Chapter 89
A suffocating sensation washed over her.
Vivian Bennett struggled to breathe.
Her brain felt dizzy from lack of oxygen.
"Don't hit me..."
"Daddy, I'll be obedient..."
"Mommy, where are you..."
She was transported back to those unbearable years.
William White's cold expression.
Linda White's hypocritical smile.
Brandon White's arrogant face.
These memories clung to her like shadows.
"You eat the White family's food, you do the White family's work!"
"I, William White, have no daughter like you!"
"You're nothing but our servant!"
"No..."
"Stop!"
Vivian struggled desperately.
Tears blurred her vision.
She couldn't go on like this.
She had to break free from this cage.
She had to escape these nightmares.
She had to become strong.
She had to take control of her own destiny.
She had to survive.
She had to live with dignity.
The warehouse door suddenly burst open.
Blinding sunlight poured in.
"Vivian!"
Liam Sullivan's anxious voice called out.
He quickly spotted the figure in the corner.
Vivian curled on the ground, trembling.
"Vivian!"
Liam rushed forward.
He gathered her into his arms.
Her face was pale as paper.
Her body shook uncontrollably.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He whispered comforting words in her ear.
Vivian raised her tear-filled eyes.
She met his worried gaze.
It was really him?
He came to save her?
"Breathe deeply, take it slow."
Liam keenly felt her distress.
He immediately carried her out of the warehouse.
He comforted her softly throughout the journey.
Fresh air filled her lungs.
Sunlight warmed her skin.
Vivian gradually calmed down.
"I thought... I was going to die."
Her voice choked with emotion.
When she was locked in the storage room before.
No one had ever come to save her.
This was the first time.
Someone had rescued her from the darkness.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Liam's eyes filled with worries.
He regret himself for arriving too late.
He let her get hurt right in the company.
He tightened his arms, holding her securely.
Vivian nestled against his chest.
She finally closed her eyes in peace.
This was her safest harbor.
