Chapter 283

OLIVIA

By the time we landed back at New Village, Luke’s men were already waiting for us at the airport. The moment we arrived, Marcus spoke with them outside the car, while I settled inside with the kids. My baby girl was still fast asleep in my arms, and her brother had just started to stir as the plane touched down.

It felt like a lifetime since I had seen them, and the relief of holding them again was overwhelming. Samuel’s eyes fluttered open, and the instant he saw me, his face broke into the brightest smile.

He had been there when we needed him most, and that was all that mattered.

Back when I had left him, when I had run away in fear, the reasons felt so clear in my mind, so necessary. But now, sitting here beside him, with Samuel in his arms, it all seemed like a distant memory, a blur of confusion that didn’t quite make sense anymore.

The car took a sharp turn, heading down an unfamiliar road, I didn’t ask where we were going, assuming we might be headed to a hotel or somewhere safe for the night. But when the car eventually came to a stop, I was shocked to find ourselves in front of the most beautiful mansion I had ever seen.
