Betrayed, Yet Bound To The Billionaire by Grace Madeline

Chapter 454 He quickly adjusted his bathrobe , holding his phone in one hand at he pointed it in the direction of the make .

Was it the same one that had followed Odalys before ? He wasnt sure , but it seemed dangerous possibly a venomous one .

They couldnt afford to take any chances .

If it struck , things could get complicated .

Before Odalys yould say anything , the snake suddenly coiled up and swung it an eye , it shot up to the ceiling , sticking to the wall like a shadow .

its tail with a sharp whip trucking into a nearby lamp .

In the blink of Before anyone could react , the snake flew toward thehi Ah , shat ? Goddamn ! They all screamed in unison , terrified .

The snake slithered around Franciss neck , then flew to Freyas collarbone , bounced onto Stellan , and burrowed into his towel .

With a swift twist of its body , it slithered out and made its way to Selahs face , sitting there as if it owned her .

The group was so started that they fell to the ground .

Selahs vision blurred , and she nearly fainted from the shock .

The snake , apparently satisfied with the chaos , darted towards the window and leapt out , arrogantly disappearing into the night .

Wat did it just sit on my face ? Selah was still frozen in disbelief , her hand instinctively touching her face as if trying to make sure it wasnt a nightmare .

Freya also touched her collarbone , still in shock .

Stellan , on the other hand , covered his lower body , not sure whether to Laugh or scream .

The snake had crawled right into his towel , only to slither out again .

Even now , his legs were still shaking from the horror of it all .

Is it really that messed up ? Is this some kind of twisted game ? he muttered under his breath .

Odalys couldnt help but laugh .

Its just bored , really .

Its seen you all before and figured it would come mess with you .

Its not malicious They werent sure if she was being serious , but it was clear from the gleam in her eye that she found this whole situation hilarious .

This isnt messing around .

Its terrifying ! Selah still couldnt get over the fact that it had been so close to her .

Freyas mind went back to the last time they encountered the snake , when it had practically sat on her face .

The memory sent a shiver down her spine .

Why hasnt it left yet ? Francis , still feeling the lingering fear , rubbed his neck where the snake had been .

The group of them all collapsed onto the carpet , while Stellan stepped forward to close the window , I came to Film Capital to find you .

It probably sensed danger .

Did anything happen while you were filming today ! Snakes are sensitive creatures Theyre not only sensitive , but they can also communicate .

It means you no harm .

We had an encounter with a giant python back in the mountain .

village , so it wont attack you .

But if nothings wrong , it wouldnt show up .

The fact that it can enter your room suggests something has happened .

Odalys said after a long She knew far too well about things with spiritual sensitivity .

Animals , as a rule , tend to avoid humans and dont like getting too close its a form of self preservation .

But if a snake actively enters your room , it could mean danger is looming .

went straight to rehearsing .

Stellan and We didnt encounter anything unusual .

We went to the hospital with you earlier today .

After that , we just w Francis had fight scenes , and though they both got some minor injuries , there wasnt anything unexpected Just now , Selah and I had a scene together , and it went smoothly without any y surprises , Freya said .

The others were trying to recall anything out of the ordinary , and eventually shook their heads .

Really , nothing unusual .

Everything went smoothly Didnt the Major give us some luck ? Things have been going well for us , Francis said .

Chapter 451 The group was now sitting on the floor in a dazed heap , too rattled to get up .

It was as if they were all old friends who didnt care about appearances anymore , just collapsing wherever felt most comfortable .

Only Stellan , ever the practical one , grabbed a blanket from the bed and wrapped it around himself to prevent any further embarrassment from his towel not staving secure .

Turn the lights on , will you ! Freya , Selal , take off your face masks .

Let me see your foreheads Odalys said , her voice suddenly filled with urgency .

She quickly sat up from her bed , all traces of sleepiness gone .

The mood in the room had shifted from casual to tense in an instant .

Got it , Francis said , quickly jumping to his feet .

Since it was his room , he switched on all the lights and ran his fingers through his freshly washed hair .

The two girls removed their face masks , and they all huddled together in front of the camera , They muted their phones so that Freya could hold it while they all gathered around , their faces framed by the screen .

Odalys narrowed her eyes , scrutinizing their faces , but then her brows furrowed .

Whats with the darkened foreheads ! Did anything happen today ? she asked , her tone laced with suspicion .

There was a long , uncomfortable silence .

No , nothing unusual , they all shook their heads .

But then , Francis hesitated .

He pulled out his phone , his face turning serious .

After a moment , he held up a message for them to see .

This does this count as something happening ? he asked , his voice unusually quiet The message read : I need your organs .

If you dont agree , youll die ! Its from my ex girlfriends boyfriend , Francis explained .

They set me up before , tried to get my organs for her boyfriend .

You helped me expose them , and the police arrested them .

But now … I think this is from him .

Hes threatening me , telling me to comply .

I didnt take it seriously at first , but after seeing the snake , I dont know anymore .

The group fell into stunned silence .

It wasnt just a prank in was a real threat .

onto you four .

Your destinies are now intertwined .

If one of Odalyss face grew more serious .

The general I sent to the afterlife… he passed his luck on you faces danger , the rest will also be affected .

So yes , this definitely counts , she said grimly .

Youre all connected by fate now .

She quickly grabbed her ring and checked it , but there was no immediate change .

She was still uneasy .

What do we do now ? Selah asked , her voice trembling , Call the cops ! But even if they find the message , theyll probably just think its a prank Stellan , ever the pragmatic one , glanced at the number and dialed it .

The number youve dialed is no longer in service .

Please check and try again .

The group exchanged shocked looks .

They tried dialing again , but the number was no longer valid .

It was clear now , whoever sent the message had shut off their number after sending it .

This wasnt just a threat it was a serious warning , What now ? Stellan asked , glancing around .

Til have my bodyguards take care of it .

No ones coming to Film Capital to kidnap Francis , not on my He might have been the heir to the Drake Group , but this was getting dangerously real Do you still have the talisman I gave I gave you ? Odalys asked suddenly .

Francis nodded .

Its in my phone case ? You should wear it on you .

Sometimes you cant bring your phone to set , or it might get lost .

The talismans safety is more important .

Odalys reminded him sternly .

Francis quickly opened his phone case and pulled out the talisman .

Hut when he looked at it , his eyes widened in horror .

The talisman … its burned to ashes ! he gasped , unable to believe his eyes .

It was perfectly fine this morning before filming ? Everyone froze , a sense of dread filling the room .

Something was seriously wrong .
