She could only look at the man whom she loved like he was part of her own soul, the man who promised to take care of her forever, in a daze.Fairytales were lies.In the end, she was labeled as ‘crazy’.The car slowly stopped, and John opened the door to drag her out.Olivia lifted her head to look over. As she looked at the familiar yard that was now overgrown with grass, her tears fell uncontrollably.The Larson's Residence was flourishing back then, but now it was so decadent yet desolate.The seal on the entrance had not been taken off when John pulled her into the main building. After throwing her on the floor, he clapped. Shortly after, two bodyguards came out with a teenage boy.Olivia was stunned. It was her brother Ian.She got up hurriedly and wiped her eyes hastily with the back of her hands. “Ian?”Ian lifted his head in fear to look at her. Then, he took a step backward and asked while trembling, “Who are you?”Olivia was frozen on the ground. She pointed at hers
Olivia felt like she was in a long dream.In the dream, Dad, Mom, and Uncle Wallace were still alive, and Ian was a cheerful boy that loved being by her side. Johnny, on the other hand, was wiping the chocolate off the corner of her mouth as he lovingly said, “My hungry kitten.”She was smiling. She could not stop smiling.However, she suddenly tasted a hint of bitterness from the corner of her lips. Then, she realized her cheeks were wet.Why was she crying?She was having a wonderful, happy time, so what was there to cry about?At that moment, Dorothy came walking towards them, dressed in a white dress, and everyone moved to greet her with a smiling face, except Olivia herself. She was frozen to the spot.Before she realized it, everyone else was standing opposite her. John was looking lovingly at Dorothy, and it was almost like she was just an extra in a play.Olivia was terrified. Her tears would not stop flowing. She struggled to pull Dorothy and John apart but could not g
Zyla quickly took a piece of tissue paper and wiped Olivia’s hand clean. Then, she took out some medicine, passed it to Olivia, and said, “Here’s your medicine, Sis Liv.”After taking her medication, Olivia closed her eyes. She no longer dared to think about the Larson’s Residence.Zyla did not stay for long. After watching Olivia finish her chicken soup, she packed everything up and left.Right after Zyla left, John came in. As he sat on the stool, he seemed to realize that there was residual heat on it. He frowned. His dark pools of eyes bore deep into Olivia's.“Who came here?”“No one.”“Olivia Larson, how dare you! How dare you get your b*stard men to come to even the hospital for you?”Olivia saw that he was angry and felt a sharp pain in her heart. Then, she sneered. “Why, have I wounded your heart again, Mr. Freeman?”John stood up when he saw that Olivia did not refute what he said. He pinched her chin tightly like he was trying to take her apart.“Olivia Larson, it l
John was sitting in the backseat of the Maybach. He saw lightning flash across the skies, and his heart trembled a little.“Wes, what happened 17 years ago?”Wes paused and looked at John from his rearview mirror. “Sir, don’t you remember?”“Was it something important?”“Yes. I heard that 17 years ago, Madam was abducted during a stormy night and thrown into an enclosed hut.”John felt a pang in his heart. He always told himself that Olivia had brought it all upon herself, but he could not stop himself from worrying.At that moment, it started pouring rain outside the car, and the raindrops were hitting the car like pellets.John frowned, looked outside once more, and said, “Turn around.”Wes’ heart jumped for joy. It looked like Sir still cared about Madam.He quickly turned the car around and sped towards the little hut.However, before he could reach the hut, John got a phone call from Dorothy.“Johnny, where did you and Liv go? It’s raining and thundering out there. I’m
This was the first time Zac heard Zyla cry, and it shocked him. He asked quickly, “Where?”Zyla looked around and saw that the place she was at was an extremely rural location with no landmarks at all.“I… I don’t know as well. I’ll send you my location.”“Okay. I’ll be there right away.”Once he hung up the phone, Zac got a skilled locksmith and drove quickly toward the location Zyla was at.Olivia had been abducted once before. She was afraid of the dark. He knew that.Especially on such a dark and stormy night. This must be like a nightmare to her.At that moment, Olivia’s consciousness started to fade.The wound on her head would not stop bleeding, and when combined with her already existing fear, caused her to go into an oxygen- and blood- deprived state. She felt like she heard someone call out to her, but she could not hear clearly, so she could not respond.It was like she had been sent back to that rainy night 17 years ago. She hugged her knees and moved to the side,
“Put her on the phone!”Zac hesitated for a moment before he stood up and walked out. “You don’t need to know about that.”“Mr. Quinton, is that Johnny?”Zac paused in his tracks and covered his phone. “No. It’s a work call.”Olivia pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Mr. Quinton, we can’t hide from trouble if it wants to find us. Give me the phone. Let me tell him.”The two of them had a silent battle for a while before Zac passed his phone to her.Olivia cleared her throat, lifted her head to make her tears flow back, and said, “John Freeman, I hate you! I don’t wanna see you!”Before today, if you were to ask her, she would be sure that she was still very in love with John.However, after being thrown into the little black hut, she was unsure of that.The young man who was once her bringer of light had thrown her into the darkness himself, snuffing out all light and hope.It seemed like she was… truly tired now.Her voice was calm and firm, but it was also cold. At the o
Yesterday night when John rushed back to the Cliffside Villa, the only thing he saw was Dorothy fainted in the living room with blood on her body. He could only send her to the hospital immediately. After her condition became stable, he drove to the little black hut at midnight.He wanted to save Olivia, but what would be the outcome of that?When he arrived, he immediately saw that the lock had been pried open and that there were two wheel marks on the ground. He did not see anything else. He had reached out to her, but all he received was an ‘I hate you’.John snorted and punched the glass with full force.The glass immediately shattered, and the fragments stained with his blood fell to the ground, making a crisp sound as they fell. Wes quickly ran inside and was shocked upon seeing John’s bleeding hand. He went to take the medical kit. “Sir, your hand is bleeding.”John did not car much about his wound. He turned to Wes and questioned him. “I loved her so much. Why did
John looked over the report unwillingly. He understood every word separately, but he was confused when he read them all together. He looked at Zac suspiciously. “What do you mean? Is this a falsified report?”“Mr. Freeman, you’re not just stupid now, but you can’t read as well?”Zac laughed coldly. “Dorothy said that Olivia caused her miscarriage, but look carefully. She was diagnosed infertile three years ago.”“Impossible! Dolly was…”“She told you that she was pregnant, right? She was just using it as bait to take over Liv’s status as your main woman, but unfortunately, she failed.”“Zac Quinton! How can you accuse Dolly of that? She saved me two years ago!”John was a grateful person, so he never forgot about Dorothy’s kidney. Which was why as long as he was alive, he would satisfy any requests from her. Even though he never loved her.Zac shook his head helplessly and with grief. “John, then what about Olivia? You refuse to believe me when I show you evidence agains
