Chapter 68
Chapter 10
No one knew how Declan had gotten in.
He pressed the gun barrel to my temple.
His breathing was slightly irregular.
“Come with me. Right now p>
Suddenly, the alarm sounded with a piercing wail.
This meant that in one minute, Kai’s elite forces would arrive.
The only outcome waiting for Declan was death.
“You can’t escape p>
I wasn’t panicked at all, not even looking at the gun at my temple through the mirror in front of me.
Declan laughed softly, without his usual composure.
Instead, he seemed a bit mad.
Or rather, he no longer wanted to pretend.
“I don’t want to escape, Raven. If possible, I want to die with you p>
“Are you willing to come with me p>
I felt a bit dazed.
Years ago, when I was surrounded by enemy subordinates,
Declan, that weakling, had dared to rush into the circle.
He had said the exact same thing:
“Are you willing to come with me p>
I had been willing then.
I had agreed countless times.
This time, I wanted so much to agree.
But I couldn’t forget Ruby.
I finally completely understood Mrs. Sterling.
After all that had happened, who could love purely anymore?
If this were eighteen-year-old Raven, she would definitely nod.

But the current Raven would only shake her head, very firmly.
“No p>
The footsteps in the corridor were orderly and powerful, rapidly approaching.
Declan smiled, and tears fell as he smiled.
Before the elite forces broke down the door, he pointed the gun at himself.
“Even if I die, you don’t care anymore, do you p>
“Do you love him that much p>
I knew he was talking about Kai.
Actually, I could have lied to him again, but I ultimately said nothing.
Declan understood, his bloodshot eyes glancing at the door.
He shoved the gun barrel into his mouth.
BANG!
I couldn’t hear clearly—I didn’t know if it was the sound of the door breaking or Declan’s gunshot.
Kai rushed in and caught me as my legs gave out.
“Are you hurt p>
My lips were pale as I shook my head.
Declan seemed to have heard that address.
He struggled to move his eyes and blinked once.
He was dead.
His once told me that he wished to be buried at sea after death.
So, I had someone take his ashes away.
The lawyer asked if I wanted to keep something as a memento.
I refused.
Kai seemed to want to give me all his subordinates, but I refused that as well.
I no longer had any ambition for conquest-
I just wanted to rest.
I simply boarded Kai’s cruise ship and headed for the open ocean.
On the day I boarded, Kai waved to me from the dock.

“Rav, come home soon p>
I waved lazily.
“Hey, watch out for men p>
I couldn’t help but laugh and shouted back at him.
“Get lost p>
