Chapter 1724

Robert always knew Drake was dense, but not so dense.

Michael and Enoch were outnumbered, but the high ground gave them the edge.

Time ticked by.

Robert glanced at Oscar and Theda circling, then at Fermin prepping a sneak attack.

Enoch had been cornered. His desperate stand was just a last-ditch effort to stall.

"Marion, what's your take?" Robert asked.

Marion glanced at Randy, who pulled out his gun. "He's not my dad anymore."

He knew they were holding back because of him.

Randy loaded the gun. "This is on me."

He had learned how to shoot from training abroad, courtesy of Enoch. The source of thɪs content is FιndNovel.net

Enoch raised his pistol, locking eyes with Randy. Between them, there had been little communication.

This might be the first and the last as well.

Randy aimed at Enoch but hesitated for a split second. That was all it took.

Enoch fired quickly, hitting Randy's shoulder.

Erica screamed, "Randy!"

Marion reacted fast, pulling his gun and firing a shot at Enoch's head.

Time seemed to stop. Michael threw himself in front of Enoch. The bullet tore through the back of his head. "Father..." he smiled, crumpling into Enoch's arms.

His pupils dilated, but he seemed to see himself in childhood. Annette was waiting in their small house for Enoch to come home for dinner.

Back then, Michael didn't get why his parents, who loved each other, had to sneak around. Classmates got picked up by their folks after school, but Enoch never showed up for a single parent-teacher night.

Older, he learned the truth: Annette was a mistress, and he was a child out of wedlock.

He envied Randy, who could be Enoch's son in the open. Randy was a screw-up, but people knew him as Enoch's boy.

Michael didn't agree with Enoch's plans, but he was willing to help realize Enoch's dreams.

He couldn't reject it because Enoch was his dad.

"Michael, my son." Enoch held him, tears spilling out.

Then another shot rang out, hitting Enoch square in the heart.

Everyone looked at Yvette in shock, but she stared tearfully at Enoch.

She could handle him having another woman or even a love child, but she would not let anyone hurt Randy.
