Olivia's P.O.V.

I am bored.

I am tired of watching series. I am tired of watching dramas. I am tired of reading books. I am tired of playing games. I am tired of every fucking thing.

Seriously.

I want to go out but I don't want to tell them.

I am already a burden on them. I don't want to increase their burden.

And, I am scared what if they will get tired of me too ?

What if they will send me to an Orphanage ?

I immediately shake my head, "No No, please- I can't live there-"

I look up and join my hands, "Please God, Please, don't let them get tired of me- please please please-"

"Olivia" I flinch slightly as I look at my door.

My eyes lit up seeing my friend infront of me.

"Mia" I grin. She comes inside with a raised eyebrows.

"What were you doing just right now ?" She asks me, sitting beside me on my bed.

"Nothing", I immediately says.

"I heard that you are talking about something with God" She narrows her eyes at me.

"Daily prayer" I mutter, picking up my phone from the side table.

She smirks, "Since when did you become so religious ?"

I look at her and gives her my tight lip smile, "Since, you came in my life."

She looks at me in disbelief.

But immediately a smile forms on her face as she hugs me and I hug her back.

"So, what is the matter ?" She asks, settling beside me on the bed.

I sigh, "Nothing much"

She looks at me for a second and sighs, "I know what happened between you and Lu-"

"I don't want to hear his name, Mia" I grit my teeth. I clench my jaw.

I was so blind in his love. I did everything for him. And in return, he fucking cheated on me ? I. Fucking. Want. To. Kill. That. Guy.

"Olivia" She squeezes my hand in a comforting manner.

"It will be fine" She gives me a small warm smile.

I forced my smile and nod.

"But Mia, How did you know that Lucas and I broke up ?" I ask her, because as per my knowledge, only my family knew about it.

Mia's face lit up, as she immediately takes out her phone.

"Not only me, Olivia, whole school and even their college knew about it"

I frown, "H-How ?"

She didn't reply me instead, opened something in her phone. Her eyes lit up.

I think, she found what she was searching for.

"Look, Olivia" She shows me a video.

My eyebrows furrows, when I watch the video.

"What is happening ?" I ask her, frowning, as I saw a group of students surrounding someone. My eyes widen suddenly, when I saw what's actually happening in the video.

Lucas's car.

It is painted red with the word "Rapist" emblazoned across it.

I gasp, my hand flying to my mouth as they started throwing eggs and tomatoes on him. My mouth ajar open as I processed the scene happening infront of me.

The video ends, and I sit there in stunned silence, processing everything I've just seen. A small, almost imperceptible smile tugs at the corners of my mouth. For the first time in a long while, I feel a flicker of happiness.

Someone is taking my revenge.

I look at her, "Mia, who told everyone about Lucas and me ?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.

Mia looks in my eyes and smile slightly, "Mason. Mason and Dylan. Both of them. They painted his locker and wrote 'Cheater' on it with red paint. They even set mechanism of punching machine in his locker. Whole tomatoes and Eggs throwing program was actually planned by them."

My eyes widen in shock.

I can't believe this. They really took revenge for me ?

But why-

I flinch slightly when a knock on the door grabs my attention, pulling me back to the present moment.

"Come in" I mutter.

Hazel comes inside with a smile on her face and a bouquet in her hand, followed by a maid, who has a tray in her hand.

I frown.

"Hii Mia" Hazel smiles at her, warmly.

"Hello Hazel" They hug each other, before Hazel turns towards me.

"Olivia, this is for you." She extends that bouquet towards me.

Frowning, I take that bouquet from her.

"Who sent this ?" I asks scanning the beautiful bouquet in my hand.

The bouquet is an exquisite blend of deep red roses and delicate white baby's breath, perfectly arranged around a cluster of golden Ferrero Rocher.

Uh ! I love this chocolate.

My eyes falls on the letter that is stuck behind the flowers. Raising my eyebrow, I take out that envelope.

Pretty Hernandez ?

The only person who called me this is- my eyes widen as I realise who sent me this.

I take out the letter from the envelope.

I let out a chuckle. Cute.

