Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 480 Oscar Is Still Alivel

Melody had went back to her place to gather some belongings.

Zev had Melody stay at his house for a while since Kelly was approaching the due date. This way, the could look out for each other.

Melody went to the bathroom to get some of her usual toiletries. Just as she stepped out of the bathroom she locked eyes with someone stealthily climbing in through the window.

Her breath hitched. A scream rose in her throat, but before she could make a sound, the intruder lunged forward, clamping a hand over her mouth.

"Don't scream! I don't want to hurt you. I'm only here to find something. If you cooperate and hand it over, I promise you and your baby won't be harmed," the man spoke in a low, hushed tone. "Otherwise, you and your child will never see your husband again."

A cold shiver ran down Melody's spine. She stood frozen, wide-eyed, her entire body stiff with fear.

The man signaled for her to stay quiet before slowly releasing his hand from her mouth.

"You... What did you say? See my husband again? Is he still alive?" Melody's voice trembled as she grabbed the man's arm in agitation.

The man's tone turned threatening. "I only want what Oscar left behind. As long as you give it to me, I guarantee you, your baby, and Oscar will all be safe."

Tears welled up in Melody's eyes. "You're lying! My husband is dead. I saw his cremation with my own eyes. His ashes were buried. It's impossible..."

"Before Patrick left, he bribed people at the hospital to fake Oscar's death and took him away. He's in Patrick's hands now. If you don't cooperate, you'll never see him again," the man revealed.

Patrick had ordered strict silence on the matter. However, the mole in Seaville was desperate to find and destroy the evidence, fearing that his identity would be exposed sooner or later. He didn't care if the secret about Oscar being alive got out-he only wanted to eliminate the proof.

Melody's breathing quickened, but she forced herself to stay calm and negotiate. "I ... I don't believe you. Not unless you let me see Oscar ...

"That's not happening. You don't have to believe me, but understand this-your life is in my hands." The man had already pressed a knife to her throat.

Melody's face went pale with fear. She swallowed hard. "What exactly do you want...?"

"The things Oscar left behind before he died," said the man grimly.

"I have no idea what he left. We were already divorced... He rarely even came home," Melody spoke nervously, stalling for time.

The driver was waiting for her downstairs. If she didn't come down soon, he would definitely sense that something was wrong.

"Stop wasting time. Think carefully-where would Oscar have hidden it?" The man's gaze bore into her.

Melody thought for a moment. "His study..."
