Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Half Sister

Olivia’s POV

A soft knock landed on my door, and I knew instantly it was Calvin. His distinct lemony scent drifted in, announcing his presence before he even spoke.

"The door is open," I said gently.

He pushed it open and stepped inside, holding a white box wrapped with a shiny red ribbon. Our eyes met, and he gave me a warm, genuine smile. The kind of smile that made me feel... safe. Loved. Protected.

"Good morning, sunshine," he greeted as he walked toward me.

My smile widened. "Good morning, brother."

The word came out so naturally, so easily, even though it was the first time I’d ever said it to him. It felt right. Like it had always been there.

He reached my bed and held out the box. "Here... I got this for tonight’s party. I hope you like it."

A happy grin spread across my face as I accepted the box.

Feeling a flutter of excitement, I unsealed it carefully.

The first thing I saw made my breath catch. It was a stunning red dress, silky and elegant. I lifted it slightly, the fabric slipping through my fingers like water. Beneath it were silver heels, delicate and sparkling like starlight.

At the bottom of the box was a smaller one. I opened it slowly... and gasped softly.

Inside were diamond accessories—a necklace, earrings, and a delicate bracelet. They shimmered beautifully, catching the morning light with every tiny movement.

"These are beautiful," I whispered, still a bit in awe.

Calvin sat beside me on the edge of the bed. "They were our mother’s," he said softly.

I turned to him, surprised. "Really?"

He nodded. "She wore them the night she married our father. They were her favorites. I thought it was only right... that you wear them tonight."

I looked back down at the jewels, my heart fluttering. A strange ache bloomed in my chest.

"I’d love to meet her," I said, glancing up at him. "Where is she?"