"Olivia, what's written in that ?" Mia says curiously.

"Rocky sent this" I reply, passing this letter to her.

Hazel frowns, "Rocky- that guy who gave you those whiskey ?"

I nod my head.

I never thought that out of all people, he will send me these flowers. That's literally so sweet of him.

I just hope, he won't bring any type of feelings for me in his heart. I am not at all ready for this.

Anyways, this letter with chocolates and flowers are just so cute and beautiful. So thoughtful of him. And come to think of it, that Rocky Martin, who talked with fist, has written this sweet letter.

"That's actually cute, Olivia" Mia grins, "Even though, there are some grammatical mistakes in the letter but, it's fine."

I roll my eyes at that.

"Ok you girls enjoy, if you want anything, give me a call." She gestures maid to put the tray on my bed and they left.

I neatly fold that letter and carefully kept it on my sidetable with a small smile on my face.

As I look at Mia, she smirks at me and wiggle her eyebrows.

I stare at her blankly, "What ?"

"So, what's going on between you two ?" She says with a teasing smile.

I roll my eyes, "Nothing"

"Then, Ferraro Rocher, red roses, letter, that red heart emoji, killer smile, what's all these things, huh ?" She smirks.

I narrow my eyes at her, "Shut up, it's nothing."

"Ooohh, so you are telling me that the guy, who was your enemy, who hated your guts and vice versa, is giving you a bouquet of red flowers with your favourite chocolates just like that ? Seriously ? Spill the tea, girl"

I again roll my eyes at her but nonetheless decides to tell her everything happened that day in the mall.

She squeals with an excited grin, "That's literally the Enemies to Lovers tropes. So cuteeeee"

She gushes pulling my cheeks.

I slap her hands away from my face, rubbing my cheeks, that are being pulled brutally.

"What are you saying, Mia ?"

She grins, "Idiot, your lovestory, First You and Rocky were Enemies and now he sent you this bouquet. Do you know, what is this ? This is-" She gasps, "You guys are like Lee Young-joon and Kim Mi-so of What's Wrong with Secretary Kim or maybe like, Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei of Love O2O and even Kim Tan and Cha Eun-sang of The Heirs-"

"Mia... Mia... Calm down, who are these people ?" I frown.

She rolls her eyes at me, "These are the famous Male and Female leads of the famous Korean and Chinese Dramas, dumbo. Even their lovestory follows same trope of Enemies to Lovers just like yours-"

"One Second, Mia" I stop her, "First thing, All these things will only look good in movies or dramas, not in real life."

She opens her mouth to oppose me, but I again stop her, "And Second thing, I don't love him. Neither do he."

She rolls her eyes, "Initially Everybody says the same thing."

"No Mia, I am serious."

She looks at me worriedly. That playful smile faded away from her face.

"How long will you torture yourself, Olivia ? Move on from him, Olivia."

I look away from her, "I am not torturing myself-"

"Stop lying. I know you, Olivia. I know you since childhood. I could tell when you are lying. I know, you are still missing him, Olivia." She says.

"I am not missing him, Mia" I whisper.

She lift my chin and made me look in her eyes, "Stop lying to yourself, Olivia. He fucking cheats on you. He was using you. That Bastard was literally manipulating you. He fucking never loved you-"

"But, I loved him, Mia" I whisper. My eyes glisten with tears, as I stare in her eyes. She looks back and forth in my eyes for a second, and then pull me in a bone crushing hug.

"I actually loved him. I had seen my future with him. How did you expect me to move on from him that easily ? I could never forget him, Mia. Never."

A sob left my mouth, "I fucking hate him, Mia. W-Why did he do this to me ? Why did he get me u-used to him and then l-leave ? What did I do wrong ? Was I not g-good enough for him ? I l-loved him so much, Mia, so much-" I sob hardly.

"Why is everyone l-leaving me, Mia ? Why can't anyone l-love me ? I'm tired, I'm really tired... I did so m-much for L-Lucas, and still, he never thought about me. H-He was with a-another girl, Mia, and kept telling me he was busy with his f-father's b-business... If he didn't l-like me, he could have just told me instead of c-cheating like this. I h-hate him, Mia, I hate him."

