Novel & Cerita Jane Harper The Survivors

Just watchful. The mountain air was damp and sharp, smelling of pine sap and ash. Somewhere nearby, water trickled over stone. A breeze shifted the tarp, rattling the branches overhead. I pulled my knees to my chest and stared at the thin seam of morning light pushing through the trees. My heart thudded with the aftershock of adrenaline, long spent but not forgotten. “We left her,” I whispered, my voice dry. Zerina stirred. “We survived,” she replied. Not cold, but steady. “That was all we could do.”

I swipe away the notifications of many missed calls and texts from Bella until I see the new automated home security notification from the mansion. I swipe the screen open. The live feed shows the backyard pool area, drenched in blinding, pristine afternoon sunlight. Harper is there. She’s floating on a white inflatable lounger, wearing a pastel orange bikini that highlights the soft, unmistakable curve of her growing belly. Her smooth skin seems to glow under the sun. I stand in a literal dungeon of grime and agony, watching her move peacefully through the water on a five-inch screen. She may hate me for eternity for locking her away in that gilded cage. She can call me a monster, a captor,

“Not if I lose you.” “I’m here,” I whispered, pushing against the weakness, forcing myself to stay conscious. “I’m not leaving you.” Raymond let out a shaky breath, his forehead pressing against mine. “You almost did.” His voice was hoarse, raw. Terrified. I swallowed, forcing myself to focus. “Kane? Jane?” “They’re safe,” he said quickly. “Selene and the others are gathering the survivors.” Relief washed over me, but I was too weak to react. My limbs wouldn’t move. My body felt like it wasn’t mine anymore.

"Help! Can anyone hear us?" Christine shouted, her hands cupping her mouth. Only the birds in the palm trees flew up in response. She turned to stare at the waves gently lapping at the shore. No sign of any other survivors. Christine sat on the sandy beach, hugging her knees to her body. Chase walked over to her and sat beside her. "You okay?" he asked. She nodded. "I guess." He put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her in for a hug. She placed her head on his shoulder. He wished he could kiss her and tell her everything would be okay, but there were no guarantees.

Dante held me as if I might vanish, but I no longer had the strength to push him away. Professor Shaw came to my side. “Aria, can you hear me?” I looked at her through the blur. “My baby…” Her expression changed, but her voice stayed steady. “We’re taking you to the institute medical center now.” As they lifted me onto the stretcher, Dante tried to follow. Professor Shaw stopped him with one look. “You had your chance to protect her.” The last thing I saw before darkness took me was Dante standing in the hall, covered in my blood, while the wedding ring box lay open at his feet.

"Harper! Take me with you! Please! They will kill me!" Harper looked at her father. She looked at the man cowering on the floor. She remembered the noodle shop. Mr. Evans standing with a cleaver, ready to die for her. That was her father. This man was just a sperm donor. "Goodbye, Richard," Harper said. She turned around and walked out the door with Sebastian. Behind them, Victoria’s screams were drowned out by the sound of the safe being drilled open and the roar of the fire consuming the building.

She knew I could see it. Only she and my grandmother knew that name. "I’m so happy… my Nia has grown strong in a place I couldn’t see. I’m sorry I wasn’t there with you." I shook my head through tears. I was happy too; I had never thought I’d get to see her again. "As long as you’re happy, I’ll be happy." In the end, I woke slowly on the operating table. The world had returned to normal. Winson was imprisoned for rape, tax evasion, and unlawful confinement.

, Croads, a middle-aged woman with brown hair and glasses, said. Except, it's not. She's dealing with enough right now. "Are you close with the victim?", SSA Briggs questioned, looking at me curiously. Briggs is practically a teenager, with shaggy blonde hair, very thin. "She's not a victim. Don't call her that. Her name is Amelia, and she's a survivor", I couldn't stop the words from flowing from my mouth. "The only one", Briggs uttered. "So you are close to her? Have you considered that being the reason for not catching him yet?", Croads said coldly. "Croads", Loveless snapped, shaking his head at her.

I shouted and coughed . I ran passed the living room only to reverse back .. My heart dropped at the sight in front of me . Mom laid on the floor in a pool of blood naked while PAPI was tied to a chair with a knife through his chest . " NOOOOOO... PAPI ...MOM... PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME ...NO NO NO NO....."

I cried out loud and cough because the fire was getting wild
