Everly pulled back from Ivan's grip and walked toward the bed. No matter how many times Ivan suggested that they should just kill Sokolov, she refused, and her answer was always no.
Ivan followed her, grabbing her shoulders. "Everly, killing Sokolov is the only way he will leave you alone. It would also be your way of avenging your parents. Don't you want to live normally without having to worry about people like him? Don't you want to just go out and enjoy your day without getting almost killed or kidnapped?"
Everly stopped, turned around to face him, and nodded. "Yes, Ivan. I don't like that he's after me, and I also want to live a normal life, but I don't want my revenge to be like this, not this simple. I told you last time, I want it to be slow and painful, right?"
Ivan sighed. "If that's the case, then how do you plan on making it that way? Remember that this is Sokolov we're dealing with."
