Ethan was looking around for Olivia. When he found her and Willow unscathed, a wave of relief washed over him. "Where have you been?"
Olivia cast a glance at Jacqueline, who was just nearby, and made up an excuse. "I was spending time with Willow."
"Alexander said that Jacqueline can do the ritual tonight."
"Finally," she exclaimed. She crouched down and whispered to Willow, "Better be careful tonight. They're bad guys. We never know what they have up their sleeves."
Willow nodded.
The night sky dawned, and layers of grey clouds covered the moon with the stars hiding behind them.
Most of the locals went to bed quite early. Places that were still lit up were business operations and army bases.
Dim lights brightened the port, adding a luster to the mood.
That night, Olivia and Jacqueline sat by the beach.
There was a speedboat nearby. Jacqueline reminded sternly, "You can only come after me after three days as promised."
"Yes."
After what Jacqueline had done to the Fordham family, Olivia shouldn't be letting her go that easily, but the three-day graceful period was the promise.
Alexander gazed at Olivia warily. "You'd better keep your promise."
"Let's begin," Olivia prompted. The Lifebond Curse had tortured her long enough. Now, it was time to lift it off.
Alexander informed them about the precautions.
