Chapter 849: Other way

Alicia felt her heartbeat thudding harder in her chest after she heard what he said.

She just fell silent, staring at him with so many different emotions flickering in her eyes. This should make her react positively. In fact, this should be enough to make her heart jump in joy or melt into a complete puddle because… because Ezekiel has never revealed his plans to anyone. Never! Not even once nor to his closest partners. He had always had the policy of only revealing everything once he had reached his goal. The fact that he was even willing to tell her about his plan spoke a whole lot. He was opening up and trusting her completely now.

And yet, a part of her felt some kind of fear instead. Fear that she would not like hearing whatever this plan of his was. No. 'Like' was an understatement. She felt as though she would not be able to accept it.
