Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 283

Chapter 283: The Party

Olivia’s POV

"Trust me, all eyes will be on you," Lolita teased with a wink, fluffing my hair as I checked myself in the mirror. I rolled my eyes and looked away, forcing a small smile. The truth was, I didn’t care about all eyes. I only cared about theirs—Lennox, Louis, and Levi. And they weren’t going to be there. So no, I wasn’t exactly excited.

Before I could sink too deep into that thought, a knock landed gently on the door. I paused—and even without opening it, I knew exactly who it was. His scent gave him away.

"Come in," I called, adjusting the strap of my dress.

The door creaked open, and Calvin stepped inside. I didn’t turn to look at him. Not right away. Not after what happened this morning. After everything we’d said... or yelled.

"Excuse us," he said, directing his words toward Nora and Lolita.

They both bowed slightly and slipped out of the room without another word.

Silence settled between us.

Tense. Quiet.

Until finally, he spoke.

"I’m sorry."

I turned slightly, eyes meeting his in the mirror.

"For what?" I asked quietly.

"For... reacting the way I did earlier," he said, his voice softer than I’d expected. "I didn’t mean to scare you. I just—" He paused, rubbing the back of his neck. "I’m angry. Not at you. Just... at what you went through. I can’t stop picturing it. I hate that I wasn’t there to stop it."

My expression softened, and I nodded slowly.

"I know," I murmured.

He took a breath and looked me over, his eyes lingering on my dress.

"You look beautiful, by the way."

I gave him a small, surprised smile.

"Thanks."

"Have fun tonight. You deserve that much."

I studied him for a moment before asking, "Aren’t you coming?"

He shook his head. "No. I’ve got a few things to handle—pack matters and some loose ends to tie up."

Of course.
