Chapter 547: Orestes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Julie’s POV:

Jack gave me back control of my body, but it was useless.

What could I do? Wake my colleagues and tell them to call the police? Shout to attract the attention of the people outside? Or personally call the emergency number?

Jack made it impossible for everyone to wake up. There were no neighbors in the deserted area. In this strictly controlled manor, only those with the password could use all encrypted external communication methods.

This was an isolated island. 1 couldn’t do anything as useless as I was.

All 1 could do was cry. When my tears ran out, all that was left was a sinful and weak body.

I felt that my soul was about to collapse, and my life was about to undergo another huge change. This time, it was not like before. Even someone as stupid as me could realize that death was coming. I brought death to others, and death would find me.

The Evaria Family would not let me off if 1 knew such a shocking secret. When 1 got back, Jack would kill me personally.

He didn’t care about me at all. He didn’t acknowledge me, didn’t need me, and didn’t love me.

At this moment, 1 realized that everything was just wishful thinking.

Ice-cold fear instantly surged into my heart. The ice-cold blood made my naked skin have a layer of goosebumps.

I realized that I didn’t want to die at all. The reason 1 had been struggling for so many years wasn’t that 1 was strong but because 1 was afraid of death. 1 would rather live like a stray dog than die.

I fantasized about running away. For example, 1 would open the window now and run wildly in the rain. 1 knew the nearest distance from here to the manor gate and that an emergency phone in the guard room could be used. Just a minute, just a call to the police, and everything would be over. The truth would be revealed, the sins would be punished, and 1 could continue living.

But in the next second, the silver knife that was indistinct in the blood reminded me, ‘Impossible, all fantasies were false. I couldn’t open the window because as long as Jack wanted to, this knife that had just taken a life could immediately kill me.

“Don’t do this to me, Jack. 1 beg you.” 1 trembled as 1 muttered to myself, “1 am your mother. 1 am your family. Even if you don’t love me, on account of the fact that 1 gave birth to you, aren’t you willing to give me a share of your friendship? 1 don’t want to die, child. I’ve struggled to live until now. I can endure all the torture, but I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die…”

I didn’t know if Jack heard it, but in the next second, my body suddenly wasn’t under my control anymore. 1 stood up, put on my clothes stiffly, and left the bathroom. Jack didn’t even forget to make me leave only after the blood on my body dried up, so I didn’t even leave a footprint on the way.

Back in the storage room, Jack had already returned to his arrogant and disdainful appearance. He leaned against the window and looked at me impatiently.

“Alright, don’t cry, Madam. Isn’t this done very well? Layla,” he said. “Your mission is complete.

“Why are you so afraid of me? Since you know what awaits you, you should know you can’t escape. Just accept it with honor. Do you know how many people want to die for me but can’t do so? 1 wouldn’t have given you this honor if you weren’t my mother. You should be grateful for this, my lady.

“Alright, now, now. Stop crying now. Your tears are worthless. They only annoy me.”

He walked toward me step by step, and every step was like the scythe of the grim reaper approaching me.

Finally, he stood a step away from me and raised his hand. It looked like a hug, but his hands finally stopped at my temples.

“Farewell, my lady.” He chuckled, seemingly in a very good mood. “Farewell, my stain.”

A heart-wrenching pain exploded in my brain as soon as he finished speaking. I couldn’t help but wail. Jack released his control over me. 1 fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.

It hurt so bad! It hurt so much!

It was as if someone had thrown my brain into a mixing machine, pulled out my brain marrow, and thrown it in as an auxiliary material. Countless blades tore at my nerves. I felt my brain expanding as if it would explode like a balloon in the next second.

This wasn’t an illusion. Something was expanding in my head. I could sense it and knew it was the source of all pain. In a few minutes or seconds, it would bring me death.

‘No, no, no. Goddess, please, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…

‘I’ve lived a life worse than pigs and dogs. I don’t ask for happiness after hardship. Please pity me, a lonely star in the sky, and bestow me with some insignificant favor!

‘I don’t want to die…

‘I don’t want to die!’

At the moment when the pain reached its peak, something silently changed.

I fell into a long period of blankness. My five senses seemed completely disappeared, and

I couldn’t feel anything. After a few seconds or minutes, I could hear painful moans echoing in this small storage room.

That was not me.

I opened my eyes weakly and saw Jack holding his head and crying on the ground..
