Alex found the situation intriguing. She brushed Vivian aside and approached Sienna with one hand in her pocket while the other gently traced Sienna’s face. Admiring Sienna’s beauty, Alex’s gaze drifted down to her fair neck. The slightly loosened collar of her clothing revealed her alluring collarbone.

“You’re so beautiful. It would be a waste to simply destroy you,” Alex remarked.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Sienna felt a wave of goosebumps spread across her skin. Her stomach churned with revulsion, and she recoiled inwardly from Alex’s touch. Despite feeling miserable, nauseous, and fearful, Sienna maintained a composed exterior. She was determined to survive.

Having already sent a distress message to Daniel, all Sienna needed to do was stall for time. She asked, “Vivian is your lover, right?”

Alex nodded in response. “Yes. Why?”

“She’s using you to get revenge on her ex. That means she hasn’t moved on from him. Are you okay with being used like that? Doesn’t it make you angry?” Sienna questioned.

Alex was taken aback.

Infuriated, Vivian sprang to her feet. “You’re lying. I didn’t!”

Flustered and agitated, she added, “Alex, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m not using you to get back at Daniel. I’m helping you take him down.”

Sienna scoffed, her voice icy, “If you want to kill my husband, why not just shoot him or make me do it? You could even take us both out.

“What’s the point of humiliating me and getting me hooked on drugs? Isn’t that just a waste of Alex’s resources and a way to fulfill your twisted grudge?” Vivian’s face turned pale.

Alex’s eyes were sharp, her gaze filled with admiration as she gazed at Sienna. “You’re so calm. Aren’t you afraid of dying?”

“I’m afraid. I’m terrified right now. But does being scared mean I won’t die?” Sienna replied calmly.

“Have you been with Daniel so long that you’ve adopted his fearless and composed demeanor?” Alex asked.

“Alex, do you know my husband?” Sienna asked intentionally.

“Who in our line of work wouldn’t know Daniel after that missile launch that shook the nation two years ago?”

Two years ago, Daniel had been brutally tortured, left disabled, and for dead by the drug lords. In a fit of rage, Nathan launched a missile that obliterated the entire island used for drug cultivation.

The incident caused a massive uproar, resulting in the deaths of many drug lords and traffickers.

Internationally, it was dismissed as a missile malfunction that veered off course. The public remained unaware of the truth, but those in the underworld knew.

That was why Alex had refrained from causing any trouble for Daniel over the past two years. She was afraid to provoke him again.

However, Daniel had relentlessly

pursued her, disrupting her business

operations, capturing her trusted subordinates, and steadily uncovering her identity. She was running out of places to hide.

Knowing that acting first was her only chance to survive, Alex had no choice but to use Vivian to eliminate Daniel. But Alex hadn’t expected Vivian to be unable to get close to Daniel, let alone kill him.

With Daniel married now, targeting Sienna seemed a simpler way to kill him.

“If you kill my husband, aren’t you worried that his brother will retaliate against all of you again?” Sienna asked.

With a half-smile, Alex said, “I’ll handle it so discreetly this time that no one will suspect anything. Daniel will meet his end in what seems to be a crime of passion.” Alex shifted her gaze to Vivian.

Vivian trembled, her face draining of color as she realized she was just a pawn in Alex’s scheme. She had been too trusting.
