LOGINchapter # 11 ____ Mrs. Mason’s room was quiet and warm, wrapped in the soft glow of the bedside lamp. Alexander lay beside his mother, resting his head gently in her lap. Her fingers moved slowly through his hair as she looked down at him with a mother’s quiet concern. “You look a little tired today,” Mrs. Mason said softly. Alexander let out a small sigh. “Yeah… there’s been a lot of work at the office lately. I’m preparing for a major project, so things have been a little hectic.” Mrs. Mason’s fingers paused for a moment. “Alex… are you still looking for Cassian?” Alexander’s expression changed instantly. He lifted his head and sat upright, his features becoming serious. “yes...i will find him anyhow” His voice carried the weight of anger that had been buried deep inside him. “Don’t torment Olivia.” “Mom, I don’t want to hear anything about this.” Mrs. Mason’s eyes filled with sadness. “But, son… what is Olivia’s fault in all of this?” Alexander’s jaw tightened. “S
“You should be happy now.” “Happy?” I scoffed. “I’ll be happy when your brother dies by my hand.” Her face changed instantly. “If you kill my brother, then what will you do afterward?” she asked, her voice trembling. “Will you kill me too?” She swallowed. “If that’s what you want, then do it now.” “Who knows? You might not get another chance after this.” I stared at her. “Not now, baby,” I murmured coldly. “Not now.” I stepped closer. “I’ll make you suffer so much that your brother will come running to me himself.” A faint smile appeared on her lips. I frowned. “Why are you smiling?” I demanded. “Did I say something funny? Am I telling jokes here?” “I know he…” Her voice faltered. “He’ll never come.” My expression hardened. Her tongue was running far too freely today, and the sheer confidence in her words was making my blood boil. In an instant, I caught her jaw firmly and forced her to look at me. “He’ll come.” My voice dropped to a dangerous whisper. “He has t
chapter # 9 OLIVIA POV.. My hand had healed quite a bit over the past week, so now I was in the courtyard with Samuel, planting new saplings. The soil was damp and cool beneath my fingers, and the afternoon sun was soft on my shoulders. My hands muddy, and Samuel was beside me, laughing at how badly I was doing it. That's when I heard the sharp click of heels on the stone path. Mrs. Mason. She approached us with that perfect, soft smile of hers. "Wow," she said, stopping right in front of us, her gaze flicking from the mud on my hands to Samuel. "The garden looks beautiful." I smile and looked back at her.... “Olivia, I think it’s time you started taking care of the kitchen as well. You should begin helping with the household chores.” I turned to her, stunned. Is Mrs. Mason really giving me this task? "Me? You want me to... look after the kitchen?" “Yes… your husband said it’s time to start giving her some responsibilities.” I almost laughed bitterly. And h

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. __ Her injured arm was resting against her body, supported carefully by her other hand. Alexander walked closer and reached down to wake her. Up close, he noticed how exhausted she looked. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Her lips were dry, and the usual color had disappeared from her face, leaving her complexion pale and slightly sallow. She looked even weaker than before. “Olivia.” Alexander shook her gently. She startled awake, immediately sitting upright as fear flashed across her eyes. “Go to your room.” At his words, Olivia looked at him as if she had misheard him. Your room. Did she really have a room here? There was a faint, wounded disbelief in her eyes, but Alexander was unaffected by her expr

I won't tolerate it.”Olivia instinctively took two steps backward.Fear filled her eyes, and tears began gathering in them.This was far worse than anything she had imagined.She had thought she could somehow survive this life, but every passing moment was proving her wrong.“From today onward, you'll handle all of my work,” Olivia continued coldly. “And if you make even one mistake, you'll answer me. Do you understand?”Olivia silently nodded.“Do you not have a tongue?”Alexander stepped forward and firmly caught her by the arm, pulling her closer.Olivia winced.“P-please… it hurts.”She forced the tears back, trying
