Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547

"You want me to leave you and escape on my own?"

Catelyn felt helpless and pathetic as she suppressed her aching wrist. She wanted to leave with Cedrick if she could, but the kidnapper had a gun.

"The boys are too young to lose both parents. Haven't you been saying how you want to give them a better life? You can only do that if you manage to get out of here!"

Fury burnt hot within Cedrick as he hissed, "And what about you?"

"Just tell them that I'll always love them." She lowered her head as tears scrolled down her cheeks. Her heart felt as though it was torn apart as she readied herself for death.

Cedrick stared broodingly at her.

He had underestimated her; he never imagined that she would be capable of such a 'righteous' act.

'How dare she?' He thought.

The tension around them grew, and Catelyn was holding onto his shirt to the point that it became horrendously wrinkly as she prepared herself.

"Just fix that bad temper of yours and love the boys twice as much in my place. Go, Cedrick. I'll cover you."

"You think you can just run away from me like that?" He grabbed herby the chin and tilted her head upward. "I'll tell you now: You are mine, alive or dead. The only words they can carve onto your gravestone will be 'Missus Mason'! Doesn't matter if we stay or leave—we're sticking together!"

Catelyn was stunned by the determination in his voice.

His tone became increasingly dominating at her silence. "Even if I manage to get out of here, what am I supposed to tell the kids?

That I left their mother to save my own hide?"

She stared dazedly at him and thought, 'Is he staying with me?'

Just then, the kidnapper finally broke the silence and shouted, " Stop hiding; I already see where you are!" He slowly got closer to the stone wall but was worried that he might miss. "Cedrick

Mason, I only need that woman. Leave her here, and I'll let you go! " He offered.

Catelyn stared intently at Cedrick, not even hesitating upon hearing the offer. He never planned to give up Catelyn, even under such life-threatening circumstances...

She could not help but reflect on whether she had been too harsh on him.

After a few moments of silence, she grabbed onto his hand and smiled. "Alright. If we can't get out, then we'll die here together."

"You've underestimated your man," he said confidently and snatched the dagger from Catelyn's hand.
