100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 797  Her Only Choice

Jane\'s eyes were fixed on the kidnapper\'s car, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly as she pushed their vehicle to its limits. The engine roared, and the scenery blurred as they sped through the industrial area.

Nathan, seated beside her, was readying his gun, eyes narrowed with focus.

"I\'m going to shoot their tire," Nathan muttered, his voice a mix of tension and resolve. "Be careful. I don\'t want Mia getting hurt. She\'s inside the car," Jane pleaded, her concentration unbroken. Her foot pressed harder on the accelerator, the speedometer climbing steadily.

Ethan, strapped in the back seat, clung to his seatbelt, his eyes wide with a mixture of fear and admiration for Jane and Nathan. It was so rare for him to witness his father and his Mommy Jane work together like this. He felt like they were shooting an action movie. "Mom, be careful," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the roar of the engine.

Jane nodded, giving Ethan a reassuring smile. "I got it, Baby. We are going to rescue Mia." She knew the risks, but the stakes were too high to let fear take over. As they closed the gap, she saw her opportunity. With a swift, calculated maneuver, she swerved the car, positioning it alongside the kidnapper\'s vehicle.

"Now, Nate!" she shouted, her voice cutting through the tension. Nathan rolled down his window, the wind whipping through the car, and aimed his gun at the kidnapper\'s vehicle. He fired, the shot ringing out loud and clear. The bullet struck the rear tire, causing it to blow out with a loud bang.

Tire\'s Screeching sound echoed!

Vincent\'s men\'s car swerved violently, and the driver struggled to maintain control. Jane took advantage of their disarray, accelerating and pulling ahead before cutting sharply in front of them. The driver was forced to brake hard, their car skidding to a halt to avoid a collision.

Nathan fired another shot, this time aiming for the front tire.

Bang! Bang!

Another hit. The car was rendered immobile, smoke billowing from the punctured tires. The men inside were shouting.

"Secure the young miss! We have to protect her!" Their panic set in as they realized they had been caught. Vincent wouldn\'t allow any failure or else, it meant death!

Jane brought their car to a screeching halt, jumping out even before it had completely stopped. Nathan was right behind her, his gun aimed at the kidnapper\'s vehicle.

"Ethan, just stay inside the car. Don\'t leave," He reminded his son.

Upon reaching the enemy\'s car, Jane pulled out her dagger. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Get out of the car!" Nathan shouted, his voice commanding and unyielding. "Hands where we can see them!"

The men were also armed. Some of them picked up their weapons. Two men were holding a gun while the driver picked up his dagger.

"Shall we shoot them?" A man asked their leader. There was no instruction from Vincent to shoot Phantomflake and Nathan.

"No! Let\'s wait for the backup." Their leader gave his instructions.

"But Boss. We can\'t let them take away young miss! Our King will kill us." They were still talking when Jane dragged one of their comrades. The man raised his hands in surrender. They knew they had no chance of escaping now. Jane\'s eyes scanned the vehicle frantically, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Where\'s my daughter?" she demanded, her voice shaking with a mix of anger and desperation. She was grabbing the man by his collar, the sharp tip of the dagger aimed at his neck.

He pointed to the backseat. "She\'s in there," he said, his voice trembling. "We didn\'t hurt her, I swear."

Jane didn\'t waste another second. She rushed to the backseat, yanking the door open. Her heart nearly burst with relief as she saw her daughter, sound asleep but unharmed. She pulled her into a tight embrace.

Nathan kept his gun pointed at the two men in front, his eyes cold and unwavering. "You\'re not getting away with this," he growled, ensuring they knew the severity of their actions.

Jane held her daughter close. "What did you do to her?"

"We just put her to sleep." The leader responded.

Jane and Nathan were still trying to secure Mia when they heard Ethan\'s voice calling them.

"Mom! Dad!"

Everyone turned in his direction. "Drop your gun and weapon, or else, I shoot this kid!"

Jane\'s heart raced as she saw the masked man holding Ethan at gunpoint. Her initial shock quickly gave way to a surge of protective instinct.

"No!"

Nathan\'s face hardened with a mixture of fear and determination. He miscalculated it. A backup suddenly showed up from out of nowhere, capturing his son.

"Let him go!" Nathan shouted, his voice edged with both command and desperation.

The masked man tightened his grip on Ethan, using him as a shield. "Stay back, or the boy gets it," he warned, his voice cold and unyielding.

Jane felt a wave of helplessness wash over her. She took a cautious step forward, hands raised in a placating gesture. "Please, don\'t hurt him. What do you want? We can talk this out."

"We are here to negotiate. Choose. This boy or that girl. Who will you choose to abandon?"

Ethan, eyes wide with fear, tried to stay still, but his small frame trembled. "Mom, Dad," he whispered, his voice shaking.

Nathan\'s mind raced, calculating their options. He couldn\'t risk a direct confrontation and endanger Ethan\'s life, but he needed to act fast. He glanced at Jane, and she gave a barely perceptible nod, understanding the unspoken plan forming between them.

"Alright, give us time to think," Nathan said, trying to keep his voice steady. "Just don\'t hurt him. We will cooperate."

"Don\'t waste our time. Choose now. One of them goes free. The other stays with us."

Jane\'s heart sank, her eyes darting back and forth between Ethan and Mia, feeling utterly helpless.

Nathan took a step forward, his voice breaking. "Please, just—"

"Choose!" the second kidnapper barked, cutting him off.

Jane slammed her eyes shut, gritting her teeth. She had no choice but to say a name and choose only one.

Nathan took a deep breath, his voice trembling. "Ethan," he finally said, his heart shattering with each word. "Ethan, go with them."

Ethan\'s eyes widened, filling with tears, but he nodded bravely. "It\'s okay, Dad. I\'ll be okay. Take care of Mommy Jane and Mia for me."

"No. Ethan will stay." Jane firmly said. How could he let his son be with Vincent\'s men? She wouldn\'t allow that to happen. "Take us instead. Let them go." Jane stepped forward, still carrying Mia in her arms. "Tell your Boss, I\'m coming with you. I will agree to his demand. I\'ll marry him."

Both Nathan and Ethan stood frozen when they heard Jane\'s decision. "No, Mommy! Don\'t leave my Dad!" Ethan cried out. He was against Jane\'s decision.

But Jane shook her head. She glanced at Nathan, asking for his understanding. "Nate, I hope you understand. Vincent wants me. And I will never sacrifice Ethan for my sake. I have to do this."

Nathan clenched his fists tightly. He didn\'t say a word. At that moment, it was the best choice.

"Take Ethan with you," Jane said, turning her back on him.

The masked man shoved Ethan toward Nathan, who caught him in a desperate embrace. Then the masked man motioned for Jane to enter his car. Jane willingly cooperated.
