Chapter 7 The bodyguards dragged her up to the rooftop . The night wind howled , making her frail body sway with every gust . To make sure she tasted despair before death , they didn't bother to push her down immediately . Instead , they tied her to the railing with a rough hemp rope , then took out a blunt knife and began to saw through it slowly , painfully , like carving through flesh . Scrape - scrape- Each stroke of the blade shredded her nerves , forcing her to feel the terror of death creeping closer , second by agonizing second . Olivia lowered her eyes , staring at the spot below where Vivian had leapt earlier , her blood still staining the ground . The rope was thinning . Her body began to sway more violently .

When Olivia woke up again , the blinding sunlight leaked through the gap in the curtains . She opened her eyes with effort . Every inch of her body screamed in pain . But it also reminded her she was still alive . The ward door creaked open . Vivian strolled in with a group of people behind her , her expression smug with victory . " Well , well ... you're awake ? " she cooed sweetly , towering over Olivia . " Now you finally see how much Ethan and Sebastian love me , don't you ? " She leaned down , her breath brushing Olivia's car .

" Before Olivia could respond , Vivian suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard across the face . " Smack ! Smack ! " The sharp slaps echoed harshly in the quiet ward . Then , before Olivia could react , Vivian ripped open her collar and bolted out the door , screaming at the top of her lungs . " Help ! Somebody help ! " Footsteps pounded down the hallway . " What happened ? " Ethan was the first to rush in , a chill clinging to his tailored suit . Sebastian followed closely behind , his gaze turning glacial the moment it landed on Olivia . Vivian threw herself into Ethan's arms , sobbing hysterically . " She - she brought those men in here to assault me ! " " Olivia ! " Ethan grabbed her chin , fury burning in his eyes . " You just can't stop , can you ? Even in your condition , you're still causing trouble ? " Olivia lay motionless on the bed , eyes blank as they stared at the ceiling . Her lips were cracked and pale , an IV needle still taped to her wrist . Her body had wasted away to skin and bones . Her silence only enraged Ethan further . " Say something ! Did you send those men after Vivi again ? " The room was deathly quiet , broken only by the steady beep - beep of the monitor . " Fine , " Sebastian suddenly sneered . " Since you like playing dirty , then let's lock you in here with them . " He turned and signaled the bodyguards . " Lock the door .

" They're gone , " the leader grinned , turning toward Olivia . " Time for us to take real good care of Miss Sinclair . " Rough hands clamped over her mouth . Her hospital gown tore with a loud rip . Cold air bit at her exposed skin . Olivia thrashed violently . " Let go ! " Tears blurred her vision . Her desperate muffled cries were swallowed by the filthy palm over her mouth . She clawed at the man's arms , leaving deep , bloody gashes , only to be met with more brute force . " Pfft " Suddenly , she coughed up a mouthful of blood , staining the white sheets . The men froze . Then came a second and a third gush . Blood poured uncontrollably from her lips like a burst dam , quickly soaking most of the bed . " Shit ! She's coughing blood ! " " Get a doctor !
