Chapter Forty-oneSeeing A GhostOliviaI was confused, I pinched myself multiple times, to be sure I wasn’t dreaming and this wasn’t some sort of nightmare. I was totally confused, wondering if I was just seeing things because I really wanted to bring her to the party like I had promised, or this was really real.I kept my eyes fixed on her, and she didn’t flinch, she didn’t move, she kept her eyes fixed on me too.I was so lost in thought, that I had forgotten that I had stopped for minutes through the dance.Sebastian grabbed my hand, raising his eyebrows, “are you okay?” He asked. He didn’t stop, he kept on moving and swaying to the rhythm of the song, pulling me along with him.I looked at the position I saw her, and she was still there, staring at me like she was looking through me, like she could see through me with her gazing eyes. I looked back at Sebastian, wondering if I should let him know what was going on, I didn’t know if I should just show him. The woman we all though

Chapter Forty-threeSophia, SelenaSebastianWe made sure each and everyone of the guess had left before we headed back to the court.As we walked, I couldn’t help but wonder what Olivia might be thinking, I wished there was a way I could get in her mind and find out what she was planning, and how she intend to bring Sophia to the kids party.Everyone know Sophia was dead, they knew she had been dead for years, I was confused of why Olivia would make such promise in the first place, it could only mean one thing. It could only mean that she knew something, she was aware of something she should never have known, and now she was going to use that to fulfill her promise.Whatever she would know about Sophia would only have a bad effect on me, it would only destroy me and everything I had built for years. The mystery behind Sophia’s death, what really happened that night, I must not let anyone know about it. It was a secret I had kept to myself for years, a secret I didn’t want anyone to k

Chapter Forty-sixThe New JobOliviaI was bewildered. What was she saying? What was she talking about? It was the first time I'd seen her, and I didn't know where she'd heard such things. My marriage to Sebastian had been forced upon me, not something I'd desired. Yet now, she was accusing me of snatching her sister's husband? It was difficult to comprehend."I do not seem to understand, Selena," I murmured, my voice low."Of course, you wouldn't understand," she snapped. "You took my sister's place in this family, and now you want to erase her memory for life? What do you think you are doing when you promised the kids that you will bring their mom to their party?" She yelled.I glanced around anxiously, hoping no one would hear her shouting and come to investigate. That would deny me the chance to request her help with the predicament I now found myself in."You want to pretend to be their mom so you can force yourself into their lives and force their mother out, right? Isn't that w

Chapter Forty-eightThe QuestionOlivia“This is the perfect dress for you.” The attendant said to me with a big smile on her face.I looked at the dress in the mirror again, it fit perfectly and it was just as if the dress was made just for me. I had been trying out different dresses and clothes for some minutes now, but this one fit just perfectly.I turned back to the attendant with a big smile on my face, “I’ll like to show this to him.” I stated.She nodded, “of course ma’am, as you wish.”With that, I headed out of the dressing room to go show Sebastian how I looked like. I could still remember what he said to me and how he had made me understand that I could never take the place of his late wife in his life, and I wasn’t even ready to do that, but I just wanted to make my own place.I wanted him to see me for who I was, to see my intentions and not just see the one who wants to take his wife’s place.I got to the waiting room to meet no one, Sebastian was nowhere to be found.

Chapter FiftyA Brief Moment Olivia“W..what do you mean?” I stuttered.I understood what he meant, and what he wanted, but I wasn’t sure of the reason I wanted him to say it, to be straight with his words.“You know what I mean, Olivia.” He murmured, his hand grabbing mine as he pulled the sash of the robe from my hands. “You know what I want.” He continued.I shook my head, still wanting him to come straight and tell me the exact thing he wanted. Even though he tells me what he want, would I allow him? Would I give him the chance to? Even after what I saw earlier that day? Was I supposed to let him have his way with me?But do I really have a choice? Even if I wanted to turn him down, do I have the courage to do that? His touch, his smell, his presence, everything clouded my mind that I was unable to move or say any more word.I could only watch as he pulled the sash down my shoulders, a seductive grin on his face as he completely pulled it down my body, making me step out of it.I
