The Ugly Female Ghost Has 5 Handsome Husbands?
Chapter 8
Violeta breathes heavily, her chest rising and falling with the effort. Pulling several people through space had drained nearly all her energy. Okeana slowly pushes himself up from the ground. He glances at Violeta, then looks quickly back at Marina, a shiver running down his spine. What if she kills me?
Marina lifts her head, her eyes glistening with tears. “Okeana… you really want to leave me and go with that ugly woman?”
“I…” His voice falters.
“Found you, little liar!” a furious voice roars from behind Violeta.
Violeta’s heart drops. Oh no. We have to escape. The gambling den’s boss is here. He must have found out the truth.
Gritting her teeth, she sacrifices five percent of her health bar and summons a Royce.
“Everyone, get in!” she shouts urgently. But as they rush forward, a problem becomes obvious. The car isn’t big enough. Someone has to stay behind.
Marina realizes it, too. Without hesitation, she shoves Violeta aside. “Then you can stay and deal with them,” she says coldly. “That’s the price for trying to separate Okeana and me.”
What? How could she do that?
Violeta stares at Okeana, disbelief flashing in her eyes. He hesitates, clearly torn. That’s the girl you like? How pathetic…
Before he can respond, the boss’s soldiers charge toward them, their footsteps growing louder by the second.
“Get in the car! Quick! No time to talk!” Violeta yells, rushing toward the driver’s seat. But Marina pushes her hard to the ground and climbs in first.
“You don’t deserve a seat!”
“Marina! This is Violeta’s car. She should be the one driving! She’s our only chance to escape!” Okeana shouts, his voice filled with urgency.
Marina freezes, her expression crumbling. “Okeana… you’re helping her?”
Oh my God…
The soldiers are almost upon them now. Violeta scrambles back to her feet and tries to squeeze into the car again. At the same time, Okeana grabs Marina and pulls her out, pushing her away.
“I’m sorry,” he says firmly. “But you can’t come.”
“What? Okeana, what are you saying?!”
He takes a breath, then speaks with finality. “She is my wife. They are my family. And… I don’t love you. Give up.”
Before Marina can react, Violeta leaps into the driver’s seat, slams the door shut, and hits the ignition. The engine roars to life. She presses the gas pedal hard, and the car surges forward, plowing through the incoming soldiers and sending them flying.
In the distance, the boss watches silently, his eyes locked on the speeding car. That girl… she’s far more powerful than I thought.
After driving for miles, Violeta gathers what little strength she has left. With a deep breath, she activates space transformation once more. In an instant, the car, and everyone inside of it, vanishes, reappearing safely on the island.
