Even After Death

Olivia's eyes widened. One should never judge a book by its cover. She didn't expect Alexander to be that witch.

They hadn't eaten anything, so they went to a restaurant for dinner.

They were supposed to be enemies, but they got along pretty well. The atmosphere was harmonious like the calm before the storm.

Ethan was worried that Alexander might cast another curse again, so he personally made them a meal. By the time Ethan was done making a simple dish, Jacqueline was already feasting on the local specialties.

Willow had been keeping an eye on Alexander, worrying that he might cast a curse on them.

Before Ethan and Olivia came here, they imagined the witch to be someone wicked and malicious. But the revelation proved them wrong.

Olivia's knowledge of curses was limited to what she learned from Alora Village. The villagers were behind the society, but they inherited these special skills from generation to generation.

Alexander looked like a gentleman, totally not the image one would have of a witch. Like right now, he was picking out the onions from the food.

Jacqueline was still grumbling, "Did you do this on purpose? You know that I hate onions the most."

"I'm sorry. I told the chef about it. He must've forgotten about it. Have more. Have some soup."

"I want fried rice with shrimp. Pick out the onions for me."

"Okay. Have some soup first. It's good for you."

Olivia rested her chin on her palm, wondering if Jacqueline was the real witch who cast a spell on him.

Jacqueline was dominating while Alexander was submissive. They were still having a tiff as the sun slowly set.

Ethan waved his hand before Olivia. "What are you looking at?"

"The sunset is gorgeous today," she exclaimed.

"I know."

A

She wondered if she would be able to see such a beautiful sunset tomorrow. Jacqueline definitely had a Plan B. As long as she hada chance, she would surely kill Olivia. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Have more. You've become thinner recently."

Olivia could barely have a good night's sleep ever since her mother went missing.

"Okay," she responded. She picked a shrimp and peeled it for Willow. The girl gave her a sweet smile.

Watching them, Jacqueline wondered, "Did Ethan really come unprepared?"

Alexander noticed Jacqueline's worry. He lowered his voice. "Don't worry. I came way before you guys did. They came here alone." This island was far from the mainland and was unpopular among tourists. Thus, it was easy to identify who were the locals.

Jacqueline frowned. "We'd better be careful."

She had received the money, but first, she had to live to spend it.

The sun set, and the sky darkened. Pain began to assault Jacqueline as she screamed in agony. Alexander became frantic. "Jacqueline, what's wrong? What did you guys do to her?"

Ethan said, "She has the Heart Devour Curse. She'll be in pain on every full moon. It's hell for her." "Bastards! How could you do this to her?"

"Bastards? We're nothing compared

to you.

me and I'll do the same for her It's a fair deal," urged Olivia calmly.

It didn't hurt that much since it was just the beginning, so Olivia wasn't affected much.
