Became A Queen After divorce

After some thought, he still couldn’t bring himself to eat the candy.

Holding it in his palm for a long time, Esteban finally put the candy down.

This was a little secret between him and Sasha. Even if he never saw her again, he could still remember her through this candy.

Under his mother’s caring gaze, Esteban picked up other snacks and started eating.

He ate quietly and gracefully, unlike other children who gobbled their food or made a mess everywhere.

Giana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just eating snacks wasn’t enough; she decided to make a cup of instant noodles for her son herself.

Given the current conditions, she couldn’t do much else, but she had many dishes she wanted Esteban to try, like the pickled pepper eel rice that Esteban’s father used to love.

Thinking of her deceased husband, Giana felt a pang of sorrow, but she quickly pulled herself together.

Though she had lost her husband, he had left her the most precious gift in the world-Esteban, her son.

One day, he would grow up to be as handsome and upright as his father.

Just as Giana was about to return to her seat with the instant noodles, a few burly men dressed in black entered the train car.

They looked different from the other passengers, with fierce expressions and intimidating tattoos on their arms. Giana recognized the tattoos; they were identical to those on her husband’s arms.

Her face turned pale as she realized what might be happening. The Gilliam family had found them; they had no intention of letting them go.

Panicked, Giana thought of her son’s safety. These men were likely after Esteban.

Esteban was still on the train. If they found him, it would be disastrous!

She bolted, dropping the cup of noodles. Hot water spilled everywhere, making the noodles inedible.

People around her screamed and cursed as they got burned.

“What’s wrong with you? You burned me! Can you afford to pay for this?”

“Yeah, you look decent but have such a vicious heart. Did you do it on purpose?”

“Pay up! You must pay! My shoes are new and cost 2, 000 dollars. You can’t run away today.”

Giana was blocked by the angry passengers. Normally, she would have apologized immediately, but now she only wanted to protect Esteban.

She pushed through them frantically, her slender figure darting through the car.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Catch her!”

The burned man chased after her, determined to get compensation for his shoes.

The commotion quickly caught the attention of the Gilliam family’s men. They glanced at the woman’s retreating figure and compared it to a photo.

“Looks like her. Chase!”

Five men in black joined the pursuit, making the narrow train car even more crowded.

The man turned back in surprise and instinctively asked, “Who are you?”

“Get lost!”

The leader impatiently pulled out a gun and pointed it at the man’s head, exuding a deadly aura. Anyone smart enough wouldn’t think he was joking. But the man, already angry from being burned and now threatened by strangers, lost his temper.

He stood his ground, refusing to move aside.

“What? Think you can scare me with a toy gun? Just because you have tattoos doesn’t mean you’re tough!”

He lifted his T-shirt to reveal a tattoo on his belly.

“See this? I have a tattoo too. Are you scared?”

Everyone looked down. That wasn’t much of a tattoo-a tiny gecko on his watermelon-sized belly looked more like a cockroach. Anyone who didn’t know better might think it was just a blemish on his skin.

The Gilliam family’s men saw their target getting away and grew furious.

They hadn’t planned on killing anyone because Miss Libby had ordered them to keep a low profile. The Gilliam family had been too conspicuous lately and didn’t want to attract attention from higher authorities.

But now that this man was asking for trouble, they wouldn’t hold back.

Seeing their silence, the man thought he had scared them and demanded compensation.

“You made me miss that woman. You owe me for these shoes! 2, 000 dollars; I just bought them.”

He lifted his leg to show off his bright red sneakers.

In the next moment, tragedy struck. His scream echoed through the train car.

The man’s leg was severed!

The leader held a blood-stained knife, its sharp blade dripping with blood.

Blood flowed continuously from the wound as the man stood on one leg. His severed leg lay on the floor with the shoe still on it.

The sudden violence left everyone stunned. Once they realized what had happened, passengers screamed and retreated in fear. The train car descended into chaos.

The man collapsed, eyes wide with horror as he stared at his attacker.

The man in black stepped over him disdainfully, leaving him with a chilling message.

“Remember, never mess with the Gilliam family.”

“I’m sorry… Please, spare me…”

But the Gilliam family’s men had no time for him. Cutting off his leg was already a lenient punishment.

“Hmph!”

The men in black left, but their ruthless image remained etched in everyone’s minds.

Wherever they passed, passengers instinctively tried to flee.

Gunshots rang out, alerting the train staff.

Seeing the armed men, even the staff hid behind seats in fear.

The conductor trembled; it was his first day on the job, and he encountered such terror. He realized this job wasn’t worth it.

No amount of money was worth risking his life for.

Meanwhile, Esteban finally saw his mother return, but she was crying.

Sensing something was wrong, he ran over immediately.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Run! Quickly! They’re coming!”

In her panic, Giana couldn’t explain further. She grabbed their luggage with one hand and Esteban with the other, ready to flee the train.

“Mom, what’s coming? I don’t understand.”

As Esteban questioned in confusion, the Gilliam family’s men caught up and spotted him.

A cruel smile spread across their faces.

“Target confirmed. Capture him!”

“Yes!”
