MainNovelChapter 661:
Freya's thoughts were spinning, scanning everything she knew, trying to piece it together.
Dorothy?
Her boyfriend who'd been sentenced to death?
And Brendan Hoffman.
She kept digging through memories until the pieces snapped together. Uncertain, but needing to know, she
asked, “Your sister... is she Dorothy Sampson?”
“You're quick, K,” Brendan replied, giving a roundabout confirmation. He'd taken his father’s last name, but his
sister had used their mother’s.
After their parents died, Dorothy was all he had left. But Kristian had ruined even that.
“Her boyfriend got caught because of what he did. Kristian helping the police wasn’t wrong,” Freya said plainly.
“If you want to point fingers, start with yourself. You knew what her boyfriend was involved in.”
“I should blmyself?” Brendan shot back.
Freya still hadn't looked at Kristian.

“Right. I should blmyself,” Brendan repeated, his tone suddenly soft. “That's why | brought her enemy here
—to die with me. A fitting tribute to her memory.”
Brendan turned his eyes on Freya, still speaking with that maddeningly calm tone. “Today, it’s you, me, and
Kristian. We're all going to die here... and join Dorothy on the other side.”
That was why he’d said no one could ever sentence him.
Freya glanced down at the sea, then at the setup around them. Jumping meant almost certain death. Staying
meant a hundred percent chance of getting blown up. It was, quite literally, a dead end.
Kristian’s eyes met hers. He said, “I'm not going to let anything happen to you.”
“How romantic,” Brendan sneered. “But have you heard the phrase ‘Too little, too late’? You think any of this still
matters?”
“Nyour terms and let her go,” Kristian said firmly.
He'd been there long enough to understand exactly what Brendan was thinking. Now that the man had aired
every dark thought in his twisted head, it was only a matter of tbefore he destroyed the entire island.
If that happened... what would happen to Freya?
Kristian had to stall—had to give the others more time. And the best way to do that was to make Brendan fixate
on him. That way, the man wouldn't suspect a thing, and Kristian might just pull this off.
“You really want to save her, huh?” Brendan asked.
Kristian said, “Yes.”
“Then stab yourself in the heart,”
