NovelAppNatalie's laugh stung his pride.
Sebastian knew that he was merely a pawn to Dean, and a useless one as well because Dean had never bothered to hide his contempt.
Dean felt that Sebastian owed everything he owned to him, and if he wished to take it back one day, he could do so anythe wanted.
Sebastian felt as though there was a leash around his neck and Dean was the one holding it on the other end.
"If you don't want to take the deal, forget it," he said calmly, seemingly unaffected by her insults.
"I didn't say no!" She stopped laughing and calmed down to consider his offer. "If | miss my chance, he will find out that I'm not dead. By then, not
only will he kill me, but he will also find out that you have been lying to him."
"How can it be my fault that you cback to life? Elliot died and cback to life, too, didn't he?" Sebastian said. "Besides, | won't let you do it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunless I'm sure you will succeed. There's no point inrisking my own hide if | simply wanted you dead. Dean is paranoid as it is and | will raise
suspicion if | so much as look in the wrong way."
"Good thing that you are self-aware. Dean Jennings is our common enemy and that makes us friends." Natalie desperately needed someone to side
with her and Sebastian was not a bad choice. Though he could not protect her, he was the only one who would be able to get close to Dean.
"We are not friends, and we never will be. Once this is over, we will go our separate ways," Sebastian said coldly.
"Sure, so long as you don't leavein the cold once you get what you wanted! Lettell you this: | am not interested in the Jennings family's
money."
"Yeah. Where are you now? Now, that I've decided to fake your death, | will have to monitor you or it will end badly forif Dean finds out that you
are still alive,” he said.
Natalie knew he was right, but her instincts stopped her from placing her trust in him, at least for the moment.
She could work with Sebastian to murder Dean, but she did not want to be Sebastian's prisoner until everything was settled. She could not tell if
Sebastian was simply trying to sell her out to Dean.
"Letthink about it! You should think about how you want to kill him. | will believe it if you have a detailed plan,” she said.
"Natalie, you are the one who needs my help, so this isn't a negotiation. You have three days at most, and if you don't make up your mind by then,
this deal is off," Sebastian said, before hanging up.
Natalie stared ahead dazedly, feeling lost.
She had moved out of her aunt's friend's house and to a more remote area. He happened to have an abandoned hut in the mountain, so she paid a
large sum of money to her aunt's friend to gain access to the hut.
There were only two other families in the area who had moved away, leaving behind their torn huts.

Her aunt's friend had agreed to visit her every few days to bring her food and necessities.
She had no other option than to agree.
Natalie had been feeling uncomfortable ever since she arrived at the hut, but even so, she did not have the courage to agree to Sebastian's terms so
easily.
She did not trust anyone else apart from her parents and though she believed that Sebastian hated Dean as much as she did, she did not see
Sebastian as an assertive man.
Everything that he had said could very well be bait that was meant to lure her out so that he could deliver her to Dean.
Just then, lightning struck and split the night sky in half. Startled, she jumped and when she went to check if the doors were closed, she was stunned
by the sound of the thunder that followed.
