Chapter 908


    Josephine was dazed.


    She was stunned while her mind was nk. She was too shocked to react for a very long while.


    Zayne waved a hand in front of her, but Josephine did not seem to react to that either.


    Zayne reached out to pinch hard at her earlobes. The pain from this pulled Josephine''s


    consciousness back to the present.


    She stared nkly at Zayne. "What about my brother?”


    Jay Ares had always been the pir of hope for the Ares family. In the face of such misfortune, it


    would make sense that he was the first person Josephine thought of.


    Zayne replied, "He''s back at Tourmaline Estate now that he has ensured Angeline and their three


    kids would be taken care of. He has resigned to sharing the Ares family''s fate with Grand Old


    Master and everyone else."


    Josephine''splexion paled. Jay must really be out of options to go so far as creating a path for


    Sis Angeline and the three children to escape.


    "Then... when is this disaster due?" Josephine prayed and hoped that the day wouldeter.


    Zayne was upset. "The Signal of Death D13 has already


    appeared on one of Tourmaline Estate''s towers. 13 represents the deadline, and it''s four days from


    now."


    Josephine’s eyes widened...


    A heart-wrenching scream echoed in the room. "No!"


    It was followed by a strong struggle against the shackles around her hands. She began to shout,


    "Let m e go, Zayne. I want to go home, I want to go home."


    Not knowing what to do with Josephine''s sudden emotional outburst, Zayne began to console


    Josephine with all he could. "It’ll be alright, Josephine. Stop, please."


    There was no way Josephine could quiet down, not when her body seemed to be possessed by


    some prehistoric monstrous creature. She was struggling and yelling with everything within her.


    "I have to apologize to my father, Zayne. I''ve misunderstood him. Please, let me at least see him


    onest time. Let me apologize."


    "No. You can''t contact anyone from the Ares family, Josephine, or this evil organization will ce


    you on their cklist too.”


    "So what if I die? At least I''ll be dying with the Ares family. Please, Zayne, I''m begging you. Let me


    go."


    "No, Josephine. I won''t let you kill yourself like this."


    Josephine shouted and yelled, "Who are you to stop m e from killing myself, Zayne? You were the


    one who took away my will to live. Do you have any idea how


    many times I’ve stood at the edge of a building with the thought to jump and end all this suffering


    and pain? Why are you stopping me now that I can finally end my life with my family?"


    The corners of Zayne''s eyes reddened, dyed so by the bloodshot veins inside.


    "I''m sorry, Josephine. I am so sorry..."


    "What''s the use of you saying sorry now? You act as if you don''t say it all the time. You''ve


    completely killed off every lingering thought I had for you now that you have a wonderful wife waiting


    for you at home. I don''t want to live anymore. I want my parents and I want m y brother. I want the


    people who actually love me.” Josephine wailed, her sobsing from the bottom of her heart.


    Zayne held her tight against him, afraid that Josephine would free herself from the ties.

    Josephine''s words had cut deep into his heart, stabbing into it mercilessly like knives.


    "Of all the people, you''re thest person I want to hurt. Yet I end up hurting you anyway and I hate


    myself for i t. I’m so sorry, Josephine."


    Exhausted, Josephine fell onto the bed and stared nkly at the white ceiling above.


    Slowly, Zayne loosened his grip as well. Both their bones and muscles ached as if they had been


    pushed into an intense game of tug-of-war.


    Zayne crashed next to Josephine, his expression looking lost. "I know it hurts, Josephine, I know.


    But you''re not the only one in pain. Such is life. We''ve been brought to this world, and your only job


    is to live. That’s the only meaning of life, to live. There is no such thing as an easy life."


    “Live, Josephine. You have to live." He begged.


    Sorrow swam in Josephine’s eyes as tears trickled out of them against her will.


    She missed her parents, her brother, and her grandfather. She missed everyone in the Ares family.


    If only she had been more forgiving. If only she had not up and left them so impulsively.
