Even After Death Novel (Olivia)
Chapter 328

Chapter 328

Ethan and Kurt were cousins, and they looked alike. Kurt had been in love with Marina since they were young, but Ethan was the one Marina liked. So they had been in a love triangle for quite some time.

During one of Marina's birthday parties, Kurt attended, but Ethan didn't. Marina got drunk and thought Kurt was Ethan. She got pregnant after that.

That was one of the happiest times in Kurt's life. He cared for her attentively and was making preparations to marry her.

He once told Ethan that he wanted to leave the life of danger behind him because he wanted to be there for Marina and his child. Ethan agreed to let him go after one last mission.

But fate was cruel to Kurt. He lost his life in the final mission. Before he died, he asked Ethan to take care of Marina in his stead.

Kurt never found out that Marina never loved him. He didn’t know that their one night of passion resulted from her being drunk. She wouldn't have slept with him otherwise. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She even thought about having an abortion after she learned about her pregnancy. But then, she received news of Kurt's passing.

Ethan went to her and pleaded for her to keep the baby. It was Kurt's only descendant. Marina's condition for keeping the baby was for Ethan to marry her.

Marina wasn't arrogant in the beginning. She was uneasy and insecure. She didn’t expect Ethan to agree to her condition. The only catch was she would have to wait for some time.

It was because Olivia was pregnant then. Ethan had started to distance himself from her, but he didn’t want to devastate her with a divorce during her pregnancy. Both of them had been looking forward to this baby.

In the following days, Ethan began to pay less attention to Olivia and started to take care of Marina. He gave Marina whatever she wanted, even at Olivia's expense.

Marina's greed grew as days went by. She even started to make hurting Olivia her personal goal. Ethan turned a blind eye to her actions repeatedly because of his guilt toward Kurt.

Marina began to enjoy everything Ethan provided her with. Her demands became more outrageous. Ethan had tolerated her until this very moment, but Marina was still trying to hold Kurt's death against him.

“The child's origin doesn’t matter. You promised you'd take care of me.” Marina thought about something else. She said, “I know Kurt's last words were not the only reason you married me. You have your considerations, too. You wanted the backing of my father and grandfather.”

Ethan turned to look at her abruptly.

Marina lowered her voice and said, “Others may not know, But I do. I know about your identity. You want to climb to the top

of the ladder.

“But you have a competitor. You want to get more votes than him during the election. And the Carlton family has been around for over a hundred years. Our connections are far greater than yours.”

Ethan didn’t respond. His gaze grew colder.

Marina went on with her monologue obstinately. “Ethan, Olivia can’t help you with anything. Marrying me is the best thing for you. Only I can help with the things you want to accomplish.”

Ethan closed his eyes and said, “Don’t ever tell anyone else what you said. You know you're dead if you expose my identity.”

“I know what I'm doing. I just want you to be better to me,” Marina said softly.

“Marina, I can give you a marriage, money, and status. But you're not worthy of my heart.”

Marina wanted to say something more, but Ethan opened his eyes and looked at her.

“If you weren't the woman Kurt loved, you would already be dead for what you've done to Olivia a thousand times over. Be grateful for your position as Mrs. Miller, and stop dreaming of getting more than you deserve.”
