It was the day before the New Year, and the Knights were hard at work preparing for the New Year’s Eve party. After a few hours of work, they decided to take a break. While everyone was sitting on the couch munching on snacks, Olivia was sitting on the porch in the garden area, lost in her own thoughts. “Why are you causing yourself and Caleb pain, Olivia?” Eliana came to sit with her. “What do you mean?” Olivia asked her godmother. “Look at this picture.” Eliana showed her the photo of whose story she had told Caleb about. “Is this...” “Yes, it’s you and Caleb.” She narrated the same story to Olivia that she had told her son a few days ago. “Olivia, this is life. Ups and downs are part and parcel of it, but you shouldn't stop living it because you are scared of taking risks.” “I don't want to burden Caleb with my problems, Eliana. Maybe I am not right for him.” “That's Caleb's decision to make, don't you think? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and you will have all your an

“Caleb, will you do it faster? For once in life, put your muscles to some good use.” Olivia shouted at him angrily while walking behind him with a huge cardboard box in her hand. “I am trying, Olivia. Boxes are apparently not that light. Little help from you would be very nice.” He glared at her. “Remind me again why did I agree with your idea of living together?” She crossed her arm. “Because it is easier to stay with each other as we will be going to the same college.” He rolled his eyes. “Just for convenience, right? Take this box also with you.” With that, Olivia placed the same box filled with their belongings above the box that Caleb was already carrying. “Oomph!! Really Livy. Aren’t you bossy?” He told her, still carried both the boxes and kept them safely near the couch of their new home. Olivia only shrugged at his response. “I already told you that old Olivia is difficult to handle.” “But I love her all the same.” He winked at her. “Don’t you now?” She came closer to

Olivia stood dead on her feet. Her entire world has been ripped away from her. She is aware that she should be relieved that she will no longer be tortured, but why is she unable to do so? Is it true that physical pain is more tolerable than mental pain? She has been hurt; both in physical and mental ways. It was not difficult to conclude that she is at present mentally unstable. This very thought made her laugh in her mind. When has she ever been stable to begin with? She has been suffering from the past two for almost three years. As a result, her life is already a living hell, and the incident that occurred today was just icing on the cake. She can’t say that what she is feeling today is anything new. She had already experienced these feelings three years ago. And it has only gotten worse over time if that was even possible. She isn’t sure whether she should be happy or sad. Finally, she would be able to leave this place for good. The place which has given her a lot of bad and

The interior of the house is just as lovely as the exterior. The house is massive, with two floors. The interiors are well-designed. Olivia would have paid more attention to the interiors if she had been in better shape. But she was too preoccupied with the various thoughts racing through her mind, so she couldn’t comprehend much in front of her. Yes, she was awestruck here and there, but a flashback to her past life would send her back into depression mode. “This is Caleb, my son, Livy.” When Eliana spoke, she was jolted back into the present. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t notice him standing right in front of her. Caleb, Eliana’s son, was just standing there looking at her. She felt small and insecure as he studied her intently as if she were some kind of research project. Eliana had already told her in the car that her son is the same age as hers and that she would be attending the same school as him. He is one of the most attractive men Olivia has ever se

After long hours of sleep, Olivia finally woke up at eight in the morning and went down. She walked into the kitchen and saw everyone munching on their breakfast on the chair in front of the table. This sight almost made her smile, but it didn’t last long because she suddenly had a flashback to her life four years ago. They were a happy family back then. Her mother would always prepare delicious meals for them, and her father would always assist her mother in the kitchen. Until then, she and Ja... Uh, they used to laugh or fight until their parents served the food, and they spent their time together like any other happy family. Olivia didn’t want to disturb their family moment, so she took a left and was about to return to her new room when Eliana called her name. The universe, as usual, has other plans for her. “Livy, good morning. Take a seat and join us for breakfast.” She didn’t want to, but she knew she needed to eat something because she had eaten nothing for three days. Ol

Olivia went downstairs, where Caleb was waiting because it was already seven o'clock. She knows he hates her more than ever now that she agreed to go to this party with him, but only if he knows it's not true. “Are you going to the party wearing this?” Caleb cocked his brow. Olivia examined her clothing and found nothing wrong with it. She was dressed in black jeans and a hoodie. She knows it’s not appropriate attire for a party, but she’s not going to one anyway, so it doesn’t matter. “Uh, yeah,” She said quietly. “Okay. Whatever! I just wanted to let you know that I will not be your babysitter for the entire night.” He growled. This made her flinch, but she still nodded politely. They drove for fifteen minutes in silence until she told him to pull over. “What?” He asked, perplexed. “I told you to stop the car,” Olivia said again. Caleb stopped the car, and she got out of it. “I know you don’t like me, and I don’t even expect you to, and I would definitely not ruin your night

“Livy, Livy.” Olivia heard someone call her name and shaking her a little. “Livy honey, get up.” A female voice said. Olivia opened her eyes slowly and saw two figures towering over her. It was a little dizzy at first, but after a few seconds, the picture became clearer. She slowly rose from the bench that had served as her bed the night before and noticed Eliana and William kneeling in front of her. “Good Gracious! You finally woke up, Olivia.” Eliana exclaimed. “Why were you sleeping here, Livy?” William inquired, a worried expression on his face. Because your son assumed I was already in bed and locked the door without even checking on me. Not that it was my fault, but I was severely beaten up by a stranger who could have been a rapist yesterday. “I woke up early, so I came here to take a breath of fresh air. But I guess I drifted off to sleep.” She said quietly. She shrugged in order to appear casual and convincing. “All right!” William was still suspicious, but he accepted

Olivia was delighted today. Not because she was beaten up, but because she met Cameron the day before. His innocent expression always makes her smile. Of course, she cannot support him, but she can be a better and stronger person for him. He is the only person she has left who is of her own blood. She went downstairs and sat with the Knights' family with great enthusiasm. “You look happy now, and you have done a good job hiding your bruise,” Eliana said. “Yes, I suppose you are correct. I feel better now, and I don't want people to know how clumsy I am.” She told her this while nervously laughing. “Are you going somewhere?” William inquired. “Uh, yeah, I am just going for a walk or something. To get some fresh air.” Olivia tried to reason. She didn't want to tell them the truth. “Well, that will be good for you,” William said, smiling. “I hope so.” She quickly ate some toast and drank some orange juice before leaving. She does not want them to question her about her eating habit
