Chapter 54: Snakes in the Pit

(Olivia’s POV)

(Earlier today–memory)

When I woke up earlier, I asked Matriarch Evelyn to help me investigate about the attack.

She told me that she had already investigated that matter.

Evidence showed that the contact number was indeed mine, but it was proven to have been hacked at the time of the incident. I had a solid alibi at that time. I was at Canis Enterprises that entire day, surrounded by

witnesses.

With this evidence, I could prove my innocence to Ethan.

But Bernard didn’t find anything linking Victoria to the attacker. No transaction records, no prior connection, no secret meetings.

So although I could clear my name, but couldn’t expose Victoria’s scheme.

So I rejected Matriarch Evelyn’s suggestion to present this evidence to Ethan. His apology means nothing to

me now.

Ethan’s heart holds no place for me. Even with proof, he would still doubt me. In his eyes, there were only

three people present at that scene who else could it be but me?

Matriarch Evelyn studied me, misunderstanding my refusal. “Liv, are you just going to let this go? Out of love

and forgiveness?”

I met her gaze, my voice hardening. “No!”

(Back to now)

The car pulled up to Matriarch Evelyn’s Villa, its tires crunching on the gravel driveway. Victoria sat across

from me, her eyes burning with hatred above the dirty gag.

I stepped out first, standing tall despite my weakened state. The bodyguards dragged Victoria from the vehicle and threw her roughly to the ground.

She landed hard on her knees, her muffled curses escaping around the edges of the gag. Her perfectly styled

hair was now disheveled, her designer clothes smeared with dirt.

I gave her a cold glance, then signaled to the bodyguards. “Take her inside.”

As they hauled Victoria to her feet, I turned and walked toward the villa’s entrance. Behind me, I heard the

sounds of struggle as Victoria fought against her captors.

Her shoes came off as they dragged her, her stockinged feet scraping against the rough ground. Small bloody trails marked her path as the stones cut through the delicate fabric.

When we reached the basement entrance, Victoria’s eyes widened with realization. She knew exactly what I had planned.

bodyguards held her firmly between them as I approached,

I nodded, and one of them removed her gag.

“You b***h–Victoria began, but I cut her off with a sharp slap across her face.

The sound echoed in the empty space. A trickle of blood appeared at the corner of her mouth where my ring

had caught her lip.

Victoria’s eyes widened in shock, then narrowed with fury. But she swallowed whatever insult she’d been

about to hurl.

What

I laughed, the sound hollow and cold in the stone chamber. “You’re asking me about rights? How

“Justification?” I echoed, circling her slowly. “Do I need one? Did you need justification to frame me for

Emma’s attack?”

I knew I lacked.concrete evidence against Victoria. Clearing my name only implied she staged the attack

herself. But Ethan’s love for her would blind him to any evidence; her tears would soften his heart.

“Ethan will never believe you,” Victoria spat, as if reading my thoughts. “He loves me, not you.”

“I hold no expectations from him anymore,” I replied coldly. “But you, Victoria–you were emboldened by his

favor. You dared to frame me, which led to my confinement and torment.”

Victoria’s lips curved into a smug smile. “And I’d do it again.”

I stepped closer, my voice dropping to a whisper. “I won’t forget what Ethan did. But you, Victoria–you will pay for what you did. Even if I can’t avenge Lily immediately, I won’t suffer last night’s humiliation in silence.”

Victoria’s eyes flashed with defiance. “You’ll regret this, Olivia. When Ethan finds out-

“When Ethan finds out what?” I interrupted. “That I treated you exactly as he treated me? Go ahead, call his

name. See what good it does you.”

Victoria straightened, her chin lifting. “Ethan will destroy you for this.”

I scoffed, gesturing around the basement. “Let him try. For now, let’s see what he can do for you.”

I nodded to the bodyguards. “Throw her in.”

They released her arms and shoved her forward. Victoria stumbled, falling hard onto the stone floor.

She winced in pain, her face contorting. When she looked up at me, her eyes blazed with hatred.

Victoria glanced around the basement, a smirk förming on her lips. She clearly thought this confinement was laughable compared to what she’d expected.

I could read her thoughts in her defiant gaze. She wasn’t afraid of the dark. If Emma couldn’t find her, she would call Ethan, who would rescue her. Then, she would make me pay dearly.

“What are you thinking about?” I asked, my voice deceptively gentle. “That this basement isn’t so bad? That Ethan will come for you soon?”

Victoria said nothing, but her smug expression confirmed my suspicions.

“Tell me, Victoria,” I continued, “are you still afraid of snakes?”

