To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 936 Idiot

After Zeke and Jenny had gone back into the building, Luke cocked the gun up, grinning in glee as he gazed at Alec. "Start groveling, and I just might give you a quick death, Alec!" Alec glared at him, cursing, "Fucking idiot."

"What did you say?!" Luke yelled, not expecting Alec to be so arrogant even at a time like this. Wasn't he worried he'd die?

Alec ignored him, turning to Evan instead. "Truce?"

"Truce." Evan nodded. Better to bring Jenny to safety first before getting Alec to die.

Gunshots immediately rang out, and if not for one of Luke's men pulling him to the side at the very last second, he would've instantly gotten hit.

"Fuck! Kill them all! Now!" Luke roared.

War immediately broke out with casualties on both sides, though everyone stayed away from the mansion where Zeke and Jenny were in. Meanwhile, Jenny listened to the gunfight outside while her heart stuttered with each bang.

Could Alec and Evan escape from it unscathed?

"Do you think Alec will make it out alive today?" Zeke suddenly asked.

Jenny shot him a look. "Of course."

She trusted Alec.

"Hmm. Why do I feel otherwise?" Zeke chuckled. If Alec could survive that commotion outside, the Fausts would never go to anyone else's hands save for his.

"Is Stephanie in the other building?" Jenny inquired.

"Yes. Why? Planning how to save her?" Shouldn't Jenny be more worried about saving herself right now?

"I'm sure no harm will come to her by your men, yes? She's no extraordinary figure."

Zeke didn't answer that question, merely smiled.

Stephanie, on the other hand, was just as tense from hearing the gunshots outside the room. What was happening, she thought frantically. Why were there people shooting?

She crept to the window and looked outside but saw nothing. It seemed like the fight was limited to the space on the other side of the premises. She gritted her teeth and wondered if the guards outside her door had left too. She'd be able to escape then.

With that in mind, she went to open the door.

"What are you doing?" One of the guards standing outside questioned, his expression menacing.

Stephanie cleared her throat. "What's going on? I keep on hearing gunshots."

"It's none of your business. Now get back inside!" The man slammed the door shut in front of her, stopping her from leaving.

Stephanie sighed and went to sit back down. She couldn't calm down anymore, especially after seeing Alec run past in that short minute the door was open.

Did Jenny ask Alec to save her?

The more Stephanie thought about it, the more guilty she felt. She'd never be able to forgive herself if Jenny and Alec got hurt because of her.

Out in the gardens, Alec and Evan were now hiding behind some cover.

"If this goes on, neither of us is gonna make it out alive," Evan snapped, shooting behind him before turning back to Alec.

"Don't worry. We'll be alright." Alec seemed confident, as if he'd already prepared for the worst.
