That night, Olivia sat in the living room, staring at her phone screen. The threatening message from Hunter was still visible. Her hands trembled, but her eyes were cold. She wasn't afraid—just more aware that the man wasn't done playing dirty.Daniel walked in carrying a plate of snacks, but froze when he saw Olivia’s expression.“Miss Olivia… is something wrong?”Olivia handed him the phone. “Read it yourself.”Daniel skimmed the message quickly, his face tightening. “A threat. This has crossed the line.”Olivia nodded. “I want you to install additional cameras outside the gate and at the back door. And activate the high-level security alarm tonight.”“I’ll take care of it now,” Daniel replied promptly, then rushed out of the house.Olivia stood and headed to Eliana’s room. She opened the door gently, making sure her daughter was still sound asleep, clutching her favorite white bunny plushie. The little face calmed her heart, giving her the strength she needed.“I won’t let anyone h
That morning, the sky was overcast, as if foreshadowing the storm about to erupt in the courtroom. Olivia stood in front of the mirror, dressed in an elegant black suit. Her eyes were sharp, but inside, she couldn’t deny the nervousness eating away at her.Daniel knocked on the bedroom door.“The car is ready, Miss Olivia. The attorney is waiting outside.”Olivia nodded. “Make sure Eliana doesn’t know about the hearing. Keep her at home with the nanny and assign two extra bodyguards.”“It’s already taken care of.”A few minutes later, the black car sped toward the courthouse. Olivia sat with clenched fists, her thoughts drifting to the past—back when she still believed in Hunter Jackson’s love, when she still thought the Jackson family would truly accept her and her daughter.Now? That trust had been shattered by betrayal.---The courtroom was thick with tension. Journalists crowded outside, trying to capture a glimpse of Olivia Grace, who had become the media’s latest obsession. On
That morning, the sky over Jakarta was clear, but the atmosphere inside Olivia’s house remained tense. The custody verdict would be announced today, and everything could change in an instant.Daniel had been up since dawn, coordinating security, ensuring the media couldn’t surround the house, and inspecting every vehicle going in and out. He knew this wasn’t just another day—this was the day that would decide Olivia and Eliana’s future.Olivia wore a simple yet dignified cream dress. She stared at her reflection in the mirror and whispered, “This isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about the truth.”Daniel entered with a file in his hand. “There’s something you need to see before we head to court.”Olivia took the folder, opened it, and her eyes widened.“This… this is from our investigation team?”Daniel nodded. “We infiltrated the internal records of Jackson Group. What we found could turn everything around.”---In the courtroom, all parties were already seated. Hunter sat at the p
Olivia Grace never imagined that tonight would become the most devastating night of her life.She stood frozen behind the glass doors of the lavish nightclub, her body refusing to move as her eyes locked onto her husband—Hunter Jackson—laughing and touching the arm of his ex-girlfriend, Sophia Joy.Purple and blue neon lights danced through the air, the music thundered, and the guests' laughter filled the room—but Olivia's world had gone completely silent. No sound, only the racing beat of her heart battling the crashing waves of emotion inside her."Why would he cheat on me with Sophia Joy? What did I lack that made him turn away?" her mind screamed.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought them back with everything she had. She wouldn't cry. Not in front of everyone silently laughing at her misery.She had trusted Hunter completely. He came home late every night, claiming overtime. She never checked his phone—because she believed love shouldn't be built on suspicion.But everythi
Olivia Grace walked away from the nightclub with Ethan. The sharp clack of her heels echoed against the floor, each step firm despite the storm raging inside her. Anger and disappointment collided in her chest like a violent tempest.Behind them, Hunter Jackson clenched his fists, his jaw tight. Watching his wife leave with another man—especially Ethan, his former best friend—made his blood boil.“Hey!” Hunter pushed through the partying crowd and marched straight toward Ethan, eyes blazing. “Don’t tell me you’re the one who told Olivia about this birthday party?”Ethan raised an eyebrow, smirking with ease. “Me? Telling your wife?” He let out a short laugh and crossed his arms. “I’ve never even met your wife before. I came here because I was invited by Sophia Joy.”“Don’t lie to me, Ethan!” Hunter pointed a trembling finger at him, rage pulsing through every word. “I know you used to love Olivia. So don’t act like your appearance here is some coincidence. You’re here to take her back
