Olivia felt as if the blood in her veins had frozen. She tried to think of anything she could do to defuse the situation. Did she stand a chance if they were to fight to the death? Even if she could defeat him, she could be riddled with bullets after she stepped out that door. She cursed herself inwardly for being too anxious. She desperately wanted to be done with everything and leave Wayne's side to return to Ethan.What would happen to her now that she had been found out? She grabbed a shirt as she formulated her sentences. Would he believe what she was about to say? Unbeknownst to her, Wayne saw her dressed in his shirt when he walked in. The loose shirt she wore was just long enough to barely cover her nether regions. The legs that were usually covered by her jeans were exposed. They looked prettier than those of models. They were also unlike his own, which were covered in black hair. Her skin, even her soles, were pale without a hint of impurity.He knew very well t
Wayne looked at the woman in his arms. Her exquisite collarbone was completely exposed. Even the shape of her cleavage could be seen clearly. Olivia noticed his gaze and pushed him away. She quickly jumped onto the bed, covering herself up with the blanket. Wayne's eyes darkened. He rubbed his thumb against his index finger. There was a sense of emptiness in his palms after she got away from him.An indescribable feeling arose again as he looked at her curled up in his bed. He looked away. "It's nothing. Don't touch my things without permission again. This is your final warning."He quickly left after he said that. Olivia cursed inwardly. She sighed in relief after confirming that he was really gone. Her tensed-up muscles relaxed at that moment. She saw that she was still holding his boxers in her hand, so she threw it away. The wardrobe was still open. The suitcase too. He didn't close it up.If the ring were really in there, he wouldn't be so careless with it. He prob
Since she had already been found out, Olivia could only pretend to be distant. "Please just let me go!""Idiot, do you have a death wish? You'll be entering Arlandian territory if you go any farther."The city had been divided up by the two forces. That was great. She would be able to meet with Ethan sooner. She made up her mind and picked up some stones on the ground. "I'm sorry, I have to go."Then, she started throwing stones at the drone. The operator quickly moved the drone out of harm's way. "Throw one more stone and I'll chop your hands off!" Olivia threw a few more but didn't land a single hit. She only had one more stone.The first few throws were just feints. She put everything she had behind the final one. She weighed it in her hand before throwing it with all her might. She smiled coldly. "So long, pervert."The drone fell to the ground with a loud crash. The screen went black."Mr. Maxwell, just let her go. I think she's pretty suspicious, anyway. It's best t
Oliva helped the woman leave the area with great effort. There was water flowing from her nether regions. She had contractions every few minutes. She was in so much pain her face was pale. As a woman herself, Olivia knew all too well what the woman was going through. The first two pregnancies she went through ended in premature birth. She went through a lot of pain despite her kids coming out earlier than expected. It was probably worse for this woman who was having a normal birth. The woman knew the situation at hand was bad. She was trying her best to walk away with Olivia. They arrived at a store that had been blown open. Anything of value there was already gone. Olivia found two pieces of rags and placed them under the woman."Wait for me here. I'll be back soon."Although there weren't any resources, she could still find some water. There was still running water in the city. She took some water and boiled it. Then, she brought some clean pieces of clothes back. "This
Brent looked at Kelvin. "Leave this to me. Go find her.""Be careful, Brent." Kelvin was worried, but they were there on an important mission. He quickly left after he said a few more words to Brent.Brent and Alan were especially hostile when they saw each other. Both of them drew their weapons. "I won't let you escape this time.""Took the words right out of my mouth."Ethan, Brent, and Kelvin were doing a detailed sweep of the city in different groups. If Sadie died in the city, it didn't matter who did it—Veutron wouldn't let it go easily.The situation was already very chaotic. If things were to escalate further, it would become a world war. Gunshots could be heard. Wayne retraced his steps. He suddenly thought of a minute detail. There had been a pool of water next to the man. Back when he was a kid in the slums, he saw that women would release amniotic fluid before giving birth. He would be able to find Olivia and the woman if he followed the trail of amniotic fluid
Ethan tried to analyze the motive of the person with Sadie. If they wanted to kidnap Saide, they would've taken her away as soon as they got her. They wouldn't bring her here to deliver the baby. It was clear that the person was trying to help Sadie, which meant they were on the same side. So, Ethan announced himself and called Sadie by her alias. "Brie, are you in there? Michelle is coming over. I'm here to save you."Sadie was very excited, but Olivia was even more so. She didn't expect the man she wanted to find to be right by her side."Don't worry, I pose no threat. I'm here to save you."After he spoke, the person seemed to have heard his words and began to move the table and stools away. It seemed like he made the right choice. As soon as he walked in, a woman jumped on him, removed his mask, and kissed him.Ethan was about to push her away when he smelled the scent he had been dreaming of. It wasn't a dream! That night, while he was hanging on the tree, someone sa
Olivia felt a little helpless. Ethan's focus was entirely on her and Wayne. He didn't care about national pride or whatever ongoing conflict there was.The only thing going through his mind at that moment was Wayne and Olivia becoming a couple! "That's not the point, Ethan. Please help me, okay? I'll come back as soon as I get the ring. He won't know who I am."Ethan would have agreed to any other request when Olivia was pleading with him in such a soft tone. But Olivia's actions were a provocation to his pride. "That's impossible. I won't let you get into more danger. Wayne is one of the most dangerous people around. You have to come with me. You shouldn't be getting involved in this matter!"Olivia's tone grew cold. "Okay, you won't help me, will you? Since you can't help me with my work, there's no need for us to be together anymore…"Ethan smiled bitterly. "Liv, please don't threaten me with this.""Ethan, three years ago, you were sent to the emergency room and I was slap
The first thing Olivia did when she stepped outside was to cover up the traces of amniotic fluid on the ground with some dirt. She made it so that the trace of the fluid stopped at the intersection of the street. When Wayne got there by following the trail, he found that the trail ended. He wanted to look for other clues when he heard some rustling noises from an alleyway nearby. He drew his gun and approached the noise. Olivia was sitting behind a trash can with a blank look on her face. She screamed in fright when she realized someone was approaching her. "Don't get any closer!"She threw a stone she was holding toward Wayne, who was able to dodge it with a simple side step. It was a clean and elegant dodge. Wayne looked at her condescendingly. "I've found you at last!"Olivia's vision came into focus. "It's… It's you."She tried to run away reflexively, but Wayne was able to grab her by the neck. The next moment, he slung her on his shoulder."You bastard, let me go!
