Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

“Hahaha.” Seren tilted his head back and laughed maniacally. “Felix, you’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation! What right do you have to negotiate with me?”

He forcefully pulled Vicki in front of him. “Now, I have more than one hostage in my hands. This woman is carrying your child. Do you think my bargaining chip is enough?”

Felix clenched his fists tightly, not daring to breathe. His biggest concern was that Seren would kick Vicki’s abdomen right then and there, causing her to miscarry. It was something Seren was capable of doing.

Squinting his eyes, Seren smirked wickedly. “Judging by your expression, you’re very worried about your child, aren’t you? And you’re worried about her? Shall we play something exciting? It’s been a while since I’ve touched a pregnant woman, and it would be even more thrilling to do it in front of you. Would you like to witness it? A live performance?”

As Seren spoke, a lewd expression crossed his face, clearly eager to indulge in his desires.

“Don’t touch her, I’ll give you the key,” Felix exclaimed, his voice filled with shock. “Just like you said, I’ll give you the key. Once you reach a safe place, you can release Vicki. During this time, you are not allowed to harm her in any way. Otherwise, no matter where you hide, I won’t let it go.”

With that, Felix raised his hand, and the key gracefully arced through the air, landing directly in front of Seren.

“Don’t give him the key!” Vicki shouted sternly, but it was too late. “Idiot, I don’t even know whose child I’m carrying! Seren, on what basis do you assume it’s Felix’s? Don’t you know that Cloud and I have a special relationship?”

Seren caught the key with his hand, revealing a cold and sinister smile. “It doesn’t matter whose child it is.”

In his mind, he added, because he couldn’t let the child be born alive.

Having obtained the key to the vault, Seren grabbed Vicki by her collar. “Darling, it’s time for us to leave. The helicopter will come to pick us up soon, and as long as you’re with me, no one dares to touch me. Hahaha!”

Vicki was overpowered by Seren, looking up in anguish at Felix. “What are you standing there for? I told you not to worry about me! Tell your men to capture him! It will all be over then. His helicopter hasn’t arrived yet, so act quickly. There aren’t many people on his side! I told you the child isn’t yours, but you still want to play the cheap father? Felix, you’re being stupid!”

Felix gazed at her with clear, moist eyes and shook his head gently. “Vicki, no matter what you say, I won’t give up on you.”

She had used this tactic before, and it had no effect on him. He wouldn’t believe her, no matter how harsh her words were. She and her child were his everything.

A hint of helplessness flickered in Vicki’s eyes. She couldn’t let Seren leave like this; today, there had to be a resolution. She had only one final option left.

At that moment, Luther and Mr. Ball arrived with another group of people. When Luther saw the situation in front of him, he felt a chill run down his spine. It felt like they were back to square one, and this situation was extremely disadvantageous for them.

Earlier, Luther had a brief conversation with Felix and learned that Seren had a connection to Athena as well. That persistent woman was like a nightmare.

He understood Felix’s feelings and would never let Vicki be abandoned.

Seeing others approaching, Seren held a sharp dagger against Vicki’s neck. “Tell your people to back off.”

Unwilling to accept this, Mr. Ball whispered to Luther, “I can lead a team to flank him from behind. What do you think?”

“It’s too late. I already heard the sound of the helicopter,” Luther shook his head.

He remembered that Athena had asked him to prepare two satellite positioning devices, not only for tracking but also for concealment. At that time, Alisha was in Athena’s hands, and he followed the instructions. These satellite positioning devices were likely used by Athena to escape the jurisdiction of Khebury. Back then, he couldn’t have imagined Athena’s intentions, and now it was impossible to stop her.

Once Seren boarded the foreign helicopter provided by Athena, they would have no authority to shoot it down, and besides, Vicki would still be on the helicopter.

Once Seren reached a safe place, he wouldn’t release Vicki. Itwould be a dead end.

Everyone understood their powerlessness in this situation.

Vicki faintly heard the sound of the helicopter. She closed her eyes, knowing that they couldn’t delay any longer.

She had made up her mind.

She wanted to die together with Seren!

This matter began with her and would end with her. That way, everyone would be relieved.

Before Seren could react, he suddenly heard a click. Then he felt a cold sensation on his wrist-a metallic object clasping onto it.

He quickly released the dagger, staring at Vicki in disbelief.

Vicki somehow managed to unlock the handcuffs and cuff both of their wrists together.

“What are you doing?” Seren growled, his eyes filled with anger.

“Don’t you know?” Vicki’s lips curved with a coldness. “I only need half a minute to unfasten the handcuffs. The chain on my wrist also conceals a mechanism. It’s a small bomb. Just enough for both of us to die together.”

Seren’s face paled instantly. He never expected Vicki to have thoughts of taking their lives together. It was terrifying. He didn’t want to die; he had fought so hard to survive. He absolutely couldn’t die.

Felix stood at a distance from them, but he could still hear Vicki’s words clearly.

“No! Vicki, don’t!” he cried out in sorrow, shaking his head desperately.

He knew Vicki had the intention to bring Seren to his death, but he never imagined that, in order to prevent any further burden on the Saunders family, to sever all ties, Vicki would choose to die with Seren. How could she?!

Vicki looked at Felix with a calm gaze, devoid of any ripples.

Perhaps she had already expected this day would come.

That’s why from the beginning, she didn’t want to get too close to him. Maintaining a physical relationship, staying outside of each other’s hearts, was the best choice to minimize the harm for someone who didn’t know when they would die.

She shouldn’t have softened her heart. She once thought about leaving a child for him.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She shouldn’t have impulsively agreed to marry him, becoming his shackles.

But now, it was all too late.

The wind whistled, rustling the leaves around them.

Vicki spoke each word clearly, “Felix, pretend you never knew me. Goodbye!”

With that, her finger pressed down on the switch, ready to detonate.
