Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Jackson was covered in wounds-so many that even someone slightly uneasy about clusters would be freaked out.

"Brother," Fiona's voice was a bit raspy, clearly from all the distress she'd been through. "I'm late."

Jackson shook his head, noticing how much weight Fiona had lost. It was clear she hadn't been eating or sleeping well lately.

"Fiona, you shouldn't have come," Jackson sighed, then added, "I'm alright, really. Don't worry about me."

Fiona's cousin, however, was unimpressed. To him, Jackson's kidnapping was a Woods family issue, and Fiona had no business sticking her nose in.

"Fiona, didn't you swear you'd never set foot in the States again?"

Suddenly, she looked up, her bright eyes flashing with determination. "You've got three minutes to let the Stonnell family know you saw me."

"What?"

While he was still trying to wrap his head around it, Fiona had already started the countdown.

"You dare to mess with me? Aren't you scared of the Stonnell family coming after you?"

"Coming after me?" Fiona stood up, delivering a swift kick to her cousin's stomach, making him wince in agony. A blade popped out from her shoe, and she slashed him a few times.

Blood quickly soaked through his clothes, but she was careful not to kill him. She wasn't about to let them off easy after all the suffering Jackson had been through.

Fear flooded the man's eyes-terror and regret dancing in them. Despite the chaos, the Woods family was too scared to step in; they were in way

over their heads.

Each of them had their kneecaps shattered by Fiona's bullets, yet they couldn't afford to provoke the

Sell family. So, they quietly

made a video call to them.

"Fiona, you can't do this to me. I'm your

t the law. The Stonnell family

won't just sit back."

Fiona's eyes were filled with mockery and disdain. She retracted the blade and stomped on the man's face with a wicked grin.

Just then, the call went through to the Stonnell family, and her cousin's mother appeared, furious. "Fiona, it's you!"

Fiona grabbed her phone, finding the perfect angle to film the whole scene.

"Was it you who ratted us out?" Fiona asked coldly, eyeing one of the Woods family members.

Before he could answer, Fiona raised her hand and took him out with a single shot.

The woman on the other end of the call screamed in terror.

"Such a nuisance," Fiona muttered, rolling her eyes.

No one dared to say a word, knowing full well they could be next.

"Fiona, after all these years, you've lost it! If you don't bring my son back safe, you'll pay with your life!"
