She Got A Better Man

Cole was deeply worried about Elvira's safety. He was the one who had brought her along, and if something happened to her, he would never forgive himself.

He also suspected that one of the flight attendants might be an accomplice of the hijackers. After all, with so many firearms on board, it was hard to believe they had gotten past security without inside help.

Not knowing which person was the mole made the situation even more dangerous.

As time passed, the tension onboard increased. Suddenly, there was chaos in the back of the plane, followed by the sound of gunfire and screams. Then, everything went eerily quiet. Elvira guessed that one of the passengers had likely broken down and was shot. A wave of intense disgust rose within her. These hijackers deserved to die.

But for now, there was nothing she could do but watch as they continued their crimes.

Hijackings were a major international incident, and governments around the world took them very seriously. After flying to a more remote part of the ocean, the hijackers finally began communicating with the ground tower to state their demands.

The hijackers were in the first class section, so Cole and Elvira could hear the conversation. Their demand was simple. They wanted the release of a politician in Wusma.

That politician had been arrested for smuggling arms, embezzlement, and sheltering drug dealers. It was this politician's escape that had triggered the hijacking.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The hijackers had one demand, release the politician, or they would begin killing hostages.

At noon, they demanded the politician be delivered to a designated location. If their demand wasn't met, they would kill one passenger every ten minutes.

The hijackers showed no hesitation in revealing their intentions to the passengers. Elvira was somewhat relieved upon hearing this.

If these hijackers weren't terrorists intent on massacring the passengers and if their goal was simply to achieve their demands and then release the hostages, then all she and the others had to do was endure.

Elvira and Cole exchanged a glance. Cole understood what she was thinking from the look in her eyes, and he stopped considering resistance. For now, they would observe the situation. As long as the hijackers didn't threaten Elvira's safety, he could bear with it. Meanwhile, Zach had also received the hijackers' demands. He immediately contacted the Wusma government, urging them to comply with the hijackers' demands.

However, the Wusma government was reluctant to cooperate. Internal disagreements erupted, and an emergency meeting was convened. The discussions were heated.

Some officials argued for trading the politician for the lives of the passengers. Others pointed out that there were no Wusma citizens on board and that the politician was guilty of severe crimes and should not be released.

As the minutes ticked by, the hijackers grew more impatient. When they didn't receive a response, they threatened to start killing.

The leader of the hijackers was frustrated. He grabbed the nearest first-class passenger, pressing a gun to his head, ready to execute him. The passenger screamed and begged for his life.

The sound of a gunshot echoed as the man's head exploded on the spot. Elvira's heart raced. Her fists clenched tightly, her

Though she had been through many life-and-death moments, witnessing such a direct and violent death for the first time was chilling.

The smell of blood quickly filled the first-class cabin, making everyone gag. Passengers cried in terror, afraid that they would be next.

The hijacker responsible for recording the scene filmed the execution and sent the footage to the ground authorities. The person who watched it on the other side grew grave, quickly relaying the footage to everyone else. The hijackers also released the video to the public, and it quickly went viral.

The entire nation was in an uproar, demanding that the government do whatever it took to save the hostages.

Zach, still negotiating with the Wusma officials, insisted on releasing the politician. Faced with overwhelming pressure from all sides, the Wusma government reluctantly agreed to free the captured politician.

As the clock struck noon, the hijackers grabbed a young girl who appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen, preparing to kill her. Elvira could no longer stand idly by and watch such brutal killings unfold. She shouted, "Wait!" The girl, trembling uncontrollably from fear, struggled desperately but couldn't escape the grip of her captor. She had boarded the flight to visit her relatives, never imagining that she would be caught up in such a nightmare. When Elvira spoke, all eyes turned toward her, and the hijackers glared at her with menacing looks. Elvira raised her hands

demands." and said, "Please, show mercy and don't kill her. I believe the people on the ground will meet your

The instant her words were spoken, the gun that had been aimed at the young girl swung toward Elvira. She immediately raised her hands higher and shouted, "You're just trying to save a politician. If he is saved, why kill one more?"

At that moment, Cole's hand clenched into a tight fist as he instinctively prepared to act when the gun was pointed at Elvira.

One of the hijackers, who had been in contact with the ground, walked over to the leader and said, "Boss, they've agreed to release the person. We can watch the live broadcast." The leader's gaze stayed fixed on Elvira for a long moment before he shifted his attention to the video. After a tense pause he shoved the terrified girl back to her seat.

Though relieved the immediate crisis had passed, Elvira was still shaken. She couldn't help but fear these violent hijackers. But she couldn't watch a young life end before her eyes. The girl realized that she had been spared. She kept her eyes on Elvira, likely wanting to express her gratitude. Elvira gave a small nod in acknowledgment, but she didn't move further. These hijackers were highly alert, likely elite mercenaries, not ordinary criminals. If they were willing to release hostages, it was best to avoid provoking them.

The live broadcast was still ongoing, and the politician the hijackers had been demanding was being transported from the prison to a nearby seaside airport.

A plane was waiting at the airport, ready to take the politician and his associates to safety.

But at that moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred. The politician was shot dead.

The leader immediately erupted in fury, cursing loudly. His anger was as wild as a raging lion.

He then glared at Elvira. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He quickly raised his gun, aiming to kill her in a fit of rage.
