My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Erin cut straight to the point. "Lion knows about the 10 o'clock car crash prediction. He knows I asked about it, so he knows you must be aware too. And given your usual stubbornness, you'd obviously try to stop him from leaving. That's why… Mollie made sure Ellie would be at the door at exactly 10. Because after 10, Ryan would be gone!"

Keira scoffed. "If what you're saying is true, and Lion knew I'd block him from leaving by 10, why not have Ellie leave the house at 9:30 instead?"

Erin gave her a direct look. "Simple. The South family's prediction was that he'd have a car crash at 10 a.m., right?"

Keira didn't quite follow. "What are you getting at?"

Erin grinned. "The South family predicted he'd crash at 10, so there's no way it could happen at 9:59, and definitely not at 10:01. If Ellie showed up at 9:59, something else would've happened to prevent it. Get it now?"

Keira paused, stunned. "So, what you're saying is, if the South family predicted you'd die at dawn, even the Grim Reaper wouldn't show up before then?"

Erin rolled her eyes. "Yeah, that's the gist of it. But why does it have to be me dying?"

Keira raised an eyebrow. "I'm just making a point."

"Well, still. Use Lion as an example instead."