She rubs my back, caressing my messy hair.

"Cry as much as you want, Olivia. But, you have to accept this that he left you. You have to accept this that he is not worthy of your tears. You are missing him and that bastard is not even regretting. You have to make him regret, Olivia. You have to be strong. You have to move on. You can't cry for that fucker your whole life, Olivia."

She pulls out from the hug and wipe my tears.

"Don't waste your precious tears on that bastard. You have a heartkiller dimple smile, Pretty Hernandez." She says, imitating deep voice of Rocky, making me let out a teary chuckle.

She chuckles too.

"He is actually correct, you actually have that killersmile. If I was a dude, I totally fall for you." She winks at me.

I let out a hearty laugh, smacking her shoulder.

"Let's watch something, I am bored" She suggests.

I shrug casually, settling on the bed properly, when she switch on the TV.

"Let's watch The Proposal" She says and the movie started playing on the screen.

"Mia, why Luna didn't come ?" I ask her, while my eyes are still fixed on Sandra Bullock.

Not my fault, she is so damn funny and cute.

"She went to the trip with her parents, remember ?" She replies, munching on the biscuit.

"Hmm"

"Her attendance is low, and in exam, 75% is must, so she is sitting in detention classes to increase her attendance." She looks at her watch, "I guess, her classes might be over now."

"Ohk" I say, munching a pop corn.

In the middle of the movie, she pause the movie and says, "I am going to washroom. Wait for me."

Saying this, she runs towards the washroom.

I shake my head, chuckling.

Hmm. I know you, since childhood. How ?

Before I could think anything else, her phone rings, gaining my attention.

My eyes widen seeing the name in her phone. But the call immediately cut. It only rang for 2 seconds but what shocked me was the name written on it.

James.

I immediately kept her phone where it was before when I heard the bathroom door open and she comes outside.

"Sorry... Sorry... Let's continue the movie." She smiles at me, sitting beside me.

I give her my forced smile and she settles beside me.

Why was James calling Mia ?

What is going on ? Why did Mia say that she knows me since childhood when we met when we were in high school ? And we actually became friends after Ria died ?

From the corner of my eyes, I can see that, she switch on her phone. I swear, she stiffens slightly looking in her phone.

She turns towards me and I held my breath, expecting her to tell me that James has called her.

"Olivia, I just remembered I have to go somewhere urgently." She says. Nervousness is clear on her face.

I look at her, confusion and doubt swirling in my mind. "Where are you going ?" I ask, trying to keep my voice steady.

She gulps a little, "I-It actually, the owner of my house is calling me. He told me to give the rent of the h-house till 7 pm today and its already 6. I-I- have to go."

I stare at her, blankly while she was grabbing her things from the table.

Why is she lying ?

"Can't it wait ? We were just starting to relax," I press, feeling a knot forming in my stomach.

She slightly squeezes her purse as she turns towards me. I notice her slight moment.

"Sorry, Olivia, it's really urgent. I'll make it up to you some other day. I have to go now." She says, looking in my eyes.

I nod slowly, still unconvinced.

"Okay"

She gives me a quick hug and rushes out the door.

Is she hiding something from me ?

Why did James called her ?

What if she is in danger ?

"No... No.... No... I have to do something."

I grab my phone and immediately call Luna.

Before, I could say anything, she screams from other side, making me wince slightly.

Luna : SORRRYYYY DARLINGGGG !!! I HAVE LESS ATTENDANCE THAT'S WHY I CAN'T COME TO YOU-

Me : Lunaaaa... Slow.. please... Why are you shouting ?

Luna : Sorry.. Sorry... But, I missed you.

I smile. Some people are just precious.

Me : Me too. But, right now I called you for some thing, Luna.

Luna : What happened, Olivia ? Your voice suddenly turned serious ?

Me : It's about Mia. Did you notice any changes in her behaviour, Luna ?

Luna : No, why ?

They spend almost the entire day together.

If Luna did not notice any change in Mia's behaviour then how did I notice it ?

