Chapter 158

The scalding temperature seemed to spread from the back of her hand to every inch of her body. Olivia

was terrified.

“Ethan, the islanders are good people. They took great care of me, and they didn’t hurt Connor–not

even a little. Connor loves it here. The kidnapping was a misunderstanding. I can explain…‘

She didn’t try to break free from his grasp. Instead, she begged earnestly, “I’ll go back with you, so

please let them go, okay?”

With the cigarette between his fingers, Ethan caressed her head.

He said in a cold voice, “Liv, why are you always making me angry? If you were this obedient from the

start, we wouldn’t have come to this point.”

Olivia suppressed her sorrow. She raised her pale face, forcing a smile as tears pooled in her eyes.

“Okay. I won’t run away again. Ever.”

“Is that a promise? What do we do if you run away again?”

Olivia silently looked at him. The tears in her eyes broke his heart.

Still holding the cigarette between his fingers, he held Olivia’s chin. The burning end of the cigarette

was mere inches away from her skin.

She could feel the heat coming from the cigarette. If she moved even a little, she would be burned.

Olivia could only stay in place, allowing Ethan to speak in her ear. “Liv, if you run away again, I’ll wipe

this island off the face

of the earth. I mean it.”

Olivia closed her eyes in humiliation, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Yes, I understand.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a kiss stole her breath. Without holding back, he forcefully invaded

every inch of her.

She didn’t want it at all. There were at least a hundred people around them.

The sea breeze came in. With a tug, he pulled her into his arms.

The cigarette fell from Ethan’s hand as he deepened the kiss.

Olivia was filled with embarrassment and humiliation. Ethan knew that, but it didn’t mean anything to

him. With this, he would show Jack who Olivia belonged to.

Sometimes, men wanted to win so badly that it was absurd.

Right before Olivia suffocated, Ethan finally let go of her. Then, he glared coldly at Jack before taking

Olivia away like a victor.

Olivia knew very well that this was just the beginning. Ethan wouldn’t let her off the hook so easily.

“Mama!” Connor ran toward her from a distance away.

When Connor scrambled up to Olivia, Ethan reached out and picked him up. “Go play at the side.”

Connor pouted in dissatisfaction. But since his father had stopped him, he dared not disobey. He could

only look at Olivia pitifully.

He had no idea that Olivia couldn’t even protect herself. She was unable to help him.

Ethan handed the child over to Kelvin. Then, he took Olivia into her room.

When the door clicked shut, Ethan forced Olivia against the wall.

Olivia subconsciously tried to struggle. Ethan gripped her hands and raised them above her head. The

man’s leg was wedged between hers so that she was completely trapped.

Ethan grabbed her chin, then whispered in her ear, “Did you fall for that kidnapper?”

When Olivia heard those mocking words, she was extremely upset. She glared at him.

“I didn’t fall for him. I just hate you.”

The words pierced Ethan’s heart when he heard them. His half–closed eyes were filled with coldness.

“What did you say?”
