Ryan followed Alice back to the villa. As he watched the front gate slowly close, his thoughts gradually returned to the present.
Alice's words earlier didn't seem like a joke. In that tense moment, if Ryan had dared to get involved with Mia again, Alice might have actually killed him.
Getting killed by Alice was Ryan's main objective, and he had put in quite a bit of effort toward that goal.
Whether it was his early attempts at reckless behavior or his later decision to betray her, none of it had worked as planned. Alice's tolerance for him seemed endless—she wouldn't kill him over those things.
