Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 443 - Four Hundred And Forty-three: They Were Finally Saved

The third point of view:

Everything happened so quickly that Miguel couldn\'t comprehend what was going on until he saw his men dancing? However, in reality, they were not dancing - although it looked that way- but trying to grab the creatures on their body.

Mr. Smuff aka Neon\'s home-trained soldier mouse was relentless in his attack as he climbed into the men\'s shirt and continued to explore other areas of his body. The man yelped, searching hysterically for the mouse that made him squeamish and uncomfortable - he had to get rid of the disgusting little creature.

The other man was also left in a similar position. Not only did the spider bite him but it traveled to his lungs, its movements tickling him.

Miguel upon realizing the tide has changed and that it was as a result of the kids, changed his mind immediately. The kids were too dangerous to be kept alive else they foil his plan. He decided to switch from plan A to B; he had to kill them.

His hand traveled down to his waistband and pulled out a gun which he focused on the most lethal kid - Isabella. Unfortunately, Reina saw through his plan, and just when he was about to pull the trigger, she kicked the gun out of his grasp.

Miguel turned to her with furious eyes, "You bitch!" he raged and tried to hit her but Reina dodged him this time, albeit with difficulty - she had to get her arm treated.

One of Miguel\'s men finally got his hands on the spider tormenting his life. He pulled it away from his chest forcefully and tossed it against the wall.

"You idiot!" The man then pulled out his gun and from frustration, aimed to shoot at poor Allen.

Jean hardly recovered from the laser attack from the robot when he looked around and from the corner of his eye caught one of his men about to shoot at the little boy. Call it instincts or something, but the instant he saw that scene, Jean\'s hands went to his gun and before he knew it, shot at his partner.

A?man\'s pained groan was next heard as he was shot in the chest and died at the spot instantly.

Everyone was shocked by the turn of events. Heck, Jean didn\'t even realize he pulled the trigger until the shock wore off seconds later. All he knew was that when his partner had tried to harm the child, a protective feeling rose in his chest and he knew that moment that he couldn\'t allow the child to die. So he did the rightful thing - even if it meant going against his own people.

Isabella who had planned to go help out her mother halted in her footsteps when she heard that gunshot and turned to Jean with wide eyes. Did he just kill one of his own people for them?

As if testing the waters to ensure he was completely on their side, she asked him, "What happened to the favor you were obligated to pay?"

But Jean said itself, "You got it wrong, it\'s a little niece,"

For the time ever, Isabella had no clue what he was saying and was about to ask for details when it clicked in her head - she had previously asked if he had a family around their - the kids - age. Isabella boomed a smile at him, he was on their side.

The other guy being harassed by Mr Smuff was finally roused from his "melodrama" when his partner fell to the ground and died. His eyes widened and turned to Jean, unbelieving, "H-how could you?"

And then, as if a scale was finally taken off his eyes, the pissed-off hitman went into full business mode. He reached out from behind and caught Mr. Smuff, who attempted to escape once again but was unable to under the man\'s tight grip.

With a curse unsuitable for kids age, the man bought out his gun and fired it straight at the damn thing, blasting its head off.

"No!!" Neon shrieked, unable to save his mouse on time. The boy, froze for a minute dramatically - which was actually a few seconds in reality - unable to process what just happened, and then fell on his knees.

"Mr. Smuff," his lips quivered, watching as his mouse\'s lifeless body dangled from the killer\'s hand.

A cruel smile curved the hitman\'s mouth - he enjoyed the boy\'s misery. Then he tossed the gory mouse away and proceeded to finish what he started. Jean betrayed them, he had to pay with his life with these fools.

At that same time, Miguel\'s eyes grew wide when he saw Jean, his contracted killer, murder his partner. Ever since Reina made that atrocious offer of buying him over, he had a niggling feeling that the asshole would betray him but he had pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Now, he ignored his instinct and got bitten by his dog gone rabid.

Knowing the only solution to this problem was to end Jean, he kicked that annoying wife of Niklaus out of his way and picked up his gun. He was done joking around, it was time for business.

As if Isabella and Jean shared a tactile understanding, they realized that things were about to get ugly and worked in harmony.

Jean tossed a gun to her which she caught and both exchanged their position; Isabella shot at Miguel who had less experience with guns; Jean shot at his on par partner who was a ruthless killer.

Isabella didn\'t go for the instant kill even though she could end him, she deliberately shot at his hand grabbing the gun, which fell and then his ankles, forcing him to plonk to the ground. Miguel let out a cry of agony. Unlike Jean who shot his partner right at the head and the man fell at once.

However, almost immediately, men on uniform, geared to the teeth with ammunition rushed into the room and Isabella let the gun fall from her hand as she raised her hand in surrender. But then breathe in relief when Judy strode in.

Thank God, they were safe at last.
