Marco and his companions finally heard footsteps. Instinctively, they turned their heads-only to see a group of people closing in fast, surrounding them.

"Police! Hands up! Don't move!"

As soon as Marco spotted the officers, the lead policeman shouted the command, immediately drawing his pistol and aiming it at them.

The police had been tipped off by Shiloh's brother, who informed them that the kidnappers were armed. Meanwhile, the detectives pursuing Pedro were also carrying firearms.

Sage's mind went blank. His head felt like it was about to explode.

Marco was the first to react. Without hesitation, he bent down, grabbed a kitchen knife, and lunged toward Kathryn. If he was going down, he was determined to take her with him.

If she died and he paid for her life with his own, it would all be worth it.

He snatched up the knife just as Kathryn, writhing in pain from her injured arm, rolled across the ground. Watching her suffer filled him with twisted satisfaction.
