Chapter 271That morning, the fresh air enveloped the city park. Birds chirped cheerfully, and dew still clung to the tips of the leaves. Olivia sat for a while on a park bench, taking a deep breath. Her long black hair was left loose, her face looking more mature than it had four years ago. She gazed toward the big tree at the end of the path. A faint smile appeared on her lips.“Back then… I was really foolish, falling in love with Uncle CEO,” she muttered softly.That memory appeared clearly. She was only sixteen, innocent, naive, and just beginning to understand the meaning of a pounding heart. But everything shattered when Ricky got engaged, then married Kelly Rowland Bertan.Since then, Olivia had promised to close her heart, to focus on her education, and never again allow her feelings to take control. And she kept that promise. During two years of college in Paris, Olivia never truly fell in love. Even when her friends were busy dating, she always chose to refuse.“Love only b

The taxi carrying Olivia stopped in front of the grand gates of Drake Sebastian Mansion. The majestic building still looked the same as it did four years ago—elegant and imposing, surrounded by neatly arranged flower gardens.As soon as the car door opened, Olivia stepped out, pulling her small suitcase behind her. The afternoon air was warm, carrying a faint scent of roses from the front garden. She took a deep breath.“Finally, I’m home,” she murmured softly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.Before she could even press the doorbell, the main door swung open. From inside, Elena came running while holding up her dress.“Olivia?!” she exclaimed in surprise and delight. “Oh my God, why didn’t you tell me you were coming home?”Olivia smiled widely and immediately hugged her mother.“I wanted to surprise you, Mom. Surprise!”Elena laughed happily, embracing her daughter tightly.“Oh dear, you’ve grown so much! Look at your hair—it’s longer, and your skin’s glowing. My little girl ha

The next evening, Ricky sat in a chair, glancing at his watch.“Hurry up, Ricky. Don’t take too long, we might be late,” Kelly called from in front of the mirror while fixing her lipstick.Ricky took a deep breath. “Do we really have to go? I thought this wasn’t an important event.”Kelly turned with a forced smile. “It is important. All the guests from Switzerland are coming, and they want me to bring you. Don’t make me arrive alone.”Ricky looked at her for a few seconds before answering quietly, “Fine. I’ll go.”Kelly immediately grabbed her purse and held onto Ricky’s arm. “Good. Tonight has to go perfectly.”Meanwhile, at the Drake Sebastian Mansion, Olivia stood in front of Elena and Nathan’s bedroom door. She was already dressed, wearing a simple black dress and a leather jacket.Elena opened the door first. The moment she saw Olivia, her expression turned worried. “You’re leaving already?”Olivia smiled casually. “Yeah, Mom. Don’t worry, I’ll just be out for a bit. I just want

Ricky sat at the edge of the bed in the club’s private room with heavy breaths. His suit jacket had already been taken off and was lying on the floor, his tie was loose, sweat dampening his temples. Both his hands gripped the side of the bed tightly as if trying to maintain consciousness. His jaw muscles tensed, holding back something that was clearly not just ordinary dizziness.Kelly sat beside him, slowly moving closer, her smile sweet but her eyes full of intention. “You just need to relax,” she whispered softly, her voice deliberately gentle. She touched Ricky’s arm, then traced down to his chest, her lips approaching his ear. “I’m your wife. There’s nothing wrong.”Ricky closed his eyes, his breathing heavy. “Don’t…” his voice was hoarse, trembling as he fought the strange impulse inside his body.Kelly didn’t back away. Instead, she leaned in further, pressing her body against Ricky. “I’ve waited for four years,” she whispered, and her lips touched Ricky’s neck.Ricky reflexive

When Ricky walked quickly out of the club hallway, Kelly appeared from the right and immediately grabbed his arm with a harsh grip. “Where are you going?!” her voice was sharp, no longer the sweet tone of a wife who had begged earlier.Ricky looked at Kelly without expression, his jaw tightening. “Let me go, Kelly!”Kelly gripped even tighter. “Why are you wet? What did you just do?!” Her eyes were wild, a mix of suspicion and anger.Ricky brushed off Kelly’s hand without hesitation. “Don’t touch me.” His voice was low but firm, making Kelly fall silent for a split second.Kelly let out a small laugh, but her tone was cold. “So all this time you were disgusted by me? Four years, Ricky. I’ve been your wife for four years, but even to—”Ricky didn’t let her finish. “Four years is not an excuse to drug someone with an aphrodisiac, Kelly!” he said flatly.Kelly froze, her body going stiff. “You… realized?”“The effect wasn’t strong enough to make me forget everything.” Ricky stared at Kel
