My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: End Of Flashback
Xander demanded that Xavier be arrested immediately and he was. The officers dragged Xavier away, and Mr Wallace didn’t bother to stop them, his actions confusing Xander.

Arabella’s mother and father grieved the death of their child as they prepared to bury the girl.

Meanwhile, Xander was not satisfied with Xavier’s punishment. He believed the latter should also be in the same state as Arabella—dead.

“He needs to pay for all of these. Staying in jail is not enough to make him suffer,” he said with a clenched fist. Bruce was seated in front of him, listening to his complaints with a mocking gaze that Xander couldn’t see. “I want Xavier to know what it feels like to lose someone very important to him like how he killed Arabella.”

Bruce took a sip of his drink before he responded. “Xavier is out of jail.”

“What?” Xander stared at Bruce with eyes widened in shock.

“Thomas released him from prison because he believed the boy was still innocent of the crimes he committed, and even if he was, he’d served enough punishment.”

“But it’s only been two weeks since Xavier went to jail,” Xander interjected, rage surging through his veins as he resisted the urge to slam the table at that moment. “It’s been two weeks since he killed Arabella and suddenly, father thinks Xavier has served enough punishment? That’s highly preposterous.”

“You shouldn’t be surprised that Xavier is already out of jail, you know. That boy is your father’s favorite. Did you think Thomas would let his sweet little boy be in jail longer than that amount of time?” He asked Xander, who completely understood that his father didn’t care anymore if Xavier killed someone.

He was his son and he would do anything and everything to help him out of prison.

Meanwhile, they don’t know when Arabella was being chased in the bush by those armed men, someone had spotted them while she was getting killed. But the unknown person had refused to come out to testify about the murder they’d witnessed.

Xander continued to loathe Xavier each day that passed, and the urge to make his brother go through the same thing he went through increased.

Bruce got his chance and promised Xander his revenge on Xavier if he became his adopted son, and helped him with his business until he was powerful enough to face Xavier and his father all by himself and exact his revenge.

However, a month later, Arabella’s parents were involved in a car accident that wasted their lives.

End Of Flashback

It was finally the day of The crimson hunt game. All the girls were being taken care of properly for the first time in a while. They were given the best meals to eat. Samantha gave them as many portions as they’d like and they devoured as if they hadn’t eaten anything solid their entire life.

Being fed something solid and filled with fiber felt like a dream since all Samantha mostly gave them was wet vegetables so they wouldn’t gain any weight.

After that, their hair was done and they were given pretty dresses before their photo was taken.

“Is this how things here are treated? It’s like they’re giving us the last treatment before we take our last breath,” Anastasia said, as she removed the hair clips that’d been buried in her hair.

“During the previous set of girls that were selected for the crimson hunt, they were also treated in the same way,” Elizabeth replied. “And yes, we might be taking our last breath today,” she added, wiping off her lipstick.

After they were done with getting their photos taken, Samantha instructed them to wipe their faces clean and get ready for midnight, which was when the game would commence.

“Aren’t you scared?” Anastasia asked Elizabeth. The girl had been expressionless, despite knowing today could probably be the last time they would see the last sunset. It was frightening to know that a game would determine if you would stay alive or not, but Elizabeth didn’t seem that shaken by that fact.

Instead, she was the only one who had an unreadable expression on her face—apart from Avery of course.

The other girls were excited and couldn’t wait for the game to start so they would leave with their new masters, without even being sure if they would last a day outside of these walls with someone they don’t know.

“Scared?” Elizabeth repeated, her hands pausing on her lips. “I’m not scared. Besides, I know that after tonight, I’ll be free.”

Her words only earned her a confused expression from Anastasia. She wanted to ask Elizabeth what she meant by her words but decided against it.

Anastasia glanced at Avery whose gaze was already on her with a faint grin on her lips that still creeped her out.

It’d been several days since they had their talk about escaping the hideout. And today was finally that day.

Although Elizabeth and Angelina had asked Anastasia to stay away from Avery, she needed to escape from the hideout as soon as possible which resulted to paying deaf ears to their warnings.

Avery had been in the hideout longer than every girl up for sale, so she had more ideas on how to escape from such a place.

Avery stood up from her chair and walked out of the room. Anastasia followed suit. Samantha was kind enough to let them get some sunlight.

While some girls were still taking off their makeup, the ones that’d successfully done so were outside playing a few games, while the rest were chatting as the area was filled with laughter.

Anastasia glanced at them, and a sudden feeling wrapped around her heart. It was as if she wouldn’t be seeing them ever again since they’d rarely been this happy before.

Avery took a seat and Anastasia followed suit.

“So, what’s the plan?” She mumbled.

Anastasia had asked Avery to tell her the plans for their escape a few days earlier so she would be prepared for what was to come. But Avery insisted she told her on the day of the crimson hunt which left Anastasia wondering why.
