Chapter 195: His Words

Olivia’s POV

I turned... just in time to see all three of them walking away.

Something heavy dropped in my chest.

I swallowed hard, trying to ignore the sudden wave of discomfort that washed over me. It felt like cold water had been poured over my heart. I blinked quickly, fighting the sting behind my eyes.

"You were," he said firmly, sounding annoyed. "Don’t ruin the moment, Olivia. We have to act like the perfect couple, remember? A few members of the council are here... they can’t notice you are having doubts."
