Chapter 28

Olivia’s POV

A couple of calls came in from Ava while we were still in the car. I hesitated to answer at first, but eventually picked

“Liv!” Her voice was frantic. “Ethan-he’s been acquitted. All charges.”

I blinked. “What?”

“He found out your flight information. He’s on his way to the airport.”

I sat there, phone pressed to my ear, too stunned to speak.

“Liv, that guy’s lost it. I don’t know what he’s thinking, but if you don’t want to see him, you need to turn around right now. Find a hotel. I’ll come to you, we’ll hide somewhere if we have to.”

Her urgency jolted me, but instead of reacting, I glanced out the window.

“I need to think,” I said quietly, and hung up.

The car was quiet. I didn’t even need to turn my head to know Alexander and Mike had heard everything. Of course they had. Ava hadn’t exactly whispered the information to me.

Still, neither of them said a word.

After a moment, Mike broke the silence. “Don’t worry about it. Alpha Alexander has a private jet. We’ll go straight to the tarmac. Ethan won’t see you. He won’t even find the plane.”

I turned slightly in my seat, catching Mike’s easy smile in the mirror. “That would be great.”

The relief I felt was instant but shallow. It couldn’t shake the exhaustion behind my eyes.

The cabin of the private jet was far more luxurious than I’d imagined. Soft leather seats, clean modern interiors, and a calm that should’ve made me feel at peace. I leaned against the window and pictured Ethan storming through airport security, only to realize he was too late.

A small smile threatened my lips but didn’t quite form.

The flight attendants served a generous breakfast-fresh fruit, croissants, eggs, things I usually loved-but I barely touched any of it. My appetite had shrunk into the size of a stone.

I ended up staring out the window again, watching clouds stretch across the sky like slow waves. Somewhere out
