Even After Death Novel (Olivia)

Olivia fainted so suddenly that Ethan couldn't register the situation yet. All he could do was to make assumptions. She had been the enemy's target since the beginning.

Willow ran toward Olivia's side. The intense ringing bell gave away how anxious she was. Ethan darted to reach Olivia. He didn't know spells, so he didn't know what to do at this time. All he could do was stand right there. He tried to touch her with his hands, but he soon withdrew them.

"Willow, w-what happened to your mother?" His voice trembled in concern.

A pale-faced Olivia lay on the floor as though she was sleeping.

While Willow was still checking on Olivia, Jacqueline suddenly blurted from behind, "Stop wasting your time. Olivia's gonna be gone for good!"

She could've just stayed silent. Now that she had spoken up, Ethan turned his head and glared at her. Before she could react, he grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall. The iron chains rattled as the back of her head hit the wall.

Her head began spinning. The world was turning upside down before her as well.

She opened her eyes. The moment she saw Ethan's eyes, which were brimming with resentment, Jacqueline knew that she was dead meat unless she spilled the beans.

"Ethan Miller, if you kill me, don't think of saving Olivia anymore. She and I are under the same curse the Lifebond Curse. There's only one person who can lift it in this world." When she said that, she could feel him relaxing his hand around her neck a little.

She licked her blood-stained lips before explaining, "There's another name to it, Love Curse. It was used during the old times. It was formulated for women to punish their partner who betrayed them. "But the curse was modified. When it's cast on two people, their fates are bound to each other. If one dies, the other one dies too. If you kill me, Olivia will die too. Do you know what will happen then?" "What?" Ethan demanded an answer.

"The poison will become reactive and ruin her organs. Everything in her will dissolve like lava. Nothing will be able to save her!"

The sheer explanation was disgusting and infuriating. Ethan, who was all riled up, slapped her. "You're the one who should be dead!"

Fresh blood trickled down from the corner of her lips, but she smiled nevertheless. "So what? It wasn't easy for me to escape that mountain. I'll do whatever it means to stay alive!

"Isn't Olivia the genius? Let's see if you guys can bring yourselves to let her die with me. Olivia and I will live or die together!"

Jacqueline had lost her sanity. Ethan was not far from losing his sanity either.

It wasn't easy for him and Olivia to come this far together. After what she had suffered in the past, she was supposed to be enjoying her life by now. But why was everything going at odds against her and bringing her to death's door again?

Ethan's eyes lost his focus. There was a voice screaming the same thing in his head-kill Jacqueline. Jacqueline was the cause of everything. She ruined everything!

She laughed. "Well, well, well. I never knew that you'd end up like this, Olivia. I'm going to bring you down to hell together. I like the idea. Let's die together!"

A gun suddenly clicked at her forehead.

Her laughter stopped.

"Go to hell, then."
