Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: David Avax

Kate should have known it was never going to be this easy. She wasn’t stupid enough to miss what this was. This had David’s hand written all over it — he’d cut her brakes. He was making good on his promise to kill her.

God save her.

Terror flooded her bones as the road rushed relentlessly toward her, and Kate clenched the steering wheel so hard until her knuckles went white.

Kate should have remained on the highway, but no, she had chosen the remote cliffside where tracking her would be close to impossible. If only she knew she had played perfectly into David’s plan. Or rather, he knew her too well.

To her left, there was nothing but rock wall, and to her right, the inevitable void. There would be no help for her if anything happened—because she’d be dead.

Kate was more than scared now, her breath coming in shallow gasps.

The speedometer trembled near the edge while the wind screamed through the open windows. She yanked the handbrake, but even that didn’t engage.

A strangled sound tore from her throat.

"Oh God—no, no, no—"

Her hands shook violently on the steering wheel as the truth hit her in one crushing wave.

He had taken the emergency brake and planned her execution.

A sob ripped out of her chest.

"You monster... you absolute devil—"

Her vision blurred with tears as a sudden memory slammed into her.

The servants earlier—the way they stared at her. Jesus, they had known about this. If they hadn’t done it upon David’s orders, they had at least let her drive straight to her death.

The car hurtled faster along the curve. The cliff bent sharply ahead and Kate could see the drop now. A black, endless mouth waiting to swallow her whole.

"No—no—no—please—please—please—"

She killed the engine.

The roar of the motor died instantly, but the car kept moving, rolling on violent momentum. The steering stiffened in her hands and every slight turn became a battle of muscle and terror.

A vehicle suddenly appeared ahead, its headlights flashing. Kate had no choice but to swerve and the car fishtailed wildly.

Her scream was shredded by the wind.

She fought the wheel, her muscles screaming as the tires screeched against the asphalt. The other vehicle blasted past her in a blur of horns and shock.

Kate was crying now. Gasping. Praying. Bargaining with a God she had never believed in.

"I’ll disappear—I swear—I’ll vanish—I’ll never speak again—just let me live—"

But no God was listening.

The cliff curve slammed toward her and the tires slipped. For one frozen second, time stuttered, right before the road ended and the front wheels left the ground.

Kate had one final, horrifying moment to think about her life so far... then her car tipped forward and the world dropped out from beneath her.

The car didn’t fall all at once, it flipped.

Metal screamed as the front slammed into rock, the impact snapping the vehicle sideways. The next collision sent it cartwheeling end over end, glass exploding outward like shrapnel. Each rotation crushed more metal, tearing the body apart piece by piece as it tumbled deeper down the cliff.

Then, at the final drop, it slammed into the rocks below with a deafening crack. For one suspended second, there was only smoke.

"Mr. Avax! Is it true your wife was involved in a scandal with your daughter?"
