Olive packed her belongings in silence, her small apartment growing eerily quiet as the evening deepened. Her heart ached with every item she placed into the suitcase; this had been her refuge, her sanctuary during trying times. Now, she was being uprooted, thrust into a life she didn’t want but couldn’t escape.

A sharp knock at the door startled her. Was the driver here already? She glanced out the window and saw the black car pulling up, the driver only just stepping out.

Her stomach knotted as she approached the door. Another knock sounded, more insistent this time. Olive hesitated before unlocking it and pulling it open, her eyes darting into the dimly lit hallway.

No one was there.

Her breath hitched. The corridor was empty, save for the faint shuffle of the driver approaching the building. She leaned out slightly, her gaze scanning the shadows.

“Did you knock just now?” she asked as the driver reached her door, his expression neutral.

He shook his head. “No, Miss Olive. I only j

    “Sir Raymond, Miss Olive has arrived at the mansion safely,” the housekeeper’s voice came through the phone. “She’s settled in and well taken care of.”“Good,” Raymond replied, his tone brisk. “Make sure everything she needs is provided.”The call ended, but Raymond’s mind lingered on Olive. He leaned back in his chair, his office dimly lit except for the desk lamp that illuminated the mountain of paperwork in front of him.Despite his focus on work, her face kept slipping into his thoughts. He smirked, recalling the doctor’s earlier words:"You need to engage her in sexual activities to strengthen her pelvic walls for the child."Raymond shook his head, chuckling softly to himself. The idea amused him, but it also planted a dangerous thought in his mind.With a sigh, he pushed Olive out of his head and returned to the matter at hand. His phone buzzed on the desk, pulling him away from his work.It was a text message from Olive:"Please, I need the documents of your real surrogate mo

    Olive jolted awake, her scream still ringing in her ears.Her chest heaved as she fought to calm her ragged breaths. Sweat slicked her skin, her hair plastered to her damp forehead. Her eyes darted frantically across the room, searching for any sign of the darkness that had consumed her moments before.She looked around wildly, her eyes adjusting to the familiar surroundings of her room.Clutching her stomach, her trembling fingers pressed against her flesh, half-expecting to find the blade that had pierced her in the dream. But there was nothing. Just the pounding of her heart, loud and unrelenting, as if it were trying to hammer its way out of her chest.She could hear the ticking of the clock in the silence. Looking up, she saw it was only 2:30 AM. Grabbing the sheet tightly, she wrapped it around herself as she trembled.“It was a dream,” she whispered shakily, her voice barely audible. “Just a dream.”But it had felt so real. Too real. She pulled the covers tightly around her tre

    Mia’s bitter laugh echoed through the room, her trembling hand pointing accusingly at Olive. Her voice was venomous as she snarled, “You think this is over? You’ve ruined everything—everything.”Raymond’s eyes darkened, his towering presence exuding cold authority. He stepped forward, his tone sharp and unyielding. “Mia, you’re not thinking clearly. I’ve asked you to leave because it’s the best thing for both of us. Staying here isn’t helping you.”Mia’s rage wavered, her face contorting as despair seeped into her expression. Her shoulders sagged, but her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “Best for who, Raymond? You? Do you even care what you’ve done to me?” Her voice cracked, heavy with anguish.Raymond sighed, but his tone turned harder, more resolute. “I care, Mia, but not in the way you want me to. I’ve never loved you, and I never will. I care because of the friendship between our families—nothing more. It’s time for you to let go.”Mia shook her head violently, her hair flying a

