Olivia felt a torrent of heat and desire flood through her, an overwhelming craving for Reuben unlike anything she had ever experienced. Their kiss had ignited something deep within her, a yearning she couldn't ignore.Suddenly, Reuben broke the kiss, and Olivia could still feel the warmth of his breath brushing against her cheek. "Reuben," she whispered, her voice barely audible as she instinctively arched her back, longing to close the distance between them. She opened her eyes just enough to catch a glimpse of him gazing down at her, his expression brimming with passion and intensity. His hands gripped her firmly, anchoring her in place, for her legs felt like jelly beneath her."Perfect." A voice interrupted, pulling Olivia out of her reverie. It was John, providing an unwanted reminder that they were not alone. Reuben gradually withdrew from Olivia, his eyes reflecting astonishment and heat at the sudden intrusion. Olivia gasped, realizing that his eyes had shifted to a striki
Reuben couldn't remain there any longer. Whenever his body succumbed to illness, his abilities tended to spiral out of control.With all the self-control he could muster, Reuben rushed back into the building. He had to get Olivia out of there before he acted on his baser instincts.Leaving her behind might have been the safest option, but the thought nagged at him. She didn’t know anyone in this place. Reuben couldn’t abandon her like that.The moment his eyes landed on her, an overwhelming urge to claim her washed over him, intensified by the intoxicating scent that surrounded her.Fighting against the primal need surging within him, he grasped Olivia's hand firmly. “We need to get going, now.” he insisted.“John, I need to see the doctor. We can talk tomorrow.” Reuben managed to say as he hurriedly left the building.“Is everything alright?” Olivia asked, concern lacing her voice as soon as Reuben started the car.Reuben nodded. “I’m just coming down with a slight fever. I’ll drop y
OLIVIA JUNE Oak Mountain School is renowned for its picturesque mountain setting, and I have chosen to complete my final months of senior year there. I have a boyfriend at the school, though we are in different classes. We used to share our lunchtimes and enjoyed spending our free time engaging in sports, watching movies, or exploring the areas surrounding our former school. Now, we are both students at Oak Mountain School.I informed my boyfriend, Jerry, that we would meet up at school since my mother and I had some shopping to do before heading to my new school for the remainder of the year.On the morning of my first day, I prepared myself for Oak Mountain School by following my usual morning routine."Oli, are you ready to go?" my mother inquired as she gathered a few of my bags from my room."Just give me a minute or two, and I'll be ready." I replied cheerfully."Alright, dear. I’ll meet you downstairs." she said while carrying two of my bags and heading down.After taking a d
OLIVIA JUNEThey stood tall near our table, hands shoved into their pockets. The one in the middle locked eyes with me, his perfect smile revealing a set of white teeth that seemed to glint maliciously.'Damn it, Olivia, your boyfriend is sitting next to you for crying out loud.'Their bodies were well-built and muscular. The girl on the left sneered. "Look at this. Look who we have here.""It seems what we did to your young sister wasn't enough, huh?" the guy beside the middle one mocked.I glanced at Jessica, raising an eyebrow. "Young sister?" I questioned, but Jessica remained silent, her gaze fixed downward, hands trembling."I think I found myself a new girlfriend, guys." The middle guy said, his stare boring deep into my soul.My heart was racing.The crew responded with a chorus of "Ohhh." as the students in the cafeteria fell mute, their eyes glued to us. It was clear; Lewis’s earlier remarks had made everyone's loyalties clear.Suddenly, my boyfriend Jerry slammed our food d
PLEASE SKIP THIS CHAPTER, IF YOUR SENSITIVE PLEASE.OLIVIA JUNEUpon entering my dorm room, I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I realized Jessica was absent, likely at her first class of the day. I settled onto my bed and took out my phone.Before diving into the chaos of the group chat, I decided to reach out to my mother to reassure her that I was doing fine. Yesterday had been a whirlwind, leaving me no opportunity to return her calls. As I opened the student group chat, my heart sank; the situation was far worse than I had anticipated. Reuben had posted a picture of us kissing, and it appeared strikingly real. The post had garnered an overwhelming number of comments—hundreds, in fact.Scrolling through the comments made me feel nauseous. How could people speak so poorly of me?*Reuben's caption read: No one dares to touch what is mine; I claimed her yesterday. Jerry, you better back off.**One comment said: "Poor Jerry."**Another added: "Olivia is a bitch, period."*With ev
