Even After Death

Wayne's eyes frantically scanned over Olivia. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Just some scratches. Jacqueline mustn't get away!"

"Don't worry, I have people ready in the vicinity."

Jacqueline was a sly fox with Alexander on her side. Olivia vowed to herself that she would capture Jacqueline even if Shana's life was in danger.

Forget about knowing Shana's whereabouts. If Jacqueline knew that information, that would mean she and Brandon were plotting something together!

If Jacqueline escaped, it was impossible for her to tell Olivia Shana's whereabouts.

The promise was a way to buy herself some time. Both parties had something plotted right from the beginning.

They wanted each other dead!

Now that things had turned out this way, someone had to die, and it was either Olivia or Jacqueline.

Unfortunately for Jacqueline, she was wrong about someone-Wayne.

Wayne was Ethan's enemy, so Jacqueline initially thought that luring Olivia to Wayne's territory might give her the upper hand, but it backfired. She had dug her own grave.

The owl left a few scratches on her face and almost tore down her scalp until she finally broke free from it.

Furious, she broke into strings of vulgar words, no longer the gentle and obedient woman. "That motherfucker! Olivia's daughter must be a witch! It hurts so much..."

Alexander checked on her wounds before sighing in relief. "Thank god it's nothing serious."

"Nothing serious? Do you know how many times I've fixed my face to look like Olivia?" Jacqueline cared about her face the most.

Previously, even a zit could easily tick her off.

She had always been putting on a show in front of the Fordham family. She might appear gentle and mild in front of them, but she drank alcohol and smoked behind their backs. Her temper was the worst. She was good at hiding her true colors. She could only be herself in front of Alexander.

He was the person Jacqueline trusted yet hated the most at the same time.

Since they shared a similar past, he was the only one who had seen her disgraceful side. That was why she was a fussy woman whenever he was around.

"It's okay, I've credited the two billion. dollars. Once we get out of here, we can enjoy our lives to the fullest. You have all the time in the world to fix your face." Alexander hugged her, comforting her gently as he always did. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"I hope so. I want Olivia's face ruined too."

"Stop getting in her way, Jacqueline. With her status and the power she has right now, we'll lose for sure. Besides, her daughter is a genius witch and a beast tamer! I won't be able to win against her the next time.

We can't get close to all," he

tried to talk some sense Jacqueline.

"You useless man!" she barked.

"The ship is coming soon. We'll be fine when it comes," he reassured.

As soon as he said that, the sound of propellers whirling resounded. It was a military helicopter! There was an army base on the island, so it made sense.

Alexander looked up at the

helicopter, wondering if it was their

enemy. Then, he let out a

self-mocking smile. They had

nothing to do with each other,

why would the army dispatch a

helicopter to catch nobodies like them?

He thought he was overthinking it, so he just ordered the skipper to speed up.

Suddenly, the water rose in ripples and then in waves. Now, it wasn't only the helicopter. Numerous yachts were speeding over to them!

Jacqueline grabbed Alexander's shirt. "I'm scared."

"Relax. I'm here. Look, there's a helicopter. The army must be on a mission. It has nothing to do with us."
