Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 5

Olivia lifted her hand to wipe the blood off the corner of her lips with her sleeve. Then, she stumbled to the bathtub and turned on the faucet. She did not care whether the water was hot. She simply got in and sat.

The man who had sworn to love her forever in front of a priest had changed.

He changed two years ago, but she only realized it now. It was as if her reaction times had been slowed down.

He had imprisoned her. It seemed like he was hiding his mistress in his house, but in reality, he was doing this to torture her.

Who was Olivia to John?

Was she his lawfully wedded wife, or was she a toy for him to vent his frustrations out on?

The water finally warmed up, and her icy body eventually warmed up too.

She submerged her head under the water and closed her eyes. She imagined John choking her, and immediately, she felt suffocated. She emerged from the water in a panic. She only calmed herself down after taking a few deep breaths.

She could not die yet. She had not found her brother yet.

Olivia got out of the bathtub and changed into some new clothes. Then, she walked to the door to try the lock again.

She still could not open it.

She walked to the window. After pushing it, she realized it had also been locked.

It seemed that John had decided to lock her in this room.

She wanted to find a phone to call John so they could talk. She did not care about the result.

However, after looking around, she remembered she had dropped her phone in John’s car.

This villa used to be lively. However, this place has become quiet since John’s change.

There always used to be people cooking, but now, the kitchen was empty.

Currently, the villa was pitch black, and Olivia was all alone.

She was hungry and tired. Hence, she got into bed and fell asleep dizzily.

It started pouring outside in the middle of the night.

A flash of lightning tore through the dark night sky, and a clap of thunder could be heard.

Olivia sat up from the bed and looked outside, holding her blanket fearfully.

The windows rattled from the strong wind, while the swaying branches cast dark and swaying shadows that looked like peeping toms were outside the window.

The strong winds bellowed like a murmuring demon.

Olivia was scared of rainy nights, and she was especially scared of rainy nights with thunderstorms.

She curled into a ball under her blanket. Her body shook uncontrollably as tears welled up in her eyes.

This was the weather on the night she was kidnapped when she was ten.

Thus, whenever it rained at night, she would remember that person in a raincoat waving at her sinisterly under the streetlight.

When she got nearer, a flash of lightning had illuminated their face. She could still remember his piercing red eyes, the scar on his face, and his wretched and perverted cackle.

She heard another clap of thunder.

Olivia covered her ears in fear and hid under her blanket. She murmured with a shaky sob, “Johnny, where are you? I’m scared.

“Johnny…”

Only the mournful sound of the wind answered her, making the initially scary atmosphere even more terrifying.

The man who would hold her during nights with thunderstorms and use his warm hands to cover her ears to comfort her was no longer here.

Olivia did not know if she was scared of the memory of the thunderstorm from when she was ten, or if she was sad because she had thought about John. At that moment, her face was drenched with tears.

‘Johnny, we can’t go back to how it used to be.’

The hospital.

Johnny had tucked Dorothy in bed. However, she jolted awake once more when she heard the clap of thunder.

She tugged John’s sleeve as she sobbed. “Johnny, can you stay here with me? I’m scared.”
