know exactly what I’m saying. Give her to me. If she’s my woman, none of those lowlifes will ever dare touch her. Who in their right mind crosses the Eagle Organization?”

Lance’s voice dropped to a deadly register. “Sounds like you don’t want your organization to exist anymore.”

Lawrence looked genuinely delighted. “Are we going to war over her? Does the winner get to keep her?”

He practically bounced up from the sofa, vibrating with sick, manic excitement.

He was completely unhinged.

Nathalie stared at him in disgust. “I’m not a trophy. I don’t belong to either of you.”

“Wow!”

Lawrence gasped, clapping his uninjured hand against his thigh. “I love the attitude! It makes me want you even more!”

If only she had been that decisive back then.

Maybe she wouldn’t have ended up a mangled pile of flesh on the pavement.

Lawrence’s eyes stung, but his crazed smile only grew wider. “Mrs. Lance, just dump him and be with me. I swear on my life I’ll protect you. Over in my territory, absolutely no one would dare look at you wrong.”

“That depends on whether you live long enough to leave this country,” Lance snarled. In a blur of motion, he drew a gun and leveled it straight at Lawrence’s head.

demanding she run away with him.

Was his brain entirely short-circuited?

Lawrence blinked. Suddenly, genuine tears welled up in his bright blue eyes, spilling over with heartbreaking misery. “Why won’t you pick me? I promise I’ll take good care of you!”

“You literally accepted a contract to murder me. Why would I ever trust you?” Nathalie snapped coldly.

Without hesitation, Lawrence slapped himself hard across the face. Fat tears began rolling down his cheeks. “I was wrong! I’m so sorry, okay? Please don’t be mad at me!/Just pick

me!”

Tears streamed from his striking, almost impossibly beautiful eyes. Crying like that, he looked pitiful enough to invoke a twisted sense of sympathy.

Nathalie was utterly paralyzed with shock!

Why on earth was he crying?!

“Don’t look at him,” Lance warned coldly. “He was crying exactly like this when he hacked his siblings’ arms and legs off.”

Nathalie was speechless.

She scrambled fully behind Lance’s back, her mind totally blank.
