Chapter 71: Shattered Bonds

(Olivia's POV)

"b***h! You're looking for a beating, aren't you?!" The man's voice cut through the darkness like a knife.

His large hands clamped down on my arm like iron pincers. The pressure was excruciating, but I refused to let go.

“You stupid b***h,” he growled, frustration evident in his voice. "It's just a necklace!"

But it wasn't just a necklace. It was Lily. My beautiful, sweet Lily who had died too young, whose ashes I carried close to my heart because I couldn't bear to be separated from her.

The man's grip tightened, his fingers digging painfully into my flesh. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, tasting blood.

When I still wouldn't release the pendant, he resorted to kicking me. His boot connected with my ribs, sending waves of agony through my body.

"Stop," I gasped, curling tighter around the pendant. "Please..."

He ignored my pleas, delivering another brutal kick to my side. I felt something c***k inside me, but still, I held on.

Each impact forced a cry from my lips, the sound echoing in the empty wilderness. There was no one to hear me. No one to help.

Ethan had abandoned me here, rushing to Victoria's side without a second thought.

As the pain intensified, my thoughts drifted back to the day Lily died. Her small, pale face. The way her hand had felt in mine, so fragile, so cold. The beeping of the machines slowing, then stopping altogether.

"Lily, don't be afraid," I murmured through bloodied lips. "Mommy will protect you this time."

I had failed to protect her in life. I couldn't save her from the kidney failure that took her from me. But I would protect her now, even if it cost me my life.
