Chapter 5 - Olivia Bennett Reveals The Truth Behind The Silent Departure

Olivia touched Ethan’s face with trembling fingers, tracing the sharp line of his jawline that she had memorized years ago.
“You shouldn't have left your wedding, Ethan,” Olivia whispered softly, a bittersweet smile touching her dry, pale lips.
“She threatened to destroy everything you worked for... she showed me signed corporate affidavits that would have ruined your life,” Olivia explained.
“I took her money because I needed medical insurance for Lucy, but I never spent a single dollar on myself... it was all saved for our daughter.”
Lucy walked over, leaning against her father’s shoulder while wrapping her small arms gently around her mother’s resting frame.
Ethan looked at the woman he had loved with every fiber of his being, realizing the incredible, silent sacrifice she had made to protect him.
“I don't care about the money, Liv. I don't care about Victoria or her family’s empire,” Ethan declared with absolute, unwavering resolve.
“I am going to get you the best specialists in the country. We are going to fix this, and we are going to be a real family.”
