Chapter 81: Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Diana’s pov My back hit the iron railing heavily.

The surging sea churned behind me. The wind blew my hair.

Lewis finally stopped.

“Why...why are you fine after inhaling the incense?”

I asked the doubts in my heart.

Lewis laughed heartily and said, “Do you think as the leader of Blood Shadow Pack, I would attend such an occasion unprepared? I have had an invincible constitution! Now that you are in my hands, I don’t believe Alpha Nathan dares not listen to me.”

Coldness and despair spread from the bottom of my heart.

But after learning the result, I actually calmed down.

“Unfortunately, your plan is destined to fall through,” I said almost self deprecatingly.

Nathan hated me so much. How could he give up the formula to save his beloved Avia for me?

“What do you mean?” Lewis asked in surprise.

Before I could answer him, Nathan rushed onto the deck with his men.

“Lewis, let go of her,” Nathan said. “I can guarantee that I won’t kill you once you tell me the formula.”

“I said, no one can get the formula from me! I will definitely not tell you!” Lewis roared.

“So...” Nathan paused for a moment and said coldly, “Are you ready to die?”

“Hahaha...” Lewis suddenly burst out laughing arrogantly. “Alpha Nathan, did you get the situation wrong? Your woman is in my hands. You are the one to make a choice.”

Nathan’s eyebrows slightly raised, his expression contemptuous, as if hearing a joke.

Lewis thought this was Nathan’s nervous expression and boasted-

“Alpha Nathan, if you don’t want this woman to die, prepare a boat for me and let me go! When I reach a safe place, I will naturally let her go.”

Silence!

I didn’t hear anything except for the sound of the wind and the waves crashing against the cruise ship.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Nathan let out a sneer as if he couldn’t help it anymore.

He walked casually towards Lewis, his eyes full of undisguised mockery.

Lewis was frightened and screamed uncontrollably.

“Don’t get any closer! If you do, I’ll kill her!”

Although Lewis was just bluffing, I could feel his sharp wolf claws piercing through the skin of my neck under intense pressure and stimulation.

Blood was flowing down my neck. I couldn’t breathe anymore...

Nathan still didn’t stop.

The salty sea breeze enveloped his cold voice, piercing my ears like a sharp blade.

He said–

“Sure! If you want to kill her, then kill her. But if you want to run away, no way!”

Lewis was stunned and shouted incredulously, “Are you crazy? She’s your lover!”

“Lover?” Nathan frowned, tilted his head slightly, and smiled. “Why don’t you ask her name?”

Lewis turned his head to look at me.

Despite knowing Nathan’s choice, my heart couldn’t help but ache.

The intimacy last night, the concern in the morning, the tightly clenched hands just now... I thought Nathan still had an inch of sincerity towards me, but it turned out that I was deceiving myself./

All of this was his performance to confuse Lewis and obtain the formula to save Avia.

But...even though my heart was riddled with wounds and pain, I still didn’t want to show any fragility in this situation.

Since Nathan didn’t care about me, I should not care about him, even if it was a facade.

Nathan had left me no dignity. I couldn’t lose my self–esteem anymore.

Not even die...

“My name is Diana.” I forced myself to show an indifferent smile, even though some warm liquid was rolling down my cheeks. “I have nothing to do with Alpha Nathan Even if you kill me, he won’t even frown.”

“Diana... Diana? Diana!”

Lewis’s tone went from confusion to shock and finally to rage!

He roared angrily, “You are the unwanted ex–wife of Alpha Nathan?”

Unwanted...ex–wife...

How ironic?

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

My vision became increasingly blurred. With my swollen eyes, I couldn’t see the clouds in the sky, the vast sea, or Nathan’s expression.

I thought he should be happy at this moment.

Not only could he capture Lewis alive, but he could also use his hand to solve me....his unwanted ex–wife, as well as ‘the murderer of his beloved Avia‘!

“Yes. So, your plan falls through...”

I admitted in suffocation, but my hands quietly clenched into fists, accumulating strength.

Nathan wouldn’t save me. The only one who could save me was myself.

I wouldn’t be so foolish to give up my life because of Nathan’s selfishness and madness.

Lewis roared uncontrollably.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you, you bitch!”

He suddenly lifted the wolf claw that was gripping my neck and struck me with a fatal blow.

At the same time, I no longer held back and prepared to attack him.

However Bang!

A gunshot pierced through the sky.

“Ah-”

Lewis let out a heart wrenching scream.

I looked at him in a daze and found that his wrist had been pierced by a bullet.

The impact of the bullet made him lean backwards, instantly releasing the other hand that was holding me back.

“Diana! Come here!” Nathan shouted at me with a gun in his hand.

I should have run.

If I hadn’t seen Lewis stabilizing his body and trying to swallow a pill...

My brain was spinning rapidly.

If I was not mistaken, it was exactly the stimulant.

No way! I couldn’t let him swallow that pill.

Ryley once said that without an antidote, the effect of the stimulant was irreparable. I didn’t have an antidote...I didn’t even know what its ingredients were.

And Lewis, he must not die now!

It was almost an instinctive reaction. While I was thinking about it, I had already rushed towards Lewis.

Before Lewis was about to put the pill into his mouth, I grabbed his wrist and used all my strength to knock it out of his hand.

Losing the last chance, Lewis went completely crazy and punched me in the chest. All of this happened in a few seconds...

My body suddenly jumped over the iron railing under the heavy blow, falling down like a lifeless leaf...

Before the seawater completely engulfed me, I heard a heart wrenching scream–

“Diana!”
