She Got A Better Man

Leonard drove off, feeling increasingly regretful. He had been following Elvira all along, but when he saw Cole with her, he became careless. It wasn't until Cole and Elvira boarded the plane that he realized something was wrong. Elvira had been inseparable from Zach recently. The last time she went on a short business trip, Zach insisted on accompanying her. Leonard figured Zach wouldn't let Elvira travel alone during her pregnancy.

So, as soon as the plane took off, Leonard immediately went to find Zach. Sure enough, Elvira had been taken by Cole, and now Leonard had to book a ticket to find her.

Since he had been paid to protect her, he had to follow through. Now that she had been taken by Cole, he was responsible for bringing her back.

On the plane, Elvira ate and slept, ignoring Cole, which made him very uncomfortable, yet he was helpless.

"How long has it been since we took off?" Elvira asked tiredly. No matter how comfortable the first-class cabin was, it couldn't compare to being at home, especially with the constant turbulence. "Seven hours, still over thirty hours to go. Do you think your body can handle it?" Cole asked, his eyes full of concern.

"If I can't handle it, will you make the plane land immediately?" Elvira shot him an angry look.

Cole remained silent.

"I brought a doctor with us. He will ensure your health is fine," Cole said firmly, gazing at her.

Elvira didn't respond.

She realized that Cole had been planning this all along. Perhaps he hadn't acted before because her pregnancy was unstable But now that she was three months along and more stable, he was eager to take action. "I'm going to the bathroom," Elvira said, unbuckling her seatbelt and standing up.

"I'll go with you." Cole immediately stood up to follow her.

Elvira ignored him, heading straight to the restroom while Cole waited outside, feeling increasingly anxious.

When Elvira returned to her seat, Cole followed her back. After sitting down, Elvira said, "I'm hungry again."

She wasn't sure why, but today she seemed to be extra hungry. Normally, Zach would have some snacks prepared for her, so she didn't feel particularly hungry. But today, without the snacks, she was constantly craving food. Cole immediately ordered food, and it was quickly brought to her. She ate eagerly, her frequent meals drawing curious glances from other passengers.

Just as Elvira was enjoying her food, there was suddenly a commotion from the economy class behind them. Someone shouted, "If you don't want to die, raise your hands! Anyone who moves will be shot!" Suddenly, there was the sound of a gunshot.

Cole immediately became alert, and Elvira was startled. Her heart raced, and she thought, 'Is this a hijacking?'

Indeed, it was a hijacking.

Within seconds, the hijackers had reached first class, holding guns to the passengers and demanding that everyone hand

over their phones. Anyone who refused would be killed.

No one dared to resist. The hijackers were armed with real guns, so everyone obediently handed over their phones.

Cole handed over both his and Elvira's phones to the hijackers. When the hijackers saw the attractive appearances of both of them, they couldn't help but stare a little longer. However, remembering the importance of their mission, they quickly refocused and didn't make any further moves.

Cole, irritated by the look, instinctively grabbed Elvira's hand.

Elvira shook him off, turned to the side, and refused to look at him.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The flight attendants were also taken under control. One of the hijackers dragged the head flight attendant to the front, threatening the pilot to open the cockpit door.

If the pilot refused, the head flight attendant would be killed. If they still didn't comply, one person would be killed every

minute.

The pilot, not daring to take any risks, had already informed air traffic control of the situation. After reporting, they reluctantly opened the cockpit door.

The hijackers had fully taken control of the plane. One of them, who knew how to fly, steered the aircraft off its original course. Soon, it disappeared from the radar.

The air traffic control department in Jersten was thrown into complete chaos. A plane had been hijacked, and they had no idea where it was headed or what the hijackers' demands were. Ground personnel tried to contact the plane, but there was no response.

Meanwhile, Zach, who had been tracking Elvira's plane for over three hours, was informed of the hijacking. He was overwhelmed with rage and anxiety. Despite the shock, he forced himself to stay calm.

"Get me the passenger list right away! Have air traffic control keep negotiating with the hijackers to see what they want. No matter what their demands are, agree to them!" Zach ordered, closing his eyes to collect his thoughts.

This time, Zach traveled without Samson and Spike as there were still important matters in Jersten to handle. They remained behind to manage the group's affairs.

When Spike and Samson received the news of the hijacking, they were both shocked and immediately worried about how Zach would react. However, when they called, they were surprised to find him unusually calm. The three quickly devised a rescue plan.

The hijackers had flown the plane to a stretch of open sea, where no one could intervene.

Cole made contact with his subordinates in the economy class and confirmed that there were seven hijackers in total. One was in the cockpit controlling the plane, two were in first class, and four were in the economy class.

Each hijacker was armed with a gun. Since the hijacking began, they had only made threats to the pilot but hadn't said anything else or made any demands. They kept a vigilant watch over all passengers, but it was unclear what their intentions were.

Looking at Elvira, who seemed detached, Cole knew this mission was something they had thoroughly planned. He had six people with him, including himself, making it more than enough to handle the hijackers.

He did not doubt that once they dealt with the hijackers, the situation would be resolved.

Determined to act, Cole was about to give the signal to his subordinates to move. However, Elvira stopped him by placing her hand on his and shaking her head.

Cole frowned in confusion, not understanding why she was stopping him.

Elvira didn't explain. There were hijackers watching every passenger, and any small movement could attract their attention. She didn't want to risk drawing attention.

At that moment, Elvira suspected that there was someone on board who was working with the hijackers. It seemed like a high possibility.

With how strict airport security was and the number of weapons the hijackers had, they couldn't have gotten these guns on the plane.

If they couldn't identify the accomplice among the passengers, making a move could result in a disadvantageous situation. It would be better to wait and gather more information.

Elvira believed these hijackers had a goal for carrying out such a large-scale operation. Just because they weren't speaking now didn't mean they wouldn't later.
