Chapter 624 He Did not Deserve to Be Her Man At All (1/2)
Both sides were at a stalemate. The sky above turned gloomy and the once calm sea water turned turbulent again, as waves beat against the hull of the ship.
Looking at the man who was frozen like a statue because of her threat, Tina smiled with great satisfaction and said, ”What? Don't you want to save her?”
Jacob glared at the woman with an angry scowl on his face. He held the gun in one hand and clenched his other fist so hard. His nails dug deep into the palm of his hand.
”Let her go, and I'll let you go.”
Mark found respite from Jacob's words. But just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Tina who was standing next to him.
”Give me one reason why I should believe a word that comes out of your mouth?” Tina flapped her red lips arrogantly and her eyes were bereft of any fear. ”You can save her, if you just do as I say. Don't worry. It's nothing complicated. Actually it's quite simple.”
Tina slowly pointed her gun towards Emily's chest.
”Jacob, kneel down and beg me for forgiveness. Beg to me, and if I am happy, maybe I'll let her go. What do you say?”
”Tina...” Mark looked at the boats that had them surrounded and realized that they were clearly outnumbered. All he wanted from this was to escape with Tina alive. He didn't care whether Emily was dead or alive.
Jacob might not be willing to let them go once he had managed to ensure Emily's safety. Mark would have to take the next best opportunity that would present itself to them.
”Mark, shut up.” Tina suddenly lost her temper, feeling embarrassed by Mark's display of weakness. She no longer called him brother this time. ”If you were afraid of dying, you should not have got on the boat with me. It's too late to regret now.”
Mark pursed his lips into a straight line and said in a very low voice, ”I am not.”
His words, however, were blown aside by the strong winds, as if they had never been spoken.
Mark wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid of losing Tina.
