Chapter 73: The Point Of No Return

Lena's hand shook as it hovered over the trigger,every instinct screamed for her to pull it, to take control of the situation. 

But the weight of the decision pressed down on her chest like a hundred-pound stone. 

She could see it all in her mind—Victor Hale's smug face, the Resistance fighter on the ground, and the flickering images of her sister that had been haunting her dreams.

For a split second, she wanted to just end it all—to put the gun down and walk away, let the pieces fall where they may. 

But her mind cleared, and the reality hit. She wasn't just fighting for herself anymore, She wasn't just playing the game for survival.

She had to make a choice.

Bang!

The shot rang out, shattering the cold night air. But it wasn't the Resistance fighter who fell.

Lena's bullet hit the ground beside him, a warning shot. A deliberate miss.

"You're not getting this one," Lena's voice rang out, her tone cold and unwavering.
