Olive's POV~A deluge of rain showered and whacked the windows, making me come back to my senses after being caught by his sensations.It was stormy outside and lightning relentlessly flashed out of clouds, drawing our attention. It could be the last night I saw this view while my heart was shaking.When he mentioned, Love, my heart sank. He wanted me to stay and love him. I was touched by his tone and his honesty. He was behaving like a mafia badboy in novels who fell in love with a naive girl. However, his possessiveness scared me.His true sentiments were emitting hot air suddenly, as though he had suppressed them for a long time and something made him unleash it.Did he start loving me? I couldn't say. I thought he wasn't a man of dedication, devotion, and Love.But were I right? I don't know.I had a relationship before and my ex didn't keep me grounded like Edward did. In the end, he cheated on me with the wench who hated me.Now, a man who wasn't less than a monster respected m

Olive's POV~Wasn't he in his office? I expected him to call Kit who might be around. But he came in person. I couldn't predict it. What he said soothed my heart. Was he truly sincere about us?The thought of how he tried to protect me kindled my heart."Why did you come?"His arm lay around my shoulder, "because I missed you."I felt the heat on my cheeks. It burned hot. My eyes rolled at Huxley's smiling face."Now, everything is alright!"Huxley stated and walked away in relief.I looked embarr*ssed. Recently, Edward came to confess his feelings frankly. At first, it was when we were alone, and now he shamelessly uttered his heart in front of others.It might take a long time for me to get used to his new tempers. However, I was scared to be surprised by his vicious side again."It is getting late. I must go to school."He kissed my forehead, and I dodged his arms. Going to the door, I mentioned, "Don't you think I am left behind enough?""Come on! Stop worrying about that. I had m

Olive's POV~Calling a cab, I looked back. Elenore could cause chaos in front of others. The school was the only place I felt safe, but she wanted to make it h*ll the next day.A while later, I saw a bakery. The scent of bread had spread in the street. I was close to home and nothing could have happened if I walked fast.I called Mira and told her not to worry, and that I would be home in ten minutes.Going to the bakery, I bought a few loaves of bread. Walking out, I looked up at the sky. It was getting rainy.Heading home, I turned into a lane to make the path shorter when I felt two men were following me."d*mn!"Two other men appeared in front of me, and I could no longer go back or proceed ahead."Who the h*ll are you?"I was ready to beat them but all of them attacked at once. I kicked the first one and hit the second one with my backpack.Abruptly, one of them sprayed something on my face. My vision blurred and my nostrils burned. I coughed.They charged forward to catch me. I

Olive's POV~It was Friday, the next day after falling into the water.Layla called me and indicated her trip's schedule had changed. She was impatient to see me. I was certain that the incident scared her so much. I had to see her.Mira knocked on the door to see if I was awake. I let her in."Can you come..."She saw me dressed and ready to go to the university so she cut her words.Her expression seemed intimidating."You are not tending to leave the house, are you?""I am exactly meaning that!"She shook her head and approached, her arm reached out, and her fingers curled around my arms."No! Did you forget what happened last night? You were dangling with death!"Thank you for reminding me but I'm already pissed off. Going to school could ease my mental pain. I wasn't the type to hide and cry for their misery. I wasn't brought up that way."I know, but I have important courses."I wanted to be around my friend. It was suffocating to stay home."There is no way!"Edward appeared in

Olive's POV~Gulping down the lump in my throat, I sat across the full-length window in our bedroom viewing the courtyard with the fountain in the center. I didn't bother to turn on the light.Looking at the cloudy dark sky, I expected snow. Suddenly, I discovered Simon driving the car to the courtyard and Edward walked to him. They left, and it made my heart heavier.Did I pry too much? Perhaps it was better to be patient.
