ChapterOlivia POVRight now, I was beyond pissed, all thanks to Lucien. Even though I ran after him, it was not about him, it was about how he countered my words back there making them look invalid. I hate stuff like this. Not only does it make me feel vulnerable, it makes my self esteem low. "Olivia." Lucien called for the upthement time but I chose to ignore him all the same. I had my hands wrapped across my chest just like he was doing a while ago with my back against the wall. "I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?" He asked, grabbing my hands which I wriggled out almost immediately. I could see the shock that had clouded his face but I don't give a damn about it. This wasn't about him, it was about my ego he messed with back there at the reception room. Fortunately, this was also an opportunity to ignore him just like he did to me back there making me feel stupid. Lucien's attitude since we saw ourselves today has been so annoying. It's now my turn to give him a t
Olivia I stared at the mirror in front of me as I took in the reflection that stared back at me. It was me obviously, but for some strange reason there seemed to be something else, something else I couldn't quite pinpoint. My eyes shone under the light as I stared deep into the mirror. High cheek bones rose in the air, making my one sided dimple really visible. My ruby colored lips were in a wide grin and from the looks of it, it didn't seem like it would be going anywhere anytime soon. A memory flashed in my head and suddenly, it totally made my sense. I could finally place a pin to my unnatural source of happiness right now; Lucien. Yes, Lucien.I'd always thought he hated me. Hell, he hated everyone and anyone he could lay his eyes on, but after the other night, I wasn't quite sure my previous theory of him could stand the test of time. I let my eyes flutter shut as I recounted the events of the other night, a rush of adrenaline and tingles running down my skin.I'd always hat
Lucien’s POVCould it be? I was falling in love with my sister.No, it can’t be! Father was going to kill me if he found out about something like this. I couldn’t tell what these feelings were but I had to put an end to it once and for all.My door flung open as Lucas stormed in and he looked so enraged.“What’s going on between you and Olivia?” He inquired with a questioning look on his face.I fell silent immediately because I didn’t know what exactly he was insinuating. What did he know? That was such an abrupt question to ask. “Nothing is going on between us? What do you mean? “ I inquired with a plain look plastered on my face.“So you think I’m a fool? Do you think I can’t see everything that’s going on? What do you think you’re doing?” He said walking ahead to me with a very serious look on his face.“Calm down Lucas, you know nothing. We’ve been acting quite cold to her and I wanted to change that. Is there any problem with that?” I inquired with a smile plastered at the co
Olivias POV “Just from my personality, I am not even a type of lady that's Into heels.” I said and we both burst out laughing. “Well, I guess we are words and opposite then: I really love heels and anything that has to do with fashion.” Mia said with a bold smile on the corner of her face. She looked so excited to be having such a conversation with me. I was bored throughout the whole day because there was really nothing for me to do. I had a lot of things on my mind and I was trying my best not to overthink anything that wasn’t necessary. She called me to come into her room as she had something to discuss with me and she had been keeping my company since then. “It’s not like I don’t like it; I just don’t fancy it that much you know? I think I prefer bags. I’m probably a bag type of person.” I said forgoing a smile to my face. I was a little bit bothered even if I was trying my best not to show it. “Which do you prefer? A trip or you prefer to be home?” She said excitedly. “I
FlashbackElinas POV POV“What do you suggest we do?” Tam asked, staring keenly at Me .I kept on Pacing around the room because I was worried and I had all the reasons to be. I knew that there was very little they would be able to do to avoid the attack.I wasn't questioning the capability of her soldiers but then I remembered the dream I had and how they were killed. Left up to her I wanted to avoid the attack if I could because fighting would take them nowhere.My dream had a good impact on the reason I didn't want to go through with it because I had a bad feeling about it. I knew I wasn't supposed to be paying that much attention to a dream but someone made her feel uneasy.It’s been a while since I had the dream but having an attack now would be like the dream coming true. It was like I was messing with her and at this point I was so restless that the only thing I could think of doing was breathing in and out.Tam stared at her wondering what i was thinking about and if i didn’
Flashback Luciens POVThe bright morning sun shone directly at my eyes as I tried my beast to avoid it but to no avail.I finally opened my eyes lazily and looked around. Everything looked so familiar.I was back in my room, how?I still maintained my position as I tried to remember how I got there. I tried recollecting how yesterday night went and I didn’t remember walking back into my room.Who brought me here? I wonderedI didn’t want Laura to know I drank that much because I knew she would not be happy about that. I was finally sober but nothing could make me forget how drunk I was yesterday night.I felt my whole world was spinning and I had so many problems to take care of. It all felt so good for a short while just that I wasn’t able to remember anything I seemed to be doing.Who brought me here? Or did I come back myself?I looked around gently and nothing felt awkward and I was still putting on my shirt.I still felt so lazy and tired that I didn’t want to get up from the be
**Flashback**Marcus’s POV“I’m sorry Marcus, I won’t do that again.” She stammered, moving away from me but I dragged her back forcefully and pinned her against the wall.“Do you think you can talk to me now you want and then get away with it?” I said angrily, staring at her with my face full of rage.“I’m sorry it won’t happen again. I don’t know what came over me, please pardon me for this mistake.” She begged with tears flowing freely from her eyes.Her tears had little single effect on me because it wasn’t going to stop me from disciplining her. What made her think she can try to walk out on me and disrespect me?Who does she think she is?But now I am going to make sure I teach her a good lesson so next time she will learn to think twice before doing something like that.“Please… please don’t hurt me.” She said, struggling to break free from my tight grip.There was no way I would be letting her go no matter what she did to beg me.“Stay still.” I said landing a very loud slap o
Chapter Olivia’s POV*Back to the present *I watched in shock as Lucien stormed into the garden. Lucas and I repelled away from each other like we were like similar poles of a magnet. His face that was usually so warm and caring, was now twisted with anger and betrayal. He walked right past me without saying a single word, his eyes were fixed on Lucas, who was still standing near me. It was a tense silence that hung in the air. I had no idea what to do, or what to say.Without giving any form of warning, Lucien lashed out, landing a brutal blow on Lucas's face. The sound of the impact echoed through the garden, and I gasped in horror. My hands flew to my mouth, covering the hollow form that it had just made. I was shocked and scared at the same time. I had no idea what to do, whether to stop them, or to leave them be. Lucien's voice trembled with anger as he cursed Lucas for what he saw as a betrayal. "You thought you were smart, didn't you? Trying to deceive me, thinking you coul
