Even After Death

Wayne looked at the woman in his arms. Her exquisite collarbone was completely exposed. Even the shape of her cleavage could be seen clearly.

Olivia noticed his gaze and pushed him away. She quickly jumped onto the bed, covering herself up with the blanket.

Wayne's eyes darkened. He rubbed his thumb against his index finger. There was a sense of emptiness in his palms after she got away from him.

An indescribable feeling arose again as he looked at her curled up in his bed.

He looked away. "It's nothing. Don't touch my things without permission again. This is your final warning.”

He quickly left after he said that. Olivia cursed inwardly.

She sighed in relief after confirming that he was really gone. Her tensed-up muscles relaxed at that moment.

She saw that she was still holding his boxers in her hand, so she threw it away.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

The wardrobe was still open. The suitcase too. He didn't close it up.

If the ring were really in there, he wouldn't be so careless with it. He probably didn't bring the ring with him here.

Olivia put the boxers back and rummaged through the suitcase.

As expected, there wasn't anything important in it—only some personal belongings.

She sighed. The mission wasn't going to be easy. She tried to think about it.

Since the ring was the key to a certain base and it wasn't on him, could he have given it to someone he trusted before he left?

She probably wouldn't be able to get the ring while they were in this city. As the battle was about to start, Olivia wasn't sure how much longer they would stay in the city.

If she spent too much time here, Mason and Ethan would worry about her. It seemed like there was only one way to stop the war.

It would be impossible to get Wayne to give up, given how headstrong he was. The only way was for her to work with Ethan and have him think of something.

She had thrown her phone away. The only way for her to contact Ethan was to run away from this place and find him. It was an impossible task, but she had to give it a shot. She needed Ethan's help.

Olivia ran away again.

The last time, she intentionally allowed Wayne to discover that she had escaped. This time, she left in secret.

She avoided the cameras and escaped through the area where the security was weakest.

It was the first time she had seen Dexim City in the daylight. The busy streets and buildings filled with people had become debris.

Most of the people in the city had been moved.

Other than the debris, there were also bodies everywhere. She felt horrible when she saw them. The sight steeled her resolve to stop the war.

At that very moment, a group of people were discussing battle strategies. Alan was describing his plan. He turned on the monitor. “I've already found their shelter. We should just make a move now and catch them off guard. I know a path in Xander District... Is that Ms. Ophelia?"

He dispatched drones to scout the terrain. He didn't expect her to show up in the footage.

Olivia didn't expect drones to be operating during a ceasefire. She ran into an alley and hid.

Wayne's angry voice could be heard coming from the drone. "You bitch, how did you get there? Did you try to run away again?"

If he hadn't seen her from the drone, he wouldn't have noticed she had gotten away. She was almost out of the city too.

Olivia was at a loss for words. She was too unlucky. She was discovered so quickly after she escaped.

"Stand there and don't move! Make another move and I'll break your legs!"
