Maryam moved back, desperate. “You can’t! You can’t Bryson’s voice remained indifferent. “You’ve

given me no reason to spare you.”
“I…” Maryam stumbled back in panic.
Bryson’s voice turned icy. “Caleb, fire.”
Bang!
A bullet tore through the air, landing dangerously close to Maryam!
She flinched, collapsing to the ground in panic.
“I have something! Something about you!”
Maryam’s plea made Caleb pause, seeking Bryson’s nod.
Bryson, lounging on the sofa, smirked, his hand supporting his head.

He held up a photo and passed it to Maryam. “Take a good look. Is this the woman you mentioned?”

“Wait! Maryam pleaded, meeting Bryson’s gaze. “I’ve said so much. Why do you still want to kill me?”
Bryson leaned back on the sofa, his voice cold. “So much? You expect me to spare you over vague gossip?”
