[Olivia’s pov]I didn’t realize where Carter was taking me until the car slowed in front of a familiar building. My breath caught in my throat.He remembered it.It was my favorite restaurant.For a moment I simply stared at it, unable to hide my surprise.Carter turned off the engine and stepped out of the car without saying anything. By the time I had gathered my thoughts and opened my door, he was already walking ahead of me.He reached the entrance before me and pushed the glass door open. Then he stepped aside.“After you.”The small gesture felt strangely intimate. Too intimate for two people whose marriage was falling apart.I knew what he was trying to do. I walked inside slowly, my eyes instinctively scanning the familiar interior. Nothing had changed. Six years ago, Carter had brought me here for the first time.I remembered how nervous I had been that night. How he had spilled water on the tablecloth while trying to impress me. We both laughed that day and I had fallen in

[Olivia’s pov]I remained standing at the sink, gripping the marble edge as if it were the only thing keeping me steady. My heart was beating endlessly inside my chest.The door behind me opened again. I could hear two women stepping inside, their heels clicking lightly against the tiled floor.“I’m telling you, I saw her just now.” One of them said excitedly as they approached the mirrors beside me.“Saw who?” The other asked. I began avoiding them.“Mr. Velcro’s wife.”My hands froze. A chill ran down my spine for some reason. Carter had never brought me in public due to our different lives and schedules I had always been occupied with.For a second, I thought I had imagined it.But the conversation continued.“Really?” The second woman replied with a small laugh. “I didn’t even know he brought her out in public. I heard she never attends any events except the VIP and hasn't appeared in restaurants either.”“That’s exactly why I was surprised!” The first woman said. “They’re sitting

[Olivia’s pov]I was taken aback by the way they ridiculed me. All of this was Carter’s fault. Nobody knew who his real wife was.For a moment, I couldn’t speak.The cruelty in her words struck deeper than I expected. My fingers curled into fists at my sides as heat rushed to my face.Was this how the world saw me?Invisible from his life.Someone who simply didn’t belong beside him.I forced myself to breathe slowly, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing me crumble. I had enough of the humiliation.“You’re mistaken about Camilla.” I said quietly.They exchanged amused glances.“Oh really?” the first one asked.“Because the woman we saw on television beside Mr. Velcro looked nothing like you.”The second woman nodded eagerly.“Yes! She was stunningly sophisticated. Like someone who actually belongs in his world.”My chest tightened.But then the second woman scoffed loudly.“Please.”She folded her arms.“If you’re really Mrs. Velcro.” She said mockingly. “Why don’t you go

[Carter’s pov]The music hummed softly, making my senses more tense. My focus remained locked on the empty chair across from me.Olivia had been gone for nearly ten minutes.What was she doing?I hoped she didn’t ditch me today.My fingers drummed lightly against the polished wooden table. While I glanced toward the hallway that led to the washrooms. Every time someone walked past, my heart jolted for a moment. I almost jumped in my place before settling back into restless impatience.“She’ll be back, I am sure.” I muttered under my breath.Still, something about the wait made me uneasy. Olivia had all the reasons to ditch me and run away.To distract myself, I glanced at the table again and around. Dish after dish had begun arriving and my mind was still occupied.Not random dishes.Her favourite dishes. The grilled lemon butter salmon. The herb roasted potatoes. And the creamy mushroom pasta she used to insist on ordering even when she claimed she wasn’t hungry.I chuckled softly u

[Carter’s pov]A cold wave of dread crawled down my spine. I felt like my head was spinning. The restaurant noises faded into the background. For a moment, all I could hear was my own heartbeat.Six years ago.I stared at her. “You wouldn’t.” My shallow voice warned her. Despite how many times I tried to sound confident my tone displayed how afraid I was.Camilla raised an eyebrow. “Wouldn’t I? You really underestimate me, Carter.”My throat tightened.“If Olivia finds out the truth–” She continued lightly. “Do you really think she’ll still sit here eating your little romantic lunch?”The image struck me instantly.I could instantly imagine Olivia standing up and walking away. Forever. My stomach twisted violently.Camilla watched the realization settle in my eyes.“See?” She whispered. “Now you understand what I am talking about.” She sipped once more, clearing her throat. “Decide wisely, Carter.”My voice dropped to a harsh whisper. “What do you want, Camilla?”She smiled sweetly. “