    “Who’s there?” Olive asked, her voice cautious as she approached the door.“It’s me, Raymond,” came the deep, familiar voice from the other side.She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door to find him standing there, his tall frame filling the doorway. His expression was calm, but his intense gaze held hers firmly.“I hope you’re comfortable in this suite,” he began, his voice softer than usual. “Or do you want me to get you a house instead?”Olive blinked, unsure if she had heard him correctly. “A house?” she repeated, her brows furrowing in confusion.Raymond nodded, his face betraying no emotion. “Yes, a house. I want you to feel at ease. If you’re not comfortable here, just say the word.”Olive stared at him, stunned by the casual way he made such a grand offer. “No, I don’t need a house,” she said quickly, shaking her head. “This suite is more than enough.”Raymond’s eyes dropped to the bed behind her, where her open suitcase lay with neatly folded clothes. “Are you leaving

    Mia leaned back in her chair, her fingers drumming against the table as she held her phone to her ear. “Make sure it’s done cleanly. No mistakes, no trace,” she said sharply.The man on the other end chuckled, his voice smooth and unbothered. “Mia, after all these years, you still question what I’m capable of?”He took a drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing briefly before he exhaled a cloud of smoke. His gaze wandered to the Chicago skyline outside his hotel window, his lips curving into a faint smirk.“Relax,” he said, his tone dripping with confidence. “You can start celebrating. The job’s as good as done.”Mia's laughter echoed through the phone, a cold, mirthless sound that sent shivers down the spine. "I knew I could count on you. You're the best in the business."The man's response was curt, his tone dismissive. "Just make sure you hold up your end of the deal." His words were a warning.He ended the call, slipping his phone into his pocket. His movements were deliberate a

    The morning sun shone brightly through the curtains of Olive’s hotel room. She woke up slowly, feeling tired after a restless night. She sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes, then stretched her arms. It was time to start the day.Dragging herself to the bathroom, she washed her face with cold water. The chill helped her wake up fully. After drying her face, Olive stared into the mirror for a moment. Her heart was heavy. The court case today was on her mind.She dressed simply, in a white blouse and navy jeans, and then walked over to the phone on the bedside table. She pressed the button to call the hotel’s room service.“Good morning,” she said. “I’d like to order breakfast, please. Coffee, scrambled eggs, and toast.”“Yes, ma’am,” the voice on the other end replied. “We’ll deliver it shortly.”After ending the call, Olive grabbed her phone and texted her lawyer, Mr. Henry. “Good morning, Mr. Henry. I’ll come to your office today with the documents.”It didn’t take long for him to reply.

    The waitress leaned back against the passenger seat, her dark eyes gleaming with malice. “Not bad. She’s a pretty one,” she said, smirking as she glanced at Olive. “Maybe you will have a little fun with her before she kisses the earth goodbye.”Olive’s skin crawled at the words. She felt like an animal, something to be used and then thrown away. Her mind raced, trying to think of a way to escape, but her body wouldn’t cooperate. She was too weak, too scared. She felt like a lamb surrounded by wolves, helpless and cornered. Tears burned her eyes, but she blinked them back, refusing to give her captors the satisfaction of seeing her break.Who were these people? What did they want? None of that mattered now. All she could think about was escape. She had to get out, no matter what.The car slowed to a halt, the sound of crunching gravel beneath the tires breaking the tense silence. Olive squinted through her blurry vision and saw they had arrived at a desolate location—a forgotten piece

Now.” His voice was sharp, filled with urgency.His driver rushed to open the car door, but Raymond didn’t wait. He slid into the backseat and slammed the door shut. “To the airport. Fast.”As the car sped off, Mia stood by the window, watching with a sly smirk. Everything was going just as she had planned.She picked up her phone and dialed.The cloaked man answered after one ring.“Hello,” she said smoothly, her voice dripping with fake sweetness. “I don’t want her to see the sunlight of the next day.”The man chuckled darkly, taking a long drag from his cigarette. “Consider it done.”He exhaled a cloud of smoke before leaning back lazily. “When will I get my part of the deal?”Mia rolled her eyes, her tone playful yet cold. “Don’t be in a hurry. Everything will be processed soon.”The man grinned, taking another sip of his wine. “It