OLIVIA JUNE.As the morning light filtered through my curtains, I awoke feeling disoriented and unwell. The previous day had been a tumultuous one; I had meticulously cleaned the bathroom, where I encountered blood, and after tending to myself, I succumbed to sleep. Now, I found myself here, surprisingly numb to the pain from the razor blade.I went about my usual routine, taking a shower before making my way to my locker. Upon arriving, I was met with the sight of Charlotte and Reuben, their expressions twisted into smirks as if they had just spotted a wild animal. Students in the hallway hurled insults my way—thin-ass, sick bitch, ugly—yet, I had trained myself to ignore them, keeping my gaze downcast.As I rifled through my locker for books for my first class, I noticed Reuben, Charlotte, Vincent, and Ryker passing nearby. Charlotte paused, leaning in to whisper in my ear. “Hoe of the school.” It was a taunt I had heard before.Under my breath, I retorted. “Like you’re not one.”C
THIS CHAPTER IS SENSITIVE, PLEASE SKIP THIS CHAPTER ,IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE.OLIVIA JUNE.I cautiously stepped into Mr. Denzel's office, bracing myself for whatever consequences awaited me.He gestured toward the chair opposite his desk, still visibly upset. "Olivia June, please have a seat." he instructed.I sat down, my gaze fixed on my hands as a wave of panic surged within me."I won’t beat around the bush, Miss June. You are facing a two-week suspension for fighting." he stated, his eyes locked onto mine.I looked up in shock, my eyes wide with disbelief.He raised his hand to silence my impending protest and continued."And Miss Simpson will receive the same punishment."I nodded in acknowledgment."I attempted to reach your mother, but her phone went to voicemail, so I sent her a message informing her of your suspension for fighting at school. A car is waiting outside to take you home." he explained.Again, I nodded.He regarded me with a curious expression and asked. "Olivia June
OLIVIA JUNE As I gradually opened my eyes to the blinding light, I realized I was in an unfamiliar room. Confusion washed over me—was I already in heaven? Had my prayers finally been answered?Pain coursed through my entire body, as if I had been struck by a barrage of stones. My head pounded relentlessly, causing my vision to blur.As I turned my head, the stark reality hit me: I was in a hospital.Who had come to my aid? My mother or perhaps our neighbor? My mind was still clouded with pain and confusion, and tears began to well up in my eyes when I suddenly heard someone exclaim. "Oh my God, you’re awake! Doctor! Doctor!"“Mom?” I whispered, my voice barely audible.“I’m coming, sweetheart, just hold on.” she replied.“Mom.” I wanted to apologize for the trouble I had caused her, but thankfully, she returned to my bedside.“Why would you do something like this?” she asked, tears streaming down her cheeks as she grasped my hand tightly.I recounted everything that had happened sinc

"Are you ready?" Reuben asked Olivia as they stood outside the door that led to the room filled with directors and actors.Olivia managed to nod despite her heart threatening to jump out of her chest. She was nervous—more nervous than she had ever been in her entire life.The room was noisy, with everyone engaged in deep conversation, but the moment Reuben and Olivia entered, all eyes were on them."Reuben." A man with long grayish-black and white hair greeted him. "At least today you're early."Reuben laughed and motioned for Olivia to step forward, urging her not to hide behind him. "This is my stepsister.""I see." The man’s gaze turned to Olivia. "I remember seeing her at the wedding. She's beautiful. Let's see if her acting is as good as her beauty."Olivia felt her cheeks flush as she registered the compliment. He thought I was beautiful, Olivia thought to herself."As you know, this is not your typical action movie. It's action mixed with a fair amount of romance. Therefore, we
Reuben stepped out to the front of the mansion after confirming that Olivia was sound asleep. The two had dedicated the entire day to rehearsing her acting scenes for the upcoming day.Despite Olivia's lack of experience, Reuben was pleasantly surprised by her performance. She exhibited quick learning and sharp thinking, traits that would undoubtedly serve her well in her acting career.As soon as Reuben reached the front gate, he noticed a black Mercedes pull up. He watched intently as a familiar figure emerged from the vehicle, instantly recognizing the pair of green eyes that met his gaze."You’re late, Reuben." his best friend Michael remarked, a hint of teasing in his voice."I had to wait for Olivia to fall asleep first." Reuben replied nonchalantly.Michael tilted his head, intrigued. "The daughter of the woman your father, David, married?"Reuben nodded in affirmation. "She’s been quite a handful," he admitted, pressing the button on his remote to open the gate. He stepped thr
