By then, Emma had gotten free of the ropes that bound her, as she had been working whilst Gabriel and Julius were kept occupied by the arrival of James.
She was freed right before her boyfriend was about to kill Julius.
She quickly wondered what to do.
Of course, all options were on the table, except jumping in front of the gun, that'd be incredibly foolish.
With time running out, the second she heard James slowly begin to pull the trigger, she instead ran for James, wrapping her hands around his waist as she planted a kiss on his neck.
"Don't," she pleaded.
"Please don't, James," she elaborated.
"Don't be a murderer for his sake."
"You're not like that."
She agreed on the fact that Julius deserved punishment for what he had done, but death was not a suitable punishment. Heck, some could argue that that'd be letting him off the hook too easily.
James stopped in his tracks.
