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.

Yet, this sharp pain brought a moment of clarity.

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

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