Olivia felt uneasy ever since she got the text from Everly. Everly was with Henry. Maybe she had some information about Ethan. Maybe she sent that message because she didn't know what exactly was going on.What did Henry do to her?Olivia wanted to return to the city, but she feared she might miss Jack's call. She tried to call Everly's phone for an entire day but to no avail. She felt restless. She couldn't just forsake Everly. After telling Martha about it, she left Alicia on the island and snuck back into Aldenvine on a boat. Ethan was notified as soon as Olivia left the island. He monitored her every move on the island closely, but he didn't understand why she didn't wait for Jack's call on the island. Why would she want to return to Aldenvine?It was very cold in Aldenvine that day. There weren't many people on the streets. Olivia hailed a cab and went to Everly's apartment. Everly bought this unit after she worked as a salesperson. It wasn't that big. It had

Olivia was a mother, too. She had experienced the pain of losing her children twice. She felt even more worried about Everly after she knew what had happened to her. Given Everly's personality, she would have told Olivia about her miscarriage if she was in a normal relationship with Henry. But she didn't. It would suggest that their relationship needed to be kept a secret. What would come out of a relationship with an imbalance of power?Olivia was very anxious. She wanted to find Everly as soon as possible. Imperial Vista was one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city. Luckily, Ethan had a housing unit there. He had transferred its ownership to Olivia. She didn't care about the specifics. In a place like Imperial Vista, only property owners and people who have received permission from owners could enter the premises. The rules were stricter here. The property manager was very polite when he realized Olivia was a property owner. "Welcome back, miss."Olivia

That night, Olivia tossed and turned in bed. She couldn't fall asleep. She didn't know how she could help Everly. Was she staying with Henry willingly? Or did Everly want to get away like she did?She couldn't think of a better solution, so she decided to ask Everly in person. The following day, Olivia started to investigate Henry's whereabouts. She kept it up for a few days. Everly's miscarriage should have happened recently. She had been resting at Henry's place without even coming out. A lady was responsible for buying the groceries, cooking, and cleaning every day. She was very tight-lipped. Olivia tried to cozy up to her, but she didn't get any information from the lady. A week had passed. It had been around two weeks since Everly's miscarriage. Given her personality, she would be out the door very soon.On the sixth day of her tailing Henry, Olivia heard him asking Ethan to join him for some drinks. Henry rubbed his temples and said with a troubled expression, "

Ethan was dumbfounded. "He's a member of The Black Ravens?""He's a deserter, to be precise. He ran away from the organization two years ago. He's currently wanted by The Black Ravens. "So, he's been running around and evading The Black Ravens. Finding him will not be an easy task."Henry poured himself another glass of wine. "I've already told my brother about this. He'll also keep an eye out. He'll let you know if he finds anything. "What are you going to do next? Do you plan to follow behind a woman for the rest of your life?""Liv is different." Ethan ran his fingers over the photos. One of them had most of her face on display. He looked at the photo affectionately. "I've experienced the pain of losing her too many times. Now, I just want to keep her safe.""Man, you've put yourself in such a pathetic position in this relationship. You're not the man you used to be." Henry sneered. "You better not fall in love then." Ethan chuckled before he noticed something. "This

The man dragged Olivia away before she could react. He was followed by a group of tall guys. "Let go of me!" Olivia yelled. "It's dangerous here. It's not safe for a woman like you."The man started to run faster. He ran into a server, which caused him to spill alcohol all over the place. Henry's bodyguards caught up. Chaos ensued. The man had a tight grip on Olivia's arm. She frowned and said coldly, "I told you to let go!" "Young lady, I'm doing this for your sake. I'm taking you to someplace safe."He brought her to an alley as he was talking. Olivia began to realize how bad her situation was. The man was very strong. She wouldn't stand a chance against him. Her gaze fell on an abandoned shovel in the alley. She picked it up and swung it at the man's head. He reacted quickly. He let go of her arm and took a few steps back. "Don't be mistaken, miss. I'm just trying to help."Olivia said expressionlessly, "Stay away from me."At that moment, two dark figures rush

