Chapter 108. Life Is Unpredictable

Alexander's POV

My heart pounds in my chest as I drive toward the place, following the live location Edward sent me. I have shared the location with the cops as well.

Fear and desperation stir within me as I think about Alice, alone and vulnerable in that dangerous place. The thought of losing her, the love of my life, is unbearable.

As I burst into the warehouse, my worst fear becomes true. Jackson stands there with a gun in his hand, a twisted expression of anger contorting his face. But what I see next shocks me to my core.

Alice is there, trembling, her eyes wide with terror. My heart aches at the sight of her in danger.

And before I can do something, a gunshot rings out, and my heart stops beating for a second.

But what I see next shocks me to the core.

Edward, the brother I’ve despised for so long, steps in front of Alice, taking the bullet meant for her.

“No!” I scream, my voice filled with pain and disbelief.
