My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 254

Chapter 254 On board the yacht, the distant shoreline was just a faint outline.

Elizabeth gazed through the glass as her captors descended into a lifeboat, setting a course for a larger vessel nearby.

As they reached the ship, the endless expanse of the ocean enveloped them, punctuated only by the sporadic cries of seabirds that pierced the quiet.

Theo leaned forward, his breath warm against Elizabeth’s neck.

“You smell delightful,” he murmured.

Elizabeth instinctively recoiled.

Hindered by her bound legs, she stumbled and fell onto the cold floor.

Theo, frustration coloring his tone, crouched beside her and gripped her cheeks tightly.

“Elizabeth, are you still not grasping the gravity of your situation?” he hissed.

“Everyone here is loyal to me.

Where could you possibly flee?”

His fury was palpable, his fingers pressing into her skin with such force that it left her cheeks tinged with red.

Yet, this sharp pain brought a moment of clarity.

If her fate was sealed, perhaps she couldn’t find a way to survive—but she could decide how to face her end with grace.

Embracing the inevitable, she no longer felt the weight of fear.

Through gritted teeth, she forced out the words, “I… I understand.”

Theo stepped back, his brow furrowing in confusion.

“What do you really understand?”
