100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Seventy…

~~*****~~

Bang!

The sound of the gunshot echoed through the cramped space, sending shockwaves through the tense atmosphere.

"Mom!" Ethan's voice trembled with fear as he desperately called out to Jane. His young heart pounded with dread, fearing that the gunshot had found its mark on Jane.

However, to everyone's astonishment, it wasn't Jane who grunted in pain. Instead, it was Phoenix who let out a pained cry. The gun slipped from his grasp as he clutched his wounded shoulder. In a whirl of confusion, he spun around, only to find himself face-to-face with a cold-looking man standing several meters away, a determined glint in his eyes as he aimed his weapon squarely at Phoenix.

The sudden turn of events left everyone in the ambulance stunned, as the balance of power shifted dramatically, and the unexpected savior emerged from the shadows. It was Nathan Sparks. He came on time to rescue Jane and Ethan.

Moments earlier, Phoenix had been entirely consumed with the task of capturing Jane and securing Ethan's removal from the ambulance, leaving him oblivious to the approaching vehicle from behind. In a twist of fate, it was Nathan who recognized the opportunity and acted swiftly. With a sense of urgency, he quickly exited the vehicle, his hand instinctively closing around the grip of his gun.

He didn't hesitate to shoot Phoenix. Fortunately, Nathan was a sharpshooter. Even from that distance, he managed to hit Phoenix, stopping him from shooting Jane.

Bang! Bang!

Nathan fired again, making Phoenix drop to the ground and roll over to dodge the bullets. Using his left hand, he picked up his gun and exchanged fire with Nathan. Nathan took cover using his car. Phoenix grabbed that opportunity to escape and flee.

His mission had been compromised. Who would have thought Jane would suddenly wake up and Nathan Sparks would arrive to rescue his son and Phantomflake?

Seeing Phoenix running away from the scene, the two members of the King Stallion also jumped out of the ambulance to follow Phoenix, leaving Jane and Ethan behind. The driver, on the other hand, started the engine as he saw his comrade running away from the scene.

With lightning reflexes, Jane carried Ethan as she jumped out of the running vehicle. Jane instinctively embraced Ethan as she let her body fall to the ground, protecting Ethan with all her might.

Thud!

Jane let out a pained grunt as her body collided with the unforgiving, rough pavement. Despite the searing discomfort that surged through her, the pressing urgency of the situation left no room for pain. Her sole focus was on ensuring Ethan's safety.

"Mom... are you hurt?" Ethan's voice trembled with genuine concern, tugging at Jane's heartstrings with his unwavering worry.

Jane managed a reassuring smile despite her discomfort. She gently stroked the boy's back, her own body pressed firmly against the cold ground. Ethan rested securely on top of her, their intertwined positions a testament to her unwavering determination to shield him from harm.

"No, sweetheart, I'm fine," she replied, her voice laced with warmth and determination. "How about you? Are you okay?"

In the midst of adversity, the bond between Jane and Ethan grew stronger, as they found solace in each other's presence amidst the chaos and danger that surrounded them. Both of them were willing to protect one another.

It didn't take long for the echoing sound of rapidly approaching footsteps to reach their ears, drawing ever closer with each passing second.

"Ethan! Jane!" Nathan's voice carried a tone of deep concern, laced with a palpable sense of relief as he closed the distance. He reached out his right hand, offering it to Jane to help her rise from the unforgiving ground.

"Dad! You're finally here!" Ethan's eyes sparkled with delight upon catching sight of his father. The warmth of his father's presence washed over him, a beacon of hope in their dire circumstances. 

It was a familiar reassurance that Ethan had been yearning for since the abduction incident had transpired. He had always known, deep down, that his father would come to their rescue, and that faith made him fearless despite the danger they were facing.

At that moment, Nathan's instincts kicked in, and his body moved with an almost magnetic pull, drawing both Jane and Ethan into his powerful, protective embrace. As his arms enfolded them, a wave of relief surged through him, washing away the fear and uncertainty that had plagued him during their separation. The sensation of their presence, safe and sound, was an overwhelming balm for his worried soul.

On the other hand, Jane's body initially stiffened in response to Nathan's sudden, unexpected gesture. Caught off guard, she momentarily froze, her heart pounding with a mix of emotions. She hadn't anticipated this heartfelt embrace, and it stirred a complex swirl of feelings within her. 

Beneath the initial surprise, there was a profound sense of reassurance and care that flowed between them. Jane's guarded exterior slowly melted away as she realized the depth of Nathan's concern and the warmth of his embrace, forging a connection that transcended words.

But then again, her memories from the past resurfaced, tarnishing this otherwise beautiful moment shared between Jane and Nathan. She gently pushed Nathan away and slipped out of his embrace. Her fingers clutched onto Nathan's arm as she frantically searched for a particular tattoo.

Jane experienced mixed emotions when she discovered that Nathan lacked the specific tattoo on his wrist. This revelation only meant one thing: the man she had encountered in her memories was not Nathan. Instead, it was the leader of the King Stallion gang, disguising himself as Nathan.

She found herself torn between conflicting emotions. On one hand, she felt relieved that Nathan hadn't betrayed her trust as the real Sizzling August. However, the realization that the man she had spent the night with at the hotel was, in fact, the leader of the King Stallion Mafia left her with a queasy sensation in the pit of her stomach. A raging emotion surged up deep inside as she clenched her fists.

'Now that I'm awake and have recovered some of my memories,  it's time to settle the score," Jane declared to herself with determination. Her gaze hardened as she mentioned names. "Monica... King... Just wait. I will ensure you both pay for everything you've done to me."
