Olivia stood dead on her feet. Her entire world has been ripped away from her. She is aware that she should be relieved that she will no longer be tortured, but why is she unable to do so? Is it true that physical pain is more tolerable than mental pain?
She has been hurt in both physical and mental ways. It was not difficult to conclude that she is currently mentally unstable. This very thought made her laugh in her mind.
When has she ever been stable?
She has been suffering from the past two for almost three years. As a result, her life is already a living hell, and the incident that occurred today was just icing on the cake.
She can’t say that what she is feeling today is anything new. She had already experienced these feelings three years ago. And it has only gotten worse over time.
She isn’t sure whether she should be happy or sad.
Finally, she would be able to leave this place for good. This place has a lot of bad and torturous memories for her. But where will she go next? Where will she live now?
Oh, yes! She has to go and live with her godparents.
Olivia wants nothing more than to leave this place. She wishes to be free from this world. To flee her demons, which have been haunting her for several years. But she has to stay strong. Not for her, not for anyone but HIM. The only reason for her to live. The only person who gives her a sense of life.
Caleb couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Seriously, it’s atrocious! The whole situation is a total disaster. Instead of spending his entire vacation in Hawaii with his family, they were forced to cut their trip short and fly back home. Even though there was only one week left, he was still having a good time there. But his parents did not consider this. Instead of having the time of their lives, they want to help a lost cause.
Okay!! He may have had more fun than he should have, and he didn’t mind returning home, but the main reason for their early departure from their vacation spot soured his mood.
When his mother called him to his suit, he was having fun at the beach, flirting with girls. That’s when he learned that they needed to fly back to the place, which was only a few hours away from their home. He wasn’t told the specifics, just that they would have a new member added to their family because she had nowhere to go. They revealed nothing else. When he asked, his father replied, “This is not our place to tell.”
Bullshit!!
He is their son. He has every right to know about the mysterious girl who is going to stay with them. But, for them, loyalty to their godchild and best friends is far more important than loyalty to their own blood son.
One thing he is certain of is that this girl is a carbon copy of his older brother. He can say that confidently because, as he was leaving his room, he overheard his mother and father whispering to each other. That allowed him to conclude that this girl is nothing more than a mirror image of his so-called brother.
