Christopher was absurdly calm given the circumstances. He stared intently at Bella, who was still sleeping soundly. "You can take Bella away, but not now."

A sharp look came upon Jace's eyes. "Are you going to defy the Boss's orders?"

"Like I said, you can do it, but not now." Christopher suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

When he removed his hand from his mouth, he clenched his fingers which were smeared with fresh blood. "So much has happened between us, all that love and resentment... Today is the time that I will finally settle the score with Justin after drawing it out for so long. What am I to do if Bella is not by my side at such a crucial moment?"
