RedNovelChapter 256 Chapter 256 The decision was made, and there was no going back.
But deep down, I wondered if this was truly what we had all been waiting for. Or if it was just the beginning of something far worse than any of us could have ever imagined.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis men didn't question him. They simply went to work, following their boss's orders without hesitation. The cold efficiency of their actions made my stomach turn. I stood at the sidelines, watching as they prepared to carry out whatever twisted plan Luke had in mind.
Part ofdesperately hoped it would end with nothing more than the destruction of an old house, a symbol of whatever Xander's past had been. But deep down, I knew it was never going to be that simple. Then, I heard Ethan's voice cut through the silence. His words sent a chill down my spine. "I found where his father is buried." I froze.
My heart pounded in my chest as I turned sharply toward him, my eyes narrowing with horror. A wave of dread washed over me. I knew exactly where this was going, and I wasn't sure I could bear to watch. I glared at him, a surge of anger and disbelief rising within me.
"What are you going to do with a grave, Luke? Don't bring the dead into this. Leave them in peace." Luke's chuckle was low, almost predatory. He looked at me, his eyes gleaming with a dark amusement. There was something unsettling about the way he carried himself now, like a man who had completely abandoned any notion of morality.
"At least his father is dead," he said, his voice dripping with a venomous calm. "Whatever I do, it will only hurt him. Not his father's bones. But my daughter, Olivia... she's alive. She's the one who's feeling the pain. The pain that bastard inflicted on her. And now, it's tfor him to feel it, too." The way he said Olivia's name, it wasn't just anger; it was pure, unbridled rage. It was as if he believed that taking this action would somehow make things right. But I could see it in his eyes, the obsession, the way he fixated on revenge as if it would bring him peace. I didn't know what to say. Part ofwanted to stop him, to beg him to reconsider. But I knew Luke, knew that trying to talk sense into him now was a lost cause. What botheredmost was how easily Ethan had cto this conclusion. There was no hesitation in his voice, no second thoughts. He had fully embraced this path, a path that would lead them to the grave of a man long dead.
But for Ethan, it wasn't about justice or closure, it was about making the man who had hurt Olivia suffer. I could hear the bitterness in his words as he spoke of Olivia. He wasn't wrong; she was alive, and she was the one who had been left to bear the scars of her father's cruelty. I couldn't argue with that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut this, this was something else entirely. Destroying a dead man's grave wouldn't fix anything. It wouldn't heal Olivia's wounds. It would only tear open more. But Luke and Ethan didn't see it that way. They were too consumed by their rage to care about the consequences.
"You don't get it, do you?" I said, my voice shaking with frustration. "Destroying his grave won't bring Olivia back from what he did to her. It won't undo the damage. It won't stop the pain." Luke's eyes narrowed as he took a step closer. "I'm not trying to undo anything. I'm not trying to fix things. I'm making him pay for every moment he caused my daughter to suffer. And if you're not withthen you're against me.' His words hitlike a slap in the face, but the bitterness of them didn't surprise me, Luke had never been someone to think things through. He was always driven by instinct, by raw emotion. And right now, he was consumed by the idea of retribution. Nothing else mattered I wanted to walk away. I wanted to turn my back on him, on this madness.
But I couldn't. Not when there was so much at stake. Not when the island itself was teetering on the edge of destruction, and I was the only one who might still have the power to stop it. But how could I stop Luke when he +25 BONUS
