Old Dreams Lost to the Years Chapter 18
Every trace of warmth vanished from Callan's face, a dark look settling in his eyes.Olivia's heart leaped into her throat. Her fingertips turned icy as she asked shakily, "What exactly does he want?"Graham was silent for a moment before answering."He wants to see you...""Fine.""No." Callan's answer came immediately. "That'll only give him another hostage.""But I'll be able to see Maisie." Olivia's voice caught. "I can't leave her there alone. Let me go."Callan instinctively tightened his arms around her, holding her protectively against him.After a long silence, he spoke into the phone, his voice cold."Pinpoint the location. Set up a perimeter and hold position. Nobody moves until I give the word."After hanging up, he rested his forehead against the top of Olivia's head. His voice was carefully controlled, but a faint tremor betrayed how tense he was."Trust me. I won't let anything happen to either of you.""I know."Following the address they'd traced, Olivia arrived at the

Olivia's rejection had been clean and decisive, leaving him no room to hope for anything more.Callan stood there in silence for a long moment.Then, out of nowhere, he said something so crazy that even he couldn't believe the words had left his mouth."What about marriage?"Olivia's pen paused mid-stroke.Callan looked at her, his voice low and steady, as though he were suggesting something perfectly ordinary."I don't have time to date either. My family keeps trying to set me up with people, and I'm sick of dealing with it. So if you're open to it, we could have a marriage of convenience."The room went completely silent.Olivia looked up at him.For once, a flicker of surprise appeared in her usually calm eyes, as though she were trying to decide whether he was joking.Callan didn't smile. His expression was so serious it was almost solemn. Even his breathing grew quieter as he waited for her answer, as though he were awaiting a verdict.He had imagined she might get angry, think he

Fiona had spent ten whole years chasing after Callan, never once giving up.She had gone to incredible lengths to get close to him. She found out his schedule, engineered chance encounters, and even pulled strings to learn what his type was.She changed her hair, changed the way she dressed, and tried to mold herself into someone she wasn't.She bent over backward to get close to him and win his attention, swallowing every ounce of pride along the way.But Callan had never so much as looked her way.He was like ice that never seemed to thaw, distant and restrained with everyone around him.The day Fiona finally decided to give up, she'd comforted herself with the thought that a man like Callan simply wasn't capable of loving anyone. There was no shame in failing to win over someone like that.And yet now, that same cold, unreachable man was treating Olivia with a tenderness Fiona had never imagined him capable of.He patiently smoothed Olivia's clothes back into place whenever they sli

When Damon said Callan's name, each syllable seemed ground out through clenched teeth. His fists tightened until his knuckles turned white.Callan's expression was cold as he stepped in front of Olivia, shielding her from Damon. He looked down at Damon, his voice carrying a rare sharpness."And who exactly are you, showing up at my wife's door in the middle of the night and harassing her?""Your wife?" A cold, humorless laugh escaped Damon. "Since when is she your wife?"He drew back his fist, ready to swing at Callan."Damon!"Olivia's heart lurched. She groped her way forward as fast as she could and threw herself between them."Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"Her voice trembled slightly with anger, but every word was firm."I'm telling you one last time. My life and my daughter have absolutely nothing to do with you. Get out of my home. Now."Damon's fist froze in midair, his gaze fixed on Olivia.Though small and slender, she stood between them like an impenetrable wall

As if sensing Damon's intense stare, Olivia said bluntly, "I told you. My daughter has nothing to do with you."With that, she ignored him and let Graham help her into the car.The moment they were inside, Olivia confronted him."Didn't I tell you not to bring Maisie back to Calverton yet? I'm in no shape to take care of her properly right now, especially with this legal case to deal with."Graham shrugged."You know your own daughter. She's as stubborn as a mule, just like you. Her dad got called away on an emergency assignment, and she insisted on coming back to Calverton to see you."She even snuck off to the airport by herself and scared everyone half to death. At that point, I didn't have much choice but to bring her."Seeing that Olivia was still upset, Maisie snuggled into her arms and took off her sunglasses.Olivia was about to stop her when Maisie suddenly tipped her face up and kissed the scar on her eyelid."Mommy, Daddy Graham told me your eyes got hurt. A kiss will make t

Damon had barely taken a step toward the exit when Fiona rushed out of another interview room and clutched his arm."Damon, it was an accident! Olivia was just unlucky. You have to believe me. You used to trust me more than anyone! Please help me. I don't want to stay here..."Damon regarded her coldly, bitter self-mockery rising inside him.Had he really let a woman like this make a fool of him all these years?What a joke."Help you?" His lips curved into a cold smile. "Sure..."A flicker of joy stirred in Fiona, but before it could fully take hold, his next words snuffed it out."I'll help you. I'll make sure the police get every last piece of evidence they need to send you to prison."His expression cold, Damon pulled his arm free."I've already turned over your professional records, surgical files, and the evidence that you planned to hurt Olivia to the authorities. Once Olivia's case is resolved, I'll pursue a wrongful-death claim against you for the medical malpractice that kill
