My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Today’s Hero

HONK!

HONK!!!

Ashley nearly choked when she caught sight of the blinding light barreling closer and closer from her side.

Her lips parted as she cursed Rum with all her heart. She had told him to go all out, but nowhere in those instructions had she asked him to kill her!

"Fucking Rum," she hissed, keeping her eyes on the road. "I’m going to kill him."

Also, where the hell had he come from?

As far as everyone knew, Rum had been at the back, wreaking havoc on every car pursuing them.

"Lu," she called as the light beside her grew brighter, already planting her feet on the motorcycle’s seat.

Before she could say anything more, Lucian spoke.

"I’ll catch you."

HONK!!!

The blare of the truck’s horn grew louder as it hurtled straight toward her, accompanied by Rum’s curses exploding through their earpieces.

Lucian drew a deep breath, his gaze darting between Ashley and the cars flanking her. They weren’t slowing down either, and whatever plan they had to save themselves was none of his concern.

When his eyes returned to his wife, Ashley was already crouched on the seat, one hand still gripping the handlebar.

HONK!

The blaring horn was almost deafening.

But not as loud as Lucian’s shout.

"NOW!"

The instant he gave the signal, his foot slammed down on the accelerator.

At the same time, Ashley launched herself off the motorcycle and somersaulted through the air. Lucian kept his eyes on her while his mind remained fixed on the road, making rapid calculations in his head.

As for Gustav?

His jaw dropped, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets as he watched her soar through the air.

Everything seemed to slow down.

Ashley spun gracefully, her arms spread wide. She held a rifle in one hand and a pistol in the other. Both weapons flashed as she unleashed a barrage of bullets, finally gaining a clear shot at the cars that had been boxing her in.

Gustav was too stunned to speak.

Even those watching the drone footage Gin had broadcast across the city stopped whatever conversations they were having and whatever they were doing.

All they could do was watch Ashley leap from her motorcycle as the truck sped toward her, her body spinning backward through the air.

Marshal wasn’t spared from the horror either. He stared through the shattered rear windshield, able to glimpse everything through a narrow section of glass that remained intact. He gasped, his face draining of color.

"He’s... he’s insane," he blurted out.

His heart pounded so violently that he clutched his chest, trying to keep the pain at bay.

But the longer he watched the demon chasing him, the more he realized that whoever it was truly intended to capture him.

Had he known who was actually behind all this, his heart might have stopped before the chase even ended.

While the rest of the world seemed to move in slow motion, Lucian pressed several buttons on his side. The windows lowered slightly—just enough to give Ashley something to grab onto.

HONK!!!

Rum leaned his entire weight on the horn.

His truck plowed into the cars that had been boxing Ashley in, narrowly missing the riderless motorcycle as it began to lose speed. He continued across the road, ramming through the vehicles in the neighboring lane.

BAM!
