Chapter 64
Gently, Ethan loosened his grip on her b*dy. “Liv, remember the punishment from today.”
“Ethan, I’m begging you. Just come at me if you’re angry. Don’t you do anything to the Rogers Family! Hey, untie me. Don’t leave me alone here! I’m scared! Ethan, turn off the shower. I’m freezing, and I can’t fall sick now…”
She saw him leaving and heard the click of the door shutting behind him.
“Don’t leave me alone! I’m wrong. You can torture me in any way you want, just don’t leave me alone here. I’m feeling cold. Please let me out! I’ll listen… No, don’t turn off the lights! I’m scared!”
There was a moment when he almost caved in after hearing her desperate pleas, but it was a fleeting feeling.
He lazily changed into a new outfit and gracefully made his way to the lobby. There, Marina was searching around for him. She felt relieved when he showed up without Olivia by his side. “Ethan, where were you? I was looking high and low for you.”
“I went to the restroom for a bit. Why?” Ethan concealed his emotions well.
She took his arm, but he silently freed himself from her grip and informed her, “I have another appointment at night. Get the driver to send you home after the event.”
“Okay. Don’t drink too much, and don’t get home too late,” she reminded him while putting aside her displeasure.
He had not agreed to register their marriage at the City Hall that day. She had no choice but to put on a show as his understanding partner and soulmate to get her hands on that marriage certificate.
“Kay.”
After Ethan left, Marina wiped the smile off her face. His new outfit did not escape her keen eyes.
Did he change for the engagement that he would attend later, or was it for Olivia?
“Hello, out of my way, now!” Everly suddenly strutted over in her heels and recklessly bumped into Marina.
“Everly Hilton!”
That did not stop Everly. “Oh, my bad! I totally didn’t notice you at all!”
Marina was speechless at Everly’s jab. She wanted to bicker with Everly, but one of the guests at the scene dragged her back to
the venue.
Meanwhile, Everly was spamming Olivia with calls. She had wanted to get some gossip from Olivia, but her calls went
unanswered.
When she recalled how Ethan was on Keith and Olivia’s heels, she felt uneasy and dialed Olivia’s number once more.
No one picked up, and in the heat of the moment, she cursed, “Ethan Miller, you F***er! What the hell is going on?”
“Are you looking for me?” She jolted when she heard a cold male voice in her ear.
She looked over and found Ethan smoking a cigarette under the tree. The flicker of the lighter danced between the shadows on his face
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
