Chapter 7
Amelia was thrown in, limping badly. When she saw me, her eyes lit up with surprise, then she gave a vicious smile and posted at me,
screaming:
“She’s a cop!”
The word “cop” was taboo here. Instantly, all of William’s men pointed their guns at me.
I grabbed William by the throat and pressed my hidden gun against his temple.
“Back off, or I’ll kill him!”
Amelia kept screaming: “What are you doing? Kill that woman now! She’s got your boss!”
“Olivia, you can’t escape. You’ve ruined me, and now you’re finally getting what you deserve!”
“You thought you’d get promoted through this operation, but I won’t let you! Die, you…!”
Before Amelia could finish, her eyes went wide. She slowly looked down at the bloody hole in her chest.
Finally, she collapsed with her eyes still open.
William smiled gently: “Aurora, no, should call you Olivia. You really are the woman I fell for.”
I didn’t say a word to him. I just kept backing out slowly with him as my hostage.
The moment we got outside, William drove his elbow hard into my stomach.
As the gun was pointed at my head, someone suddenly rushed out from the side and tackled William hard.
Suddenly, tons of my colleagues from the police department appeared everywhere. Gunshots rang out. One colleague was pinned down by one of William’s guys.

After making sure I was okay, he finally breathed a sigh of relief:
Thank God, Olivia, you’re alright.”
I pressed down on his wound, waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
Joseph took the chance to say a lot.
Basically just regretting how he’d betrayed me before.
He said he’d been doing terribly lately. His father had died, he’d lost his job, and he’d been drinking away his days in a daze.
After that near–death experience, all he could think about was me.
“Joseph, I’m grateful you saved me, but our relationship is in the past. Please don’t say these things anymore.”
The light in Joseph’s eyes slowly faded. He opened his mouth, but all his words got stuck in his throat.
Sadness surrounded him.
In the past, I would’ve felt sorry for him already.
But after everything that happened, I realized love wasn’t my whole life.
Since love couldn’t work out, I’d make my career work out instead.
After this operation, I got promoted to sheriff, taking Joseph’s old position.
But a colleague cleaning up the scene told me they hadn’t found Amelia’s body.
Even William had escaped.
Those words hit me like a rock to the chest.
A wave of unease flooded through me.
I knew this wasn’t over.

I shook my head and gave those flowers to my female colleagues at the station.
After all this, Timothy decided to give me a little vacation.
So I went back to my father, Paxton Smith. Near my hometown, there’s a vast ocean.
I really love it there. The ocean makes me feel relaxed.
But something unexpected still happened.
