Crimson Hearts: A dark romance novella
Chapter:4

"Desperate Choices"


As Isabella and Ethan fought Salvatore's men, desperation fueled their every move. They knew that their love was a flame in the midst of a storm, flickering against the winds of betrayal and danger.


Admidst the chaos, Isabella's mind raced with thoughts of escape. She knew that if they didn't flee Ravenwood now, they would never have another chance at freedom. With a fierce determination burning in her eyes, she turned to Ethan, her voice steady despite the turmoil around them.



"We have to go", she urged, her hand grasping his tightly. "Whe can't stay here any longer."



Ethan nodded, his jaw set with determination. Together, they fought their way through the throngs of Salvatore's men, each step bringing them closer to freedom.



But as they reached the exit of the Crimson Rose, they were met with a sight that sent a chill down their spines. Salvatore stood in their path, his eyes filled with a coldness that made Isabella's blood run cold.



"You think you can escape me?", Salvatore sneered, his voice dripping with venom. "You are nothing without me, Isabella. You belong to me, body and soul."



Isabella felt her heart sink as she realized the truth of Salvatore's words. She was trapped, caught in a web of betrayal and deceit from which there seemed to be no escape.



But even in the face of despair, Ethan refused to give up. With a defiant roar, he launched himself at Salvatore, his fists flying in a flurry of blows. Isabella watched in horror as the both men grappled with each other, their struggle a reflection of the turmoil that raged within her own heart.




In the end, it was a single gunshot that brought the chaos to an abrupt halt. Isabella's world spun as she watched Ethan collapse to the ground, a pool of crimson spreading beneath him.



With tears in her eyes, Isabella knelt beside him, her hands trembling as she reached out to touch his face. "No", she whispered, her voice chocked with sorrow.
"Please don't leave me."



But it was too late. As Ethan's life slipped away before her eyes, Isabella knew that their love had been doomed from the start. And as she cradled his lifeless body in her arms, she vowed to never forget the sacrifices he had made for her, even in death.


"Love is a force beyond all control,
a fire,
that can never be ignited nor extinguished at will."
