Olivia stood by the window of her room, gazing at the beautiful night outside, which sparkled with starlight and a bright full moon. Tonight, the atmosphere was so calm, but in her heart, everything felt like a storm that never subsided. She still couldn't believe that she was finally here, hanging out with her biological parents after so many years apart, even though the atmosphere remained a little stiff and awkward, as if every word she wanted to say was stuck in her throat.
However, Jonathan's fate haunted her; his departure left a gap no one could fill. Despite their brief encounter, there was an unspoken bond—something stronger than words. They had shared space in the same womb, and it felt like a heavy loss, as if she were losing a part of herself.
Now, Jonathan's departure felt like an impenetrable stone wall, leaving a gaping wound and a deep ache in Olivia's heart. She closed her eyes for a moment, wishing she could erase all this sadness and replace it
"Um..... " Olivia opened her eyes and saw Zayden sleeping by her side. She smiled as she observed her husband's handsome face and his peaceful and sound sleep."Is he really tired?" murmured Olivia with a wide smile as she thought about the long night's activities.A night filled with beautiful memories and moments of intimacy that never seemed to end—yes, a night where they both seemed to lose track of time and the world around them. Every second was precious, like the moments where they whispered softly to each other, sharing laughter until it was difficult to distinguish between the sound of laughter and the sound of a heartbeat that blended in with each other's warmth.The burning desire in the heart appears to vanish for a brief period before their presence, which is truly complementary to one another, takes its place. Olivia wanted to make up for the days they were apart, when time seemed to slow down and only longing could fill the void. Now, when she remembered that day, it fe
After everyone was dressed, they decided to have breakfast together on the sofa in the room while enjoying the beautiful view from the window that directly overlooks the Sanders mansion's back garden. The large, luxurious garden was a paradise, with the swimming pool sparkling in the warm morning sun.Around the pool, there were various types of flowers in bloom, emitting a fresh scent that made the atmosphere very pleasant. They chatted intimately while eating breakfast, a menu that looked so tempting. They enjoyed toast topped with fresh fruit jam, a perfectly spiced omelet, and a refreshing glass of orange juice. It was obvious that this simple moment meant so much, in the midst of the natural beauty that spoiled the eyes, making them feel grateful to be able to enjoy togetherness in such a special way. For a brief period, their friendship and laughter seemed to take the place of all their issues and busyness."So today, we're taking Daddy and Mom to Mateus' place?" asked Olivia.T
"I can finally face the person who killed my husband!" Ariana exclaimed, causing Jakson to open his eyes. He was surprised to see Ariana standing in front of him, and behind her, Zayden, with her sharp eyes."Wh-what are you doing here?" asked Jakson, becoming agitated. He started to struggle, but the chains binding him were strong enough to overwhelm him."Am I wasting my time rebelling when I know I can't escape?" Ariana said this as she walked out of the cell. After a few seconds, she returned with a golf club and a whip in her hand."What do you want to do? Why are you carrying that?" asked Jakson apprehensively."Why do you feel scared just by looking at this?" Ariana inquired. "Didn't you arrogantly kill my husband and make Olivia hurt?" Ariana was very annoyed. "Don't tell me you're scared because you saw this.""Zayden Sanders! Please give me a chance; I can definitely be of use to you. Make me your partner; I'll definitely be more useful t
“Is this the United Kingdom's royal house?” asked Olivia when they arrived.“Yes, this is the United Kingdom. Zayden replied, "This is the home of Archil and Javeera."In front of Olivia stood a United Kingdom royal castle that really fascinated her, like it came from a fairy tale she read as a child. The building was towering, with magnificent architecture that made anyone feel so small, coupled with ornamental details that emphasized the luxury typical of the British kingdom. Several formally dressed guards stood guard at the entrance area, looking dashing and serious, as if guarding the precious secrets kept within the castle's walls.The large windows gleaming in the sunlight added a sense of elegance to the building, making Olivia imagine how beautiful the view inside would be. And let's not forget the luxurious cars lined up in front, shiny and expensive-looking, making Olivia even more amazed. All this time, she thought the Sanders resid
The following day, after breakfast, Zayden went with the men to do some horse riding and archery training. It turned out that they didn't have that much time to walk around. Ariana joined Olivia, and the women were practicing shooting exercises in the training room.“Oliv, can you ride a horse?” asked Ariana.“I've tried; it's just that I haven't ridden a horse in a long time,” Olivia replied.“I'll ask the ranch manager to prepare a horse that is completely tame for you. After shooting practice, would you like to try riding a horse? asked Ariana.“Yes, Sis.”Olivia saw Ariana as more cheerful, as if the burden on her shoulders had just been lifted from her. Even after the incident, Olivia did not expect to be close to Ariana again.The atmosphere inside the shooting range practice room mesmerized Olivia as soon as she entered. The room was much larger than she had imagined, complete with all the sop
However, seeing the enthusiasm of the people around her, she began to feel excited to join in the fun, looking forward to the matches that were about to begin and feeling the warmth of togetherness amidst all the flashy crowds.“Olivia, come here,” Ariana called.“Can I sit with the ladies over there?” Olivia questioned Zayden.“Go ahead. I'm getting ready for the tournament,” Zayden said.“All right. I hope you do well,” Olivia encouraged her husband.Olivia sat down to join the women and immediately started talking about the tournament.“What tournament is being held today?” Olivia asked.“An object-shooting riding tournament,” Ariana replied.“They're going to be cowboys,” chuckled Rainy, Javeera's sister.And there was a sound from the podium area in the field area, signaling that the long-awaited tournament was finally about to begin
“Wow, that looks like it's going to be interesting,” Kimberly said, looking at the field with enthusiasm. She kept looking at her husband, who was already preparing on the field with his team.“They're so dashing,” Evelyn said.“Hopefully this time they will win,” said Olivia.“You guys just calm down. They will win; they never lose. In fact, you should be worried about their opponents; after all, why do they continue to compete if it is clear who will be the winner?” said Ariana.“As usual. They just want to charm and show off their skills,” said Javeera.“So is it going to be boring?” asked Kimberly.“Of course not. When they show up, we'll enjoy it. Yes, that's another advantage of our husbands,” said Javeera, making the others chuckle.Olivia looked up at Zayden, who was wearing a blue cap and a white and blue team uniform that matched her perfectl
“Oliv!” Zayden arrived at the room Olivia was in, his body covered in sweat and his breathing ragged from running from the field to this resting place. He had really had a grueling time on the field, contributing to every play. With his t-shirt soaking wet, Zayden felt extremely tired, but somehow, out of concern, he didn't care. When the door to the room opened, the fresh scent of air conditioning greeted him, and there, he saw Olivia asleep on the bed with her eyes closed. Ariana seemed to have just finished checking on her unconscious wife. “What about her? What's going on?” Zayden asked Ariana with concern and a very troubled look in his eyes. “Calm down, your wife is fine,” replied Ariana as she put the medical equipment back into her bag. “What's wrong? She wouldn't have fainted if she was fine,” Zayden protested in annoyance. “Calm down, Zayden. Olivia threw up quite a lot and collapsed from exhaustion,” Aria