Am I overthinking too much ?

Who knows if this is just my illusion ?

And she has really gone to pay the rent to her landlord ?

Hmm. Possible. I think I am just thinking too much.

Luna : Hello... Olivia... Are you there ?

Me : Uh- yeah yeah.

Luna : Tell me everything. What actually happened ?

I sigh, but tell her each and everything. From James' call to her sudden departure. Everything.

Me : But now I feel that this might be my imagination... she might have really gone to pay rent to her landlord.

I felt silence from other side as I frown.

Me : Hello... Lunaaaa Broo... Are you there ?

Luna : Olivia- I guess, you are right. She is definitely hiding something from us.

I frown, "uhh what ?"

Luna : Yes Olivia, actually a week before, I went to her house for notes. Her landlord were there with her and she gave her advanced rent in cash, infront of my eyes, Olivia. I swear, she is hiding something from us.

I stiffen slightly.

I was right.

Me : Luna, she just went from here. Can you please follow her ? If she is lying to us then, she definitely went to meet James, Luna.

Luna : Yes, you are correct. I will call her once. Let's see where exactly is she ? And then, I will follow her. Don't stress, Olivia, I will find out what is she hiding from us.

"Thanks, Luna. I owe you one," I say, feeling a bit of relief.

We hang up.

But my mind is still racing with some unanswered questions.

Why did Mia lie ?

What could she be hiding from me ?

And why is James involved ?

Why did-

I flinch slightly hearing a knock on the door.

"Come in" I say, slowly.

William opens the door and I stiffen.

I didn't see him after that night.

He comes inside and asks, "How are you ?"

I look down and nod my head, indicating that I am good.

He sighs and sit beside me on my bed.

This is getting awkward. Never in my life, I thought that I will be awkward with my own Elder brother.

I hate to admit this but I can hear his thoughts that's are racing in his mind. But I don't want to interact with him or with anyone in that matter. I still have thoughts on

He sighs again and finally breaks the silence. "Do you remember, Olivia..." he starts, his voice tinged with pain.

I glance at him, blankly.

"Do you remember, when we were kids, you used to be so forgiving. You never want to hurt others feelings and that's why you will forgive them easily. Jack probably was the one who takes most advantage of your this habit." He smiles a little, staring at the space.

I look at him.

"Not going to lie, but I also get that advantage." He sighs looking down.

His words bring a flood of memories. My eyes fill with tears as I remember those beautiful moments.

💭 Flashback 💭

I'm sitting on the living room floor with my arms crossed and a pout on my face.

"Come on, Lia," Liam says, holding out a small box of my favorite chocolates. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to break your dollhouse."

I huff and turn my head away.

"Lia, look I will bring another doll house for you... " He says, holding his ears.

I roll my eyes and scoot away from him.

I hear Michael laugh at us. But, I don't care.

"It's really funny to see a big bad William is holding his ears infront of his youngest baby sister" Liam glare at him, before turning towards me.

He hold my arm and pulled me towards him and I slipped towards him due to slippery floor. And now, I am sitting infront of him with my arms crossed.

I glare at him for sliding me on the floor like this. But he leans down and kiss my head.

"Don't kiss me" I glare at him.

"Yes, slap her" Michael laughs at us.

I glare at him too.

"Darling, forgive me please. I will bring you new doll set. I promise." He says, cupping my little face in his big hands.

"No... I kept that doll house in your room for you only. But, you- you stepped on it-" my eyes glisten with tears.

Mom told me that it's time for his marriage. He will bring his wife and she will stay with him.

And when I asked her, why... She told me that, Liam is feeling alone and she don't want him to feel alone that's why they are searching for a girl for him.

I don't want any other girl to live with him in his room but I also don't want my Liam to be alone.

So, I kept my dolly with her house in his room... So, they can make bond and he won't have to bring another girl in his room. That way, he won't feel alone too.

But this demon stepped on my dolly and broke her neck in his sleep.

"Liaa ... Lia... Don't cry, baby... I was sleepy... I didn't know that you kept your doll in my room, darling, that's why... I am so sorry, please forgive me." He apologizes, kissing my cheeks.

