LOGINOlivia“A…Axel?”Axel slowly lifted his gaze toward me, his dark eyes unreadable as they swept over my face before drifting toward Liam, standing beside me.He had instinctively stepped closer the moment we noticed Axel, positioning himself slightly in front of me in a protective stance.What was Axel doing here? The most important question was; How did he get into my apartment?I swallowed the lump in my throat."W-What are you doing here?"Axel's lips curled as he let out a cold scoff."So…” His voice was dangerously calm as his eyes locked on mine. "I went away for just a short while, and now you're with Liam?"Before I could respond, Liam stepped forward."You have absolutely no right to question Olivia," he said coldly. "Or who she decides to spend her time with."Axel slowly shifted his gaze from me to Liam. Then he laughed... a quiet, mocking chuckle filled with contempt."So because I got busy…” He folded his arms leisurely. "And your family finally allowed you to crawl out of
OliviaThe first thing I became aware of was warmth, then voices, and finally light.Slowly, I forced my heavy eyelids open. My vision was blurry for several seconds before finally clearing.The first person I saw was Liam.He stood over me, his expression filled with unmistakable worry. The moment our eyes met, his shoulders visibly relaxed. He released a long breath before leaning down and pulling me carefully into his arms."You're finally awake. You scared me."I blinked several times before looking around. White walls, medical equipment, a small examination bed... A clinic?"What happened?"Liam slowly helped me sit upright. "You passed out."I frowned. "I... what?""You suddenly lost consciousness while we were still in the air. I landed as quickly as I could and brought you here. I honestly thought..."He paused, his jaw clenched."I thought something terrible had happened."I stared at him. I couldn't quite remember what had really happened. The last thing I remembered was..
Olivia“Ready?”Liam's voice drifted into my ears, steady and calm despite the roar of the helicopter blades surrounding us.I closed my eyes.A deep breath filled my lungs before escaping slowly. The cold wind whipped mercilessly against my face, carrying with it the scent of open skies and freedom.Standing here...Thousands of feet above the ground...This had once been nothing more than a childish dream.When I was younger, I used to stare at television documentaries and adventure shows, imagining what it would feel like to leap into the endless blue sky. I had always wanted to experience the feeling of flying—even if only for a few minutes.Life, however, had never given me that opportunity.Until today.I opened my eyes and turned to meet Liam's gaze. His confident smile somehow soothed the nervous storm raging inside me.I swallowed hard before nodding."Ready."The words had barely left my lips before everything changed.One second, we were standing safely inside the helicopte
AxelI couldn't believe what I was hearing.Lawrence had been secretly working with Aaron all this time?I stared at Lawrence, who stood quietly with his head lowered between the two police officers, and slowly shook my head.The heart of a man could truly be a frightening thing.You could spend years trusting someone with your back, only to discover they had been sharpening a knife behind it the entire time.I shifted my gaze toward Aaron.The look on his face said everything.His eyes widened, and every bit of confidence he had worn earlier completely disappeared. It was obvious he had never expected Father to discover his secret partnership with Lawrence.But this was really intense.Father must have been completely determined to bring Aaron down for him to dig this deeply into everything.He hadn't simply investigated Aaron. He had dug up every secret, every hidden transaction, and every betrayal.Even the lawyer Aaron had confidently brought with him earlier now wore a stiff expr
VincentThe sight before me didn't make me flinch.If anything, it made me laugh.A cold scoff escaped my lips as I leaned back in my chair, meeting Aaron's confident gaze across the long boardroom table."So," I said calmly, "you've invited an audience. You want the public to see this? Fine. I have absolutely no problem letting the whole world witness your downfall."Several directors exchanged uneasy glances. Aaron, however, merely smirked. Just then, one of his lawyers stood. He adjusted his glasses before respectfully bowing toward the board."Chairman Reynolds, esteemed directors..." He placed a thick file on the conference table before opening it. "I am Attorney Marcus Harvey, legal representative for Mr. Aaron Reynolds."He withdrew a neatly prepared document."I believe everyone should first review this agreement before today's meeting continues."Copies were immediately distributed around the room. I didn't even bother looking.Attorney Harvey continued."This document is the
AxelThe moment I stepped out of my car and into the company building, I instantly knew something was going on.The usually organized lobby had transformed into a controlled storm of activity. Employees hurried from one place to another with folders pressed tightly against their chests.It was... unusual. Even during major quarterly audits, the atmosphere had never been this intense. Several employees noticed and greeted me as I walked past while they hurried along.The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. I stepped inside, watching the organized chaos continue through the closing doors until the lobby disappeared from sight.When the doors opened again, I was met by Derek and Freya.The two of them were already standing outside the elevator, waiting for me."Good morning, sir."Their greetings came almost simultaneously. I stepped out, studying both of them carefully.Freya looked tense, while Derek wasn't much better. His usually relaxed posture had stiffened considerably."Wh
OliviaBy the time I drove into my apartment complex, the sky had already darkened. I parked my car in my usual spot, turned off the engine, and just sat there.I rested my forehead briefly against the steering wheel and let out a slow, weary sigh.Today had just been… No—everything lately had been
Axel“Mother!”I didn't even know she was awake.She didn’t say a word and simply turned and walked out, as if every ounce of strength she had left was focused on putting distance between herself and the room.I rushed after her immediately.“Mother!”She stepped into the next hospital room, the on
Axel I sat beside my father’s hospital bed, my mind utterly blank. I didn’t know how long I had been sitting there like that—staring at the steady rise and fall of his chest, listening to the rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor beside him. Could it really be true? Could Father have been marri
Jasmine My eyes instantly widened in shock. Did I hear that right? Did she really just say that? Vincent’s… first wife? Wait... No. That couldn’t be right. That had to be some kind of a joke, right? I looked at the woman standing in front of Axel… Sarah, who looked far too calm for someone wh
