Chapter 4174
When their mother was alive, the three brothers lived carefree lives. Without her, they felt lost. As Marco spoke, Noel quickly interjected, “Brother, I’m not backing down. Instead of using a knife, we could just toss her into the sea. With her hands and feet tied, she won’t be able to escape. The deep ocean is teeming with fish. Soon, she’ll be devoured, leaving no trace behind. That’s better than us using a knife.”
The truth was, none of them had ever killed anyone before. They had committed many wrongdoings, but murder was a line they hadn’t crossed. Marco’s expression grew cold. “I don’t want her to die quickly. That would be too merciful. I want her to suffer. You two are worthless.”
Holding the knife in one hand, Marco squatted down and grasped Kathryn’s chin with the other. His grip was strong, his eyes blazing with fury. “Kathryn, I’m asking you one last time. What’s the password? I’ll count to three. If you don’t speak, don’t blame me for what happens next. You’ll die in agony.”
Kathryn stared back at him, her lips quivering slightly, but she remained silent. Marco’s rage surged. She was on the verge of death, yet her stubbornness persisted. His grip tightened, and then he brought the knife down.
“Ah!” Kathryn’s scream pierced through the night. Marco’s blade didn’t sever her arm; instead, she rolled just as he struck. Despite his determination, a flicker of hesitation remained within him. He lacked the resolve to kill her outright. His grip faltered, and though the cut was deep, it wasn’t fatal. The knife sliced across her right arm, leaving a long, bleeding wound.
Kathryn gasped, her body wracked with pain. Warm blood soaked through her sleeve, staining it red. The icy sea breeze had already
The searing pain made her shiver, and cold sweat dripped down her face. Her lips grew paler by the second. Marco blinked, staring at the knife in his trembling hand, but it slipped from his grip and clattered to the ground. Noel and Sage had shut their eyes when the knife came down, unable to watch. However, the moment they heard Kathryn’s scream, they snapped their eyes open. Seeing her bleeding but still alive, they exhaled in relief, though they instinctively stepped back.
Sage hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, his voice urgent. “Kathryn, just tell us! If you don’t, Big Brother will cut you again. Next time, it won’t just be a scratch.” Kathryn writhed on the ground, her body convulsing in pain. Marco, regaining his composure, stepped closer. “I’ve already used the knife once. Do you really think I won’t do it again? If you don’t want to die a miserable death, talk!”
Kathryn continued to roll on the ground. The three brothers assumed she was doing this out of unbearable pain and watched her coldly. But Kathryn had a purpose; she rolled away from the knife Marco had dropped. At that moment, Pedro and his men arrived, followed closely by a group of policemen who swiftly surrounded the area. Their car had stopped at a distance with the engine off. They hadn’t driven too close, fearing the headlights would alert the brothers and cause them to panic—worried they might finish the job before help could intervene.
Marco had hesitated once, and that hesitation had saved Kathryn’s life. She had been hurt, but she wasn’t going to die. That was all she needed. Pedro was here, and this was about to end.
