Olivia didn't have time to catch up with Elias. She performed a shoulder throw on him and ran without looking back.She could hear Milton yelling from behind, "Why are you so useless, Elias? You can't even capture a woman? "Fuck, she slipped right through our fingers. After her!"The men started to run after Olivia. Elias lay on the ground and connected a call with his earbuds.He said slowly, "I've found her." Then, he got up slowly and watched as the others went after Olivia frantically with a sardonic expression. Olivia was fast, but the ground in the woods was uneven. Occasionally, there would also be snakes on her path. The sky was slowly darkening. Olivia was sweating from the heat. The men chasing her were following closely behind. It was like a game of tag. "There's nowhere for you to run, bitch." One of the men took the chance to pounce at Olivia when he saw that she was running out of breath. He thought he had caught his prey, but then he felt something har
Most of Ethan's men were like him. They were silent and expressionless. But Elias was an exception. He was a wildcard and had an impish temperament. There was no reply. Milton was smoking, and his shoulder was bleeding. He said mockingly, "Do you think she's under the water? There's a strong current under there. She'd be dead if she went down." Elias ignored Milton. He added, "I'll be getting to the final round. Don't worry, Mrs. Miller, I'll help you accomplish what you want to do."Before Milton could insert a snide remark, someone emerged from the water. Milton was about to scream in shock, but he saw a pale-skinned woman who was the embodiment of perfection coming out of the water.The water washed away Olivia's disguise. Her skin looked like it was paler than before. It was like she was glowing. Her hair and face were soaked. She looked like a mermaid. All the men were dumbfounded when they saw her face. They've never seen such a gorgeous woman before. Elias alre
Milton and the others were enjoying the show that Ethan and Olivia were putting on for them, but Olivia only felt anxious. "I tried so hard to get to where I am now, Ethan. Please just let me go. There are things that I need to do."Ethan didn't stop walking toward Olivia. She began to attack him, but Ethan was a way better fighter than her. He was able to subdue her and hold her in his arms. "Your safety is the most important thing in the world." "I chose this path. You should support my decision if you love me." "I refuse to let you walk such an extreme path because I love you. Liv, I'll help you exact vengeance my way. You need only go home with me and be my Mrs. Miller." Olivia glared at him and said, "What are you talking about? I told you before, I'll never marry you again. "We're done. A relationship between the two of us is no longer possible.""Nothing is impossible."Brent and Kelvin showed up. Olivia noticed that Brent was holding a syringe. She could tell t
Olivia tried to break free, but Ethan knew her too well. She was completely subdued and couldn't move at all. Olivia was upset. She tried so hard to get to where she was. She almost got into the Black Ravens. She was so close to getting away from Ethan and regaining her freedom. "No! I don't want to lose my memories. Ethan, don't make me hate you. Where's the antidote? There has to be an antidote, right?"Olivia grabbed Ethan's collar tightly, but he smiled. "Liv, I never thought about undoing this, so there is no antidote."Olivia slumped to the ground and stared at her battered palm. It was only then that she realized how arduous her journey had been. She endured so many hardships. She even had a few near-death experiences. Her painful memories were the reason she was alive. She tried very hard to get to where she was. She had become strong. No longer weak or fearful. She had broken out of the chains holding her back, but Ethan wanted her to revert to who she used to be.
"Liv, you have to find your happiness.""I told you, I would … k-keep you safe. Thi-This is goodbye, Olivia." "Liv, I'll protect you and your baby." "My daughter is so pretty, but I came around too late.""Olivia, you're so awesome. You're number one in the city.""Olivia, I like you. Would you be my girlfriend?""Kid, are you here to buy buns again? The usual, right? Got it.""Olivia, if my grandson bullies you again, I'll beat him up even if I have to climb out of my grave.""Olivia, are you planning to study abroad with those grades? You're the most talented kid I've ever seen.""Girlie, what's your name? I'll come looking for you."The people she had met appeared before Olivia again like they were saying goodbye. Olivia tried to reach out and grab them, but they always vanished before she could touch them. Ethan watched worriedly as she ran around frantically and grabbed the air with her hands. Then, she sat on the ground dejectedly and cried. Ethan walked toward
Warm sunlight streamed through the enormous windows, casting onto the magnificent and spacious bed. A pretty woman was lying on the bed. She had skin white as snow and exquisite facial features. She was like a princess. The sunlight seemed to be too bright. The woman frowned and woke up. As soon as she woke up, she felt like her mind was completely blank, and her head was throbbing. It was like something had siphoned everything she had in her mind. It wasn't just her mind that was feeling empty. Her heart was the same. Who was she? Where was she?She heard water flowing and looked toward the bathroom. Was someone washing up in there? Who was it? She lifted the blanket and got off the bed. Her bare feet stepped on the soft, fur carpet. Although it was freezing outside, the room was air-conditioned and as cozy as it was in spring. The woman surveyed her surroundings. The room's decoration was mainly in warm yellow tones, emphasizing a creamy theme. The bed looked lik
Ethan tugged lightly, and Olivia's body fell into his embrace. His skin was still wet from the shower, and he smelled like the shampoo he used. Olivia pressed her palms against his chest. She felt like his body temperature was a little hot to the touch. He whispered in her ear, "There's a mole on your inner thigh."His breath, which smelled like peppermint, brushed her skin and made her blush. Her blushing face reminded Ethan of the time when they just started to date. His gaze became softer. He raised his hand to tap her nose and said, "I'll stop teasing you. Let's have some food first. I'll tell you everything you want to know after you've eaten." Ethan held Olivia's hand and led her out of the bedroom. There were a lot of pictures of the two of them in the corridor. She was all smiles in every single picture. She was bright and cheerful, like a miniature sun. For instance, there was a picture of her on a swing in a garden full of roses. Ethan was pushing her from be
Olivia's subconscious told her not to go into the room. The hand she placed on the doorknob froze. A warm hand enveloped the back of her hand. Ethan whispered gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you." The door was opened. There were no monsters. There was no blood. It was just a pink room with all its furnishings removed. The room was almost empty except for a carpet and some baby toy decorations that hadn't been taken down yet. It was clear that the room used to be a nursery. Olivia could feel a weight on her chest, and her eyes became sore. She walked into the empty room and stopped at the position where the crib used to be. She slowly crouched down. Olivia couldn't remember anything, but her body brought her to the location reflexively. "Did something used to be here?"Ethan was shocked to see what Olivia was doing. He sat down beside her and said, "A crib."Olivia observed the empty room as thoughts began to fill her mind. "We had a baby?""Yes."Olivia as
