Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 261

"You lunatic! Let me go!" Mamie was seething with anger, struggling furiously.

But the guy suddenly went ballistic, stumbling a few steps closer to the edge of the roof. Mamie almost lost her footing.

"If you don't agree to be with me, we'll jump together," he threatened. "If we can't be together in life, we'll be together in death!"

Mamie had a fear of heights. She glanced down and let out a shriek.

Nobody dared to intervene. The cops and the negotiators were still nowhere in sight.

The guy had a gun and seemed mentally unstable. Even the security guards didn't dare to get too close. Everyone kept their distance.

But Mamie had already pissed him off. The situation was spiraling out of control.

Just then, Jared burst to the front.

He loudly declared, "Even if you jump now with her, she'd end up in heaven and you, a bloody murderer, would end up in hell. You still wouldn't be together. You have got to survive because that's the only way you have a chance. Anything can happen."

The guy seemed stunned by Jared's words, then had an epiphany. He looked at Jared with hopeful eyes, "Then tell me what should I do? How can I get Mamie to marry me? I love her so much, I can't live without her, I just can't."

Jared slowly walked towards him, appearing very calm.

He extended a hand to the guy, "Come down first, and I'll tell you. I promise."

The guy seemed to hesitate.

One hand held the gun, the other was around Mamie's neck.
