Chapter 119 - The Weight of Choices

Orion's POV

What am I supposed to do? Nobody gives you a manual on how to handle things like this.

Chloe had taken a bullet for me tonight. She had risked her life again, to save mine. Could I really abandon her now, knowing she might wake up alone, confused, and in pain?

And yet, how could I stay here when Holly is missing and Ava could be in danger?

Rose’s voice cracked as she whispered, “Please, Mr Miller. I need your help to find them quickly. They’re your family.”

I clenched my fists, the weight of the decision crushing me. Stay by the side of the woman who just risked her life for me, or go out into the night to find the woman I couldn’t live without?

The moment dragged, every second feeling like an eternity.

Before I could answer, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed through the waiting room. A security guard appeared, his face grim as he turned to face Rose.
