Olivia's throat constricted at Christopher's question. She knew she'd have to move into his house eventually, now that they were married. Christopher's eyes narrowed, his gaze intensifying as he awaited her response. But the longer he waited, the more it seemed like she was hesitant to answer.

"I asked a question, Olivia," he said, his voice low and even, but with a hint of impatience. The way he said her name sent a shiver down her spine.

"Can I...have until the weekend?" Olivia stammered, her heart racing. "I'll move in then."

Christopher sighed, ruffling his hair. "Weekend it is then," he said, his voice filled with resignation. He turned and walked out of the room, the other person following closely behind. Olivia watched him leave, relief settling over her. His presence always made her tense, and now, with him gone, she could finally breathe. She couldn't understand why she always felt that way around him.

Pushing the thought aside, she decided to focus on the task at hand

Okay, be honest... are we loving the drama or what? I hope you’re enjoying the story so far, because let me tell you, it only gets juicier from here. If you’ve laughed, gasped, side-eyed a character (or fallen in love with one), I’d love to hear all about it. Drop a review, scream in the comments, spill your theories, I’m here for all of it. Your thoughts seriously mean the world to me, and I appreciate every single one.

    Olivia's lips parted, but no words came out. She was taken aback by Christopher's question, unsure of how to respond. Had he been expecting her? Before she could gather her thoughts, the door swung open, and three men, whom she assumed were servants, entered with her luggage. They efficiently whisked her belongings away, disappearing into the depths of the house. "Olivia," Christopher's voice drew her attention back to him. His eyes locked onto hers. "Come with me." She followed him down the hallways. The house was massive, and the elegant décor and tall ceilings left her in awe. She wondered if Christopher lived there alone, and what about Nathan? As they walked, Christopher began to speak, his voice low and smooth. "This is my house, my only one. My room is on the third floor. The entire floor is reserved for me. I'm taking you to yours now." On the second floor, Christopher halted in front of a door and pushed it open. "Nathan informed me about your call," his voice was

    Olivia watched as Christopher devoured his food, not a single emotion on his face. She, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of food on the table. There were plates of eggs, bacon, sausages, and pastries, not to mention the bowls of fruit and yogurt. It was a feast fit for a king, or in this case, a billionaire. As she ate, Olivia stole a quick glance at Christopher, who didn't seem to care about the excess food. He was too busy enjoying his meal. After eating to his satisfaction, Christopher stood up, pushing his chair back. He picked up a napkin from the table and dabbed his mouth. "I'll be retiring for the day," he announced, his voice firm but polite. "I'll see you tomorrow." With that, he turned and walked away, his shoes clicking on the tiled floor. Olivia frowned, feeling a twinge of disappointment. She would have to get used to him acting this way. After eating to her fill, Olivia sighed and pushed her chair back, standing

    Olivia turned on her heels and walked away, leaving Christopher standing in the corridor. He watched her retreating figure, his jaw tightening. With a frustrated sigh, he raked a hand through his hair. What the hell had she been thinking, barging into his room—his private space? He had never allowed anyone in before, and she wouldn’t be the first. Back in her room, Olivia collapsed onto her bed, confusion swirling in her mind. Why had he reacted so harshly? Had she really done something wrong? His voice had been sharp, almost furious. The memory stung, and she curled up, willing herself to sleep. By evening, a knock at her door pulled her from her slumber. She opened it to find Jane standing there with a polite smile. "Good evening, ma’am," Jane greeted. "Sir requests your presence in the dining room." Olivia bit her lip as the earlier event rushed back, her fingers curling into fists. Did he think she would just sit across from him and pretend nothing had happened? "I'm not

    Olivia’s heart lifted at Christopher’s words. He had finally started working on her brother’s case. Relief flooded her, and a bright smile spread across her face. For the first time in a long while, hope felt within reach. Christopher excused himself to freshen up, and Olivia moved to the dining room, her excitement barely contained. When he returned, he had changed into a red shirt, the top two buttons undone, paired with fitted black pants. The casual yet refined look suited him, emphasizing his broad shoulders and effortless confidence. As if on cue, the servants entered, swiftly setting the table with steaming dishes before retreating in practiced silence. Olivia and Christopher began eating, the atmosphere warm yet charged. Just then, the door swung open with a dramatic burst, and Nathan strode in, a wide, knowing grin plastered across his face. He made himself comfortable in a chair, his presence filling the room with an air of mischief. Christopher shot him an exasperat

    “What are your plans, Nathan?” Christopher’s voice was edged with suspicion as his narrowed eyes bore into Nathan. Why was he befriending the girl? Nathan’s lips curled into a mischievous smile as he casually picked up a file from the stack on Christopher’s desk, flipping through the pages with leisurely interest. “My intentions are genuine, Chris,” he said, his tone light. Christopher’s gaze darkened. “Are you interested in her?” His voice was sharp, almost testing. Nathan chuckled, still flipping through the file as if the conversation was nothing more than idle talk. “Undeniably, she’s pretty. Well-mannered too.” His smirk didn’t waver. Christopher exhaled, raking a hand through his hair. Of course Nathan would say that. He leaned back, his fingers drumming lightly against the desk. “Does that mean you want her? Well, she’s my wife. You’ll have to wait until we get divorced and—” “Why wait?” Nathan interrupted smoothly, finally dropping the file and giving Christopher

