The Betrayal Within Chapter 26
After dinner, Olivia said her goodbyes. “Thanks for having me, Maddie. Dinner was delicious and I had a great time,” she said with a charming smile.“Oh, anytime!” Maddie said warmly. “Let’s catch up properly soon.”Lucas gave her a quiet glance, his expression unreadable. Olivia returned it with a soft smile, her eyes hiding the storm brewing underneath.Once outside, the evening breeze hit her skin, cooling the heat of all the unspoken tension. She got into her car, slid into the driver’s seat, and exhaled deeply.“Pretending is exhausting,” she muttered to herself with a tired smile as she drove off.By the time she got home, the city lights had dimmed and silence settled into her apartment. She kicked off her heels, poured herself a glass of wine, and sank into the couch.She was barely two sips into her wine when her phone buzzed.“Hey mama. I want to see you tomorrow,” she got a text from Julian. She stared at the message, eyebrows raised. “Really?” She said to herself, surpris

Everything froze at that moment. The world around them faded into silence, like time itself was holding its breath. Her heart pounded in her chest, but her mind stayed sharp. She knew she had to act quickly, yet not send the wrong message.She looked up and locked eyes with him, her gaze steady but unreadable. Slowly, she reached out, her index finger brushing gently across his lips.“Not so fast,” she whispered, her voice low and teasing, laced with a warning.Her hand slid down, grazing his chest, feeling the tension coiled beneath his shirt. For a second, his breath hitched.She took a step back, turning slightly as if to walk away.But before she could take another step, he caught her wrist. His grip was firm but not forceful.“Don’t walk away from me,” he said, his voice husky. “Not when you just lit a fire and left it burning.”She turned her head slowly to face him again, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. “Maybe I wanted to see if you’d chase.”He pulled her a little c

Olivia took a delicate sip from her glass of wine, her eyes locked onto Maddie's as she set the glass down. "I think I can get you signed up for a ballet class," Olivia suggested, her voice laced with conviction.Maddie's expression was incredulous, a burst of laughter escaping her lips. "Ballet? You can't be serious. I'm not exactly the ballet type," she said.Olivia's face remained resolute, her gaze unwavering. "I'm completely serious, Maddie. Ballet would be incredibly beneficial for you. It strengthens your core muscles, which would make a significant difference in your overall physical fitness."Maddie raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued despite her initial reservations. "And what would people think if they learned I'm taking ballet classes? I'm not exactly a spring chicken, you know."Olivia's expression didn't waver. "Let's focus on the benefits, shall we? Besides, I thought we were working towards a common goal – you know, dealing with Lucas and the properties."Maddie's e

Maddie's eyes brimmed with tears as Lucas's hurtful words cut deep, especially with others present. "Are you serious right now?" she asked, her voice shaking with emotion. "Are you saying this is all my fault?" She struggled to hold back tears, her anger and hurt intensifying.Lucas's response was calm, yet infuriating. "You need to try harder, that's all."Maddie's anger boiled over. "Am I not trying hard enough? You've barely touched me in almost a year, and it's always because you're too busy. How is this my fault?" she demanded, her voice rising.Lucas's response was dismissive. "I hardly have time, you should understand that."Maddie's hurt turned to resentment. "Understand? Do you think I don't understand? I've been patient, supportive, and loving, but you seem to have forgotten what it means to be in a relationship. You're always working, always stressed, and always absent. When was the last time we had a real conversation, huh? When was the last time you showed me any real af

Olivia's mind spiraled into panic mode as she processed the news. "Who is this?" she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady despite the growing unease. "How is Julian? What happened?" She bombarded the stranger with questions, her anxiety intensifying with each passing second.The person on the other end of the line hesitated before responding, "I'm Daniel. Julian was in an accident. I'm on my way to the hospital now. I'll try to keep you updated if you'd like." Olivia's heart sank at the words, and she felt a lump form in her throat."Please text me the address immediately," she urged, her voice barely above a whisper.
