Season 2 Starts:Victor was in his study, his hands trembling as he drank another glass of alcohol. Olivia’s absence was like a huge wound, and no amount of alcohol could numb the pain.He was about to pour himself another drink when his phone buzzed on the table. He ignored it at first, but the nonstop ringing forced him to pick it up.“Hello?” he snapped; his voice rough.“Mr. Harrington,” a voice on the other end said urgently. “There’s been an accident. Olivia... she’s in the hospital.”The glass slipped from Victor’s hand, shattering on the floor. His heart stopped, and for a moment, he couldn’t breathe.“What... what are you talking about?” he stammered.“The car she was in... there was a collision. She’s in critical condition. You need to come to the hospital immediately.”Victor didn’t wait to hear more. He grabbed his coat and rushed out of the house; his heart was pounding hardly.When Victor arrived at the hospital, the sterilized smell of antiseptic and the sound of machin
The following days were a haze of cautious recovery. Victor stayed by Olivia’s side, refusing to leave even when the nurses suggested he rest. He held her hand through every painful moment, every moment of confusion and frustration.One afternoon, she turned to him with a hesitant expression. “Why are you doing all this?” she asked.He looked at her, his eyes soft. “Because I care about you,” he said simply.She frowned; her confusion deepens. “But I don’t even remember you. What if…” She trailed off, unsure how to speak her thoughts.Victor’s jaw tightens, but he forced himself to remain calm. “It doesn’t matter,” he said. “You’re here and alive. That’s all that matters to me.”Her eyes searched his face, as if trying to find some hint of deceit. But all she saw was sincerity and a depth of emotion that she couldn’t fully understand.A week later, the doctors declared that Olivia is stable enough to be discharged. Victor was there in every step of the way, ensuring she had everything
The days in Victor’s house began to feel like a rhythm to Olivia, but at the same time, she found herself sinking into its strange comfort. Her injuries were healing well under Victor’s care, though the scars, both physical and emotional were still there.Victor was staying home more often, his business responsibilities consigned to trusted aides. He told Olivia he wanted to be close, to ensure she had everything she needed, though his constant presence made her more aware of his intense eyes, his every move was calculated yet tender.It was during one of these quiet evenings that Olivia’s thoughts come over. They sat in the library; Victor’s favorite room surrounded by bookshelves. He was reading a book while she was drinking a cup of herbal tea he’d prepared for her.“Victor,” she said. He looked up immediately, his piercing eyes softening. “Yes?”She hesitated, clutching the mug tighter. “I need to ask you something.”He set the book aside, leaning forward slightly. “Go ahead.”“Wh
Olivia stirred awake, her soft lashes fluttering against her cheeks as the soft morning light gets into the room. Her eyes drifted to Victor, who was sitting by her bed. He was reading a book, his fingers tracing the edges of the pages, but his attention immediately shifted to her as soon as she moved.“Good morning,” he greeted her softly.“Morning,” Olivia replied. Every day, Victor was there; caring for her, watching over her, and yet he was a stranger. A handsome and charming stranger who claimed to be her husband.She studied him. How could someone so sophisticated, so wealthy, possibly be tied to her? The thought bothered at her.Victor gets up from his seat. He placed the book on the side table and stepped closer. “Are you hungry? The nurse said you can start having something more solid today.Olivia nodded. As he gets the plate and spoon, she watched him carefully. His presence was commanding, but there was a gentleness in the way he handled the tray.He sat on the edge of her
As the days passed, Olivia’s strength continued to improve, and with it came more fragments of memories. They were small at first…. a fleeting image of Victor and her struggles echoing in her ears. But one night, as she lay in bed, an intense memory struck her like lightning.She was in a car, the world spinning around her. Eran’s voice called out her name, panic passing in his voice. Then there was the sound of metal crunching, glass breaking, and everything went dark.Olivia shot up in bed with a scream, her heart pounding hardly. She pressed a hand to her chest, struggling to catch her breath.Victor burst into the room moments later, his eyes wide with concern. “Olivia, what’s wrong?”“I… I remembered something,” she said, her voice shaking.He crossed the room in an instant, sitting beside her and taking her face in his hands. “What did you remember?”She looked at him, tears passing in her eyes. “The accident. Eran… he was with me. I… I think he called my name before it happened
