"Ugh!" Olivia winced as she experienced dizziness, specifically in the back of her head, a sensation that caused excruciating pain. She opened her eyes and looked around the room, which was quite dark. Duct tape covered her lips and bound her hands. She looked around the room, which was dirty, dusty, and full of debris from broken and unused items.
'God, my leg hurts so much,' Olivia thought as she tried to move it, which felt very painful and aching.
Check!
The door to the room opened, and Olivia fixed her gaze on the figure who had just entered.
'Uncle Jacki?" Olivia thought.
"Well, it turns out the future Mrs. Sanders is awake," Jacki said, walking over to Olivia, who had risen from her position.
Olivia stared at Jacki without any fear. The 37-year-old man squatted in front of Olivia and pulled the duct tape that covered her mouth.
"Shh... !" Olivia winced as she felt the sting at the corner of her lips.
How does betrayal fe
Olivia's mind was still trying to untie her hands, urging her to open up. Blood continued to pour from her hands."What are you waiting for? Quick, stab the other leg," Jacki said, laughing happily. "Isn't this so much fun? I can beat Zayden Sanders." Jacki laughed happily as Olivia's hands slipped away. Olivia slashed Jacki's hand with the broken glass in her hand, causing Jacki to spontaneously drop the knife and pull her hand away with a groan."You fucking bitch!" Before Jacki could attack Olivia, the woman turned around and kicked Jacki's bird with all her might, making her groan in pain."Ah, my leg!" moaned Olivia as she kicked with her broken leg.Jacki wanted to attack Olivia again, but she was stunned when a kick landed on her face and sent her stumbling backwards.Olivia saw Zayden moving towards Jacki, inching away. She could see that Zayden's look was terrifying, like that of a black jaguar with sharp eyes that glowed gold and showed l
"How are you?" asked Zayden, approaching Olivia in her room."It's better. Can I go home now?" asked Olivia."You can't; you have to fully recover, then you can go out," Zayden said firmly."But you cheated so much, you went out first, leaving me behind," Olivia protested."I'm still here. Who left you?" asked Zayden."I'm leaving today," Olivia pleaded."Look at your leg; it's still in a cast. You're still limping; you're trying to get out of the hospital," Zayden quipped, making Olivia snort in annoyance."Come on, I want to get out of here. Don't imprison me here," Olivia whined.Zayden raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you feel like you're in prison?" "Prison isn't this comfortable.""I want to get out of here, Zayd. Come on," Olivia coaxed."You can't," Zayden said firmly.Olivia sighed. It was useless to persuade Zayden; she was still firm with her stance."Alright, one
"Oliv, if you see this recording, it means that Grandpa is no longer in this world. I'm sorry, son, for leaving you. I promised that I would always be with you and take care of you until you found someone who could make you happy. Oliv, actually, I have something to tell you about your identity and your family. Lukas Abner and Cecilia Abner, who you know as your parents, are not your biological parents. To be more precise, they are also your adoptive parents. Actually, your biological parents are still alive, Oliv." "24 years ago, when your mother gave birth to you, she asked me and Holland, who were working as her bodyguards at the time, to take you away. Not without reason, your mother, Isabella Eleazar, asked us to take you away, all for your safety from your own grandfather. Olivia, Grandfather did not ask you to find your real father; if you are already happy with Mr. Zayden, stay by his side. Don't try to find
"Do you have to be so cruel to us, Oliv?" screeched Mery in front of Olivia."I'm cruel? Really? You all even harmed me to kill me? Am I wrong?" asked Olivia, folding her arms across her chest."To you, Aunt Diana and Uncle Wilson, I didn't expect you to be that bad and sacrifice your own child. How unfortunate Queen's fate is; even until now, she is still unconscious," Olivia sighed."I've decided you don't need to come to the company anymore; you're fired!" "Wh-what? a... I got fired?" Wilson looked deathly pale there."Oliv, please don't do that!" Diana immediately sat down in front of Olivia, full of pleading and tears that broke out."How will we continue living if Wilson is fired? Not to mention Queen's hospital fees. Please forgive our mistake. This time, we will never betray you again, Oliv. Believe me," Diana said pleadingly."Auntie, don't worry; I won't let go of Queen'
"Oh my God," Olivia complained, resting her forehead on the edge of the table."Are you okay, Miss?" asked Ivy, who was Olivia's personal bodyguard sent by Zayden."I don't know, Ivy. It's not that easy to win the trust of the shareholders," Olivia sighed."Maybe it's because you're appearing in front of them for the first time. Sorry, I'm not being presumptuous, but shouldn't you show the person behind you?" Ivy said."What do you mean, Ivy?" asked Olivia."I mean, don't you have Mr. Zayden and the Sanders family behind you? Why don't you use that to gain the trust of the shareholders?" Ivy suggested."You're right, Ivy. But I don't want to take advantage of Zayden anymore." Olivia was silent for a moment. "He's helped me too much, even to the point of sacrificing himself." Olivia remembers when Zayden thrust the knife into her thigh, and Olivia is sure that it hurt a lot.
Olivia didn't sleep at all that night; she was pensive, thinking about her fate, which seemed to have no purpose."No one expected me; the only person who expected me was Grandpa, but now even Grandpa has left me alone," she murmured, hugging her knees to her body on the bed.Hearing Holand's explanation, her heart ached. It turned out that even in the womb, she had not been expected. Why was life so cruel that she felt it was unfair? No one wanted to be born a girl or a boy, but they considered girls useless and worth killing."Why?" she mumbled, crying there in pain.Outside Olivia's door, Ivy stood up. She was about to knock on the woman's door to ask if Olivia needed anything. But her movement stopped in mid-air when she heard a sob coming from inside the room. Ivy was still standing in front of the door, feeling uneasy. Finally, she decided against going to see Olivia and chose to stay away from the room.Ivy's cell phone rang, and
"So, what would you like to discuss?" inquired Zayden, who was sitting on his haunches and appeared arrogant as usual.Olivia was still in her place, looking at Zayden in front of her. 'Yes, there's no harm in trusting this man. As cruel as he is, he has never hurt an innocent person. Zayden still has a conscience compared to my own parents. I don't know how many secrets Zayden has hidden in his life,' Olivia thought."You called me here, not just to look at me, right?" asked Zayden, raising one eyebrow."Of course not," Olivia replied."Then what do you want to say?" asked Zayden. "If you keep quiet, I can get someone to go to Holand and ask him directly.""Tsk, what an anarchist," Olivia complained."Then tell me; I've been talking to you all along, Babon. Or, do you want to provoke me again with a kiss?" asked Zayden.Instantly, Oliv's face turned red, and her heart beat fast. "N-no," Oliv replied quickly."Then say it
"Sir, are you all right?" asked Clif, helping Zayden up from his position. "I'm sorry, I have to do this for your safety."Zayden now stood beside Clif, staring at the huge flames in front of him. He had reddened eyes and was staring very intently."Kill them all without a trace!" Zayden's order sounded extremely sinister. Clif couldn't say anything else when he saw the terrifying, dark aura that enveloped Zayden's body.Clif gave the code to the car that had been following Zayden and Clif. They were Zayden's men, and having received the code from Clif, they understood what he meant and immediately drove away.Blood dripped onto the asphalt from Zayden's tightly clenched hand. Clif looked at Zayden's back, who was still standing in place. 'Why? Why does it have to be like this, Oliv?' Zayden thought, staring at the flames. His eyes were red with tears, and there was a glassy bias in his e
