Chapter 44
“Olivia, do you know how miserable Leia was while you were living your princess life? I personally wentto the village where she used to live. It was a poor and desolate hellhole. Many of them hadn’t had afull meal for three whole days. I heard she had been sold off and locked in a woodshed like a dog.She’s the daughter of the Miller family, she should’ve been treated like a princess, but she was treatedlike dirt! She suffered for so many years, and when she finally made her way to Aldenvine… could havefound her if she held on for a little longer.”

Olivia couldn’t speak. She could hardly breathe with Ethan’s hands around her neck. Tears couldn’tstop flowing from her eyes as pushed Ethan back, trying to stir him from his rage.
Ethan was lost in his grief. “She was tainted by that bastard, your father. She was choked to death andstuffed in a box. She must have felt so hopeless. You look like you’ve lost all hope now too. Can youfeel even a little bit of what she felt?”
“Let … go!” Olivia struggled, but it was useless.
Ethan’s eyes
were
red like a rabid animal.novelbin
Olivia struggled to breathe. She knew that she was going to be choked to death if this continued. Shehad to keep fighting.
“Olivia, I was going to let you go, but you came barging in.”
The look on Ethan’s face grew more intense. His eyes lost their focus as he slowly said, “Liv, let’s gosee Leia. She must be so lonely. My suffering will stop after we’re both dead in the ground.”
Olivia knew that Ethan had lost his mind when he said that. In her struggle, Ethan accidentally touchedher wound that had just been stitched up yesterday. The wound ripped, and fresh scarlet blood soakedher white silk nightgown.
Seeing the red, Ethan finally let her go. Olivia lay on the ground. Ethan wanted to check her wound, butOlivia quickly retreated. Her eyes stared at him in full alert.
Ethan retracted his hand numbly and regained himself. What had he done? He almost killed Olivia.
“Your arm…” he said hoarsely.
Olivia got up from the ground, grabbed her coat from the sofa, braced the cold, and left the Millerresidence.
She thought she was a goner when he started choking her. It was like her whole life was about to end.She thought she would die, and worse, the near–death experience was not as calming as she thoughtit would be.
She only had one thought–run!
Ethan looked down and stared at his hands. How could he do that to Olivia? The raging cold wind fromoutside brought him back to his senses.
He quickly followed after Olivia with his car as he thought of how frantically Olivia had rushed into thesnowstorm.
Olivia was not thinking. She hid behind a tree the moment she heard a car. She was still tremblingwhen she saw Ethan leave. She was safe from the clutches of danger.
She searched for her phone and hesitated before calling Everly. Everly’s loud voice came through,“Miss me, babe?” Olivia suppressed her sobs. “Eve, can you come pick me up?”
