“Caleb, will you do it faster? For once in life, put your muscles to some good use.” Olivia shouted at him angrily while walking behind him with a huge cardboard box in her hand. “I am trying, Olivia. Boxes are apparently not that light. Little help from you would be very nice.” He glared at her. “Remind me again why did I agree with your idea of living together?” She crossed her arm. “Because it is easier to stay with each other as we will be going to the same college.” He rolled his eyes. “Just for convenience, right? Take this box also with you.” With that, Olivia placed the same box filled with their belongings above the box that Caleb was already carrying. “Oomph!! Really Livy. Aren’t you bossy?” He told her, still carried both the boxes and kept them safely near the couch of their new home. Olivia only shrugged at his response. “I already told you that old Olivia is difficult to handle.” “But I love her all the same.” He winked at her. “Don’t you now?” She came closer to

Olivia stood dead on her feet. Her entire world has been ripped away from her. She is aware that she should be relieved that she will no longer be tortured, but why is she unable to do so? Is it true that physical pain is more tolerable than mental pain? She has been hurt; both in physical and mental ways. It was not difficult to conclude that she is at present mentally unstable. This very thought made her laugh in her mind. When has she ever been stable to begin with? She has been suffering from the past two for almost three years. As a result, her life is already a living hell, and the incident that occurred today was just icing on the cake. She can’t say that what she is feeling today is anything new. She had already experienced these feelings three years ago. And it has only gotten worse over time if that was even possible. She isn’t sure whether she should be happy or sad. Finally, she would be able to leave this place for good. The place which has given her a lot of bad and

The interior of the house is just as lovely as the exterior. The house is massive, with two floors. The interiors are well-designed. Olivia would have paid more attention to the interiors if she had been in better shape. But she was too preoccupied with the various thoughts racing through her mind, so she couldn’t comprehend much in front of her. Yes, she was awestruck here and there, but a flashback to her past life would send her back into depression mode. “This is Caleb, my son, Livy.” When Eliana spoke, she was jolted back into the present. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn’t notice him standing right in front of her. Caleb, Eliana’s son, was just standing there looking at her. She felt small and insecure as he studied her intently as if she were some kind of research project. Eliana had already told her in the car that her son is the same age as hers and that she would be attending the same school as him. He is one of the most attractive men Olivia has ever se

After long hours of sleep, Olivia finally woke up at eight in the morning and went down. She walked into the kitchen and saw everyone munching on their breakfast on the chair in front of the table. This sight almost made her smile, but it didn’t last long because she suddenly had a flashback to her life four years ago. They were a happy family back then. Her mother would always prepare delicious meals for them, and her father would always assist her mother in the kitchen. Until then, she and Ja... Uh, they used to laugh or fight until their parents served the food, and they spent their time together like any other happy family. Olivia didn’t want to disturb their family moment, so she took a left and was about to return to her new room when Eliana called her name. The universe, as usual, has other plans for her. “Livy, good morning. Take a seat and join us for breakfast.” She didn’t want to, but she knew she needed to eat something because she had eaten nothing for three days. Ol

Olivia went downstairs, where Caleb was waiting because it was already seven o'clock. She knows he hates her more than ever now that she agreed to go to this party with him, but only if he knows it's not true. “Are you going to the party wearing this?” Caleb cocked his brow. Olivia examined her clothing and found nothing wrong with it. She was dressed in black jeans and a hoodie. She knows it’s not appropriate attire for a party, but she’s not going to one anyway, so it doesn’t matter. “Uh, yeah,” She said quietly. “Okay. Whatever! I just wanted to let you know that I will not be your babysitter for the entire night.” He growled. This made her flinch, but she still nodded politely. They drove for fifteen minutes in silence until she told him to pull over. “What?” He asked, perplexed. “I told you to stop the car,” Olivia said again. Caleb stopped the car, and she got out of it. “I know you don’t like me, and I don’t even expect you to, and I would definitely not ruin your night

