Page 99 of Enigma: The Complete Collection
Isaac’s delicious scent engulfs me when he stops to stand in front of me. The barrel of my gun digs into his suit-covered chest as his eyes furiously glare at me. They’re the darkest I’ve ever seen—desolate and broken. My heart cracks from the utter hurt reflecting from his beautiful gaze.
A frightened squeal omits from my lips when gunfire ricochets around the room.
“The next one won’t be a warning.” Alex’s tone is as vicious as the tautness of his face.
After inhaling a shaky breath, my eyes pop back open. I stare at Isaac, wordlessly begging for him to surrender before Alex makes true on his threat.
“Please,” I beg, staring at him as a tear runs down my cheek.
For the quickest second, remorse flashes through his squinted gaze. He seems torn, unsure if he’s coming or going.He’s not the only one.
A shudder runs through my body when he drops to his knees. Although I didn’t hear a gunshot, my panicked eyes scan his body.
I sigh upon discovering he’s uninjured.
Remaining quiet, Isaac places his hands behind his head as Alex instructs from across the room.
When I raise my eyes, I’m met with the confused gazes of several agents watching the exchange between Isaac and me. The only face not showing confusion is Alex’s.
He instructs me to arrest Isaac.
In a blur of tears, I holster my gun and place my hand on Isaac’s tense shoulder. “I’m sorry.”
I lower him onto the ground until his torso hits the mahogany dance floor in his nightclub. The loud thump his defeated body makes when it hits the ground adds more nicks to my already crumbling heart.
In an instant, several male agents scurry toward us. My heart shatters more with every brutal knee and harsh elbow they inflict on Isaac’s still body, but he remains completely motionless.
Not a noise seeps from his lips as he’s cuffed and read his rights. His gaze only leaves the ground when I stop to stand in front of him.
His eyes are livid and broken—they appear almost soulless.
“If you’re going to be accused of something, you may as well do it,” he mutters through gritted teeth.
