She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263 Destroying Her Tracker

Time dragged its feet and flew all at once, thick with a tension that chung like fog–an uneasy anticipation that

refused to lift.

While they were still at sea, Brendan made a call to Kristian, instructing him to head somewhere discreet

where someone would guide him to Freya

Freya, of course, had no clue this call had even taken place.

She stayed aboard the ship, and when she tried to wander and explore, Brendan swiftly shut her down

Over an hour passed before they were just five minutes out from Butterfly Island, and that was when Brendan had someone blindfold both Freya and Ashley.

The vessel crept slowly toward the island, its hull slicing through the water like a whisper.

Had Freya been able to see, she would have caught sight of massive towers cutting off all signals and armed men in black standing guard across the island, sealing it off like a fortress.

But she didn’t. She was blind to it all.

She had no inkling that what lay ahead was far worse than anything she could have imagined–nor that Brendan had finally lost all grasp on reality.

When the ship finally docked at Butterfly Island, Freya and Ashley were led away, while the rest of the passengers gradually began to disembark.

In the end, only Natasha and Brendan remained on board.

Brendan stood on the deck, eyes fixed on a distant yacht, and said to Natasha, “Whatever happens here, don’t

come back.”

Natasha stared at him. She’d never seen him like this before. “What are you planning to do?”

“To settle things with Kristian once and for all. His lips curled into a strange smile. “For your own safety, stay away. I might not be able to hold back this time.”

Natasha’s brow furrowed in quiet concern.

Brendan motioned toward the yacht, silently urging her to go.

She didn’t argue. She grabbed her laptop and paused at the edge of the ship. “And if Kristian doesn’t love Freya anymore, then what?”

“I’ll kidnap his entire family,” Brendan answered coolly, his tone detached though his expression remained eerily calm. “One by one, I’ll make him watch them die right in front of him.”

He regretted not thinking bigger.

Just taking Freya had been too tame too dull. He should’ve taken the whole lot when the divorce papers were

signed.

That would’ve been truly satisfying

“You’re insane,” Natasha said flatly.

Brendan let out a low laugh. “Aren’t you, too?”

“I’m leaving.” She didn’t bother responding to that. With her back turned to him, she waved a hand and

climbed onto the yacht.

He wasn’t wrong. They were both out of their minds.

But she wasn’t like him. Her wild streak had been softened when she met K. Now, she was more carefree.

She could walk away from anything, anyone, without looking back.

Just like now. She knew the risk Freya faced on Butterfly Island, and still, she left her behind.

It was 9:30 AM in Alerith. The time on Butterfly Island was exactly the same.

From the moment Freya stepped off the ship, blindfolded, she’d been committing every detail around her to

memory.

Now, with the wind brushing her cheeks and the waves crashing violently below, she guessed they were close

to a cliff.

She was right. The guards led both Freya and Ashley to the island’s highest point–a sheer cliff–before removing their blindfolds.

As her vision cleared, Freya’s eyes darted across the scene.

Armed guards stood stationed nearby, and she quickly scanned her surroundings.

Only then did it hit her.

The entire island was crawling with Brendan’s guards in black.

A chilling thought seized her.

Her friends must not come.

Brendan had deployed so many men across the island that even if her friends showed up, it wouldn’t make a damn bit of difference.

A small handful of them couldn’t possibly take on hundreds of armed guards without being noticed. And knowing Brendan–how he snapped at the slightest loss–if he so much as saw one man go down, he’d strike back without hesitation. Freya couldn’t risk that. The fallout would be far too great.

Thinking fast, she slipped out the tiny micro–tracker Ellis had once given her.

Without hesitation, she popped it into her mouth, bit down, and swallowed it whole.

There was no crushing it by hand, no smashing it on the rocks–it was too delicate. Any attempt to destroy it

openly would only alert Brendan.

This was the only safe way.

Meanwhile, on Ellis’s end, he was in a car beside a friend–one clad in a military uniform.

They were in the middle of reviewing precautions when Ellis suddenly noticed something off.

The red dot on his watch–the one marking Freya’s tracker–had vanished→→

Immediately, Greta called. “Captain… why is Mina’s signal gone?”

They understood what it meant. Everyone else’s signals had vanished when they entered a zone with jammers, but Mina’s was supposed to be advanced. It wasn’t supposed to be blocked by anything.

“Return to Alerith,” Ellis ordered without a hint of doubt.

He was their former captain, and staying calm was second nature.

Still, the team hesitated. “Why?” they asked in unison.

“There’s trouble on Butterfly Island. Without equipment, it’s too risky. Wait in Alerith.” Ellis‘ voice was calm, but his last words carried weight. “I’ll bring Freya back.”

Freya wasn’t reckless.

She wouldn’t have destroyed the tracker unless she believed the danger was far worse than anyone imagined.

That foolish girl. Without the signal, how could he even find her?

“What’s wrong?” the man beside him asked, picking up on the tension in his voice.

“Brendan must’ve played his final card,” Ellis muttered. They had to capture him. “This won’t be easy.”
