"The Deymars hated Olivia because she never fit their ideal of the perfect family. They abused her because they could. Despite everything she endured at the hands of her parents and brother, she was a gentle child. Jon and Khloe really took a liking to her, and she didn't grow up being deprived of love.

The only one who could find them was Pandora's heir. Since Olivia and Camila were together the night they found the daggers and they reacted, Azael was certain more than ever that Camila was everything he wanted her to be. When he learned that Olivia had killed Camila, he wanted to kill half of the city. Instead, he decided to make her suffer." This is why Azael targeted
