Mischievous laughter could be heard. Calmly, Olivia scanned the area.There were a total of 11 people in the room—nine men and two women.Aside from Olivia, a woman was shrinking herself at a corner.Since they were prisoners on death row, they must be malicious people.Olivia knew that Ethan would definitely have a backup plan for this. One of the people here worked for him.She sat down at an empty corner, and the first man to speak to her before this approached her.He stank, probably because it had been a while since he last showered.The tall man placed his hand against the wall next to her ear. Frowning, she questioned, "Anything I can help you with?""No matter how you came here, you have to listen to me from now on. You have to do everything I say. Got it?"Olivia raised her gaze on him. "What do you want me to do?"He grinned lecherously, revealing his yellow teeth. "There are only men here. Now that we have a female joining us, what do you think we're going to do?
The remaining time passed without trouble. Olivia stayed in the corner all the while, resting her back against the wall.Milton and his gang kept casting a vengeful gaze at her sometimes.She knew that they were biding their time for a chance.When they were sent to the island, the killing started.Thanks to the special training, Olivia was able to be one of the top candidates with flying colors.The two men who kept sleeping in a corner were twins. They wanted to form an ally with Olivia, but she turned them down.She was a lone wolf.She had been observing the other woman named June Redmont. Everyone kept a safe distance from her. Not even Milton dared to mess with her.She had a dark aura looming over her, giving off a snake-like character to Olivia.Like a poisonous snake, June loved to stay in a dark corner.She wouldn't mess with others. But when someone provoked her, she would counter without holding herself back.Olivia attempted to get close to June, but the latter
Ethan's expression was indifferent. He was willing to grant Olivia freedom, but only if the freedom was within the boundaries of his control. The danger on the island was out of his control. A single accident could cause him to regret "Yes, Mr. Miller. I'll get her disqualified now." A few minutes later, Joseph came running over anxiously. "Bad news, Mr. Miller. The tracker on Mrs. Miller has been disabled." Ethan threw away the cigarette between his fingers and looked at him abruptly. "What did you say?""I checked a while ago, and it was fine. It didn't lose its signal. It just disappeared. That tracker was made with sturdy materials. It's hard to break unless Mrs. Miller disabled it herself." Ethan furrowed his brows. It was clear that Olivia did it intentionally. She probably guessed that Ethan would get her disqualified this round. She had already made up her mind to join the Black Ravens. So, she acted before Ethan could make his move. Ethan knew he shouldn't h
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
