The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 606

Declan didn't move. His gaze remained steady and ice-cold as he locked eyes with Cobra.

Then, he reached behind his head and pulled out a nearly invisible tracking and listening device from beneath his hair.

"That's right, it was me! Cobra, Every word you just said has been transmitted to the authorities. The false charges against my father end today. The world will finally hear what he never got the chance to say. Let me say it again, my father was an officer, not a drug dealer!"

Bob was very shocked. "Declan, y-your father was—"

Cobra's expression turned grim as he said, "I knew it! That look in your eyes—it was just like his! So, you're his son!"

Declan replied, "Yes, he was my father!"

Bob chimed in, "Declan, you lied to me. You never intended to marry my daughter. You just used me to get close to Cobra!"

The realization hit him like a sledgehammer. Everything had been part of Declan's plan.

Outside, sirens wailed as squad cars screeched to a stop. A wave of officers in full tactical gear poured in, weapons raised, cutting off every possible escape route.

Logan Mercer, the veteran cop leading the operation, shouted through a megaphone, "Cobra, Mr. Xanders! You're surrounded! Surrender now and face the consequences of the law."

One of the black-clad underlings panicked. "Cobra, what do we do? We're completely surrounded!"

Cobra's eyes gleamed with malice as he glared at Declan. "Kid, I never thought I would go down because of you! Surrender? Not a chance! Let's go! We're fighting our way out!"

Gunfire erupted, and chaos ensued.

Logan found Declan and grabbed him, dragging him toward the exit. "Hey, come with me! It's too dangerous here."

"Cobra, it's over! We're finished…" Bob collapsed to the ground in despair.

Just as Declan reached out to subdue him, Cobra's eyes flashed cold. Seizing the moment, he suddenly pulled out a knife and drove it straight into Declan's abdomen.

A sickening squelch filled the air. Blood seeped from the wound as Declan staggered.

Before Cobra could make another move, Logan lunged forward and grabbed him. "Cobra, this time, you're not getting away!

A pair of cold metal handcuffs snapped around Cobra's wrists. He was finally caught.

Logan turned to Declan. "Kid, you did it. You fulfilled your father's last wish and cleared his name. It's over now. You're hurt. We need to get you to a hospital right now!"

Declan shoved Logan's hand away and said, "It's over here. But I have someone I need to find."
