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
Olivia’s voice was not loud, but Dorothy heard it clearly.As far as Dorothy was concerned, Olivia was nothing but a toy they were keeping captive, so she had no right to speak to Dorothy like this.“Olivia, don’t forget that Johnny asked me to take care of your food and drink. Are you planning on starving to death?”Olivia did not bother to argue with Dorothy. She buried her head under the quilt.Dorothy could not hear what was happening inside Olivia’s room and was annoyed. She laughed and said, “Don’t you wonder where I threw Uncle Wallace’s body?“That old man should be blamed for being a busybody. Of course I made him die a miserable death. I’ve thrown him into the sea. The fish might’ve already eaten him up. Are you surprised to hear that?“As for the case, I got rid of it. All the evidence you wanted is gone. Does that annoy you?”Olivia clung to the quilt, clenching her teeth to suppress the anger in her.She swore she would not let Dorothy go.As long as she was still
Dorothy sneered. “Olivia, I was kind enough to call you to come eat. Don’t be ungrateful!”“Open the door, then. Why are you still keeping the door locked? You’re such a hypocrite!”“Oh, Olivia, entertain me if you want to eat. Well, why don’t you bark a few times? When I’m satisfied, I’ll open the door for you to eat.”Dorothy grinned. She would make Olivia feel humiliated.However, she heard Olivia’s cold voice saying, “Bark like a dog? In your dreams, Dorothy!”Frustrated, Dorothy tapped on the door and threatened her. “Don’t take advantage of the situation. I won’t give you any more food if you don’t eat now. You can complain to Johnny about it if you can.”Complain?Olivia smiled wryly and shook her head. John would only beat her again if she complained to him about Dorothy.Her body could not bear such brutal abuse anymore. She would rather wait in the room until John’s anger subsided and not cause another conflict.She got up to open the window, but it seemed to be seal
Dorothy cautiously said, “Johnny, you locked the door from the outside.”John looked at her coldly upon hearing that. “Didn’t you give her food to eat? You locked it again?”Dorothy was startled by the look in his eyes. She lowered her head and said, “I-I was afraid you’d blame me for letting her go. I didn’t dare to…”“Forget it.”John did not bother to listen to her explanation. He kept banging on the door, louder and louder each time. “Olivia, are you waiting for me to kick the door down?”However, he received no response from Olivia.Dorothy suddenly fell into his arms when John wanted to kick the door down.“What’s the matter?”“Head… My head…hurts…”John looked at the door and then at Dorothy. “I’ll help you get back to your room.”“Sorry... Johnny.”John noticed Dorothy’s painful expression and felt sorry for her. He spoke gently. “I’m sorry for being harsh just now. Rest well. I’ll call the doctor.”Dorothy tugged his arm carefully. “Johnny, don’t fight with Liv. Le
When John walked past Olivia’s room, he stopped in his tracks. He wanted to knock on the door. After a long while, he drew his hand back.He walked down the stairs and left in his car.John was confused. he kept thinking about how Olivia was before everything happened.Olivia did not like to cry. Even if her hands were bleeding, she would only frown.However, Dorothy loved to cry. She always looked wronged and pitiful. At first, she made him feel sorry for her, but after a while, he became annoyed with it.However, Dorothy was the one who had accompanied him through painful days. She even donated a kidney to save him. He would never forget her kindness.As for Olivia…The thought made his blood boil in anger, and he subconsciously pressed down the accelerator harder.He drove to the bar and dialed Zac’s number.“Come and drink with me.”Zac was still outside Cliffside Villa. He looked at the second floor and sighed. “Which bar? I’ll be there soon.”“The old place.”“Okay.”
Olivia’s last scrap of rationale warned her that this was only for a moment, and she should not dream about being able to live in this moment for so long.However, she then heard John mutter, “Liv, the other day in West Village, I saw you in the fire. You scared me. I rushed in without thinking. I thought about how it would be nice if we both died in the fire together.”Olivia’s body trembled more.It made her wonder if those words were really from John.In West Village… Was it John who saved her, not Zac?When Zac told Olivia this, she could not believe her ears. Unwilling to accept it, she did not dare to believe it was really John.John had loved her very much before this and would have done anything for her. However, he… now belonged to Dorothy. He would never save her…Therefore, when she heard John mention the fire, Olivia felt her heart hammering as though she was going to have a heart attack.However, she did not turn around. She remained in the same position and asked,
