Chapter 385
Tyler squeezed Olivia’s cheeks. “Why should I?”
Olivia looked up at him, seeing the rage on his face. She was certain he was angry because of her.
Exhausted, she stared at him. “Why must you use me to punish Naomi, Tyler? I don’t want to be a tool.”
Releasing her cheeks, Tyler embraced her.
Still struggling, Olivia insisted, “Let me go!”
He held her tighter, whispering into her ear, “Don’t move.”
His deep voice seemed to penetrate her body, freezing her in place. Her head rested on his shoulder, his
body pressed against her neck, enveloping her entirely.
She was like a ball of lump on his chest.
She was so weak, it seemed she could dissolve into his arms at any moment. Tears streamed down her
face, her pale face akin to melting ice cream under his embrace.

Tyler gripped her head tightly, closing his eyes with a furrowed brow. “What am I supposed to do with you?
Olivia felt weak at his words, as if she might slip away from him at any instant.
What should he do about her? And what should she do about him?
She had no idea–she knew nothing now.
“What’s going to happen with you and Naomi?” she asked.
Tyler gripped her shoulders hearing that, as if he was going to shove her into his heart.
Tyler’s grip on her shoulders tightened, as though he might pull her into his heart.
He knew exactly why Ana kept her close.
Pressing his wrists against her neck, he explained, “I’m keeping my distance because I can’t fall into her trap. You’re the pawn she’s using against me now, manipulating you to stir chaos between Naomi and me, to sway my heart.”
His fingers tangled in her hair, his voice a low murmur near her ear, as if sharing a secret.
To Tyler, it all felt like a cruel game. “What do you expect me to do with you? Ignore everything and be with you, risking falling into her trap? Or should I leave Naomi and make you the scapegoat, the traitor of
our agreement?”
Olivia froze. ‘What did he say? Traitor?‘
Tears welled in her eyes as she contemplated his words.