Ethan had a bad feeling in his heart when he saw blood at the entrance of the alley. He saw a few corpses lying in the alley.His vision blacked out, and he almost fell.Was Olivia dead? He didn't even dare to entertain that thought.Henry swiftly went over to the bodies. After confirming the identities of the dead bodies, he said, "Don't worry, your wife isn't among them."It was only then that Ethan let out a sigh of relief. He finally regained energy as he checked the bodies. "They died not long ago."A bodyguard identified the body. "This man was the one who took Ms. Fordham away."Back then, we ran after them right away, but they had messed up the bar so badly that we were held back by some people."In such a short time, Olivia had disappeared, but the man was dead.Was this the work of Olivia?But he hadn't given her the gun yet. Where did she get her weapon from?"It's not too possible. These men all died in one shot. It requires someone with good aim, which means th

Olivia was about to ask Jack what happened back then when her phone vibrated in her pocket.It was Joshua. Olivia answered the call. "Hello.""Ms. Fordham, where are you right now?" Joshua sounded a little anxious.Before sending the children to the island, Olivia had already paid off Joshua's salary. Why would he contact her at a time like this?"What's the matter?""Something happened to Logan. Please come and visit him."Olivia hadn't quite figured out the reason why Ethan had appeared at the bar. When she heard that something happened to Logan, her first reaction was worry."What happened to him?""Logan was ill a few days ago, and he drank a lot tonight. He had alcohol poisoning, and I've already sent him to the hospital. He kept mumbling about meeting you."Where are you, Ms. Fordham? Are you free to come visit him?"Olivia didn't know where she was right now. Even if she did, she couldn't recklessly reveal her location."I don't think I can. How is he now?""He has a

Joshua had set his phone on speaker mode. So, of course, Ethan heard that as well. When Olivia answered the call, her voice sounded natural.She also sounded a little wary, and she refused to reveal her location to Joshua."She went to the western suburbs in such a short amount of time, so someone must have taken her away. "She didn't ask for help over the phone, which means that this person wasn't a threat to her."They probably even helped her kill those assassins."Kelvin had a puzzled look on his face. "Judging by the injuries on those men, they died from one shot. It was one against three, so this person must have great marksmanship."Since when has Mrs. Miller gotten to know such an amazing person?"Ethan said, "This person has great aim, will kill someone without hesitation, and doesn't pose a threat to Liv. Only one person comes to mind."He thought of that man he encountered on the ship some time ago."It's Jack!"Olivia had returned to Aldenvine just to meet Ja

The night quickly passed by. The room was very cold, so a mere blanket couldn't provide much warmth.Olivia thought that she wouldn't fall asleep. But oddly enough, she felt very reassured with her child in her arms. So, she quickly went to sleep.Like a small fireplace, Zack cuddled in her arms and provided her with unending warmth.Olivia had a dream. In the dream, she was in a vast grassland. She held her two children's hands as she ran freely.Ethan stood at the end of their path, waving toward them. "Liv …"Olivia's eyes shot open. It was already bright outside, and Jack was long gone from the room.The windows didn't have curtains, so Olivia could see outside right away. It had been snowing the whole night, so everything she saw was white.Olivia quietly left Zack and got out of bed. When she opened the door, a cold breeze blew in her face.She had seen many snowy scenes before, but she was still shocked by what she saw.It was simply too beautiful!Endless white en

Jack said calmly, "Look ahead. What do you see?"Olivia took a few steps forward before finding herself at the edge of a cliff. Through the forest, she saw mountains in the distance. The snowy mountains seemed to go on forever, and they looked magnificent."Freedom.""Yes. As soon as you cross over the ravine and go forth, freedom awaits you."But after getting stopped by Ethan so many times, Olivia had lost her courage.She was scared. She feared that she might get caught again and sink into the endless dark abyss."Are you worried about him?"Olivia shook her head. "No. I'm … scared.""What are you scared of?""I'm scared that if we fail, you might get involved in this mess. I'm scared of what the future might become. As soon as I close my eyes, I think of Mona's death."Jack's voice was gentle. "There's nothing to be scared of. You've already survived the most difficult times. You shouldn't stop at the present unless you still want to live the life you had in the past.
