Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 331: Punishment

Olivia’s POV

Silence... suffocating silence hung in the air as neither of them responded. I darted my eyes between the three of them, and none of them looked me in the face, but Lennox finally broke the quiet, though his eyes stayed fixed anywhere but on me.

"You should ask Levi... I believe he has a lot to say," he groaned.

I turned to Levi, my chest tightening when he still refused to look at me. "Levi..." I called softly, as gently as I could. "What is going on?"

Levi’s frown deepened, and then, for the first time since I appeared, he looked me straight in the eyes. "You are the cause of this, Olivia... if only you loved the three of us equally, none of this would be happening!" he murmured.

jumping to shield her, like the rest of us don’t exist. Like you’re the only one

I didn’t wait another second. My feet moved on their own, carrying me swiftly out of the room, down the long staircase, and toward the sound of her cries. I pushed open the heavy doors and stepped into