Reuben found himself alone with Olivia in the house for two long days, and his thoughts spiraled into an abyss of desire that he couldn’t shake. Despite the fact that Olivia had never stepped foot in his room, the idea of her lying in his bed ignited a fire within him, making It impossible to think of anything else.When it came to his responsibilities with Melissa, Reuben prided himself on his self-control. But Olivia was an entirely different matter altogether. No matter how far apart they were in proximity, the mere sight of her sent his body into a frenzy. It was as if a magnetic force drew him towards her, compelling him to close the distance.It should have been easier to resist the urge to seek her out, especially with the wedding looming just days away, yet Reuben found himself sitting in his car several times, yearning to catch even a glimpse of Olivia. The anticipation clawed at him, making every moment apart feel longer and more unbearable.When his father, David, suggested
It was the day of Mary and David's wedding in Paris.Olivia stared at her mother in her wedding dress; she looked absolutely beautiful."You are the perfect bride, Mother," Olivia said, continuing to gaze at her in awe.Mary smiled, tears glistening in her eyes. "I can't believe this is happening. It feels like a dream.""There's my beautiful daughter and grandchild," Olivia's grandfather said at the door. "It's time to walk you down the aisle."Mary, Olivia's mother, nodded and laced her arm through his. Olivia picked up the bouquet from the table and walked out into the garden. As the maid of honor, she was expected to walk down the aisle before them.Olivia held her head high and, after taking a deep breath, began to walk down the pathway. She could feel eyes on her from every direction.The crowd was thick, and everyone there seemed extremely rich. After what felt like an eternity, Olivia finally reached the groom and the best man, Reuben. Against her better judgment, she stole a
"Oh," someone remarked from behind Olivia. "You’re here too."She quickly turned on her heels to see Melissa glaring at her."Um, hello." Olivia managed to reply, acutely aware that Melissa likely had no desire to engage in conversation.With narrowed eyes, Melissa stepped closer to Olivia, poised to say something when her expression suddenly shifted in shock. Something had clearly startled her, leaving Olivia bewildered.In a surprising turn, Melissa abruptly pulled away and stormed off, anger etched across her face.Had Olivia missed something significant?Chase hadn't anticipated feeling such a strong reaction towards Olivia. Her presence seemed to hijack his body’s responses, and when Reuben was caught being affectionate with Jason, he nearly lost his composure.Chase resented the thought of Olivia being with Jason, unable to bear the sight of her smiling at her boyfriend. He longed to be the sole man eliciting that beautiful smile from her.Reuben, on the other hand, was perplexe
Olivia's body froze, unable to move even an inch as she processed Reuben's words. She was incredulous; was he really asking her to be the lead actress in his upcoming film? The thought raced through her mind."Isn't there a rule against that?" she queried, her confusion evident. "How can they hire me for such a significant role when I've never acted before? People are definitely going to talk." she added, recalling how the gossip had flowed when she had gone shopping with him.Reuben tilted his head, a playful smirk on his face. "Let me handle that. If your acting is good, no one will have anything to say—trust me. This could be your debut movie."Olivia was left speechless. It was astonishing that Reuben, who barely knew her, had such faith in her abilities."I don’t know what to say,” she admitted. “And I haven't had a chance to properly thank you for saving me that day, and now this."Reuben smiled, a sight that took Olivia by surprise. Since arriving at the mansion, he had always
It was the day before the wedding, and Olivia and her family were already in Paris. She tried to focus on the conversation around her, but finding a clear thought proved impossible; all she could think about was searching for Reuben.Since the day he had dropped her off at the hospital—the very day he had saved her—Olivia hadn't seen him. She was unsure whether Reuben was avoiding her because of his girlfriend or if he was simply trying to distance himself due to the pressing questions that weighed on her mind about the accident.Desperation gnawed at her. Why did she want to know the details of her rescue? Olivia still clung to the hope that everything she had experienced was a misunderstanding, but Reuben's silence only fueled her imagination, leading her to darker, unthinkable conclusions.As a girl who loved watching movies about avatars and galaxies, Olivia often found herself lost in fantasies, envisioning that perhaps those flights of fantasy could be real. She knew it was absu
