The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

The room seemed to freeze, all eyes turning to her.

She faced Peterson with resolve.

What will it take for you to let them go? Petersons gaze narrowed.

Just one word from you, Hannah.

If you choose to stay by my side, Ill release them right now.

As his words fell, Hannahs eyes drifted toward Remington, who remained stoic and silent, his face unreadable.

Im not discussing that, she replied calmly, though her mind was racing.

She knew Bryson was the one closing in, and he was the one she truly needed to protect.

The person I want you to release.

is someone else.

Outside the room, Bryson stood at the door. Step aside, he commanded.

The man in the tiger mask immediately frowned at the sight of Bryson, motioning for his men to stand down.

He lowered his voice to a whisper, urgency lacing his words.

Why are you here? Leave quickly! Did you find out more evidence against those two? Bryson extended a small recording device to the tiger-masked man, his expression cold and unyielding.

Everything youre looking for is on there.noveldrama

Now, move, Bryson said icily.

Taking the recording pen, the man with the tiger mask hesitated, holding his ground.

Im only trying to protect you.

After all, youre the one the master wants.

If you go in now, I cant promise youll make it out.

Bryson met his gaze with steely determination.

Are you going to keep standing in my way? At this revelation, the man in the tiger mask faltered, a flash of surprise breaking through his hardened expression.

Just then, a voice drifted from within the room.

Let him in.

The words were like a decree, and with evident reluctance, the tiger -masked man stepped aside, allowing Bryson to pass.

As Bryson crossed the threshold, his gaze swept over the occupants of the room, finally resting on Hannah.

His eyes softened, revealing a depth of concern.

Its good to see youre okay, he murmured, his voice quiet yet carrying a strength that resonated with everyone present.

Peterson watched Bryson, a flicker of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

He quickly masked it, allowing a mocking smile to settle on his Lips.

Oh? So, the knight of Hannahs heart has finally arrived? Bryson, I thought you were wiser than this. Walking so brazenly into someone elses trap-how careless of you.

Your trap? Bryson replied, his voice calm and unwavering.

Peterson, you may think your schemes are flawless, but youve overlooked one crucial elementhuman nature.

Hannahs eyes showed a glint of exhaustion, yet her resolve remained unbroken.

Peterson, I cant condone your actions, but I dont want to see you completely destroyed either.

Please, end this madness.

Bryson added coldly, Even if you claw your way to the top by any means necessary, what will it bring? In the end, betrayal is all youll find.

Peterson shook his head, his gaze shifting to Hannah, as though searching for a glimmer of understanding.

Hannah, do you know? Everything Ive done has been for the chance to stand beside you openly, without fear.

But now, its all too late.
