Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 796 Chapter 797 The call still wouldn't go through. It wasn't what Ariel had expected. Samson met her eyes, then glanced at the phone in her hand. "It didn't go through? Maybe the signal's still down in most areas. You can try again later." Ariel felt a sudden sting in her chest-a feeling she couldn't quite describe. She stayed silent. Samson checked his watch. "You must be hungry. I'll have something prepared for you." He stood and continued, "Just stay put for now. In a foreign country, there's no such thing as a truly good person.

But here, with me, you're safe." 1 It was meant to sound comforting. Ariel said nothing. Her eyes drifted toward the window. Outside, armed guards were stationed in plain view. Clearly, this wasn't somewhere she could come and go freely. Although she knew Samson had a point, she didn't trust him fully. Samson's order was carried out quickly. Ariel glanced at the table. It was filled with Croinian dishes. She asked, "Where are the people who came here with me?" Samson ladled soup into a bowl for her and replied calmly, "They're resting elsewhere.

I'll have them escorted out later." 1 Even though he hadn't shown any open hostility, something in his demeanor felt off. Ariel decided not to confront him. She needed to stay alert and wait for an opening. Samson didn't eat. He just sat there, watching her. 2 She was still the same, calm and composed as ever. There wasn't the slightest trace of emotion toward him. But that very calmness wasn't what he wanted. He had shown his interest in Ariel for so long, but she had never wavered. He wondered why she didn't like him. He wasn't any worse than Jayson in family background or ability.

"If you're bored, just tell me. I can do whatever you want with you." He leaned back in his chair. His eyes were clouded with emotions even he couldn't quite read. Ariel looked at him calmly. "That won't be necessary. I just want to leave as soon as possible." Samson's smile faded slightly, but he didn't show it. With an easy air, he poured Ariel a glass of juice. "Enjoy the food first." 1/2 Chapter 797 Then he stood and walked out. The moment he left, Ariel put down her cutlery and began silently studying the layout of the house. +25 BONUS Outside, Samson's phone buzzed.

He glanced at the caller ID and stepped into the courtyard to answer. "Mr. Pryce, things aren't looking good. Jayson managed to contact the Croinian government directly. They're now involved. They'll go all out to find Ms. Walker." Samson's lips curved into a thin smile. Jayson had earned his place for a reason. Even in a crisis like that, he could still think of the best way out right Check latest chapters at findnovel.net away. With the Croinian government stepping in, there was no way to hold Ariel for long. Bellador couldn't withstand that kind of pressure.

They would dig through the earth to search for Ariel if they had to. He didn't comment on that. Instead, he asked, "How's Jayson doing now?" "As far as we know, he already went in. Chances are, he might not make it out alive." Samson tilted his head back, looking up at the sky. That area was a war zone. Anything could happen there. And most importantly, someone wanted Jayson dead. How could he possibly escape? "Got it," Samson said coolly. As he turned toward the villa gates, he recalled Ariel's guardedness. Even though she hid it well, he could still sense it.

Ariel had no intention of letting him in, and that irritated him. He stood there for a long moment before heading back inside. He believed that Jayson was as good as dead. Sooner or later, Ariel would have to face that reality. Night had fully fallen. A vehicle tore through the dark, bullets grazing past as it sped forward. In this part of the country, civilians lived in constant terror. No one cared whether they lived or died, and evacuation was nearly impossible. Through it all, Jayson never stopped trying to reach Ariel. 2/3
