I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 859

Rachel's eyes widened in shock. "You… you mean you're going to kill us?"

Her voice trembled, and I could feel how terrified she was.

Nelson toyed with the knife in his hand. "It's not my decision, it's the client's. I took the money, so I have to do the job."

At his words, Rachel's shock turned to horror. She looked at me. "We can give you money, too. Can't you just let us go?"

Her voice was on the verge of tears, and the hand gripping my arm was shaking.

Nelson's expression grew serious. "Listen, girl, this is my line of work. I take money to get things done. I know you're both innocent, but if you want to blame someone, blame your employer. I'm just following orders. So if you end up on the other side, make sure you go after the right person."

Listening to Nelson's casual tone, I knew he must have seen and done this kind of thing countless times. He only seemed reasonable on the surface; in reality, he was completely numb to it.

Rachel nudged my arm. "Zephyra, say something! What do we do now? Are we really just going to wait to die? I'm so young, and Horace is waiting for me to take care of him."

I didn't know what to do either. Nelson was clearly determined to kill us. He didn't care about the money, only about his professional code.

"Could you call Queena again? I'm the one she wants to kill. Just let Rachel go!"

In this situation, it was better for one person to die than for both of us.

The man answered without hesitation. "No need to ask. Her instructions were to dispose of you both together. It's better this way, you'll have company on the road. It gets lonely going alone."

Rachel was speechless.

I fell silent for a moment. "So, how are you planning to send us off?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Nelson's eyes. "You're rather calm. What, you're not afraid?"
