Spring Without Return - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 "You think I would not dare?" Ethan's eyes burned with fury as his grip tightened around Olivia's throat. "Of course you would not." Olivia shouted recklessly, as if she had nothing left to lose. "You are one of the top three richest people on the Forbes list now. You have money, power, and status. You would never throw all that away. "You are just an idiot who got played by a woman. Vivian was the only one stupid enough to stay by your side." "You still dare mention Vivian?" The rage inside Ethan exploded. His hand tightened so much it seemed like he might crush her neck.

Around them, the sounds of cameras snapping grew louder. Phone flashes lit up nonstop. The assistant rushed forward and grabbed Ethan's arm. "Mr. Ferguson, not here. This is getting too much attention." Only then did Ethan snap back to his senses. He looked around at the crowd gathering nearby and the dozens of phones pointed at him. Grinding his teeth, he released Olivia. She collapsed onto the floor, coughing and gasping for air. "Take her away." The bodyguards stepped forward and dragged the coughing Olivia up from the ground.

Another man carried the screaming child, whose cries echoed through the terminal. Ignoring the whispers, the stares, and the constant filming, Ethan turned and walked quickly toward his car. Once they returned to the villa, Ethan threw Olivia onto the living room floor while the child was taken into another room under supervision. "Talk." Ethan stared down at her. "Where is Vivian?" After catching her breath, Olivia lifted her head and suddenly burst into laughter. "Vivian? You are still looking for her?" She laughed harder. "Ethan... have you actually fallen in love with her? Too bad.

You will never find her again." "What do you mean?" Ethan's eyes turned icy. "You hid her?" "T do not have that kind of power." Olivia laughed almost wildly. "However, it is pretty funny. You were the one who forced her into detention for my sake, and now you are desperately searching for her. "The day she got bailed out, I was near the police station watching someone take her away. You have no idea how satisfying that felt." "You saw her?" Ethan grabbed her shoulders. "Who took her?" "How would I know?" Olivia shoved his hands away. "All I know is that she is gone.

She is never coming back, and you will spend the rest of your life never seeing her again. "Ethan, this is exactly what you deserve." "Be quiet." The last thread of Ethan's self-control snapped. He lifted his leg and kicked Olivia hard across the legs. A horrifying scream tore from her throat. Her legs collapsed beneath her, limp and twisted ina way that made it clear they were broken. Her whole body trembled from the pain, yet she still glared at Ethan with venom in her eyes. "Ethan... you are going to pay for this.