    Sophia sat across from Ezra, her fingers tapping lightly against the cold surface of the table. She wasn’t here to beg. She wasn’t here to explain. She was here to end Olive, once and for all.Olive had taken everything from her—her pride, her future, and worst of all, the love of Frank.Sophia scoffed at the memory of their last fight. Frank had stood in their apartment, his jaw tight, his voice devoid of the warmth he once had for her.“I can’t do this anymore, Sophia. You’ve ruined me.”Ruined him?Her nails dug into her palm as she recalled every hateful word he had thrown at her. Frank blamed her for his failures, his losses. He called off the wedding, leaving her humiliated and alone. But she knew the truth—Frank was still deeply in love with Olive.That girl had been a thorn in her side for too long.Not anymore.She had imagined this moment a hundred times—the moment where she finally proved to Frank, and to herself, that she wasn’t weak.

    "What's the way?" Raymond asked. The officer adjusted his cap. “There’s a private security firm a few blocks from here. They have high-resolution cameras covering this entire district.” Raymond exchanged a glance with Daniel. “I think you could check there,” the officer added. Without wasting time, Daniel pulled out his phone and called the other guard stationed at the hospital. “Bring the car now. We’ll need it.” Minutes later, headlights cut through the dimly lit street as the vehicle screeched to a halt. Raymond and Daniel jumped in. The driver didn’t need directions—he floored the gas, heading straight to the security firm. When they arrived, the building was closed, its shutters down. A few people remained inside, visible through the tinted glass. Daniel knocked hard. A security man peered out through a side window. “We’re closed. Come back tomorrow.” Raymond stepped forward. His voice was sharp. “We don’t have time for tomorrow.” “Business hours are over,” the ma

    “Can we see the hospital’s CCTV footage?” Daniel asked.The staff hesitated for a second. Within minutes, Daniel and Raymond were led to the security room.“Pull up the CCTV footage,” Raymond requested.The technician got to work. Raymond stood behind him, arms crossed, his face cold. The footage played on the screen, showing the hospital’s entrance, patients, and nurses going about their routines. Daniel fast-forwarded, his eyes scanning every frame.“Stop,” he ordered. “Rewind.”The footage rolled back. Then, the moment appeared.A doctor in a white coat entered Olive’s ward. His head was slightly bowed, making his face unclear. Daniel’s gut twisted. “Zoom in.”The technician adjusted the feed, sharpening the image. The man’s face came into view.Daniel’s breath hitched. His vision tunneled.No. It couldn’t be.But it was.He had seen that face before—six years ago at the crash site.That day had been burned into his memory. Raymond’s car, mangled beyond recognition.

    Ezra’s thumb pressed the button.A sharp, blaring alarm exploded through the hospital halls. Red emergency lights flashed, and a computerized voice blared through the speakers.“Emergency alert! Fire detected! Please evacuate immediately!”The response was instant.Doctors, nurses, and patients rushed in all directions. The once-quiet corridors erupted into chaos. Gurneys rolled, doors slammed, voices shouted over each other. Some staff tried to maintain order, while others abandoned their stations in blind panic.Kain watched from the corner, calm amidst the frenzy. The fake emergency was working exactly as planned.He moved quickly.Slipping through the commotion, he entered Olive’s room. She lay motionless, the sedative still keeping her under. Without hesitation, he unlocked the wheels of her hospital bed and began rolling her toward the exit.The hallway was a mess, people darting past in all directions. No one paid attention to him moving a patient. It was the perfect cover.Jus

