All Chapters of Olivia: Loving You in Ruins: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

The car driven by Alexander and the others sped along the main highway connecting the cities. Trees with falling leaves lined the roadside, the asphalt was cracked, and a sign reading Welcome to Ironwood hung crookedly to greet their arrival.The car driven by Argan sped ahead first; following the route they had planned, they would stop by Sofie’s parents’ house to check on them.A look of worry was evident on Sofie’s face. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and she kept nervously biting her nails. Fear gnawed at her chest. She kept praying silently that her parents were all right.She hadn't even touched her share of the supplies. She wanted to save them and give them to her parents."Turn left, go straight, then left again," she said occasionally, pointing out the direction.Alexander drove while sipping the peach-flavored canned tea they’d bought at the convenience store, furrowing his brow. "Too sweet," he muttered. He didn't really like tea, but his hand had unconsciously reached for i

Olivia and the others’ journey went smoothly from there. They were almost at their villa in the mountains. A thin fog was now beginning to settle over the trees, making the atmosphere seem eerie. Suddenly, the roar of engines could be heard from the intersection. Two pickup trucks came speeding out, cutting them off. They nearly grazed the car Ethan was driving. "Hey, drive carefully!" shouted Valent as he swerved his car to avoid them. However, the trucks deliberately blocked their path. Ethan slammed on the brakes. The first pickup stopped in front of their car, and the second behind it, trapping them. Several people got out of the pickup trucks. Three young men got out first, followed by four burly middle-aged men. One of the middle-aged men had a long, horizontal scar across his face, as if from a sharp object. Their faces looked arrogant, and there was greed in their eyes. "They seem to have evil intentions," Olivia whispered, gripping Ethan's arm. "Get your weapo

"Argan!" Mike shouted, and Alexander rushed over to him. "There's… a very dangerous zombie inside… We… have to get out of here as fast as we can!" Argan whispered warningly. But it was too late. The zombie emerged from the warehouse with heavy, thudding steps. Its body was massive, its bones protruding, and its eyes vacant. But there was something about its movements that was too coordinated. As it let out a long, deep growl, other zombies began to arrive and immediately surrounded them. "Damn," Alexander muttered. "This one seems to be able to control them."Alexander and Mike immediately moved toward the large zombie. Alexander shot a few zombies approaching them, then jumped behind a shelf for cover. Mike and Argan followed him.Three zombies immediately charged Mike from the side, one knocked a small refrigerator shelf toward him."Mike, get down!" Alexander shouted. The shelf slammed onto the floor with a loud crash, sending shards of glass and metal flying everywhere.Mike ro

Alexander carried Olivia to one of the guest rooms in Sofie’s house. He paid no attention at all to the questioning glances from the others as he opened the door.Alexander laid her down on the small bed in the middle of the room. Then he looked closely at the young woman, who was still unconscious, studying her face, which now looked more mature.Her face was dirty and her hair looked disheveled, but that couldn't dim her beauty. She's still as beautiful as ever, he thought. He then stepped out of the room, heading to the kitchen to grab a basin and a small towel. He ran into Mrs. Sarah, who had just taken some plates out of the kitchen."Alex, what happened to that young woman earlier?" Mrs. Sarah asked worriedly."Nothing's wrong, ma'am. She just fainted and sustained a few minor injuries from the zombie attack. I'm going to clean and treat her wounds first. Excuse me, ma'am," Alexander said, walking briskly.The others simply exchanged glances, observing Alexander's behavior, whi
