Chapter 513: Revenge Served Cold

Chapter 513: Revenge Served Cold

Olivia shuddered at the malice on Emma’s face. Until now, she had been worried about Emma being a threat but suddenly things felt much more real. She’d guessed that Emma had been behind the accident and behind that oil with the poisoned fumes. Of course she had also given her something just now to make her dizzy.

She needed to escape. Finally, the knot on her hands had come undone which meant that she would have to take action before anything Emma realized what to do. Carefully, she wrapped the rope around her and started to think of an escape plan. At the moment, they were too close to each other and Emma stood between the escape route and her.

With her pregnancy, she would not be able to run fast so she’d need to make sure that Emma couldn’t follow her immediately. Adrenaline surged through her as she lunged forward, her fist connecting with Emma’s face with surprising force. Emma stumbled backward, stunned by the sudden blow. Seizing the opportunity, Olivia pushed her into the nearby chair, restraining her arms behind her back with the rope and tying it much more securely than Emma had tied hers.

"You won’t get away with this, Olivia!" Emma spat, her voice laced with venom. Do you really think he is going to come here to rescue you? I’ve set up a few distractions for him! He must be running around the city looking for you! And when he ultimately finds you? Its going to be too late! Just like it was too late for me and my parents!"

Ignoring Emma’s threats, Olivia raced towards the door. They were in a basement so of course there were no windows. The door was her only way to escape. However, as she reached it to turn around the handle, she realized that it was locked...She jiggled the door handle, praying desperately that it would open by some miracle. But it would not budge. There was no key hole, nothing that would tell her how to get this open.

She could still hear, Emma’s gloating voice echoing in the room," It unlocks from outside, Olivia. You see, I could not risk something like this. You’re going to be trapped in here with me, forever... or Until ’the end. Your end.’

Ignoring her, Olivia pounded on the door, desperately screaming," Help! Is somebody there?"

Even if no one could hear her, she would not give up and go down without a fight. Even if she had to scream until she could no longer make a sound.

Just as Emma continued to gloat, and Olivia felt more and more hopeless,

a faint knocking sounded from the other side of the door, causing Olivia’s heart to leap with hope.

"Mrs. Frost? Is that you?" came a voice from beyond the door. It was Detective Davis. The woman was in charge of this case! If she’d found her, then she would inform Seb as well.

Olivia’s breath caught in her throat as she recognized the familiar voice. Relief flooded through her, washing away some of the fear and uncertainty that had consumed her moments before.

"D-Detective Davis!" Olivia called out, her voice trembling with emotion. "Please, help me! I’m trapped in here with Emma! Please call Seb!"

There was a moment of silence from the other side, before the Detective’s voice came through again," Mrs Frost, step back! I’ll try to break open the door."

Hurriedly, Olivia stepped back, being careful to keep some distance between herself and Emma as well. The woman seemed to have gone as she tried to extract herself frantically from the chair.

Just then, the sound of the door clicking open sounded and Detective Davis stepped in. Olivia almost slumped back in relief at the sight of the woman.

"Are you okay?", Detective Davis’ voice sounded in concern.

Olivia nodded and leaned against the wall, and nodded slowly. She opened her mouth to question the detective about Seb when she realized that the Detective was walking towards Emma.

Olivia tried to warn the Detective about Emma’s heightened state, but then froze in shock at the scene before her.

Instead of apprehending Emma or even moving to arrest her, the detective was untying her from the chair. Confusion and disbelief washed over Olivia as she struggled to make sense of what was happening.

"Detective Davis, what are you doing?" Olivia exclaimed, her voice trembling with disbelief. They needed to call for back up before that. What if Emma attacked the detective?

But before she could receive an answer, Emma threw herself into the detective’s arms, her body racked with sobs. Olivia’s breath caught in her throat as she watched the unexpected scene, her mind reeling with confusion.

And then, the detective, wound her arms around Emma and started to console her ina soft voice.

"She hit me, Rachel! This woman hit me! I want to hurt her but I didn’t! I was not strong enough! Hit her Rachel!"

As she heard Emma’s words, Olivia stiffened in shock. This couldn’t be! Detective Davis and Emma? How could it be...

But now was not the time to think this. She’d let down her guard and now she was faced with not one but two opponents. She slid along the wall, hoping to make an escape before the women turned their attention to her.

Just as she reached the door, Olivia cast a quick glance inside, checking to see them, but froze in horror at the sight of the gun pointed at her. "Mrs Frost. You would do well to not move an inch. Or else, I will be forced to use this gun. And mind you, I can use it quite well."

Fear coursed through her veins as she met Rachel’s steely gaze, her mind racing with a million thoughts and possibilities. She was truly trapped.

Slowly, she felt the doors of opportunity closing on her and felt despair take place of hope. Would she really never see Seb again?