    Raymond strode into the hospital. He had no time for distractions. The moment Daniel’s call came through, he’d left Mia behind."Sir, Miss Olive has refused to eat. She received an anonymous message. It said, ‘Raymond and I are getting married. Don’t expect him to be with you.’ Since then, she hasn’t spoken much. You need to come right away."The words had stuck with him, leaving a sharp edge in his thoughts. Now, standing at the entrance of her ward, he pushed open the door without hesitation.Olive sat propped up against the pillows, her arms resting over her stomach, her entire frame tense. The tray of untouched food sat beside her, the silverware unmoved. Her gaze remained fixed on the wall, lost in silence.She didn’t turn to him."Olive."No response.Raymond moved closer. "Look at me."Still nothing.Her fingers curled into the sheets, her grip tight.Raymond sat at the edge of the bed, studying her carefully."Eat something," he said.A dry laugh escaped her, lacking any real

    Ezra leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he stared at Ethan with cold determination. His expression remained unreadable."You want me to abduct Olive?" he repeated, his voice dangerously low.Ethan smirked, lifting his whiskey glass to his lips before taking a slow sip. He savored the burn before setting the glass down, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished surface of his desk."Not just abduct," he corrected, his voice laced with amusement. "You’ll be working with Mia’s assassins. They’re skilled, precise. No loose ends."Ezra scoffed. "Mia?" He shook his head. "She’s blinded by her obsession with Raymond. You really think she’ll follow through once she has Olive in her grasp?"Ethan’s grin widened. "That’s the beauty of it, little brother. Mia thinks she’s running the game, but she’s nothing more than a pawn. Her hatred for Olive will make her reckless, and that’s exactly what we need. Let her believe she’s in control while we take what truly matters."

    Raymond’s phone rang, breaking the silence in the hospital ward.The sharp sound pulled him from his thoughts as he sat beside Olive’s hospital bed, his fingers resting lightly against hers. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the phone and answered without looking at the screen."Hello, sir," Daniel’s voice came through, steady but laced with an undertone of unease. "Sonia is no longer there."Raymond didn’t react immediately. Instead, a slow smirk crept onto his face."Leave them," he said, his voice was calm. "There’s an ambush waiting for them."He ended the call and slipped the phone back into his pocket, his expression unreadable.It wasn’t surprising. He had expected this.Sonia thought she was smart. She thought she had slipped away. But what she didn’t know was that he had planned for this exact moment. He had felt someone tailing him last night when he entered the dark room. Their presence had been obvious, their movements too cautious, too calculated. He had ignored th

    Sonia scoffed, her lips twisting into a smirk despite the raw pain on her face. She tilted her head slightly, letting her disheveled hair fall to one side as she regarded Raymond with defiant amusement."Because you don’t have the guts to hurt me. Because you love me very much," she beamed, her voice laced with mockery. "You act like a beast, but deep down, you're just a scared little boy hiding behind power."Raymond’s gaze darkened, his patience wearing dangerously thin.In a single, swift movement, his hold on her jaw tightened, his fingers pressing into her skin as he forced her to look at him."Even if the real Sonia comes, I won’t give her any damn attention," he said coldly, his grip tightening slightly before he abruptly shoved her head to the side, making it snap back. "Let alone a fake like you."Sonia laughed. It was a wicked, high-pitched sound, grating and mocking. The defiance in her eyes burned brightly, as if she truly believed she had control over the situation. She b

    “Oh, Raymond, you haven’t welcomed us well,” his grandfather said, his deep voice carrying both authority and expectation.Raymond’s fingers tapped against the armrest of his chair, his jaw set tight. Across from him, Mia sat beside his grandfather, her body angled slightly toward the old man as if seeking shelter in his presence. Her expression was laced with mock innocence, but the smug glint in her eyes didn’t escape Raymond’s notice.“She must have missed you so much,” his grandfather added, and Mia tilted her head playfully.“Yes, Grandpa! Only you understand me,” Mia cooed, slipping her arm through his grandfather’s as if she were a beloved granddaughter, cherished and protected.Raymond scoffed, as he look at Mia with Irritation. His gaze shifted to his grandfather, “what are you doing in New York?” His voice was firm, void of warmth.His grandfather exhaled slowly, leaning back against the chair, his fingers intertwined on his lap. “I didn’t know I needed to inform you before