Michael chimes in, his tone teasing, "Yeah, Liv, forgive him already. He's practically begging."

I shoot Michael a glare, but it only makes him grin wider. He loves seeing William squirm.

"Leave him, Lia... Listen to me, I will bring new dollhouse for you and fix your dolly too. I just bought chocolates for you too. In evening, I will take you to the icecream parlour too. Please... forgive me" He looks at me with sad eyes and I felt something in me.

I can't see my brothers' sad.

"If you don't want that chocolates, I won't mind. You can give it to me." Michael chims in with an innocent smile.

"No, I won't share. That's for me."

"Then, I won't give you my donuts too. Remember you already ate yours and now, you want mine too. If you will share your chocolates then I will give you my donuts." He smirks at me.

I pout and look at my eldest brother who just chuckles.

"That means I am forgiven, right ?"

I roll my eyes at my brothers but finally reach out to take the box from Liam's hands. A small smile tugs at my lips as I open it and see the neatly arranged chocolates inside. "Okay, I forgive you," I say, my voice soft.

Liam's face lit up as he immediately scoops me in his arms, kissing my whole face and I giggle feeling ticklish on my face.

💭 Flashback Ends 💭

I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes as I recall that memory. Those were simpler times when a box of chocolates and a sincere apology were enough to mend my heart.

"I hope my mistake was that simple to gain your forgiveness with a chocolate." His voice is filled with pain and regret.

Tears roll down my face as my heart aches.

He wipes my tears.

"I know Lia, leaving you guys is my worst decision ever. I have a reason to do that. But, that's can't justify my actions, I know that. I know you suffered, Lia, I know it's hard for you to live without us. I am sorry, Lia, I am really sorry for that." A tear roll down from his eyes as he looks at me sincerely.

I want to forgive him. But, what about that hurt, I've felt for years ? What about the nights I cried for them ? 

Did they literally expect me to forgive them so easily ? 

None of them were talking nicely with me in these years ? And now suddenly, when I am unable to walk, they are being nice ? 

Mason kept telling me that I deserves every hate, then why did he take revenge for me from Lucas ?

I sigh and look at him in his eyes. Without thinking, I reach down and pull off my top, leaving myself in just my bra. The fabric falls to the bed, and William's eyes widen in shock.

"What are you doing?" he asks, his voice a mix of confusion and concern.

Ignoring his question, I turn slightly to the side, exposing the side of my stomach where an old, ugly black bruise mars my skin. The bruise looks like a burn mark, and despite its age, it still stands out starkly against my skin. 

I heard his gasp, as I look at him. His reaction is immediate. His eyes growing wide with shock and panic. I can see a storm of questions brewing in his mind, but for a moment, he is too stunned to speak.

I take a deep breath, trying to steady my voice. "Do you see this, William ?" I say, my voice trembling slightly, "This is just a bruise. Maybe a memory. Memory of a day when I realized that I have to grow up, that my fairytale life is over, and that I have to face this world alone now."

He reaches out, his hand shaking, but hesitates just before touching the bruise. "Olivia, what happened ? Who did this to you ?"

Tears well up in my eyes as I struggle to hold them back. "This is what I've been dealing with, William. This is what I am going through after you and Ethan left, William. This is what I've been hiding from everyone. All the pain, all the suffering... This is just one part of it"

His breath hitch as he looks at me in sorrow, regret and anger ?

"Olivia, why didn't you tell us ? Why didn't you tell me ?" His eyes glisten with tears.

I turn to fully face him, feeling a rush of anger and sadness, "Maybe because you were not there... Maybe because you were too busy with your own family that you forget that you have your siblings at home too ?"

A look of hurt cross across his face.

Good.

I wipe my tears, "Leave it, William, you won't understand this. No one in the house knows about this. So, you should forget about this too."

I flinch slightly when I look at him. His eyes darken, like it's spitting fire. His jaw clenched while his fist tightened.

He looks furious. Livid.