[Carter’s pov]“Honestly, Olivia.” She added, “I didn’t expect you to show up looking like that.”Olivia stiffened. She seemed offended. Even I stared at Camilla while Olivia’s furious eyes were still settled on me. She wanted me to respond to all the insults of Camilla.I wanted to protect her but the threat bound me.I was chained in unseen shackles and it hurt me to the core that I was unable to defend the love of my life.“What is that supposed to mean?”Camilla smiled sweetly. “Oh, nothing.” Her gaze sharpened slightly.“If you claim what you say to be true–” I saw Camilla pausing as she waved her hand up and down. “I am just surprised Carter still bothers bringing you out looking like this.”My heart pounded harder.“No wonder people assumed I was his wife.” Camilla snorted. “I mean have you ever taken a keen look at yourself, Olivia?”Olivia looked at me again.Waiting.“I know your work is hectic and demanding of your focus. But come on, how do you expect to keep a husband whe

[Carter’s pov]The restaurant door closed behind Olivia with a dull thud. But the sound echoed inside my head like a gunshot. I felt it as if my heart had stopped pounding. My soul died at that moment.For several seconds, I didn’t move.I even forgot to breathe. Didn’t even blink.My eyes remained fixed on the empty doorway where she had disappeared. As if staring hard enough might somehow bring her back. I hoped she would come back stomping her feet to scold me.Everything I had planned, every desperate attempt to recreate the past, laid ruined on the table between us. All because of Camilla.“I hate you, Carter.” Her voice kept replaying in my mind.Over and over again.“I don’t ever want to see you again.” Something heavy settled in my chest.Not anger. Not a shock.Just a suffocating weight of regret.Then a soft snicker broke through the silence beside me.My hands slowly curled into fists.“What have you done, Camilla!?” I shouted at her while keeping my voice low. It had bee

[Carter’s pov]The guilt was eating me from inside. My restless mind always reminded me of the nightmares.The funeral.“And yet here you are–” I said bitterly. “Sitting in a restaurant like nothing happened. As if everything was a game to you.”Camilla slowly pushed her chair back and stood up. Her movements were calm. So calm that I still couldn’t figure out whether she was genuinely saying the truth. When she looked at me again, her expression had changed. The playful arrogance was gone.Now her eyes held something darker.“You’re very bold today, Carter.” She said coldly.My jaw tightened. “Maybe because I’m tired of pretending for you. To let the world know how much I care about you.”She stared at me for a long moment.Then she laughed softly.But this time the sound held no humor. “Oh wow…” Camilla breathed, the corners of her lips lifting in a slow, incredulous smile. Her eyes glittered with something dangerously close to anger. “So now you really want to pin the blame on me

[Olivia’s pov]The moment I stepped out of the restaurant, the air hit me like a slap.Cold. Cruel and unforgiving.For a few seconds, I just kept walking.My heels struck the pavement of the parking lot unevenly. My steps hurried as my vision blurred with unshed tears. My chest felt tight.Too tight.Like something inside me was clawing its way out.And then I stopped.Right in the middle of the parking lot.My hands curled into fists at my sides as the flashes of everything crashed down on me all at once.“Damn it!” I shouted.My voice ripped through the quiet evening air. A few distant heads turned. I didn’t care.“Damn it, Carter!” I yelled again, my voice cracking as the frustration tore out of me. “Damn you!”The sound echoed across the empty rows of parked cars. “I freaking hate you!” My breathing became ragged as tears finally spilled down my cheeks. I raked both hands through my hair, pacing back and forth like a caged animal.“How stupid can you be, Olivia?” I muttered bitt

[Olivia’s pov]Ronan waited for the cab and while it got delayed I had to reluctantly come with him. He didn’t utter a single word to humiliate me. Instead he began distracting me with the other students. Ronan reminded me of multiple batchmates. The more we talked the more I realised he had actually matured.Nonetheless, he dropped me at Homer’s place as I was staying there. After leaving Velcro manor he provided me with his place to stay. We said goodnight and parted ways. ***The next morning, the hospital smelled exactly the way it always did.Sterile. Noisy and predictable.Normally, that comforted me.Today, it didn’t.My heels echoed down the hallway as I walked toward my cabin. While my mind was still tangled in the wreckage of yesterday’s events. Every step felt heavier than usual. As if my body was dragging the remnants of everything Carter had done behind me. Especially yesterday. It shattered the last hope I had in him.My fingers curled tightly around the strap of my