Olivia Grace’s body felt weaker with every step. Cold sweat drenched her temples as she rushed, head down, toward the restroom of the luxurious shopping mall, one hand covering her mouth, fighting the urge to vomit everything out.The moment she entered a stall, she dropped to her knees in front of the toilet and threw up violently. Her stomach emptied itself mercilessly—for the third time today, maybe more. Her whole body trembled.“What’s happening to me?” she whispered between shallow breaths. “I wasn’t even feeling sick before.”Her hands trembled as she splashed cold water on her face at the sink. The mirror reflected a pale face, tired eyes. Her makeup had all but disappeared, making her look even more exhausted than she already felt.Her stomach was still churning, but this time, it wasn’t just physical. Her mind was in turmoil. Everything from the night before played in loops— the birthday party that wasn’t hers, the guilty look in Hunter’s eyes, and Ethan, the man from her pa
Olivia Grace sat in the luxurious car owned by her husband, Hunter Jackson. Her face was pale—not just from the nausea of the newly discovered pregnancy, but from the storm of emotions raging inside her. She couldn’t believe he had the audacity to drag her home like that."Hunter, let me go! You can’t just pull me around like that in public!" Olivia shouted, yanking her arm from Hunter’s firm grip.Hunter kept his eyes on the road, his jaw clenched tightly. “I’m your husband, Olivia. I have the right to bring you home. Did you really think I’d let you spend the night with your ex?”The jealousy burning inside him was reaching its limit.“I just needed a quiet place to think! You don’t know anything about what I’m going through right now!” Olivia shot back, her voice raised.Hunter pulled into the driveway of their grand estate. A heavy silence hung between them as they entered the house. Once the door shut behind them, Olivia turned to face him with fire in her eyes.“What were you th
Olivia Grace sat quietly in the backyard of her house. The morning breeze gently swayed the loose strands of her hair as they danced freely around her shoulders. In her hands, a cup of warm tea released a calming aroma. For a moment, she closed her eyes, trying to forget all the arguments and doubts clouding her marriage with Hunter Jackson.But the serenity didn’t last long.Suddenly, from behind the bushes, a masked man emerged in silence. With swift, practiced movements, he grabbed Olivia from behind, clamping his hand over her mouth. Olivia froze in shock, her body tense. The tea slipped from her hands, spilling onto the grass. She struggled, but it was useless. He was too strong.“Mmmhh...!” Olivia tried to scream, but her voice was muffled by the rough hand covering her mouth. Her eyes widened in fear.Seconds later, Olivia's body went limp. She fainted in the arms of her captor. Effortlessly, the man lifted her up and vanished into the trees, leaving behind a steaming teacup an

The morning sun had just swept over the city as Olivia sat in her study, staring at the glowing laptop screen without really seeing anything. Her fingers clutched a cup of coffee that had long gone cold, but her mind was still consumed by what had happened the night before.The office door creaked open. Daniel, her trusted assistant, stepped in with a worried expression.“Miss Olivia… I just saw the online news. It looks like Mr. Hunter’s family is starting to take this matter public.”Olivia looked up. “What do you mean?”Daniel handed her a tablet. On the screen were photos of Olivia and Eliana in front of the house, with a deliberately provocative headline:“Unfaithful Wife! Olivia Grace Kicks Out Husband and In-Laws From Luxury Home”Olivia’s jaw tightened as she read each sentence with blazing eyes.“They twisted the narrative. Turned me into the villain,” she muttered, almost growling.Daniel hesitated. “Should we release a statement, Miss? A clarification?”Olivia put the table
Hospital corridors suddenly felt hotter than before. Shopia Joy sat stiffly on the VIP lounge sofa, her face tight with tension, while Madam Vivian paced the floor, rage simmering just beneath the surface.They were just about to head home when Hunter Jackson stormed in, his face flushed red, footsteps heavy with fury.“Olivia Grace has completely lost her mind!” Hunter growled, slamming his phone onto the table.“She just kicked me out of the house! Out of the company too!”Madam Vivian froze mid-step. “What do you mean, Hunter? Kicked out of the house? Are you saying… none of us can go back there anymore?”Hunter nodded grimly, his jaw clenched. “That’s right, Mom. Olivia stationed five guards around the house. None of us are allowed in.”Shopia’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What about our things?”Hunter let out a harsh breath. “All packed up. Left outside the house. Not just my stuff—yours too.”“Unbelievable!” Shopia shouted, springing to her feet. “She has no right to do that!
