Even After Death

Dark clouds layered even before the night dawned.

It was going to rain soon.

Olivia rushed to the mansion in the suburbs.

Before she arrived, she could already see men guarding the area.

Other than men from the Fordham family, some bodyguards worked for the Miller and Heath families.

It was Jacqueline's "honor." Men from three families watched the vicinity.

Not even a rat could sneak into the building.

Kelvin opened the car door.

Ethan got out of the car with Willow in his arms.

She was an independent child, but he was used to carrying her around.

"Mr. Miller, Mrs. Miller, Ms. Willow." It warmed Kelvin's heart to see them together.

Everyone knew what kind of hardships they had gone through to come this far.

Finally, there was a rainbow after the rain.

"How's Jacqueline doing?" "Ms. Leia is inside.

She doesn't allow us to enter, but..." Kelvin paused momentarily.

"I don't think Jacqueline's doing fine.

We can hear her screaming from the outside.

Ms. Leia is one cruel woman." Olivia had experienced Leia's mercilessness firsthand.

If Leia interrogated Jacqueline using the same method she used on Olivia, would Jacqueline be able to handle it? 1 Olivia wondered how Jacqueline would feel.

She looked at Willow.

"Willow, I still have something to do.

Could you wait for me with your father here?" Willow was born different, but she was a child to Olivia regardless.

Olivia couldn't bring herself to let Willow come anywhere close to the dark side of the world.

Shaking her head, Willow freed herself from Ethan to gesture a response.

"Jacqueline has been cursed with a spell." Willow had reminded Olivia about it before.

Olivia didn't know spells that well, but Willow did.

"We'll keep you company," Ethan assured.

"Okay.

Take care of her.

Don't let her see anything too gory." "Got it." Ethan held Willow's hand.

"Let's keep your mother company." In the past, Olivia took a dark and dangerous route all by herself.

But she wasn't going to make the same mistake again.

She had more and more people by her side; she was no longer alone.

There were only two functional lights along the corridor in the run -down mansion.

They found the place at the very last minute.

A faint musty smell filled the building.

Spider webs were hanging below the staircase in the corner.

A moth was trapped in the middle of the web, struggling vigorously to free itself.

However, its instinctive action only made the web coil more around it.

The spider web was shaking due to the vigorous movement of the moth.

At the edge of it stood a huge black spider staring at the moth quietly as if it was gloating at the moth's actions.

Ascream filled the air, adding spookiness to the old mansion.

Olivia opened the door and blocked Willow's view by standing in front of her.

The room was dark as the lights weren't turned on. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Only a ray of sunlight shone into the room from the window.

There were two people in the room.

One of them was kneeling while the other was standing.

The person standing was Leia.

Olivia could only see her back, not her expression.

Jacqueline was on her knees.

Red liquid painted the floor beneath her.

The room reeked of the smell of blood.

Iron chains fettered her limbs.

She slowly lifted her head at the sound of the door opening.

Her cascading hair covered her face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

They seemed lifeless.

A streak of blood adorned the corner of her lips, and she looked feeble.

"You've come." 2