The following days Olivia’s confrontation with Victor were marked by an unspoken tension. She avoided him when he entered the room, her mind still stuck in the memories that had surfaced. Despite her uncertainties, she couldn’t deny the care and devotion he showed her, the gentleness opposite to the flashes of anger from her past.Victor, on the other hand, gave her space, though he wanted to stay close to her. Each night, he would sit by her door, ensuring she feels safe, while silently regretting his past actions.One afternoon, Olivia decided to take a walk in the garden. Lost in thought, she didn’t hear his footsteps until he was standing beside her. “Olivia,” Victor said softly.She turned her face, her expression guarded. “Victor.”“I wanted to check on you,” he said, his eyes seeing her face for any sign of distress. “You’ve been quiet since… that night.”“I’ve been thinking,” she admitted. “About everything. About you. About me.”Victor’s heart tightens. “And what have you dec
Olivia was sitting in her room long after Victor’s confession. The truth he had revealed was hard for her, yet it explained so much…..the memories that had surrounded, the fear she once felt. She stared at her reflection in the mirror, her own face feeling unfamiliar.Was forgiveness even possible after everything? And if it was, did she have the strength to give it?The next morning, Victor was waiting in the dining room. He had barely slept; his thoughts were full with Olivia’s reaction. When she enters the room, their eyes met, and he stood, unsure of what to expect.“Good morning,” he said softly, his voice was cautious.Olivia nodded, taking a seat across from him. Finally, she spoke, her tone measured. “I’ve been thinking about what you told me.” “I’m not saying I forgive you…not yet,” she said, her eyes steady. “But… I think I want to try. To see if we can move on.”Relief passed over Victor’s face, and he nodded. “I promise I won’t let you down.”In the following days, Victor
“You’re beautiful,” Victor mumbled against her skin, his voice filled with adoration.Olivia’s response was a soft moan as she pulled him closer, their bodies moving in perfect accord. The intimacy between them was raw, passionate, and unrestrained, marking a turning point in their relationship.As the night deepens, the tension between them dissolved. Victor’s touch became more insistent, his lips finding hers in a kiss that spoke of longing and desire. Olivia responded, her fingers going through his hair as she pulled him closer.Their kisses grew more and more heated, their breaths mingling as Victor’s hands explored her body. He lifted her effortlessly, carrying her in his arms.Victor laid her down gently, his eyes searching hers for permission. Olivia nodded, her heart pounding as she surrendered to him completely.Victor’s kisses got down her neck, his hands roaming her body with a worship that made
Back at the ports, Victor’s car screeched to a halt. The black van Dawson had tracked was parked in a shadowy corner near an abandoned warehouse. The air was thick with the salty scent of the sea.Victor stepped out of the car. He didn’t wait for his men to catch up, striding toward the warehouse with a gun in hand.Inside, the gang leader sat in a makeshift office, smugly watching the CCTV footage of the warehouse area. He smirked when he spotted Victor’s tall frame storming towards the entrance. "Showtime," he murmured to himself, signaling his men to prepare for the ambush.Victor enters the warehouse cautiously, the light from a single bulb casting shadows on the walls. He moved silently; his gun was ready. The silence was threatening, broken only by the distant creak of metal and the sound of waves crashing against the ports.Suddenly, a noise to his left made him freeze. A shadow moved, and before he could react, two men attacked h
Victor was in his office when his phone rang. The moment he heard the panicked voice of Olivia’s gallery assistant, his blood ran cold.“Mr. Victor, Olivia didn’t make it to her car. We found her bag and phone on the side path. I think something’s happened!”Victor didn’t wait for details. He bolted from his chair, shouting orders to his security team as he ran towards home. His mind raced with fear and anger.“Not her,” he whispered to himself. “Not Olivia.”Olivia woke up in a dark room, her head pounding. The cold cement floor beneath her was freezing, and her wrists were bound with rough rope. Panic surged through her as she realized the severity of her situation.The sound of a door creaking open made her heart paused. A man stepped into the room… a tall, frightening figure with a cruel smile.“Mrs. Victor,” he drawled, his voice laced with threat. “Wel
That night, Olivia was awake, her heart beating. The message had shaken her more than she wanted to admit. She trusted Victor, but the idea that someone was trying to drive a wedge between them was disgusting.Meanwhile, Victor sat in his study, his laptop open as he got through surveillance footage and reports. He was determined to find the source of the messages, but so far, the chance was cold.As the hours ticked by, Victor made a decision. Whoever was behind this was trying to create doubt and fear. He won’t let them succeed.The next morning, as Olivia prepared to leave for the gallery, she found an envelope on the front step. Her name was scrawled across it in elegant handwriting.She hesitated, then opened it. Inside was a single photograph.It was of Victor… standing outside a building she didn’t recognize, speaking to a woman she had never seen before.Olivia stared at the photograph in her hands, her heart pound