“Livy, Livy.” Olivia heard someone call her name and shaking her a little. “Livy honey, get up.” A female voice said. Olivia opened her eyes slowly and saw two figures towering over her. It was a little dizzy at first, but after a few seconds, the picture became clearer. She slowly rose from the bench that had served as her bed the night before and noticed Eliana and William kneeling in front of her. “Good Gracious! You finally woke up, Olivia.” Eliana exclaimed. “Why were you sleeping here, Livy?” William inquired, a worried expression on his face. Because your son assumed I was already in bed and locked the door without even checking on me. Not that it was my fault, but I was severely beaten up by a stranger who could have been a rapist yesterday. “I woke up early, so I came here to take a breath of fresh air. But I guess I drifted off to sleep.” She said quietly. She shrugged in order to appear casual and convincing. “All right!” William was still suspicious, but he accepted

Olivia was delighted today. Not because she was beaten up, but because she met Cameron the day before. His innocent expression always makes her smile. Of course, she cannot support him, but she can be a better and stronger person for him. He is the only person she has left who is of her own blood. She went downstairs and sat with the Knights' family with great enthusiasm. “You look happy now, and you have done a good job hiding your bruise,” Eliana said. “Yes, I suppose you are correct. I feel better now, and I don't want people to know how clumsy I am.” She told her this while nervously laughing. “Are you going somewhere?” William inquired. “Uh, yeah, I am just going for a walk or something. To get some fresh air.” Olivia tried to reason. She didn't want to tell them the truth. “Well, that will be good for you,” William said, smiling. “I hope so.” She quickly ate some toast and drank some orange juice before leaving. She does not want them to question her about her eating habit

Olivia quietly packed all of her belongings. It had only been fifteen minutes since Caleb expressed his views about her. She gathered all of her thoughts and packed her bags. Since she had only two bags, it didn't take her long. It was one in the morning, and it was the perfect time for her to leave this house. She will be eternally grateful to the Knights for allowing her to stay in this house for so long. She greatly admires them for it. Olivia walked downstairs silently with her two bags, making no noises. Finally, she closed the door shut and exited their home for good. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined herself returning to this house. Not anytime soon, but it is the only place she can truly call her own. It was only a ten-minute walk from Knight's house. Olivia had kept the key with her all along. She entered her house after unlocking the door. Yes, indeed! After three long years, she finally entered her home. Tears welled up in her eyes almost immediately. Every mo

It was the day before the New Year, and the Knights were hard at work preparing for the New Year’s Eve party. After a few hours of work, they decided to take a break. While everyone was sitting on the couch munching on snacks, Olivia was sitting on the porch in the garden area, lost in her own thoughts. “Why are you causing yourself and Caleb pain, Olivia?” Eliana came to sit with her. “What do you mean?” Olivia asked her godmother. “Look at this picture.” Eliana showed her the photo of whose story she had told Caleb about. “Is this...” “Yes, it’s you and Caleb.” She narrated the same story to Olivia that she had told her son a few days ago. “Olivia, this is life. Ups and downs are part and parcel of it, but you shouldn't stop living it because you are scared of taking risks.” “I don't want to burden Caleb with my problems, Eliana. Maybe I am not right for him.” “That's Caleb's decision to make, don't you think? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and you will have all your an

After a little confession by Mason and Sia, both of them went home. Presently, Caleb and Olivia were sitting on the bed in Olivia's room; both of them were lost in their own thoughts. Caleb was rubbing her palm with his fingers. “I am glad that both of them finally got together,” Olivia said out of the blue. “Me too. Jason missed it, didn't he?” He looked at her. “Blame him for having a sleepover at Zach's place today.” Olivia rolled her eyes. After two minutes of silence, Olivia took a deep breath and finally told him what she had wanted to tell him for the past few weeks. “Caleb, thank you for everything that you have done for me.” “Olivia, don't thank me. I did what I had to do. “I don't see you upset or dealing with unwanted emotions or negative vibes.” He told her. “Why?” She asked him softly, looking at his eyes. “The same reason you saved Carson and me by taking your own life.” He told her. “It's not the same, Caleb.” She looked down. “Please explain to me how it's not

One month had passed, each and every day seemed to be easier than before. Jason and Olivia’s relationship was also working out just fine. Jason moved back to Knight’s place. Both had been catching up with each other’s lives, and there had been many moments where both of them broke down, but being together only made them strong and their bond stronger. Jason finally met his little brother, Cameron, who is a miniature version of him. Although at present, not only Olivia, but even Jason, is against the idea of telling their brother the truth. With time, yes. But not now. Now is not the right time. Steadily and gradually, Olivia was getting back to her normal self. Maybe not completely, but something is better than nothing, right? Olivia was sitting in Caleb’s room along with Mason and Sia when Caleb came in with the movie DVDs. “So, which movie do you guys want to watch?” he asked them while placing the DVDs on the bed. “Umm, how about the Avengers?” Mason suggested. “Cool,” Caleb s

