Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 409: Accused

Olivia’s POV

I couldn’t believe it. My ears felt hot. Did he really say that? Frederick wanted me to apologize to Selene—or she would do to me what I did to her? This was unbelievable... it felt like a dream.

"Apologize?" I asked, lifting a brow.

"Yes," he said, his face cold and hard.

I gave a small laugh, then nodded. "Okay."

"That," I said, my voice low and full of rage, "was the slap I didn’t give back."

Her eyes went wide in shock, and for once she didn’t look so sweet. She couldn’t act innocent.
