Day Eighty-Nine...
Both Jane and Nathan continued challenging each other. Axel became Jane's hostage while Black Rose became Nathan's hostage. With their current situation, Jane was at a disadvantage so she had no choice but to bring up Stephen's name.
She just hoped that Nathan would give her another chance to prove herself.
'Damn, Nate. Don't be stubborn. I don't want to hurt Axel and your comrades. But I can't die here as well. As of now, you are thinking I am a liar. I have to do all means to make you listen to me.'
"I'll release Axel. Just bring Stephen here," Jane requested in her calm voice. "Tell him I wanna see him. It's Jane Frost. That's my real name." She revealed her name to Nathan.
Nathan narrowed his eyes as her name rang a bell. 'Where did I hear that name?' He pondered to himself. After a while, he recalled Ethan murmuring someone else's name. It was Jane.
'Is this just a coincidence?'
Nathan was still lost in his thoughts when Jane spoke again. "Nate! Make your decision now." She urged him, her eyes locked on his.
"You don't have the right to make some demands here." Nathan spat back at her.
Jane sighed deeply. 'He is very stubborn. He won't listen to me.'
"If you ignore me now, you will regret it," Jane said meaningfully. Her patience was growing thin.
Before Nathan could say another word, Violet suddenly showed up, looking worried.
"Supreme Leader. There is an emergency in the SYP Twilight Corp, concerning young master Ethan!" Violet informed them urgently. "Butler Li is on the phone!"
Both Jane and Nathan had a worried look on their faces when Ethan's name was mentioned.
"What happened?!" They asked Violet at the same time.
Nathan shot Jane a cold sharp glare. 'She should mind her own business. Ethan has nothing to do with her.'
"Give me the phone," Nathan extended his hand after returning his gun to its holster.
"Watch over them!" he added before leaving the prison cell.
"So what are we going to do now?" Violet asked them.
"I'll bring Phantomflake to the Torture Room. This is our Supreme Leader's command."
"No! You can't touch her. You have to kill me first!" Black Rose shielded Jane using her body.
But Jane tapped her shoulder. "Don't worry, Black Rose. Everything will be fine." She reassured her.
"Sis. Don't do this. We need to fight back." Black Rose refused to surrender easily. But Jane already had a plan.
"It's okay. They can't kill me. Trust me."
Though she was reluctant, Black Rose had no choice but to respect Jane's decision. She stepped to the side as Axel approached them to handcuff Jane.
Jane obediently followed Axel. She wondered if she had managed to convince him to call Stephen.
They were on their way to the torture room when Axel spoke up.
"No matter what you say, I won't betray our Supreme Leader. You can tell Chantha everything. But she will never believe you. Besides, it doesn't make sense at all."
But Jane just chuckled.
"Yeah. I know you are loyal to Nathan, that's why I am grateful to you. But Axel, I'm sorry. I have to do this."
Before Axel could react, Jane struck him at his neck, knocking him down instantly. She decided to flee to see Ethan. She was her priority right now.
When she heard that there was an emergency concerning her son, she could no longer waste her time there.
Jane had already stolen the keys from Axel even before he restrained her hands earlier. Without a second thought, Jane moved to sneak out of the headquarters.
She also snatched Axel's phone before running away. She knocked down everyone on the way. Her goal was to leave the place as soon as possible.
'Wait for me, Ethan. Mommy is coming to see you.'
A few minutes later, an alarm echoed in the headquarters. Everyone found out that Phantomflake had escaped!
