Chapter 614 My Only Choice
Since I had recognized Colin, he took his black mask off and tossed it aside. "Is he alive?"
Shawn? I quickly nodded. "Yes. I'm very sorry he imprisoned you. Really sorry. Please, can you save him?"
Colin was my only hope. Even though we used to be enemies, and even though Shawn had him locked up for a
year, he still was my only hope now.
Colin kicked Shawn. "Are you sure he's alive? Looks dead to me, though."
I stared at his foot and held my fury back. "Please, can you save him? You know you're the only one who can."
Colin looked at me. "You want me to save him after what he did to me? Even if I wanted to, I'm not even sure I can
save him."
Shawn was heavily injured and unconscious. Leaving this place would take a long time. He was in dire straits, and it
was highly possible that he wouldn't be able to receive treatment in time.
I held Shawn, and then the man beside Colin impatiently said, "Just kill them and get this over with."
My eyes went wide. "Kill us?"
Colin grinned. "All thanks to you. K and I have been searching for days. Thanks to you bringing him here, we can

sleep with me." Colin still spoke Ruslian as fluently as ever.
I held Shawn tightly and shook my head. "He won't die. You can't hurt him!"
The man named K blurted, "And how are you so sure?"
Colin said, "She's born to money and gets everything she wants. She's also Shawn's wife as well as the head of the
Xenos Family. She has plenty of confidence, alright, but look at her now. She's a damsel in distress. Poor thing."
K said, "I can see why Shawn fell for her."
Colin continued, "I know. How about you let us f*ck you? We'll let him go, then."
I paled. "As if. Watch your tongue. We'd rather die than agree to that." If I agreed to that, Shawn would never
forgive himself if he could get through this ordeal. I knew him. I would rather die in this case.
"Are you sure you want to be that headstrong?"
I shook my head. "You don't understand our love."
"Love is nothing in the face of survival." Some things are more important than survival.
Colin stared into my eyes. "Fine, I can save him, but you need to sign an agreement. We'll take him away, and you
can't ever look for him or try to get back at us, and you need to pay us handsomely."
"You want to take him away from me?" I muttered.
"Duh. It's not like I have any use for you, and my employer's order is to kill Shawn. We're basically going against
orders and there will be hell to pay, so of course I'm demanding a reward. We're spending the money to hide and
treat him. Erase him from the face of this world."
K frowned. "You're stepping out of line again."
Colin patted K's shoulder. "Aw, don't be so cruel. We used to be colleagues. Saving him is par for the course.
Besides, we don't know if he'll survive. He's mortally wounded."
"I don't want to be apart from him." Never.
Colin shrugged. "Your choice. I don't mind him dying here. We won't even have to do anything but wait. His survival
is none of my business."
He's making me choose, and he knows what I'll choose. If Shawn was taken away, he had a chance to survive, but if
he stayed with me, he would die.
With hope, I asked, "Can you take me with you? I won't bother you. I just want to be with him." Shawn's body was

Impatiently, K said, "Just get this over with."
Colin pushed him down to the ground. "Calm down, lad. Just get some rest, will you?"
Suddenly, Colin crouched down before me. "K's a killer. His order is to kill Shawn. He's only letting Shawn live
because I saved him once. Don't make him angry and make your choice now."
Colin sounded like he wanted to help, but I was still on guard. Aside from Shawn, I wouldn't trust anyone, but I didn't
have a choice. Holding back my sorrow, I asked, "Will he live? Will you really save him? You aren't lying, are you?"
Colin answered with a question, "So what if it's a lie? This is your only option. Otherwise, you can watch him die."
He was right. This was my only choice. I gritted my teeth. "Fine. I'll do it."
Colin whipped out a pen and a notebook and tossed them over. "Then draft an agreement. Say you'll let us take
Shawn away, give us good reward, and never look for him as long as you live."
"You know this is meaningless, don't you?" I will look for him, no matter what it takes.
Colin smiled. "It's not for you. I'm keeping this so a certain someone won't bite my *ss." He sighed. "I don't want to
get locked up again."
As I wrote the agreement, I asked, "Will he live?"
Once again, Colin answered with a question, "You know the answer to that, don't you?"
