"I hope everything goes well," Olivia murmured.Olivia stared at her reflection in the mirror with a mixed look of sadness and tension on her face. She was wearing an all-black outfit that made her look elegant, yet with a hint of mystery, plus her long hair was tied up neatly, creating an aura that seemed to hint that there was more than just sadness inside her.Zayden gave a warning of what might be coming."You should be prepared, Oliv," he said in an urgent tone. "When people find out that you, as a member of the Eleazar family, are still alive, there's going to be a huge stir. People will be clamoring for information, and you know, even though this funeral is private, it's still curious because Jonathan is Eleazar's heir."Although the funeral was being held privately, with limited invitations, Olivia could feel the tension in the air. The cunning of the press and their desire for sensationalism made her uneasy. It may have been a very emotional time
"W-what are you, Olivia?" now began to come from Isabell's lips."Yes," Olivia replied, trying her best to hold back the emotions and feelings that were churning inside her."Oh my God!" Olivia was surprised when Isabel lowered her head and cried there. She sobbed even more there without being able to say anything.Darius, who had been frozen in place, walked over to them. He embraced Isabell's body, which was shaking violently as she cried."All this time, we only heard about you and made sure you were safe. We never thought we would have the chance to meet you, son," Darius said, his tears falling there.Olivia felt like she was in a strange and very unfamiliar movie, where everything that happened around her seemed like a far-fetched scenario, but her heart ached deeply, as if something was tearing her apart from the inside.In front of her eyes, two strangers, whom she had thought of as shadows in the past, now stood with tears streaming
"It's true what Zayden said; the news spread very quickly," Olivia murmured when she saw the news that was currently going viral on social media."The recent news circulating among the public about Darius' eldest son, Eleazar, has led to various speculations, especially regarding the figure who was seen accompanying Zayden Sanders during the funeral. Many suspected that the mysterious figure was Mrs. Olivia Sanders, who was previously rumored to have passed away. After some investigation, it was revealed that Mrs. Olivia Sanders is actually the daughter of Darius Eleazar, which is a very surprising fact. If proven true, it would bring a new dimension to the long history of feuds between the Sanders and Eleazar families. The tension between the two parties has been ongoing for decades, and Olivia's presence at this emotional moment raises important questions. Is this tragic moment a trigger for reconciliation between the two families? In this context, the relationship between Bastian S
"Uncle, I want to see Jakson," Ariana said to Lukas."To see Jakson? But Ari and Zayden didn't allow you to meet Jakson. Jakson is different from Jonathan," Lukas said. "Jakson might hurt you, but Jonathan won't; that's why Zayden gave you permission to go back and forth with Jonathan.""I want to see him. There are still things in the past that can't be resolved," Ariana said. "I'll be safe, so let me go see him."Lukas looked confused and then sighed. "Uncle will give permission, after you get permission from your dad or Zayden," Lukas said. "I'm sorry, but Jakson is really a hardened criminal who might harm you, Ari. Once you get permission, Uncle will accompany you to see him; now Uncle will contact Bastian or Zayden to get their permission," Lukas said."Alright, let me ask for their permission," Ariana sighed."Alright then," said Ariana as she moved away from the most terrifying and highly secured detention room for a criminal of Jakson's ca
Olivia stood by the window of her room, gazing at the beautiful night outside, which sparkled with starlight and a bright full moon. Tonight, the atmosphere was so calm, but in her heart, everything felt like a storm that never subsided. She still couldn't believe that she was finally here, hanging out with her biological parents after so many years apart, even though the atmosphere remained a little stiff and awkward, as if every word she wanted to say was stuck in her throat.However, Jonathan's fate haunted her; his departure left a gap no one could fill. Despite their brief encounter, there was an unspoken bond—something stronger than words. They had shared space in the same womb, and it felt like a heavy loss, as if she were losing a part of herself.Now, Jonathan's departure felt like an impenetrable stone wall, leaving a gaping wound and a deep ache in Olivia's heart. She closed her eyes for a moment, wishing she could erase all this sadness and replace it
"Um..... " Olivia opened her eyes and saw Zayden sleeping by her side. She smiled as she observed her husband's handsome face and his peaceful and sound sleep."Is he really tired?" murmured Olivia with a wide smile as she thought about the long night's activities.A night filled with beautiful memories and moments of intimacy that never seemed to end—yes, a night where they both seemed to lose track of time and the world around them. Every second was precious, like the moments where they whispered softly to each other, sharing laughter until it was difficult to distinguish between the sound of laughter and the sound of a heartbeat that blended in with each other's warmth.The burning desire in the heart appears to vanish for a brief period before their presence, which is truly complementary to one another, takes its place. Olivia wanted to make up for the days they were apart, when time seemed to slow down and only longing could fill the void. Now, when she remembered that day, it fe
After everyone was dressed, they decided to have breakfast together on the sofa in the room while enjoying the beautiful view from the window that directly overlooks the Sanders mansion's back garden. The large, luxurious garden was a paradise, with the swimming pool sparkling in the warm morning sun.Around the pool, there were various types of flowers in bloom, emitting a fresh scent that made the atmosphere very pleasant. They chatted intimately while eating breakfast, a menu that looked so tempting. They enjoyed toast topped with fresh fruit jam, a perfectly spiced omelet, and a refreshing glass of orange juice. It was obvious that this simple moment meant so much, in the midst of the natural beauty that spoiled the eyes, making them feel grateful to be able to enjoy togetherness in such a special way. For a brief period, their friendship and laughter seemed to take the place of all their issues and busyness."So today, we're taking Daddy and Mom to Mateus' place?" asked Olivia.T
"I can finally face the person who killed my husband!" Ariana exclaimed, causing Jakson to open his eyes. He was surprised to see Ariana standing in front of him, and behind her, Zayden, with her sharp eyes."Wh-what are you doing here?" asked Jakson, becoming agitated. He started to struggle, but the chains binding him were strong enough to overwhelm him."Am I wasting my time rebelling when I know I can't escape?" Ariana said this as she walked out of the cell. After a few seconds, she returned with a golf club and a whip in her hand."What do you want to do? Why are you carrying that?" asked Jakson apprehensively."Why do you feel scared just by looking at this?" Ariana inquired. "Didn't you arrogantly kill my husband and make Olivia hurt?" Ariana was very annoyed. "Don't tell me you're scared because you saw this.""Zayden Sanders! Please give me a chance; I can definitely be of use to you. Make me your partner; I'll definitely be more useful t
