Final Farewell; Letting Go of Yesterday

“Ethan, please, let me and the child go,” she begged. “As long as you agree, I am willing to give your beloved Lily a place. You can even ask me to kneel down in front of her and kowtow to her!”

The lights flickered, casting eerie shadows across the room.

With a look of utter disgust, Ethan sneered, "Casey, are you that cheap?" 

His voice dripped with mockery. "Aren't you the one who always thinks you're superior? The one who refuses to admit your mistakes?"

The woman laid on the ground. She no longer had the innocent smile she once had. Instead, she looked haggard as if she had been forced into becoming a resentful woman in the deep palace.

“I was wrong, Ethan, I know I was wrong, I apologize to you and Lily, okay?

“I should not have slapped her, I should not have gotten pregnant with your child and the worst thing I should have done was fall in love with you in this deal.

“I was wrong, I will never do it again, please let me go!” she pleaded again and again.

Ethan stood up, pinched Casey's chin, looked left and right at the slap marks he had left on her and was very satisfied as he asked, “Wifey, why are you still so naive?

“The blood of my Olson Family will never be left outside. I promise you that as long as you give birth to the child safely, we will live a good life in the future. Also, the honor and title of Mrs. Olson will still be yours.

“As for divorce, there's no way we can get divorced. After all, how could I let you go when your brother refused to let my sister go at that time?

“I want you to live in my hands for the rest of your life, to see you living a life worse than death, to see you begging for mercy.”

He looked at the woman's deathly pale face, a trace of heartache seemed to pass through his eyes and he helped her up. 

Then he added, “Until I'm completely tired of you.”

When she was five months pregnant, late at night, Casey got up and drank water, holding her big belly.

Lily’s screams of pain and enjoyment came from the room downstairs, like a cat in heat in spring, echoing throughout the villa.

Ethan opened the door and met Casey's eyes, feeling a little surprised.

The next second, he raised the corners of his mouth mischievously before he said, “It just so happens that we have run out of condoms at home. Go out and buy a few boxes yourself.”

How ridiculous.

Ethan actually asked his wife to buy family planning products for him and his lover.

“Don't you understand what I'm saying? Lily is still waiting inside!

“Casey, who are you pretending to be wronged for? I am a normal man with physical needs. When my body desires, I should find someone to satisfy it, right?”

“You look like a sea lion with your big belly now, it's disgusting. I won't do it even if you beg me.”

Casey had a numb expression and allowed him to insult her at will, but her heart was calm.

People who had long since lost their hearts had no emotions or desires.

Turning around, Lily rashly ran out of the room, pushed her down the stairs and then screamed.

“Uncle, what should I do? It's all my fault!”

Casey frowned in pain, his stomach was like a deflated balloon and blood was gushing out from under her body.

Ethan looked at her with suspicion and was about to go down to help her when he was stopped by Lily.

“Don't go. This woman is good at pretending! If you go down now, she will only become more dependent on you in the future.”

Lily’s casual words ruined her life.

“Uncle, don't forget that it was her brother who killed Lilibeth. Blood debt must be paid with blood. She should pay the price.”

Ethan believed it and ordered his men to help Casey up and make her kneel upright on the ground.

“Are you still pretending? If you don't want to get up, then kneel here and listen to the sounds of me and Lily making love!”

That night, Lily's screams did not stop until the early morning and Ethan seemed to be working harder than usual.
