Chapter 716

«I won't let that happen. I will make sure you survive.

Mitchel echoed in Raegan's mind. Upon reflection, she realized that he never said he would jump out of the car with her in the first place. He was fighting to keep her safe.

Raegan felt like her heart was empty, the agony almost too much to bear.

Then, Matteo's phone buzzed. He seemed surprised. "It's Mr. Dixon!"

Matteo put the phone on speakerphone mode. Shaking, Raegan wavered between tears and laughter. «Mitchel, stop it. You made me a promise..."

Raegan's voice was careful but desperate, trying to make sure Mitchel understood her.

"You promised to be by my side." Fighting back tears, she insisted: "You gave your word, Mitchel."

“Raegan.” Mitchel's voice cut through the howling wind, firm and clear. "I'm sorry. "I can't keep my promise," he admitted.

"No!" Raegan's voice shook. «No, Mitchel, listen to me. I don't accept this Raegan had never acted with such desperation, her screams hiding her fear.

He couldn't face the thought of losing Mitchel. «No, Mitchel, please. Janey… Janey needs you. I beg you, please! Despite Raegan's desperate pleas, all Mitchel could offer her was an apology.

Raegan was about to lose her mind. «Mitchel, hold on. I'm coming to you."

Without waiting for a response, Raegan ran to a car, yanked the driver, slammed the door, and took off. Inside the car there was absolute silence.

The next second, a huge explosion shook the car and the ground.

Raegan stared, shocked and deafened, unable to hear anything for a while. Slowly, she looked up and saw a huge black mushroom forming in front of her.

A deadly silence took over everything.

The smell of explosives filtered through the windows of the SUV, little by little filling the space and telling the raw story of what happened.

When the shaking stopped, Raegan screamed loudly from the depths of her being.

“Ah!” he moaned in agony, banging his head against the steering wheel uncontrollably.

"Lady!" Matteo quickly turned off the engine for Raegan, his body shaking, in disbelief at the event, but he remembered Mitchel's last orders.

Raegan's voice was rough, barely louder than a whisper. “Take me to…”

Raegan was shaking uncontrollably, struggling to even breathe. Her chest hurt so much that it seemed like it was going to kill her.

Knowing her unfinished words, Matteo gently put Raegan in the back seat and began driving.

Less than five kilometers away was the entrance to the sea.

Raegan couldn't take her eyes off the dark water. Was this the right place?
