Chapter 270: Reject Me
Olivia’s POV
I was having lunch with Calvin at the dining table. I noticed his eyes were constantly on me, watching every move like he needed to be sure I was really okay. Finally, he spoke.
"How was your practice today?" he asked, his voice calm but edged with worry.
"I nodded with a small smile. "It was great... I can now teleport easily, and now I know how to control it."
Calvin nodded slowly. "That is good. Keep it up."
"Thank you," I said and went back to eating. Another moment of silence hung in the air before Calvin spoke.
"I don’t want to keep anything away from you anymore. After you finish eating, I’ll show you something... and tell you how the Lucianos and our family became sworn enemies for life."
I swallowed hard and nodded, my fork hovering over my plate. I was tense... my mind spinning with questions I was terrified to answer. What could have caused such hatred to run so deep? And if there was so much hate between us, why would the Moon Goddess mate me with the triplets—twice? What was she thinking?
I forced myself to keep eating until we were both done. Calvin suddenly pushed back his chair and stood.
"Come on... let me show you something," he said quietly.
I followed Calvin in silence, my heart thudding anxiously in my chest. He led me through the hallway until we reached the library. It was quiet and cold, the scent of aged paper and leather-bound books filling the air. He walked to one of the older shelves tucked in the far corner, reached behind a stack of thick volumes, and carefully pulled out a scroll.
He handed it to me.