Everyone was surprised yet ecstatic to find Olivia downstairs. None of them knew how Caleb managed to do the deed, but they were glad because, whatever he did, it had some positive effect on Olivia. Even though their goddaughter didn't say much, it was a step forward. Olivia was smiling a bit more. It was not a full-fledged smile, but nonetheless, it was a smile. She stopped being cooped up in her room, although she still refused to talk to anyone other than her godparents and Caleb. But she did talk to Carson and Claudia a bit as they were both staying back at the Knight's mansion again until Claudia gave birth to her child. During these two days, Olivia had settled into the Knights' home. She missed her friends, especially Jason, but she was terrified of meeting him. She feared him disappearing again. It was easier to stay away, but she knew that she would have to face him at some time or another. But what she didn't realize was that it would be so soon. Olivia was in her peacefu

Caleb opened his eyes, only to find Olivia sleeping peacefully beside him, her head on his chest and one of her hands holding his stomach. He gently removed a few strands of her hair that were falling into her eyes. There had always been something about her that had attracted him. He still can’t believe that Olivia went through so much in the past. At present, Caleb wanted to do nothing but help Olivia in every way he could. His thoughts were interrupted when his dad came into the room and signaled him to come downstairs. Reluctantly, he followed his father’s commands and found his parents sitting in the dining room. “Morning, mom and dad.” “Morning, Caleb. How did you and Olivia sleep?” His mother gently asked him. “Slept just fine. Olivia squirmed a little in the middle of the night, but everything was fine.” He gave a long sigh. “Caleb, give it some time. Everything will return to normal.” His dad tried to reassure him, but he cut him off. “Will it, dad? You don't

Caleb was sitting in a chair beside Olivia, where she was sleeping peacefully in a hospital bed. So much has happened in the last few hours that it was difficult to take it all in at once. When Livy shot herself, not only Caleb and Carson but even Dominic was shocked by her action. But luck was on their side. Just like in movies, the police choose a perfect time to show up with Jiggy and William. While police officers arrested Dominic and his troop, others rushed Olivia to the hospital, and immediately, William made it his own duty to treat Olivia. Both the brothers were shocked to learn that Jason had finally gained consciousness from coma during the operation. But unfortunately, his condition was still weak, so he couldn't come to the hospital. It's difficult to imagine Jason' situation. Instead of being surrounded by his family, he was awake only to find his sister missing, let alone in a case where she was herself in the middle of a situation of life and death. Fortunately, d

Olivia was struggling with the ropes. She was furious after she learned the truth and wanted to get out of this hell hole as soon as possible. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a dark, locked room. After a few minutes of yelling and screaming, a few guards and her dearest uncle arrived. The hatred in his eyes was evident. She could not believe that her very own uncle had destroyed her family. He not only tried to violate Jason for vengeance, but he also successfully killed her parents. The way he spoke about them radiated pure envy and animosity towards them. Olivia realized somewhere along the way that Dominic was hurt that he was an unwanted child of her grandfather before he was married. But she also knew that her grandfather and grandmother would never love him pretentiously. Olivia’s father also loved him all the same and never mistreated him. So Olivia refused to believe that he was not loved. Olivia tried to tell him that. But in return, she earned a hard

Olivia was following Dominic in her car. An hour passed, but still, his car didn't stop. She was being as discrete as possible. Olivia was desperate for answers, and she wanted to catch him red-handed. Olivia wanted revenge; she knew she was impulsive, but she wasn't thinking straight. She should have formed a plan or something, but she was going through her gut feelings. Even if she could not get any revenge on him, it would be fine as long as he gave her answers. Dominic is a dangerous man to deal with, and she knows that by now. After following him around for ninety minutes, she landed herself in a quiet alley. It was the same area that was a shortcut to Knight's home. The very same area she took when she was returning to her temporary home when she visited her brother, Cameron. But the strange thing was, his alley was not ninety minutes away from school. It was hardly half an hour away, yet Dominic’s car took so long to reach. Olivia felt uneasy in the pit of her stomach, but s
