Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 774

Chapter 774

This was the first time Leia took the initiative to explain her stance.

Ethan was sitting before the tea table brewing tea. “Fire away.”

She looked at the patterns on the teapot. “That year, I lost my way and was sold to the mountains. I had a rough time over there.

“I was fortunate enough to be able to escape from there…”

She glossed over her suffering instead of going into the details. Ethan asked, “How did you escape?”

The information he managed to find was only on the surface. There was no detailed description written.

Still, she didn’t go into the details. “Easy. I planned for it for a long time. I hid a lighter to light up the stored hay. They were poor, so there wasn’t much hay for me to burn. But…”

She paused momentarily before continuing, “Before I burned the hay, I locked that family up in a room, and they burned alive. I walked for a month to get out of the mountains.

“Since I was burned, everyone saw me as a monster. I was lucky enough to bump into a kind person. It took me years. I fixed up my face a lot of times before I was able to look like this.”

“Why didn’t you return home sooner?”

“I was confined and suffered for so many years. I snatched food from the pigs in the sty and slept in the

dog house every single day.

“Had it not been for my young age, I’m afraid I would’ve been taken advantage of.

“They were waiting for me to grow up into an adult so that they could marry me to their silly son.

“Even if I managed to escape from them, I didn’t have a pretty face anymore, not even an ordinary look.

How was I supposed to meet you?

“When I finally-and barely-looked like a human, do you think that I didn’t want to come to you? But what

were you doing at that time? You were busy dating.

“When I approached you, you failed to recognize me. You assumed that I was a woman trying to win your heart and asked someone to drive me out.”

That incident didn’t leave a deep impression on him. After Leia went missing, the Millers spent a lot of money on advertisements to look for her.
