Shaking her head, Olivia continued to beg. "Ethan, I—"

With one hand carrying the child, Ethan wiped her tears with his other hand. "Liv, with every plea you make, I'll add one more hole to his body. Do you want to test me?"

Olivia instantly shut up. This perverse man was capable of anything at all.

She could only let her tears fall in silence. Ethan whispered, "The more tears you shed for his sake, the more he will bleed later."

Olivia felt like a heavy boulder was weighing upon her heart.
