Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel 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.

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.”
