The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 624 - 665: He Actually Fired the Gun

"Good girl, obey me!"

Night Owl revealed his cruel side, gripping Sienna Johnson’s hand tightly. The force seemed enough to crush her bones. Sienna, alarmed, pleaded, "Don’t, I’ll go with you, I’ll go with you..."

Night Owl laughed. "Do you know why I like you?"

"You’re hurting my hand. Can you let go of me?"

Sienna knew she was at a complete disadvantage at the moment, so she didn’t plan to confront the man called Night Owl head-on.

After all, only by staying alive can there be hope; only by staying alive can I wait for Adrian Desmond to save me.

"Because you’re beautiful and intelligent."

His hand slid over Sienna’s cheek, causing her to shudder. This man, now stripped of all disguise, reminds me of the animal I despise most—a snake! A cold, slimy creature.

"Don’t worry. As long as you behave, I won’t hurt you."

"Then can you tell me where exactly you’re taking me?" Sienna stifled her fear and looked into his eyes.

He chuckled at her. "Didn’t I tell you? I’m taking you to see some beautiful scenery. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve seen in the world, and I think..."

Before Night Owl could finish, he suddenly became alert. Sienna saw something streak past—like a bullet. It grazed Night Owl’s ear, drawing blood. In a fraction of a second—0.01 seconds, to be precise—the man pulled her in front of him, using her as a human shield.

Sienna’s mind went blank; she still didn’t understand what had happened.

"Bill, I know it’s you! Come out!"

A dagger had appeared in Night Owl’s hand. He pressed it against Sienna’s throat. The sharp blade cut her neck; the contrast of vivid red blood against her pale skin was striking. As Sienna watched, Adrian Desmond, his head still wrapped in bandages, slowly emerged holding a silenced black handgun.

Sienna’s heart leaped. Adrian! she cried out internally, then aloud, "Adrian!"

He came to save me, and he didn’t even have time to change his blood-soaked shirt. This realization filled Sienna with both gratitude and heartache.

"Adrian, save me." Sienna looked at Adrian, her eyes burning with the hope of survival.

However, Adrian didn’t look at her at all. His expression was calm and stern. I’ve never experienced such neglect before. Sienna’s heart wavered, filled with uncertainty.

"Night Owl, you’re still alive," Adrian finally spoke.

Night Owl laughed, his voice amplified in Sienna’s ear. "Bill, you’re still alive? How could I go to hell alone!"

...

"Even if I have to die, I’ll drag you down to hell with me!"

Adrian stared at Night Owl emotionlessly and said coldly, "It doesn’t matter. This time, I’ll cut off your head and burn it. I don’t believe you’ll be able to come back to life then!"

Night Owl curled his lip into a wicked smile. "Would you dare shoot your little beauty... and your son? Bill, if you dare open fire on me, I’ll drag your little beauty and your son to their graves with me!"

"It’s better for me to kill her than for you to torture her to death!"

"Bill, stop acting in front of me. I know you like this woman a lot!"

Sienna looked at the man before her with unfamiliar eyes. What is Adrian going to do? He held the gun firmly, as if he really was going to shoot. Sienna’s hand rested on her lower abdomen, her gaze clouded and uncertain.

"Little beauty, don’t believe his nonsense. I like you very much; how could I bear to torture you?" Night Owl goaded. "You probably don’t know how heartless Bill is, how many women’s hearts he’s broken. Back then, to escape Death Island, he used my sister’s feelings, killed my father, and almost killed me too...

"Silly woman, do you think he loves you?

"He only loves himself!"

Adrian didn’t look at Sienna, his gaze locked firmly on the man before him. Reflected in the dock lights, a bloodthirsty gleam flickered deep within his dark eyes. "Night Owl, let her go, and I’ll spare your life! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

...

"Bill, such a beautiful and lovely woman, I’m almost captivated by her. Do you really have the heart to kill her? Especially since she’s carrying your child?"

Adrian glanced briefly at Sienna, then quickly looked away. "If you die," he said, his voice cold and emotionless, "I’ll avenge you!"

"You’d sacrifice your beloved woman?" Night Owl was certain Adrian wouldn’t dare shoot.

"My beloved woman?"

Adrian aimed the gun at the spot between Night Owl’s eyebrows. "My beloved woman? How come I wasn’t aware?"

"Bill, if you have the guts, kill her!"

Adrian took a few steps forward, drawing closer. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. His voice was resonant and clear, and Sienna heard every word. "Night Owl, people like us don’t let others see our weaknesses. The weaknesses I let you see are the ones I *want* you to see. Don’t you even understand something as simple as that?"

"Is that so?"

Adrian fired. Sienna’s eyes widened as Night Owl ducked behind her, using her as a shield. She felt the bullet tear into her body, a searing pain ripping through her. Blood gushed out. If Night Owl hadn’t been supporting her from behind, Sienna would have collapsed.

"Adrian, you...?" She couldn’t believe it. Adrian actually fired? He clearly knew Night Owl would kill me!

She looked down at the wound on her chest. Blood seeped out, spreading. It started as a small red dot, which grew larger and larger, eventually blooming to the size of her palm...

"Adrian?" She looked at him. Adrian’s cold, ruthless expression didn’t change as he held the gun, still aimed at Night Owl. I can’t believe this man, that he would really shoot me.

Night Owl was clearly also caught off guard. "Bill, you’re ruthless!"

"Take care of Curly... Send my family back to Sileria City..." With death imminent, Sienna forced herself to remain calm, using her last vestiges of rationality to arrange her affairs.

Even at death’s door, my biggest worry is still my family and child.

Her hand clutched her lower abdomen tightly. A dreadful, throbbing pain emanated from it, and blood began to seep from between her legs. My baby...

These are the symptoms of a miscarriage. The child our whole family looked forward to is leaving me... No, he won’t leave me. I’m going to die; we’ll reunite in heaven.

More gunshots rang out nearby. It was Adrian, firing at Night Owl again. He was completely disregarding her life and safety.

At this moment, has Adrian ever truly loved me? Sienna began to wonder.

"Little beauty, I’ll come find you again."

Sienna couldn’t answer him.

A few more shots rang out. The man behind her cursed, then tossed aside the woman who had become a discarded pawn, turned, and leaped into the sea.
