Chapter 116

Ethan placed his hands on both sides of her. He leaned in slightly and trapped her.

He loved the feeling of being in control of others. And Olivia was like his prey with nowhere to run.

He looked down at her with an aggressive look.

He lifted her chin with one of his hands and kissed her.

“If you have any complaints, suck it up.”

He was a tyrant, emotionless and unhinged.

Suddenly, Olivia noticed a blood stain on his left arm. The stain was slowly growing larger on his shirt.

She finally found an excuse to stop this. She quickly pushed him back and said, “You’re hurt.”

Ethan subconsciously tried to hide from her prying gaze. “It’s nothing, just a scratch.”

“You’re bleeding so much. There’s no way that’s a small wound.

“You must’ve broken some stitches. We need to get it bandaged now.”

He raised his eyebrows. “You do it,” he said.

She didn’t mind helping him bandage his wound. It was better than having sex with him.

She was able to hold him off from having sex with her for the rest of the night with that excuse.

Soon, it was Connor’s first birthday party.

The party was set on a cruise ship. Marina had picked the location herself.

She probably wanted to rub her victory in Olivia’s face.

This was where she won the battle a year ago.

Even now, when looking at the ocean, Olivia could still vividly remember Ethan swimming decisively

toward Marina.

She could also recall sinking into the bottom of the ocean. She felt so helpless as the ocean swallowed

her up back then.

The sun was setting

Kelvin came to get her as promised. He was still as talkative as ever.

“Mrs. Miller, the cruise ship is going to be so lively tonight! There will be a lot of activities. A firework

show is also happening later.”

He meant for Olivia to enjoy herself tonight. She had had a tough year.

But he neglected the fact that the celebration tonight was meant for Ethan and Marina.

It had nothing to do with her.

Oliva chatted with Kelvin half–heartedly for a bit.

She was the last one to board the ship. It was to avoid meeting the Carltons, as that would have been

awkward.

Ethan was unexpectedly looking out for her

Kelvin had gotten used to seeing Olivia in down jackets. His eyes glowed in surprise when he saw her

in an evening gown.” Mrs Miller, you look gorgeous today”

She had never accompanied Ethan to any events in the three years she was with him. Naturally, it

meant that she never had the chance to wear an evening gown.

She dressed herself up today. She even put on heels.

She quickly attracted the gazes of men and the jealousy of women.

Most people did not know who she was. Many men approached her to hit on her.

Calista was mad with anger. “She’s still as much of a show–off as ever. So disgusting.

“Why are you so mad at her, Calista? She seems

“She’s pretty and has a great figure. She isn’t wearing anything outrageous either.”

Calista replied, “It’s Connor’s first birthday party today. She’s wearing a black gown and a black veil.

“Did she think she was attending a funeral?” She snorted.

“Stop the nonsense, Calista. Marina would beat the hell out of you if she heard what you said.

“Don’t ruin this happy occasion with your foul mouth.”
