Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 573

Ariel's mind ceased to function at that moment. A loud ringing filled her ears, and she felt as if the blood in her veins had turned cold. She stood motionless, unable to even lift her foot. The car in front of her was a blur, and everything seemed to fade into white. Ariel held her breath subconsciously. Suddenly, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan came speeding from a certain direction, swerving towards the black car at high velocity. With a thunderous crash, the car heading towards Ariel was sent flying several yards away.

As the night breeze tousled Ariel's hair, the screech of brakes echoed. Before she could recover from the shock, someone approached from behind and swept her up into their arms. In that tight embrace, the faint scent of fir enveloped Ariel. She was then carried into another vehicle. Meeting Jayson's deep-set eyes, Ariel noticed a fleeting moment of vulnerability in his gaze. "Don't look outside," Jayson instructed, not releasing his hold on her.

Encircling her waist, Jayson averted his eyes, leaning in to draw Ariel closer. Held securely, Ariel couldn't see outside but sensed the car trembling upon impact. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt the collision. Jayson instinctively shielded Ariel's neck, his forehead briefly creasing in concern before returning to his usual demeanor. In the ensuing silence, only the sounds of their breathing and heartbeats filled the car. Ariel even detected Jayson's erratic heartbeat.

Having experienced a series of alarming events, Ariel shuddered, drenched in cold sweat. Finally, Jayson met her gaze, gently running his fingers through her hair as she remained in a state of shock. "It's all right now. Would you like to take a look?" Slowly emerging from her daze, Ariel, still bewildered, peered out the window. The black car had vanished, while the Rolls-Royce Cullinan stood not far away. Arthur emerged unharmed from the collision. Jayson joined them, assuring the coast was clear and suggesting they move to a safer location.

Chapter 574

Nancy had been waiting at Goldsbury Bay for nearly an hour, restlessness evident in her demeanor. Her eyes held a defiant gaze as she peered into the distance. Despite inviting Jayson to meet her, Nancy had kept her plans to leave the country a secret, unwilling to give up just yet on their shared history. She couldn't fathom Jayson's apparent lack of emotion or empathy towards her. Before her departure, Nancy yearned for one last encounter with Jayson, aware of the risks but unable to depart without closure.

As two cars arrived, Nancy sprang to her feet upon recognizing the familiar license plate numbers, her eyes brightening with anticipation. Jayson stepped out of the vehicle, causing Nancy's resentment to wane slightly. However, her mood darkened upon seeing Ariel emerging from the car, prompting her to involuntarily step back in shock. Arthur then appeared behind her, offering unexpected support.
