Chapter 102 - 101 A Heart at War
Olivia’s legs went numb; she fell to the ground. ’Was this really happening?’
A sad and heart-wrenching laugh resonated from her throat. The only person she had started opening up to was going to send her to her death.
The memories of when she was transferring essence flickered through her head. The way he was draining her essence out of her, the look in his eyes was so unfamiliar and terrifying. The words he had said.
"Mine." The word resonated in her head. So he didn’t mean that in a romantic way? How foolish of her to think so—he was much more interested in her essence.
The mark that had burned through her forehead was also because of him.
She also remembered how he had defeated Klaus easily, breaking his rules. The power that surged around him was unfathomable. He wasn’t what he seemed to be.
But still yet, her heart—her traitor of a heart—wanted to believe this was all a coincidence. It made her think of the three times he had saved her. Would he have done that if he wasn’t kind?
She shook her head, steeling herself not to let a tear threaten her eyes to fall. "I think you are wrong, Diana. He is not like that... he has saved me numerous times."
Diana walked towards her, bending half-knees in front of her. Her eyes held concern. Her hand rested on Olivia’s shoulder. "I understand your denial, but he could be saving you so he can take your essence when the time’s right," she paused for her words to sink into her. "He is waiting for the right time," she added.
