Chapter 64
Even After Death
Gently, Ethan loosened his grip on her body. âLiv, remember the punishment from today.â
âEthan, Iâm begging you. Just come at me if youâre angry. Donât you do anything to the Rogers Family!
Hey, untie me. Donât leave me alone here! Iâm scared! Ethan, turn off the shower. Iâm freezing, and I
canât fall sick nowâ¦â
She saw him leaving and heard the click of the door shutting behind him.
âDonât leave me alone! Iâm wrong. You can torture me in any way you want, just donât leave me alone
here. Iâm feeling cold. Please let me out! Iâll listen⦠No, donât turn off the lights! Iâm scared!â
There was a moment when he almost caved in after hearing her desperate pleas, but it was a fleeting
feeling.
He lazily changed into a new outfit and gracefully made his way to the lobby. There, Marina was
searching around for him. She felt relieved when he showed up without Olivia by his side. âEthan,
where were you? I was looking high and low for you.â
âI went to the restroom for a bit. Why?â Ethan concealed his emotions well.
She took his arm, but he silently freed himself from her grip and informed her, âI have another
appointment at night. Get the driver to send you home after the event.â
âOkay. Donât drink too much, and donât get home too late,â she reminded him while putting aside her
displeasure.
He had not agreed to register their marriage at the City Hall that day. She had no choice but to put on a
show as his understanding partner and soulmate to get her hands on that marriage certificate.
âKay.â
After Ethan left, Marina wiped the smile off her face. His new outfit did not escape her keen eyes.
Did he change for the engagement that he would attend later, or was it for Olivia?
âHello, out of my way, now!â Everly suddenly strutted over in her heels and recklessly bumped into
Marina.
âEverly Hilton!â
That did not stop Everly. âOh, my bad! I totally didnât notice you at all!â
Marina was speechless at Everlyâs jab. She wanted to bicker with Everly, but one of the guests at the
scene dragged her back to
the venue.
Meanwhile, Everly was spamming Olivia with calls. She had wanted to get some gossip from Olivia, but
her calls went
unanswered.
When she recalled how Ethan was on Keith and Oliviaâs heels, she felt uneasy and dialed Oliviaâs
number once more.
No one picked up, and in the heat of the moment, she cursed, âEthan Miller, you fucker! What the hell
is going on?â
âAre you looking for me?â She jolted when she heard a cold male voice in her ear.
She looked over and found Ethan smoking a cigarette under the tree. The flicker of the lighter danced
between the shadows on his face
