OLIVIAI couldn’t believe that Damien was the one staring at me, or the person I’d confessed all of my feelings and emotions to without knowing.I thought Axel and the council members said he was dead? And that his father threw him out years ago.But the man staring at me was more than healthy and well in my view. And… What was he doing back at the estate? In New Orleans?My fingertips flew to my lips as they brushed against them slightly. I’d never imagined both brothers to have the same striking resemblance.Damien looked the same as the man I loved; the only difference was I could feel how dangerous he was beneath that tailored suit.And the seductive smirk he had etched on his lips made my heart race before I could stop it. Both brothers sure knew how to make women fall for them without trying hard.“Y-you’re alive?” I couldn’t help but stutter in surprise. “I thought… I thought you were—,”“—Dead?” He chuckled roughly, the sound even sexier than his voice. His eyes glanced over

OLIVIA“Does this look too much?” I asked Celyn, staring at her reaction to my outfit. “I’m trying to keep a casual look.”After what Axel had told me two days ago, I was trying to make sure I wasn’t wearing something exposed like he’d warned.I had a burgundy strapless top and a black denim skirt with pockets and tiny jean straps that fell down both sides.Black block heels and a small, round clutch purse that was in my left hand. My hair cascaded over my shoulders down my back, and I had it in a side part.Celyn stared at me, her eyes raking through my outfit. “It depends on where you’re going.”“I’m going to see Axel,” I said, noticing the way her countenance shifted from neutral to something… I couldn’t fathom. “He wants to see Alix.”“Ohhh,” she muttered nervously, tucking her hair behind her ears. “Burgundy looks great on your skin.”“You think?” I asked, staring down again because it felt like he was still going to yell when he saw the outfit. “I’ve never really worn the color,

AXEL SALVATORE ROSSII’d almost dropped Alix into the pool after seeing Damien that close to Olivia. His hands were all over her, holding her waist and body pressed against hers.I forced myself to breathe, to act unbothered like my heart wasn’t ripping apart at the sight. But when he kissed her… I lost it.She’d reciprocated, and watching her make the next move to kiss him passionately left steam coursing through my body.I stormed towards them, leaving Alix with Rosa as my fists clenched. My eyes were blazing, and I cursed under my breath. Staring at her as she tried to walk away, my chest puffed up. She glanced away, making another attempt to storm off, but I caught her wrist.“Let go of me,” she snapped, wriggling free roughly. With Damien staring at me with a taunting expression, I approached him instead, grabbing his collar roughly.“You motherfucking…” I trailed off, slamming his back against the rails. “What did I tell you about crossing your boundaries?”He pushed me off ro

OLIVIAAxel left immediately after saying those words. I stood there for a moment, trying to catch my breath as my legs trembled. The second I heard him close the door shut, I dashed into the bathroom. He didn’t want me walking around with Damien’s scent on my skin, and I regretted kissing him at all.My eyes were shut tightly as I stood under the shower, washing my skin with his soap and everything he had on the racks. I didn’t want him to get mad at me again, and I was desperate to make things right between us this time.After bathing, I tiptoed back into his room and strolled towards the wardrobe. All he had were black sleeves, and it was a hassle trying to find a T-shirt, which was also black.It was long enough to drop on my thighs by the time I wore it, but it smelled like him. I hugged myself tightly, my lips curling into a smile as I reached for the bed to rest my head.My hair was damp, my whole body smelled like lavender, and it gave me a satisfactory feeling. I tossed my

OLIVIA“You know you’re supposed to pull out, right?” I asked Axel in a teasing manner, but it was nothing far from the truth I tried to explain.I couldn’t risk getting pregnant again and going through all that pain after almost two years. I loved Alix so much, but pregnancy? It wasn’t something I wanted to do right now.Or… Again.Axel scoffed playfully, his fingers raking through my hair as I lay on his chest. We’d only finished a few minutes ago, and while I’d tried to push him off, he refused to pour his seeds on the bed.“You don’t want to carry my baby?” He asked, making me feel guilty with the tone he used.“I’m not on the pills,” I said, raising my head to stare at him. “And I don’t want to get pregnant now.”His eyebrows furrowed. “Why?”I sighed. “Because I don’t want it?”“Olivia,” Axel’s voice was husky as I held his gaze, watching his eyes twitch. “You’re making me feel… bad.”That wasn’t the intention, but he wouldn’t understand. I sat upright, tucking strands of my ha
