Chapter 61
He paused in the doorway, glanced atagain, and said quietly, “This is better for all involved-now!” Then he
turned
and left.
Ethan didn’t say a word.
He just sat there across the long dining table, still wearing that ridiculous entitled expression, and started eating.
Fork in one hand, knife in the other, like we were having scivil dinner instead ofbegging him-again-for
freedom.
“You're seriously going to ignore everything I just said?” | asked,
eyebrows raised.
He didn’t look up. “Why don’t you just sit and eat!”
“I'm not hungry, Ethan. I'm trying to end this marriage with a
shred of dignity.”
He swallowed and finally glanced at me. “Then stop playing with that Alexander/guy. You think | don’t know
what's going
on?”
| slammed my hand on the table. “There isnothinggoing on! And even if there was, you lost the right to have an
opinion the moment you crawled into Chole’s bed!”

He pushed back his chair and stood up, slowly walking toward
me.
| instinctively stepped back. “Don’t try to intimidate me.”
“I'm not,” he said, voice quiet. “I'm just... tired of hearing the same
things.”
| shook my head. “Then do something new. Sign the divorce
papers.”
He didn’t respond. Instead, in one swift motion, he reached out and grabbed my arm. | tried to pull away, but his

“Let go of me!”
Before | could shout again, | heard a scuffle at the entrance.
“What-?" | turned and saw my bodyguard being shoved to the ground by two of the Hawthrone security team.
My heart leapt.
“Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?” | yelled.
One of them looked straight pastand gave Ethan a slight
nod. He didn’t say a word. Instead, he scoopedup like | was a

flinched.
“Putdown! Are you insane?!”

“You'll understand soon,” he muttered.
“I swear to God, if you don’t let go of me-
He shoved open the front door, walked down the steps, and carriedstraight to his car. | was screaming now,
fully aware that every passing staff member in the Hawthrone estate saw
this and didnothing.
Once inside, he locked the doors and hit the accelerator.
| banged my fist on the passenger side window. “This is kidnapping! Do you wantto press charges?”
He didn’t respond. His jaw was clenched, his knuckles white on
the wheel.
The car lurched forward and sped through the estate’s iron
gates.
And just then, it happened-we brushed past another car that had just pulled up to the gate.
| turned my head and saw her.
Chole.
She wore a loose cardigan, bandaged wrist visible. Her face turned pale the second she spottedin Ethan's
passenger seat.

“Ethan!” she shouted.
He didn’t even glance back.
“ETHAN!” she screamed again, but he floored the accelerator.
| twisted toward him, livid. “What the hell are you doing?!”
“Calm down,” he said without emotion.
“You're unbelievable.” | slumped into my seat, trying to steady
my breath. “Where are you even taking me?”
Still no answer.
| turned to face him, fully. “What are you up to, Ethan? What's your endghere?”

“Ethan-please-slow down!” | shouted over the roar.
He didn’t glance at me. His jaw was tight, his eyes focuse n the road. “What are you afraid of, Liv? You afraid to
die?”
My breath caught. “No. I-just want to talk, to figure this out-"

“We're not talking anywhere!” He swerved off the highway. |
felt the tires crunch over gravel.
“Where are you taking me?” | asked, voice shaking.
He slowed enough to pull onto a narrow, wooded path. Rain had recently fallen; the air smelled of moss and pine
resin.
“I don’t know,” he said, voice calm, eerily gentle. “But tonight,
we're alone-just you and me.”
Alarm buzhed in my ears. “Ethan-this isn’t right. Letgo. We
can end this without...” | swallowed.
Without violence. | didn’t even let the thought finish.
