Olivia could feel the pain, but it wasn''t a ten out of ten.


    Still, the pain was unbearable. No one knew how painful it was for Jacqueline.


    The excruciating pain reached every part of Jacqueline''s body. Like a pair of invisible hands, something was tearing her heart.


    "Save me! Help me!" She rolled on the floor while scratching the uneven surface. The fact that her nicely manicured nails were ruined didn''t bother her because it didn''t hurt as much as the turmoil in her body. Meanwhile, Leia was watching the scene by the side. Her eyes held no emotions.


    She neither added fuel to the fire nor helped Jacqueline.


    Jacqueline mustered every strength in her to crawl toward Leia. "Leia Miller, save me! It hurts so much!"


    Leia crouched before her, grabbing her chin. "You had thising, Jacqueline. We gave you a chance, but you didn''t take it."


    "That old hag has the antidote, doesn''t she? Tell her to give it to me! Olivia won''t have it better anyway." Jacqueline mentioned Olivia, trying to take advantage of their rtionship with Olivia.


    "Unfortunately for you, Olivia told us not to give you the antidote no matter what happens. Take your time to feel the pain, Jacqueline."


    Pain distorted Jacqueline''s features, slowly driving her to insanity. She even began hitting her head against the surface. "Kill me! Just end my life for good!"


    Leia was slightly surprised because she didn''t know the curse was this strong.


    She motioned for the bodyguards to tie Jacqueline onto a chair to prevent further suicide attempts.


    Tears were brimming in Jacqueline''s bloodshot eyes. Although she was bound and gagged, her body was writhing in pure agony.


    The brighter the moonlight shone, the redder her eyes became. Her body was drenched in sweat, and her face was distorted due to the pain. A muffled sound came out of her mouth, which had been stuffed with a sock.


    Meanwhile, Ethan was hugging


    Olivia tightly. "I''ll go talk to Madam Wendy There has to be a way!df we lift the curse off Jacqueline, you won''t have to suffer anymore."


    Olivia grabbed his sleeve. "No."


    Soaked in sweat, she was barely hanging onto her life. "I don''t feel the pain on a full scale. Only a part of it She''s having it worse than me. This is our only bargain to negotiate with her. Are you really going to make Willow a hostage?"


    "But you..."Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    She managed a faint smile. "I''m fine. I managed to survive that painful illness, didn''t I? This is nothing. Jacqueline''s different. She was raised in a rich family. She can never put up with this kind of pain. We just need one night. Trust me. She''ll change her mind tomorrow." Her


    voice was shaking.


    Ethan wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Why do you have to put yourself in pain, Liv?"


    "This is my only way out, Ethan. It''s only for a night. My past experiences were way worse than this, but I got through them."


    Unable to help her, Ethan hugged her. She grabbed his hand.


    The red scratches on his arm didn''t bother her.


    "I''ll be by your side always, Liv. You won''t be alone again."


    That night, Jacqueline thought she had been to hell several times. Pain constantly knocked her out and woke her up from unconsciousness. Instead of a night, it felt like eons.


    When the sky finally brightened, the throbbing sensation in her chest finally subsided.


    Someone removed the sock from her mouth.


    "I want to see Olivia." That was the first thing Jacqueline said.
