-Elise rummaged through Heather’s belongings and found the
tocolytic drugs in the bag.
“You’re pregnant.” Elise raised her head in Heather’s direction and asked, “Is Matthew the father?”
“Why do you care? Why should I tell you?”
To Heather, Elise was only Alexander’s plaything to pass the time. She’s nothing to be afraid of.
“You’re right. It has nothing to do with me.” Putting the medications aside, Elise sat upright. “Let’s talk
about something to do with me. For example, where’s Danny?”
“Why do you ask me?” Heather turned her head aside, not even deigning to answer the question.
“If you ever hope to see Matthew again, you’ll have to be a bit more cooperative.” Elise tried to
convince her.
Heather sneered. “I don’t care. If the price to see him is his freedom, I would rather not see him for the
rest of my life.”
Elise had a first-hand experience of Heather’s stubbornness many years ago. It seems persuasion or
reason doesn’t work for her.
After studying Heather’s for a while, Elise landed her gaze on the hands Heather placed around her
belly.
A woman’s child was her weakness.
Elise adjusted her expression before changing the topic. “You’ve been on the run with Matthew over
the last few years. I bet you feel insecure about it.”
Elise began the topic by putting herself in Heather’s shoes. For the first time, Heather felt that
somebody could understand her.
But she refused to give in. “What makes you think so? I’m quite happy to stay by my lover’s side.”
“You’re right. I agree with you on that.” Instead of refuting the words, Elise simply continued, “Just like
me and Alexander. I used to look up at him, and I never once dreamt about becoming his lover. Well,
look at me now. I always wonder what I have done to deserve him. I’ll give up on everything just to be
with him, and I won’t regret it one bit.”
At that, Raymond’s eyes widened in surprise. He secretly took out his phone to record the
conversation.
This record had better bring me a promotion and a pay raise.
Heather was moved by Elise’s words. Each of them touched a soft spot in her heart. After all, she also
adored Matthew as if he was untouchable.
However, she was instantly on the alert once she digested the words. “Why are you telling me this? I’m
not interested in your love story.”
Heather had the feeling that the woman in front of her was trying to set her up, but she had no idea
what the woman would do. The helplessness pushed her onto the edge as she fidgeted on the ground.
“Let me help you up.” Elise bent down to help Heather to her feet.
Heather found the whole situation bizarre as she wasn’t aware that she was talking to Elise Sinclair.
She only remarked coldly, “You’re wrong if you think you can turn me against Matthew just because
you’re being nice.”
“I didn’t say that. I’m offering you a future,” Elise said.
“What do you mean?” Heather didn’t get it.
“Take a seat. I’ll explain to you.”
Elise took a seat before finally continuing with a slow tone, “First of all, Alexander chose me because
he has moved on. I’m glad he doesn’t dwell on his past, and the things and people of his past.”
She paused for a moment, letting Heather think of Elise on her own.
“Thus, if you can help us in finding Danny and convincing Matthew to move on, I’ll also ask Alexander
not to go after both of you. Furthermore, I’ll help you to settle down in a place, where nobody knows
you, to start a new life.”
“You and Matthew can get married like an ordinary couple in the new place. You can also walk on the
streets hand in hand. Most importantly, your baby will be born as a legitimate child. As long as you put
the effort into your relationship, you could be as happy as me.”
Heather always dreamt of such a kind of life.
She felt it in her heart. She even started envisioning a future of holding Matthew and their child while
walking in the streets in broad daylight.
All these years, they had been on the run. Any sign of trouble, and they were forced to move again.
Aside from avoiding the police, they also worried that the men from Smith Co. were coming after them.
If the woman was true about Alexander willing to move on and repay them with kindness, Heather
believed that he was capable of giving Heather and Matthew a promising future.
She had been acting tough for a long time, and now she was longing to let her guard down and be a
normal person. All she wanted was to live a normal life in Matthew’s company.
“Even if you don’t have any problem leading the life of a vagrant, think about your child. The conflict
between the two siblings will only grow more intense. You can’t guarantee your child is safe in the
conflict.” Elise pressed the matter.
She’s right. This is my only child. I’ll do anything to keep my child.
Her spiel gave Heather hope. Just when she was about to agree with the woman in front of her, words
got caught in her throat. She had second thoughts when she was greeted by the look of expectation in
Elise’s eyes.
She is Alexander’s woman. Judging from how cunning the man is, his woman must be planning for
something, too.
“What’s wrong?” Elise maintained a gentle smile on her face. “If you have different ideas, don’t hesitate
to tell me. I’ll try my best to meet them.”
However, Heather shook again before saying, “I don’t trust you.”
“Well, I won’t force you. Alright, just let them fight until there’s only one winner left.” Elise waved her
hand in dismissal. “Raymond, see Miss Langford in the basement. Keep an eye on her.”
Heather didn’t take offense at the treatment. Instead, she smiled to herself. I’m right. She’s trying to set
me up.
She surged to her feet with a calm expression and followed Raymond.
Before she could make it far, Elise called out to Heather, a ghost smile appearing on her face. “I
wonder who the last man standing will be.”
It was a life-and-death struggle awaiting Alexander and Matthew, and there could only be one winner.
Death was the only consequence Matthew would ever face. Elise believed that she already warned
Heather enough.
“That’s all I want to say. Bring her to the basement.”
…
Matthew was standing on the rooftop of a building, which was the tallest among the other buildings
around Times Square. He was looking for Alexander in Times Square with binoculars.
However, Alexander was nowhere to be seen even after Matthew put in an effort to find him. Matthew
gritted his teeth in annoyance.
It’s 5.00PM. Why isn’t Alexander showing up? Does he already give up on Danny?
Impossible. He cares about his reputation. He won’t allow anything to taint his name, so he will save
Danny nonetheless.
He will show up. My plan is foolproof.
That being said, Matthew dialed Alexander’s number.
After some time, Alexander finally answered the call.
“Are you still searching for Danny? I’ll have you know that I changed my mind. If you don’t kill enough
people in the live stream before sunset, I’ll kill Danny,” Matthew threatened with a low voice.
The callee didn’t immediately answer.
Matthew was confused. “What’s with the silence? Are you trying to chicken out now?”
“Kind of,” Alexander replied with a casual tone. “I have a feeling that if you have planned not to let
Danny live since the beginning, he would still be dead even if I complied with you. If my intuition is right,
I don’t see a point in showing up at Times Square.”
“Don’t you dare!” Matthew panicked a little. Gritting his teeth, he compromised. “Fine. We’ll stick to the
original deal. If you kill one hundred people before 12.00AM, I’ll let Danny go.”
“Glad to hear it. It seems like you understand only honest people are trustable.”
Matthew hung up on him in anger.
It’s been seven years, but I still mean nothing to him.
The next moment, he let the fact go. He exhaled and gazed into the distance with narrowed eyes.
Alexander, struggle all you want. You’ll meet your doom within a few hours.
After tonight, Alexander’s name will be connected to the terrorists, and even representing them. He can
no longer look down upon me.
