Chapter 222
The car plummeted, crashing to the ground, rolling violently before slamming into a tree with a deafening “bang,” wedged there.
“Damn, no way…” Francis cursed under his breath, his shock quickly turning to urgency.
The group immediately leapt out of the vehicle, rushing towards the wreckage. Stellan’s heart dropped as he caught sight of the license plate. His eyes winded in shock as he shouted. “It’s my dad’s car,”
He hadn’t anticipated that Odalys warning of “it’s too late” would be so terrifyingly true.
No wonder she’d insisted on a private jet, sending them back immediately. The crash site was close to the airport, and they had arrived just in time.
The realization hit Stellan hard, and his eyes watered with a mixture of guilt and helplessness.
If they’d taken the flight the production teans had arranged, they’d have been too late.
“Move!” Francis threw his bag inside the car, sprinting ahead with his long legs, taking the lead.
As they neared the wreck, the car door was suddenly kicked open, and a woman was violently shoved out, her blood–soaked body collapsing onto the ground.
“Dangelo!” she screamed weakly, her hands covered in blood as she tried helplessly to pull the man out. But it was no use–his body was trapped inside.
“Mom!” Stellan cried, rushing to her side.
When he saw his mother, her usually pristine appearance shattered, covered in blood, her wealthy facade gone, she was kneeling, frantically trying to claw her way back to the car. Stellan sprinted forward and pulled her away from the wreck.
Hearing his voice, the woman, disonented, thought she might be imagining things
Slowly, she turned her head, her eyes locked onto her son. “It’s okay now,” she whispered, letting him pull her to safety.
“Stellan? Is it really you? Please, please save your father!” Sienna trembled, her voice cracking as she pointed toward the car.
Just then, the car jolted forward.
Everyone froze, watching in disbelief as it began rolling again
Francis rushed forward, trying to stop the car, but his hands grasped nothing but air. The car continued its descent, spilling gasoline as it tumbled down the slope. Stellan felt the weight of dread fill the air, hearing his father’s name echo in his head. Regret began to seep in, but it hadn’t fully overwhelmed him yet.
Then, the world shook with a deafening “boom.
The explosion reverberated through the sky, sending them flying backward, knocking them off their feet. But Selah still held onto her phone. clutching it tightly, her voice trembling. “Odalys:
On the other end. Odalys heard the blast, her eyes narrowing as she froze, her finger hovering over her iPad screen. After a long pause, she murmured, “I understand”
“It’s true.. the explosion, Selah whispered, sinking to the ground in shock. “Some fates… you can’t avoid them”
On the other end. Odalys voice was calm and measured. “Selah, listen to me. You need to get Stellan to use the talisman I gave him. Place it on his father’s body?”

Stellan, confused, stared at her for a moment. When the word “Talisman” clicked in his mind, he began rummaging through his trembling as he pulled out the talisman Odalys had given him. Without hesitation, he sprinted toward the wreckage.
“Stellan, don’t go Sienna screamed, but it was too late. She was too injured to stop him. She watched helplessly as he rushed toward the car, talisman in hand, ready to save his father.

But just as he reached the car and began to try
to try and place the talisman on his father, the car exploded once more.
The force of the second blast was overwhelming. Everyone’s eyes widened in horror as they watched Stellan’s figure consumed by flames.
Selah collapsed to the ground, still holding the phone, unable to tear her gaze away
“Selah “Odalys heard the sound and called out to her. Selah snapped back to reality, her face pale.
“Second explosion Stellan was in the car… Selah’s words trembled with pain. “He’s… He might be

The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, Stellan, a friend she’d grown close to during their time filming, had been taken from them. She didn’t know how to process it
“Freya, Francis called, suddenly noticing that Freya had collapsed, her face pale with shock as she stared at the wreck.
He rushed to her, but she grabbed his wrist with surprising strength, her eyes wide with something else. “I saw… I saw a golden light,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
“A golden light?” Francis was confused, still processing the explosion
Freya dufn’t answer. Instead, she dashed toward the wreckage, her eyes focused on something beyond the flames.
As she reached the site, she saw Stellan, emerging from the car, cradling a bloodied Dangelo in his arms.
“What… what is this?” Francis stammered, watching in disbelief as Stellan approached, still clutching the talisman in his hand, his grip firm de

“Ambulance is here, Selah murmured, noticing the sirens in the distance.
She looked back to see the paramedics rushing to Sienna, who was being loaded into the ambulance,

The doctors ran toward Stellan, who handed over Dangelo with a look of disbelief. The doctor’s face contorted in surprise when they saw the state Dangelo was in “After an explosion and falling from such a height It’s a miracle he’s still alive.”
From the overpass to the explosion and now this moment, they had all thought Dangelo was surely dead, but to their shock, there was still a pulse. “Who’s the family member the doctor asked urgently.
Stellan stood frozen for a moment, his mind sull reeling. Then, shaking himself out of his daze, he quickly followed, looking back at Francis. “Thank you. For everything.”
“Drive them back for me,” he said quickly, as he followed the doctors toward the ambulance.
His hand still tightly gripped the talisman. Despite the damage to it–burned to a crisp–he couldn’t believe it.
The talisman had protected them, shielded them from the worst of the blast
If he
hadn’t believed Odalys, his father would have been turned to ash
Stellan pulled out his phone with trembling hands, his finger moving across the screen to find Odalys contact. He typed two simple words: [Thank you]
There was nothing more he could say. His heart was full, yet words failed him.
Perhaps everyone had underestimated Odalys power. She had never flaunted her abilities, and yet, in this moment, it was clear she was far beyond anyone’s comprehension.
“Odalys is incredible” Selah whispered in awe.