“I’m not a weak woman, Jackson! I’ll make you regret this!” Olivia screamed, her voice echoing through the walls of the house.Hunter Jackson stood at the doorway, his face as cold as unmelted snow. His eyes locked on Olivia’s, unblinking, as if measuring how much of her fury he could endure.“Eliana is sick. And you… you didn’t even show up when she needed her father for three nights straight!” Olivia stepped forward, her fists clenched at her sides. “What matters more than your own child’s life, huh?! Wealth? Status? Your pride?!”Hunter opened his mouth to speak, but Olivia cut him off.“Don’t. I don’t need excuses from someone who wasn’t there when I cried alone in a hospital hallway!” Her voice cracked, full of pain and betrayal.Hunter exhaled slowly, trying to remain calm. “I didn’t care that Eliana was in the hospital. You knew that, didn’t you—”“And somehow, that’s my fault?!” Olivia snapped, her eyes blazing. “You didn’t even lift a finger when I was kidnapped while pregnan
The luxury boutique in the heart of the city was quiet, filled only with the scent of expensive perfume and soft classical music playing in the background. But the tranquility shattered in an instant.“What do you mean all my cards were declined?!” Madam Vivian’s voice rang out sharply, echoing through the marble-lined room.The female cashier flinched. “I’m sorry, Madam... we tried all three of your cards. Each transaction was rejected by the bank’s system.”“I’m a VIP customer! I’ve been shopping here for over twenty years! Try again!” she snapped, slamming her diamond-adorned hand on the counter.The cashier hesitated, then ran the card once more. The result was the same.“I’m sorry, Madam. Your accounts appear to be... frozen.”Heads turned. Several customers glanced over; a few already had their phones out, recording. Madam Vivian’s cheeks flushed—not with rage, but with shame.Scowling, she reached into her Hermes bag, yanked out her phone, and made a call.---In a sleek, high-
Eliana slowly opened her eyes. Her head felt heavy, her vision was blurry, and her entire body was weak. She tried to sit up, but her arms felt powerless. The air was damp and foul. As she glanced around, she realized she was in a small, dark room—the walls were made of rough concrete, and a single dim light hung from the ceiling.“Where... am I?” she whispered weakly.Her hands were tied to a metal chair with strong nylon rope. In the corner of the room, a small camera pointed directly at her face. Not far away, her stuffed bunny lay on the floor, dirty and ragged.Footsteps echoed from outside. Eliana held her breath. The iron door creaked open painfully, and a masked man stepped inside. He was tall, with heavy steps, carrying a tray with a bottle of water and a piece of bread.“Here. Eat. You need energy,” the man said gruffly.“I want to go home…” Eliana murmured, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Please… Mama must be looking for me…”The man said nothing. He placed the tray on the
Olivia shoved open the door to her house with a forceful push. Her heart was still pounding, overwhelmed by anxiety for Eliana. But her steps came to an abrupt halt when the pungent scent of alcohol hit her—followed by the unmistakable sound of laughter echoing from the living room.With furrowed brows, Olivia quietly stepped toward the source of the noise. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw Hunter Jackson, her husband, lounging on the sofa with a whiskey glass in hand. Beside him sat Sophia Joy—his second wife. The two were laughing lightly, as if the world belonged to them.“You?” Olivia whispered, stunned.Hunter turned his head, momentarily surprised, but his lips quickly curled into a smile. “Darling… you're home.”Olivia stepped closer, her voice sharp. “Shouldn’t you be at the hospital? Joe is in critical condition.”Sophia stood up, stomping her foot. “This isn’t your concern! Stay out of our happiness!”“Happiness?” Olivia let out a bitter laugh, her eyes narrowing. “Yo
