'Better than me in every way?'John was furious as a chilling aura exuded from his body. His deep eyes stared sinisterly at the woman in bed.He wanted to have a peaceful conversation with her, but she refused.He leaned over and bit her neck. "Okay, Olivia. You made me do this!"As he reached out his hand to do more, the woman beneath him asked out of the blue."John, aren't you disgusted when you're so convinced that many men have touched me?"John confused her.He called her cheap, unwilling to believe that she did not cheat on him. At the same time, he touched her without feeling disgusted. Why?John's hand froze instantly. He grabbed her jaw and sneered. "You're right. I'm disgusted with you!"Olivia's heart pricked with pain. She swallowed her grief, licked her dry lips, and forced a smile.She seemed to be smiling bitterly and also laughing at herself. "Are you going to continue?"John saw her smile and suddenly felt bitter. He found it irritating no matter what.He
Wes froze and shook his head. "No. Why do you ask, Sir?"John narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said nothing.'What the h*ll was Olivia doing in West Village?'He did not believe she was meeting a man in such a place....Zac knocked on the door after seeing John leave.Thinking it was the caretaker, Olivia got dressed and lay down under the covers. "Come in."Then she looked up to lock eyes with Zac."Mr. Quinton?""I came to see you these two days, but you were unconscious. How are you feeling now? Are you okay?"Olivia nodded. "Yeah, not bad. Sleep helps the wounds heal."The two knife wounds on her body had almost healed, and only a few small scars were left on her hands and knees. Slowly, the scars would be gone."Why did you go to West Village?"Olivia paused, not expecting Zac to know about it. Then she thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Quinton, did you save me?"She could not imagine who else it would be."I..."Zac froze and put the fruit on the table. "
She failed to save Uncle Wallace, and she could not abandon Uncle Wallace's body.He was the person who watched her grow up and her last elder and family...Olivia's tears started to flow when she thought about it.She used to think of herself as a princess living in the castle. She lived in luxury and was doted on and spoiled. She never thought she would lose everything one day."Olivia?"Zac nudged her arm.Olivia instantly came to herself and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. With a wry smile, she said, "I'm fine. I'm just sad because Uncle Wallace is dead... I'm really fine."Zac frowned, feeling a little heartbroken for some reason.'Why is she always so stubborn? Why won't she ask me for help?'However, come to think of it, what was their relationship?"Rest well. Don't overthink it. I will help you find Uncle Wallace...""No thanks. You won't find him."Olivia pressed her lips together and looked up, trying to control her tears. "Dorothy won't let me find hi
The caretaker happened to return after buying ravioli. Seeing Zac, she said with a smile, "Sir, are you here to see Ms. Larson?""Shh."Zac quickly stopped her and said, "Don't tell her. Take good care of her. I gotta go."Puzzled, the caretaker nodded. "Okay."Olivia drank the soup, checked the time, and glanced at the caretaker, who had been sitting next to her. She was worried.She had no idea who hired the caretaker. If it was John, would the caretaker give away her whereabouts?She had to find a way to trick her into leaving."Am I the only one you're taking care of?"The girl froze slightly. "Yes, just you, Ms. Larson.""You must be tired of taking care of me these days. I've woken up today. You should go back. Have a good night's rest and come back tomorrow morning."However, the caretaker shook her head and walked up to her with bright eyes staring at her. "Ms. Larson, did I do something wrong?""No... No."Olivia was surprised and thought she had figured out someth
"Don't touch Uncle Wallace's body. He's dead. What more do you want?"The man smiled lewdly and touched Olivia's cheek. "Spend the night with me, and I'll give you the old man's body. What do you think?""F*ck off!"Olivia looked away and flung his hand away. "Don't try to threaten me with such dirty tricks!"Undaunted, the man grabbed Olivia's hands and pressed them over her head to the bed. He said with a sneer, "Isn't that old man important to you?""What's the matter? Unwilling to give yourself away? Your husband doesn't love you anymore. He thinks we're guilty anyway. Why resist me?"Olivia bit her lip and tried to resist, but she was too weak, and he was too strong. She could not struggle free.Uncle Wallace was important, and it was true that John did not believe her. However, she could not give herself away. It was her last dignity!Finally..."Stop struggling. You can’t resist me."Don't worry. I will be very gentle. I promise you won't regret it. It's just a deal. W
Olivia wanted to move too, but her legs were numb, so she stayed in the position.Suddenly, a hand grabbed her head and lifted her from the bed. "Are you afraid to answer? Olivia, why are you so cheap? Can't you stand being alone for a day?""I was forced...""Forced? You seemed to be enjoying yourself. How were you forced?"John's mockery made Olivia's heart ache. 'Can't he see how messy the place is?'He was fooled after all."I was forced."She repeated.John got angrier and squeezed harder. His other hand gripped her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.Their eyes met, and Olivia shuddered."Olivia, you forced me to do this!"'Forced? Yes, I forced him.'Olivia had no idea where she got the courage. She punched John in the chest repeatedly, crying and yelling."What the h*ll do you know? John, you're braindead! I have nothing to do with the man. Not two years ago, and not now. Anyone can see it!"John froze. She was different. Before, she would only cry and beg h
Olivia felt ridiculous after asking.Their relationship was nearly over. It was pointless to ask if he had loved her before.Why did it matter if he had ever loved her? Olivia scoffed. “You said you would give up your own life to protect me. You said you would make me the happiest woman in the world.”She looked at him. “But look at our life now, Johnny…“These past two years, you have felt nothing but hate and suspicion for me. Everything I do is wrong. Everything I do makes you angry.”Olivia was not the kind of person who would go all in just because of love. She would not cling to a man just because she still loved him.That was why she wanted freedom. However, John refused to set her free. She was being forced to waste her time with him.John looked at her. For some reason, he suddenly noticed that the glow in her eyes was gone.“Olivia, you don’t deserve it.”‘Don’t deserve it?’Olivia bit the back of her hand, trying to stop herself from shedding tears. She smiled bi
“Dorothy, he promised me that too. You’ll end up like me one day, so don’t bother putting on an act in front of me.”“Olivia!”John shouted, “How dare you accuse her! I wouldn’t have spared your life if Dorothy didn’t ask me to.”“Johnny, don’t do this…”John touched Dorothy’s head gently. “How is your wound? Is it healing?”Dorothy leaned into his arms and nodded. “Well, if you spend more time with me, I’m sure I’ll get better faster.”“Dolly, keep an eye on Olivia, and don’t let her leave this room.”Dorothy was stunned. Then, she frowned and tried to convince John otherwise. “Johnny, you… but Liv needs to eat.”“Heh. You decide what she eats.”With that, John hugged Dorothy and cast a cold glance at Olivia, who was on the ground. Then, he closed the door coldly.Sitting on the ground, Olivia smiled wryly as she listened to their affectionate conversation outside the door.She could not defeat him.All because she was still in love with him.Her lungs ached as she coughe
