"Are you crazy? Nathaniel's our enemy. We'd be dead upon arrival!"
"Not necessarily," someone reasoned. "If we surrender ourselves…"
Before he could finish, another interrupted, "Forget it. Nathaniel's not an option!"
"Then where do we go? We've made plenty of enemies over the years working for Mr. Blackwell. There's nowhere safe nearby. We're dead anyway, so why not take a chance with Nathaniel?"
The suggestion made a few of them think.
It seemed logical.
With no other options, they started considering it seriously.
Just as they were discussing when to approach Nathaniel, the door burst open.
Declan's most trusted aide stood there, his eyes cold and menacing.
"You guys sure are quick."
They froze in terror.
One man immediately fell to his knees and reasoned, "It's not my fault! I just overheard them. They threatened to kill me if I didn't go along!"
The others scoffed at his cowardice.
He was caught red-handed, and now this performance?
However, Declan's aide was not interested in their excuses.
He ordered his men to tie the group up, and they would face the ultimate punishment the next day.
They trembled at the mention of the ultimate punishment.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson)
The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
