Chapter 121
“Yes, you’re late,” Logan uttered, gently pushing Olivia away. Stepping back, he continued, “I’m married now. You can’t just hug me like before. Besides, as I mentioned earlier, Hope is my mate.”
“I understand, Logan. But it’s not like I had any control over waking up after all these years. Now, I wonder if it would have been better if I never woke up at all,” Olivia sighed, turning her back to him. She found it incredibly difficult to persuade Logan. How could he forget about her? How could Hope’s love hold such sway over him?
“You were never my fated mate if you remember. Also, you wanted time to think about marrying me when I actually proposed you,” Logan stated. “I agree love existed between us in the past, but it doesn’t anymore. I am sorry for that, but I’m happier now. I have embraced my past and moved on fully,” he explained.
Olivia smiled as she again pivoted to face him. “I understand, Logan. I’m happy that you’ve found the right woman for you,” she asserted.
“Great. Shall we go in? It’s the dinner time,” Logan said when the phone in his pocket rang. He asked Olivia to go inside while he went further inside in the garden to answer the call.
He saw it was from Paul. He brought the phone to his car as he answered it.
“Logan, what am I hearing? Olivia is alive?! Tell me it’s not true!” Paul asked from the other side while getting freaked out.
“She is alive,” Logan said.
“How?” Paul inquired him. “I mean we saw her dead,” he proclaimed.
“I find it weird too. Can you and Clifton search about Olivia’s distant cousin, Victor? Do you remember Victor?” Logan asked her.
“Are you doubtful of her? Wait! You don’t look surprised by her sudden appearance. Why?” Paul got confused as he demanded an answer from him. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
“Because I’ve missed something a long time ago. I cannot tell you now why I am not surprised by her sudden appearance. Just find out about Victor if you can,” Logan affirmed.
“Alright. I will,” Paul assured him. The phone got disconnected soon and Logan put it into his pocket before going inside.
As the dinner preparation went on, Logan decided to take Hope outside for dinner. He informed his grandfather that he wanted to take Hope out, who nodded.
“Logan, it seems you are not interested in Olivia anymore. I am surprised to see that. Also, I feel she isn’t a part of your life anymore,” William said as he put the book aside.

“Grandpa, isn’t it weird that she is alive? I don’t believe her and I feel there’s something more that was remained hidden fron me,” Logan truthfully shared with his grandfather.
“Hmm. Even I find it strange. Olivia was dead in everyone’s eyes,” William said. “Do you think she planned her death?”
“Plan?” Logan hadn’t thought that much. However, because of Henry he got suspicious of Olivia.
“I have a feeling that Olivia has something in her mind. I’m glad that you took a decision to send her away,” William praised Logan’s decision. “I won’t take much of your time. You should take out Hope and spend some quality time with her.”
“Yes, Grandpa. Please have your dinner,” Logan said and left William’s room.
Logan went to the kitchen and saw Hope was helping the cooks in the dinner. “Hope, come here,”
he said.
She glanced at the two female cooks, washed her hands and went to Logan. “Have you talked with Olivia? The dinner has still some time to prepare, Hope stated.
“Well, I’m taking you out for dinner,” Logan said.
“Huh? Why?” Hope was shocked to hear him.
Logan tucked her lose hair behind her ear and said, “What do you mean by why? Your husband wants to have a private dinner with you and spend some time with you.”
Hope blushed to hear him. “We have to inform the others. But would it be nice to go out for dinner? Imean the entire family is here,” she murmured.
Logan hung locked his arm around Hope’s neck and took her out of the kitchen. “Others won’t mind. Also, we can go out for dinner whenever we want to. It’s good to spend time with your partner,” he proclaimed and took her upstairs. After getting ready, they headed out.
Olivia, who had come to the living room, ended up watching them. She frowned and felt annoyed. ‘Daniel said Hope was dead, then how did she survive? Did Daniel lie to me?’ Olivia thought and
wondered what exactly happened that night.
“Ryan, Olivia is here and I swear I get a sick feeling. I cannot digest the fact that she survived a deadly accident and her brother dug her grave only to find out she was alive. I mean can you believe this kind of truth?” Roaxana asked as she crossed her arms across her chest and rested her back against a tree.
“That’s strange. I totally agree with you,” Ryan said as he sat on the recliner of his room with a coffee mug in his hand. “What is Logan saying? Hope must be shocked to see her husband’s lover,”
“Surprisingly, Brother Logan didn’t give any special attention to Olivia. And I’m glad about it. He told Olivia that Hope is his wife and his mate. My brother has really changed into a good human with strong emotions,” Roaxana said with a proud smile.
“That’s good to hear,” Ryan said and took a sip of coffee.
Roaxana’s eyes spotted Olivia, who was coming in her direction. “Ryan, Olivia is approaching me. I’ll talk to you,” she said and hung up the call before sliding the phone into her pocket.
“Olivia, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be resting? You woke up from the coma last week,” Roaxana said with a fit of taunt in her voice.
“Roaxana, why do you sound angry? Are you upset with me too?” Olivia asked her. “I feel I lost you all,” she murmured.
“Well, I am not angry,” Roaxana lied because she did not wish to upset Olivia.
“Even Logan has moved on. Am I the only one who is still dwelling in the past?” Olivia lowered her eyes as she acted to feel low and lost. Roaxana didn’t know what to say her on this.
“Well, it was difficult for Logan to move on,” Roaxana finally answered. Olivia met her gaze as she heard Roaxana further say, “We had lost Logan completely. I never saw him enjoying his life. He would always keep himself buried in the work. Then, suddenly, one day he decided to marry Hope. He fell for Hope’s kind heart and innocence. So, yeah Logan suffered a lot after he found you were dead.”
Olivia hummed. “Hope is his fated mate. I was too late in waking up,” she murmured.
“It’s unbelievable that you are alive, Olivia. You won’t believe Logan had refused to come to even public or any family events after that accident. You did hold a special place in his heart, but Hope made him feel lively again,” Roaxana explained to her.
“That’s good to hear. Logan found a woman who could finally complete him,” Olivia remarked.
“Exactly. You also need to start afresh. I am sure you’ll find someone better than Logan because he is already someone else’s now,” Roaxana stated.
Olivia nodded at her. “Thank you, Roxy. You have always been so warm and understanding. I’m so glad that you have not change at all,” she stated.
Olivia took steps close to her and held Roaxana’s hands. She peered into her eyes closely. “Roaxana Moore, you will stab Hope Moore to death in the morning,” Olivia used her compelling power on her. “When I will say kill in the morning, you will attack Hope with a knife. When Logan and others will ask you the reason, you’ll say it is because Hope’s uncle wanted it,” she whispered against Roaxana’s lips, thus completely taking over her mind.
Roaxana’s pupils dilated and the same yellowish color appeared in them as Olivia’s eyes were. “I understand, Olivia,” she said.
“Now, go to you room and sleep.” Olivia pulled away her hands from Roaxana’s.
She watched Roaxana leave and smirked. “Hope, I will make sure to throw you out of Logan’s life. I don’t know how you got healed from wolfsbane, but now I’m here, I will make sure to kill you,” she murmured.
Olivia had realized that Hope’s disappearance from Logan’s life was the only solution to bring him to his knees. “You will suffer badly this time, Logan, that you’ll be forced to take your own life. I will make sure you pay the crimes for your father. I will not let you have a good and happy life,” Olivia pledged to herself as an grim look appeared on her face.
