Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 98

She considered all the possibilities for how this could play out on her way to Collington

Cove. All she had to do was abandon her pride and cooperate with Marina. It couldn’t be that difficult. What did her pride matter when she was about to die anyway?
