Olivia

The city stretched below us, a blur of glowing lights through the airplane window. We were finally back in New York.

I pressed my forehead against the glass, watching as the clouds thinned and the skyline came into view. Something in me ached.

I didn’t want to leave China. I wasn’t ready for all the noise that came with home.

Sebastian sat beside me, quiet. He didn’t have to say anything—I knew he didn’t want to leave either, but work was calling, and people had been practically clawing at him for days.

On my end, the masked model buzz alone had stirred up more noise than i expected.

As much as I wanted to pretend we weren’t living in this circus, we were. And the ringmaster was calling.

The jet touched down, and of course—rain. Heavy and loud, slamming against the tarmac like some kind of dramatic welcome back.

Our driver was already waiting. We slid into the car, and it carried us through Manhattan’s storm-soaked streets.

We finally reached home. The mansion stood tall and

    “I believe you.” Three simple words. That was it. No dramatic speech, no demands for proof. Just… that. And yet, those words punched straight into my chest like a shot of adrenaline. My heart dropped no, crashed in the best way possible. I didn’t even realize I’d been holding my breath until it came out in a slow, shaky exhale. “Kiss me, Sebastian… please,” she whispered, leaning in so close it felt like she was about to crawl inside my skin and stay there forever. Her voice was barely there, but it shattered me all the same. I didn’t hesitate. Couldn’t. The second her warm breath brushed against my lips, my mouth curved into the smallest, stupidest smile. Her fingers fisted into my shirt, clutching like I was the only solid thing in her world. It was the kind of touch that said I’m scared to let go, because what if you disappear again? “God, I missed you,” she breathed, and it was like she’d just handed me back my air. I closed the gap, crashing my mouth against hers not vi

  • Dear Husband, My Turn To Love You    Chapter 129

    Sebastian “Olivia…” Her name barely left my lips before she closed the space between us, her mouth crashing against mine in a kiss so unexpected it stole the air straight from my lungs. For a split second, my mind blanked—caught between shock and the way her soft, desperate lips moved against mine. Instinct took over, and my hands found her waist, pulling her closer until there wasn’t a breath left between us. God… it had been days. Days of emptiness. Days of watching her walk away in my head over and over again. And now she was here warm, trembling, real. Our lips moved in a rhythm older than our fights, older than the hurt. My heart slammed against my ribs, almost relieved, like it had been holding its breath all this time. When we finally pulled apart, gasping for air, I didn’t dare let go. My palm cupped her cheek, my thumb brushing over skin that felt colder than I remembered. Her eyes… swollen, rimmed red, glassy like she’d been drowning in her own storm. I searched her fa

    Olivia “Dad?” My voice was quieter now, steady but tinged with something softer. “Yes?” “Thank you,” I said, meeting his eyes. “I want to talk to him.” The corner of his mouth lifted in a small, knowing smile, warm, approving. “Good.” Thinking about it now—really putting myself in Sebastian’s shoes—it was impossible to ignore the truth. All those years I had paraded around with Phillip, flaunting my recklessness, I had no right to sit on some moral high ground and burn with rage over one mistake. Not when mine had been deliberate. Calculated. I wasn’t supposed to be the kind of woman who found forgiveness impossible. I didn’t want to be that woman. And right then, my mind was crystal clear, no more circling the drain of anger or wallowing in betrayal. I knew what I was going to do. For the past week, what I’d been doing wasn’t talking to my husband, it was unloading my pain on him like a weapon, never once stopping to think about what it had done to him. About what he was

    Olivia We sat in silence for a while, the air between us heavy but oddly steady. My heartbeat had slowed, my breathing no longer shallow and panicked. It felt like I’d finally pulled my head out from under a sheet of ice water, like I could actually draw air into my lungs without it scraping my insides raw. “Breathe,” my dad said gently, breaking the quiet. “So… what do you intend to do about Sebastian?” The question sliced right through me. My fingers twitched in my lap, and I felt my pulse skip. I’d told myself I could shove this deep down lock it up somewhere inside me where it wouldn’t claw its way out for a while. But this was Sebastian. My husband. The man who had, in so many ways, been my entire world. With him, time didn’t just pass it stilled. He was the steady flame in my darkest nights, the one person who could bring light to shadows I’d thought were permanent. “I… I don’t know, Dad.” My voice was barely more than a whisper. He leaned back slightly, studying me like h

    I nodded slowly, eyes burning as I wiped them with the back of my hand. I didn’t care how I looked. I just needed to breathe. I just needed to feel something that wasn’t betrayal or heartbreak.“I didn’t know who else to turn to. Mom’s… she’s strong. Too strong. I feel like if I told her this, it would break her heart, and somehow, that would hurt worse than what he did.”He didn’t interrupt. He didn’t offer fake wisdom or useless comfort. He just listened, his presence steady, anchoring me.“What Sebastian did, drugged or not, hurts,” he finally said. “And you don’t just snap back from that. Anyone who expects you to just ‘move on’ has no idea what pain is.”I exhaled shakily and looked down at my hands like they had all the answers. “I keep wondering if maybe… maybe I should just forgive him,” I whispered. “Isn’t that what marriage is supposed to be? Fighting through the worst, staying when it’s hard? I thought I could, but… every time I look at him, I don’t see us. I just see her,

  • Dear Husband, My Turn To Love You    Chapter 127

    OliviaI sat on the edge of the pool, my bare legs submerged in the water up to my calves. The surface shimmered beneath the late afternoon sun, cool against my skin, but not cool enough to wash away the fog of exhaustion clinging to me. The water was cold, sure, but it didn’t make me feel anything. I just sat there, hollow and dazed, like a ghost in my own skin. I was tired. Tired of thinking. Tired of pretending. Tired of holding everything in like it didn’t threaten to crush me from the inside out. I just... needed someone to care enough to listen.A soft pair of footsteps broke through the quiet, and I didn’t even turn my head when one of the housemaids approached.“Excuse me, Miss Olivia,” she said gently, “but your mother asked someone to bring you back. She won’t be returning home today, but she said she wants to see you in her office.”I nodded politely, forcing a tight smile. “Alright, thank you.”She bowed slightly and walked off. I sat there for a few seconds longer, stari