    A heavy silence settled over the room, thick with tension. Olivia felt momentarily frozen, her mind scrambling to process the words she had just heard. Christopher’s wife? No. That had to be a mistake. “I—I don’t understand,” Olivia said carefully, her voice measured as she tried to grasp the situation. “I’m Olivia Harris, and I’m legally married to—” “Oh, save it,” the dark-haired woman interrupted, waving a dismissive hand. Her tone was light, almost amused, but there was an underlying sharpness to it. “I know exactly who you are. That’s why I didn’t bother making my visit longer than necessary.” Olivia’s confusion only deepened. Who were these women? The woman’s lips curled into a knowing smile as she leaned slightly forward. “I’m Sophia. Christopher’s sister.” Her eyes glinted with something sinister before she gestured toward the blonde sitting on the couch. “And that lovely lady over there? That’s Racheal—Christopher’s wife.” Olivia stiffened. Her mind screamed t

    Olivia entered her room and dropped her bag on the bed, letting herself fall back onto the mattress with a heavy sigh. The tension from earlier, Sophia’s cold remarks and Racheal’s seething hostility echoed in her mind, unwelcome and exhausting. Her first day back at work had already drained her, and returning home to that kind of drama was the last thing she needed. She pressed her palms against her face for a moment, then shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it. She made her way to the bathroom for a long, cool bath to ease the weight on her shoulders. By the time she stepped out and changed into her nightdress—simple, comfortable, nothing too revealing, making her feel a little lighter. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun, and she tucked herself into bed with her diary in hand. The soft scratch of her pen on paper was the only sound in the room. It was a few minutes past nine when she heard the low hum of Christopher’s car pulling into the driveway. She glanced toward

    His eyes focused on Olivia, and his gaze lingered longer than it should have. Sophia noticed the stare and parted her lips to speak, but Christopher raised a hand, silencing her. "I said not another word," he said firmly before tearing his eyes from Olivia. "I'm married to Olivia, and for good reasons. Sophia, keep your nose out of it." "But brother, it—" "You know how much I hate repeating myself," he said, flashing her a warning look. "Let’s eat." They ate in silence, each person lost in their own thoughts. Olivia kept her head down but couldn't help occasionally glancing up. Every time she did, she caught Racheal glaring at her with hostility. Eventually, Sophia and Racheal finished their meals and left the dining room together. Christopher followed a few minutes later, saying nothing more. Olivia was the last to leave, quietly heading back to her room. The house settled into the quiet of night, but in one part of the mansion, Racheal was pacing furiously across Sophia’

    Christopher sat alone in his study, the quiet scratch of his pen moving across paper the only sound in the room. Shadows curled at the edges of the lamplight, and the air held a stillness that wasn’t quite peaceful. He paused mid-sentence, the ink drying beneath his fingertips as his thoughts wandered, to Racheal. Her words echoed in his mind, sharp and filled with something venomous. He closed his eyes briefly, then exhaled. A muscle ticked in his jaw. His gaze shifted to the telephone on the corner of his desk. Without hesitation, he reached for it and dialed. A servant answered quickly, the voice distant on the other end. “Bring Olivia to my study.” His voice was low, controlled. He hung up without another word. Minutes passed. He didn’t move, just stared ahead at nothing. Then a gentle knock interrupted the silence. The door opened slowly. Olivia stepped inside, her presence quiet, almost careful. She wore a long green dress, modest in cut but flowing with quiet g

    "Can I come in with you?" Racheal’s voice was thick with seduction, her tone dripping like honey poured in slow motion. She leaned slightly closer, her eyes gleaming with mischief, and something darker beneath. Christopher’s gaze swept over her figure. The short, barely-there dress clung to her like a second skin. The soft sheen of her lip gloss caught the light, and her perfume lingered in the air between them—sweet, overpowering, invasive. He frowned. What was going on? "Do you have somewhere you want to head to?" he asked, his tone even but suspicious. His eyes didn’t drift lower. He stared straight into hers, hard and sharp. "Tell one of the staff to arrange a car for you." But Racheal only laughed, a low, sultry sound as she covered her mouth with delicate fingers. "No, Christopher," she said, stretching his name like a caress. Her fingers trailed down his chest, slow and deliberate, until they brushed across his nipple, circling lightly. A calculated move. His expressi

    Olivia’s mind went blank for a moment, the words etching themselves into her consciousness as if they were meant to haunt her. Her pulse quickened, her throat tightening. A shiver ran down her spine, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. Her first instinct was to throw the envelope and rose away, to pretend none of this had happened. But she couldn’t. She felt... trapped by the message. With a shaky breath, she closed the locker door, the harsh click of the lock sounding far too loud in the quiet room. She tried to shake the feeling off, forcing herself to breathe. The envelope and its contents remained in her hand, their weight suddenly unbearable. The game had just begun? What game? She could have dismissed it, chalked it up to a stupid prank, but it wasn’t that simple. The letter had included her name. Olivia Harris. Someone knew exactly where she worked. They knew which locker was hers. Her grip tightened around the envelope. A mix of fear and dread coiled
