*****“What… what did you just say?” Rebecca trembled all over, hearing what Mason just said.“Did… did you just say my… my grandfather is going to lose his life in the next minute?” She swallowed hard.Mason’s eyes squinted upon hearing Rebecca’s question, then he pondered for a second before nodding his head. “Well, technically yes even though that wasn’t how I said it.”“This…” Rebecca did not even notice the playfulness laced in Mason’s voice at all.She stared blankly and wasn’t able to react for a second before she trembled again and then lost all strength she had left.She slumped down and became utterly weak.Although she has always been a rebellious lady who loves doing only the things she wants, she had never wished or imagined even in her darkest fantasies to lose her grandfather who dotes on her the most in the world.“There is still a way for him to stay alive though,” Mason abruptly said just as Rebecca was going to lose every single hope.Hearing Mason’s words
*****Mason couldn’t help but stare at Rebecca in frustration after failing to understand his simple explanation. Finally, he signed helplessly.“Just know this thing, what… the person you once knew as grandfather was no more. Instead, what I have here is nothing now but a puppet under my control whose life will return to the underworld in at most, the next 24 hours.”Rebecca, “_”Rebecca again, “_”Rebecca for the umpteenth time, “_”“You… you have gone crazy!” She suddenly growled and the next second, she jumped to Mason, trying to lock his shirt.“Return my grandfather to me now, you evil bastard!” She yelled.Just as her hand was about to touch the shirt, however, a strong force hit and sent her flying, banging her against one side of the four walls in the room.Rebecca coughed out blood and hurriedly stared with disbelief.What she saw was her grandfather staring emotionlessly at her with his hand raised.He had just hit her, but based on the present situation, Rebecca
*****“What do you mean that my daughter is in danger?” Ava was currently gaping at Olive with shock.She had been incredibly excited upon seeing Olive and she had even rushed, trying to share the good news with him, however, she had never, even in her darkest thought expected what Olive said next and his panicked expression.Olive, trembling immediately gave Ava an urgent gaze filled to the brim with plea.“I… I don’t have the time to explain, but please, you have to help me call her on your phone right now!” He said, half yelling.Ava finally realized that Olive wasn’t joking and she became scared to death.Although she is the type of woman who only values vanity above love, her only daughter is the softest part of her world and she would never joke with her, especially about her well-being.Without hesitating, Ava brought out her cell phone and then began to dial Olivia’s number.She dialed it over ten times, however, each call went unanswered, making her face pale even mor
***** Never in Olivia’s nightmare had she expected that just as she got away from one abductor, she would be picked up by another group. She was overwhelmed with fear and despair, particularly when she realized at a glance that her previous captors were merely gangsters who were totally inferior compared to this new group which seemed to have consisted of professionals. With pale white skin and her heart pounding frantically in her chest, Olivia fearfully glanced at the slight beauty before her, feeling her heart grow cold. Although the lady wore a gentle smile and seemed completely harmless, Olivia's instincts screamed danger, letting her know that this person was more frightening than the devil. Suddenly, the lady, apparently finished with scrutinizing Ollivia, spoke again with a deep sigh. "No wonder my husband fell in love with you,” She sighed. Olivia went dumbfounded as soon as she heard the other party’s words, but then her heart skipped in her chest and she swallowed har
***** Tasha suddenly challenged, slowly standing up, her voice becoming aggressive, immediately causing Olivia to flinch at her scary tone. "Did you even know that he went so far as to invite you out of the city and put an aphrodisiac in the meal you refused just so he could have you?!" Tasha finally yelled, pressing further. “What?!” Olivia’s mouth fell open, momentarily forgetting the terrifying Tasha as soon as she heard the revelation. Olivia's reaction was like cold water that immediately extinguished Tasha’s anger. Tasha took a deep breath, gave Olivia a single glance, and then sat down again. "That's right," she nodded in response to Olivia's question before picking up the laptop she had set aside. She navigated with the cursor for a moment before turning the screen back toward Olivia. “You should know this person, no?” She suddenly asked. Olivia, startled, looked at the screen with curiosity. The next second, her entire body went cold and she almost vomited. Within the
***** “You need to tell me what’s going on now, please!” Ava who usually only shows Olive the soft side of herself pleaded, looking really terrified at this moment. She had already known that there was no way for nothing to have not been wrong. This is particularly true after she had resumed dialing Olivia’s cell phone after the call with Rebecca ended, but no matter how many times she called, it remained unanswered. “I…” Olive, who now wore a grim expression on his face instead of his usual charming smile, opened his mouth. However, before he could say a word, a car pulled over before the two. “Auntie,” Rebecca exited and rushed toward them. “Have you been able to get to Olivia now?” She inquired, breathing heavily. Ava instantly sent her a single glare. “No,” she shook her head before looking back at Olive. “You were saying something?” She pleaded “I…” Olive swallowed hard. He had almost blurted everything out in his nervousness just moments ago, but now, with Rebecca’s int
***** Previously, Rebecca's concern about finding Olivia stemmed solely from her mission. However, now realizing that something might have happened to Olivia, she felt it would be best if she were never found again, as her intuition still warned her that Mason still loved Olivia deeply despite his constant reassurances. She regretted speaking as soon as she finished. As she had expected, both Ares and Ava immediately glanced at her. “What did you mean?” They queried in unison, causing Rebecca to swallow hard. “I- I said- I said… I said nothing.” “That was not what I heard!” Both Ares and Ava yelled again, now glaring at Rebecca. Rebecca became uncomfortable the next moment and, for some reason, suddenly felt that her life would be in danger if she didn’t repeat what she had just said. She couldn’t pinpoint the source of this sudden fear, but she knew it enveloped her. "I said... I said that bastard must have rushed away because he received some information about Olivia or her
*****Olive was completely overwhelmed with fear, covered in desperation and goosebumps at this moment.“I should have been wary of that crazy bitch!”“I shouldn’t have taken Olivia out of this city!”“Why was I just too dumb? Just why?!”He continued yelling at himself, banging his fists against his car’s steering, and sobbing hysterically as he drove.Between his wife, Tasha, and Olivia, Olive definitely loves Olivia the most and although many years had passed since he was away from her, Olivia had constantly been on his mind.Whenever he was eating, sleeping, talking, bathing, and doing almost literally everything.It had even reached a point where he always saw Olivia's face on Tasha's whenever they engaged in their primary marital activity. This was the reason that drove Olive to quickly accept the mission to become a spy in Rex City after it was issued to him.He had never expected that he would one day lose his woman because of this.While dancing to the tune of his s
