Lucas frowned and adopted a negotiating stance.
"I believe I can accommodate your wishes. Our society is ruled by law, after all. Do you think you stand a chance of escaping if you kill her?
"I should also remind you that I, and this woman here, are two witnesses. You'll be spending the rest of your life in a dark prison cell if you go ahead with what you plan to do. I suggest you consider whether you'd prefer to make a deal with me or spend a lifetime behind bars."
Roland's nostrils flared as he was provoked by Lucas' condescending demeanor.
"I know you're a big shot, Mister Lucas, but you're the one who wants to save her. Her life is in my hands, so I'll be the one calling the shots! Listen to what I say, and spare me the irritation of your pretentious expression. I'm not an idiot."
Monica's heart raced. She could see Penny's kicks weakening under Roland's grip. "Release Penny first, and then we can talk about your demands! We're not here to provoke you. All we want is to discuss this with you. Please release her, and we will continue our conversation."
Roland glanced at Penny, thinking she was already dead. He immediately released her, but then pulled her back by her shoulders.
"Don't come any closer! I'll make sure she comes out of this alive if you don't call the police. Please understand that I never wanted to do this in the first place, but I have my reasons for doing so."
Roland panicked, and his mind was in disarray. His statements seemed inconsistent as he displayed arrogance one moment and pity the next.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
