The Real Heiress Rules the World (Sloane Rivers) novel Chapter 481

Bonfire 481 Summary

The story opens with an urgent warning from an old man about Dania, a witch attempting to escape Eastport by sea with Mr. Tony. Sloane quickly contacts Lucas to intercept them before they can leave the harbor, knowing that tracking them in open water would be nearly impossible. Lucas immediately mobilizes his team, coordinating with Kaizen, who has connections with the port authority and promises to seal all exits swiftly.

By the time Lucas and his team arrive, the harbor is heavily guarded by the Oliver family security, with speedboats patrolling and a helicopter overhead. Inside a warehouse, Dania orders her men to load the unconscious Tony onto a speedboat, but the arrival of the authorities traps them. Lucas and Kaizen surround the building, demanding surrender. Dania reacts fiercely, holding a dagger to Tony’s throat and threatening to kill him if anyone approaches.

Negotiations begin with Dania demanding a fully fueled speedboat in exchange for Tony’s release. She cruelly proves Tony is alive by pinching his philtrum, causing him to gasp weakly. Lucas spots movement behind her, and Kaizen feigns agreement to her terms, instructing his men to prepare a yacht. At the right moment, Lucas signals an attack, and special forces quickly subdue Dania, freeing Tony.

Despite Dania’s men trying to flee on a yacht, naval patrol boats block their escape and capture everyone aboard. When Dania is dragged back to the dock, she breaks free, violently throwing a bracelet onto the deck. The bracelet shatters, and Tony screams in agony as his body convulses, signaling a terrifying and mysterious consequence of Dania’s desperate act.

“Eastport,” the old man said with a heavy frown, his eyebrows knitting together in deep concern. “That witch is making a run for it by sea. We can’t allow her to slip out of the harbor—once she’s out in open water, tracking her will become nearly impossible.”

Without hesitation, Sloane grabbed his phone and dialed Lucas. “Lucas, we’ve found them! Eastport—Dania’s taking Mr. Tony out by boat! You have to stop them. Don’t let her get on that vessel!”

Lucas didn’t waste a moment. He spun the car around sharply, hitting speed dial. “Kaizen, we’ve got a fix on her location. She’s trying to escape from Eastport with Tony.”

“I’m already on it,” Kaizen responded in a calm, measured voice. “The port authority is run by an old contact of mine. I’ll have every exit sealed off within three minutes.”

By the time Lucas and his team arrived at the docks, Oliver family security had already encircled the entire harbor. Six speedboats patrolled the shoreline vigilantly, while a helicopter hovered low overhead, its spotlight slicing through the thick, misty night air.

Inside a dimly lit warehouse, Dania barked sharp commands as her men hurriedly loaded the unconscious Tony onto a waiting speedboat. The sudden blare of sirens outside made her whip her head toward the entrance. “They’re here already?”

“Miss Dania, every exit is blocked!” one of her men shouted, panic creeping into his voice.

Emerging from the shadows, Lucas and Kaizen appeared alongside armed guards, quickly surrounding the building. “You’re surrounded,” Lucas called out firmly. “Drop your weapons and surrender!”

Dania’s eyes blazed with fury. Without hesitation, she grabbed a dagger and pressed it hard against Tony’s throat. “Nobody moves! One step closer, and I’ll kill him right here!”

Kaizen raised a hand, signaling his men to hold their positions. “Dania, there’s no escape. Let him go, and we can negotiate.”

“A deal?” Dania sneered, her voice dripping with contempt. “Fine. Get me a speedboat, fully fueled, and once I’m safe at sea, I’ll release him.”

Lucas murmured into his earpiece, “Snipers in position, but no clean shot—the target is moving too much.”

Kaizen’s tone remained steady. “We can arrange that. But first, you’ll have to prove he’s still alive.”

A cruel smirk twisted Dania’s lips as she pinched Tony’s philtrum sharply. He gasped weakly, his eyelids fluttering open. “Hey…”
