Chapter 121: My Plan
Chapter 121: My
Olivia's POV
The moment the door shut, I paused and used my heightened hearing to make sure no one was eavesdropping. I even sniffed the air to be sure no one was around before bursting into laughter. Oh my goodness, I was damn good! So good that I never knew I could put on such a display! The trembling of my hands… the fear in the triplets' eyes… the things I scattered around and how I acted with Gabriel—it was all perfect.
Just thinking about Gabriel's performance almost made me laugh again. He sounded so confused, poor Alpha. He had no idea he was being played like a perfectly tuned violin.
A soft knock tapped on the door in a pattern only two people knew.
I smirked. "Enter."
The door creaked open, and two ladies walked in—Nora and Lolita, my two loyal handmaids and the only ones in this cursed place who knew the truth. Nora balanced a tray with steaming food—roasted lamb, seasoned vegetables, and fresh bread—while Lolita carried a jug of fruit-infused water and a goblet, as if we were about to toast to my latest performance.
"You should've seen yourself, Luna," Lolita whispered, barely suppressing a giggle as she set the goblet down. "The way your voice cracked when you said, 'I want to go home!'"
Nora snorted. "I almost started crying just to give it more effect. You're scary when you act like that."
I flopped onto the bed, dramatically throwing one arm over my face. "Ugh, I'm exhausted from all the fake trembling. My hands were actually starting to cramp. Do you think I overdid it?"
"Not even close," Nora said as she placed the food on the table and began uncovering the dishes. "You were brilliant. If I didn't know better if you hadn't told us, I'd say you really had a memory reset."
Lolita sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes gleaming. "They totally believed you. You've got the Alphas wrapped around your finger, Luna Olivia."