The change in her expression was immediate. The smugness vanished, replaced by a flicker of fear she

couldn’t quite hide.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said, but her voice had lost its confident edge.

I smiled and signaled to one of the bodyguards. He disappeared briefly, returning with a covered cage.

Even from where I stood, I could hear the soft hissing sounds emanating from within.

Victoria’s face drained of color. She retreated until her back hit the wall.

“You wouldn’t dare,” she whispered, staring at the cage with undisguised terror

“Wouldn’t I?” I asked softly. “After what you did to me? After what you did to my daughter?”

Victoria’s composure shattered completely. “If you do this, Ethan will kill you!”

I approached the cage, unfazed by her threats. “Let him try.”

With deliberate slowness, I removed the cover from the cage, revealing the snakes inside. Three vipers coiled

within, their scales gleaming in the dim light.

I stared at them impassively. Once, I would have been terrified of these creatures. But my time in the

orphanage had cured me of that particular phobia.

Victoria screamed, the sound bouncing off the stone walls. She pressed herself harder against the wall, as if

trying to melt into it.

“Not afraid, are you?” I taunted, reaching for a pair of thick gloves that lay beside the cage.

“Please,” Victoria begged, her voice breaking. “Please, Olivia. I’ll keep silent about this. I promise!”

I ignored her pleas, pulling on the gloves with methodical precision. “You know, Victoria, I spent hours in that basement last night. Hours in the dark, surrounded by rats, my worst fear.”

Victoria’s eyes darted frantically between me and the cage. “I’ll give you money. Anything you want!”

“I don’t want your money,” I said coldly. “I want you to understand what it feels like to be trapped with the thing you fear most.”

I reached into the cage and calmly picked up one of the snakes. Its body writhed in my grasp, but I held it

firmly.

Without warning, I threw it at Victoria.

Her scream was primal, ripping from her throat as the snake landed on her shoulder. With her hands tied. behind her back, she could only writhe and thrash, trying to dislodge the creature.

My eyes turned cold as I remembered the torment from the previous night, convinced Victoria was behind it.

“You did this to me,” I said, my voice hardening. “You put me in that basement. You knew my fears”

I reached for another snake, its scales smooth against the leather of my gloves.

“Please!” Victoria sobbed, tears streaming down her face. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

I threw the second snake. It landed at her feet, causing her to kick wildly in panic.

“No amount of apologies can undo what you’ve done,” I said. “To me. To Lily.”

Chapter 54 Snakes

Victoria’s screams grew louder as the snake began to slither up her leg. Her face was contorted in terror, her eyes wild with panic.

I watched dispassionately as she thrashed against her bonds, desperate to escape the creatures that now surrounded her.

The third snake joined its companions, landing directly in Victoria’s lap. Her screams reached a new pitch, raw and desperate.

I stepped back, signaling to the bodyguards. “Close the door. Leave her with her new friends.”

The heavy door began to swing shut, Victoria’s pleas growing more frantic with each passing second.

“Olivia!” she screamed. “Don’t leave me here! Please!”

I watched her through the narrowing gap, feeling nothing but cold satisfaction. The woman who had tormented me for years was finally experiencing a fraction of the fear she had inflicted.

Just as the door was about to close completely, a powerful voice echoed down the corridor.

“OLIVIA! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!”

Ethan stood at the end of the hallway, his face contorted with rage. His amber eyes blazed with fury strode toward us.

y as he

Victoria, seeing her rescuer, momentarily forgot her fear. She glared at me through the gap in the door, mouthing “You’re dead” before crying out to Ethan.

“Ethan! Help me! There are snakes!”

I met her gaze steadily, then signaled to the bodyguards. “Close it.”

The door slammed shut with finality, cutting off Victoria’s screams.

I turned to face Ethan, unafraid of his anger. His eyes burned into mine as he closed the distance between us.

“You dare?” he growled, his voice vibrating with fury.

I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze unflinchingly. “I dare.”

Ethan’s control snapped. He grabbed my wrist, yanking me away from the door with such force that pain shot

up my arm.

He threw me against the wall, his face twisted with rage. Still weakened from my ordeal, I stumbled, nearly

falling.

The bodyguards moved quickly, catching me before I hit the ground. They positioned themselves between Ethan and me, their massive forms creating a protective barrier.

Ethan ignored them, moving toward the basement door. His intent was clear–he would kick it down if necessary to free Victoria.

Watching him, seeing his desperate concern for Victoria when he had shown me none, I felt something inside

me grow colder.

“If you release her,” I warned, my voice steady despite my racing heart, “I’ll do twice as much to her next time.” Ethan turned to me, his eyes narrowed to dangerous slits. “No one will dare touch Victoria again. I’ll make
