Chapter 19: suicide?

Lennox's POV

I buried myself in work, hoping it would help me stop thinking about Olivia—and the mistake I had made. I signed documents, responded to calls, and drowned in endless paperwork. Even Clark, my Beta, had urged me to take a break for lunch or dinner, but I refused. I didn't want to stop. I didn't want to think.

The door to my study swung open, and Clark stepped in.

"Your brothers and parents are at the table having dinner, and your father specifically asked me to call you," he said.

I growled, shutting the document in front of me. I wasn't hungry. In fact, I had no appetite. My mood was already ruined for the day, and I wasn't in the mood to sit at that damn table pretending everything was fine.

Clark narrowed his eyes at me. "Is this because of what happened this morning at the table? You still feel terrible for hitting her?"

I shot him a glare. "Why should I?" I snapped.

Clark shrugged. "Well, if that's the case, a simple 'I'm sorry' would get you out of this mess."

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving his words lingering in my mind.

I clenched my jaw, my glare fixed on the door. An apology? From me?

She hadn't even apologized for what she did to me, for the pain she caused me all these years. And Clark thought I should be the one to apologize?

No. I won't do that.

I sighed, running a hand down my face, and tried to focus on my work again. But no matter how hard I tried, my mind refused to cooperate.

Eventually, I decided to just respect my father's request and go to the dining hall.

But when I reached the table, Olivia wasn't there. Father, Mother, Levi, and Louis were present, but Olivia wasn't.

I frowned. "Where is she?" I asked one of the maids.

The maid hesitated before answering. "We knocked, Alpha, but she didn't let us in… so we left."

I groaned, pushing my chair back. Stubborn woman.

Without another word, I turned and headed for her room. When I reached her door, I knocked once. No response. I knocked again. Still nothing.