Victor guided Olivia back inside, his arm protectively wrapped around her waist. His mind was racing. Someone was playing dangerous, and he couldn’t risk letting them win.Once Ava was safely tucked in for the night and Olivia was preoccupied in her art studio, Victor made a discreet call to his head of security.“Whoever sent that message… they’re moving. I need a lockdown on all of our properties,” Victor ordered in a low and commanding voice. “Increase the security detail around Olivia and Ava. I don’t care what it costs.”“Understood, sir,” the voice replied.Victor’s jaw tightens as he hung up. He had built his empire by staying three steps ahead of everyone else, but now, with Olivia and Ava in his life, the risks were higher than ever.Meanwhile, in her studio, Olivia noticed that something was wrong. Victor had been distant. She tried to focus on her painting, the vibrant co
Olivia’s heart stopped as she stared at the text on her phone. Her hands shaking, and an icy chill crept through her body. She glanced over at Victor, who was peacefully asleep beside her. Should she wake him? Should she tell him immediately?Her instincts screamed yes, but a part of her hesitated. The picture of Ava was taken in broad daylight at the gallery…. surrounded by people, security, and her own watchful eyes. How had someone gotten that close without being noticed?The next morning, Olivia could barely sit still as Victor prepared for a day of meetings. He noticed her unease and touch her face gently, his eyes searching hers.“You’ve been quiet since last night. Is something bothering you?” he asked softly.Olivia bit her lip, debating whether to tell him. The memory of the message replays in her mind. She couldn’t keep it from him.“There’s something you need to see,” she said finall
The gallery was buzzing with excitement as the grand opening neared. Olivia stood near one of her featured pieces, a glass of champagne shaking slightly in her hand. The tension that had been building since the previous day was almost unbearable. She watched as guests milled about, admiring the art, oblivious to the storm rising inside her.Victor was across the room, effortlessly commanding attention as he greeted influential people. Dressed in a sharp black suit, he looked every bit the powerful businessman he was, but Olivia couldn’t shake the memory of Adrian’s suspicious interaction earlier.Her eyes went towards Adrian, who was busy directing staff. He acted as though nothing was amiss, but Olivia’s instincts screamed otherwise. She wants to know what was in that envelope.As the evening progressed, Adrian approached her with a warm smile. “Mrs. Victor, your pieces are stealing the show. The response has been amazing.”
The soft sound of the jet engine filled the air as Victor and Olivia sat side by side, route to Paris. Victor’s hand rested possessively on Olivia’s thigh, his thumb slowly tracing circles against the fabric of her dress. Ava slept soundly in the bassinet nearby, oblivious to the silent tension between her parents.Olivia couldn’t shake the voice on the phone. Who had called her? And why? She glanced at Victor; his sharp jawline set with focus as he flipped through a report. Could she truly share the strange warning she had received? Or would it unravel the delicate balance they had fought so hard to restore?“Are you all right?” Victor’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. His intense gaze pinned her in place, as though he could read her mind.“Yes,” she lied, managing a small smile. “Just a little nervous about the exhibition.”Victor leaned closer, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, &l
The early morning sunlight streamed through the bedroom curtains, casting soft patterns on the bed where Victor and Olivia lay. Olivia woke first, her eyes fluttering open. Her gaze landed on the invitation sitting on the nightstand…. an invitation that had sparked tension the moment Victor laid eyes on it.Victor was already awake, propped up against the headboard with Ava on his lap. He was reading her a story; his deep voice was soft but commanding. Olivia couldn’t help but smile at the sight of her husband, so gentle and fatherly, despite the storm she knew was rising beneath the surface.“Morning,” she said softly, sitting up and stretching.Victor glanced over, his sharp eyes immediately softening when they meet hers. “Good morning, love.”But the calm was short-lived. His eyes drifted to the invitation once again, and Olivia knew they had to address it.“Victor,” she started cautiously, &ldquo
Few Months Later:Olivia stood before the large canvas in her studio, her hands splashed with colors as she worked on her latest piece. The warm afternoon sun filters through the windows. She was utterly captivated in her work, the stress of the past weeks melting away with every stroke of the brush.Victor watched her from the doorway, his arms crossed as a small smile played on his lips. “You’re glowing,” he said, his deep voice pulling her from her trance.Startled, Olivia turned, her cheeks flushed at the way he looked at her. “I didn’t hear you come in.”Victor stepped closer, his eyes seeing her paint-splattered apron. “I didn’t want to interrupt. You look... happy.”“I am,” she admitted, setting down her brush. “The gallery has been so supportive. They’re even hosting an exhibit for me next month.”Victor’s pride was