"Who. Did. This. To. You ?" He grits his teeth. His voice sounds so cold that for a moment, it scares me too.

I roll my eyes, "No one. This shouldn't concern-"

"Tell me the name, Olivia" He looks at me firmly.

I made an eye contact with him.

He definitely looks scary.

"William, it's an o-old bruis-"

"WHO DID THIS TO YOU, OLIVIA" He slams his hand on the table beside, breaking the table.

My eyes widen as I gasp in shock.

"Dad"

Gritting his teeth, he immediately left from there.

What is he going to do ?

Oh God... I am tired of these dramas.

"Why is he act like he cares ?" I scoffs.

I pick up my top and again wear that.

He gets angry by mere sight of just one bruise.

What if I will show him my back one day ?

I let out a chuckle, "Definitely Going to be a mad"

I sigh looking at the bruise. I caress it softly, and close my eyes....

I can never forget that day... The day I lost myself... The bubbly, innocent Olivia was replaced by a mature Olivia... I still remember that day very well.

⚠️💭 Flashback 💭⚠️

"M-Mom- s-sorry-" I stutter, joining my hands, with tears rolling down my face as my Mom glares at me.

"WHAT SORRY HUH ? I TOLD YOU TO TAKE CARE OF THE MILK ON THE GAS TILL I RETURN. YOU CAN'T DO A SINGLE WORK, HUH ?" Mom hit me with a ruler in my knees as I shriek in pain.

No one is in the home except us.

"I-I- a-m s-sorry- M-Mom- I-I- w-was- s-sketchi-ing- AHHHHH" I cried harder as she again hit me.

"AGAIN WITH THAT TIMEPASS HUH ? YOUR DAD WARNED YOU TO STOP SKETCHING AND DRAWING, RIGHT ? HE TOLD YOU TO FOCUS ON YOUR STUDIES, RIGHT ? STILL, YOU ARE DOING THAT, HUH ?"

"AHHH M-MOM- IT'S HURTI- AHHH" Tears roll down my face as I scream in pain.

"I will show you the consequences. Wait here, where is your drawing book ?" She says suddenly, looking around.

When her eyes fall on my book, she grabs it and look on it.

"So this is what you are doing ? Sketching your brothers who left you, huh ?" She smirks.

"NO, THEY DIDN'T LEFT ME" I yell on her in anger.

Why she keep saying that they left me ?

They can never leave me. They just can't.

I felt a hard slap on my face as I fall down on the floor.

"You are talking back, huh ? Tch, so disrespectful. This is all happened because of your brothers that you forget your manners. Good, that they left you." She glares at me, "Now, I can teach you some manners."

She hold my drawing book in her hand and was going to tear it, but I immediately snatch it from her hands.

"NO, YOU CAN'T DO THIS" I scream at her keeping my book behind my back, as I glare at her angrily.

She glares at me back.

"Fucking. Give. It. To. Me" She grits her teeth.

"NO" I scream and take a step back.

"OLIVIA FUCKING HERNANDEZ, GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW...  STOP BEHAVING LIKE A BRAT"

She screams at me but I run from there only to bump into someone else.

I look up only to see my Dad.

I immediately hug him, "D-Dad- Mom is h-hiting- m-me-" I cried, hugging him close. He hug me too.

"Why ?" He asks me taking in the kitchen, near Mom.

I sniffle, "S-She i-is h-hiting-m-me- d-dad- I j-just- s-she- is g-going-t-to t-tear- m-my s-sketch-b-book-"

He kneels down infront of me and says calmly rather too calmly, "Then why are you using it ? I already told you to leave sketching and focus on your studies, hmm ?" He tuck my loose hair behind my ear.

I sniffle and nod, "B-B-ut- I-was- j-ju-"

"No Olivia, you did wrong that's why she is just punishing you. Nothing is wrong in that. If a child will do something wrong, then it's parents duty to reprimand them, to punish them, so that they can become successful in their life." He says calmly.

"B-But- Liam said- s-sketchi-ing-is n-not a b-bad thi-"

"Liam is a bad guy, Olivia. Don't listen to him." He casually says, wiping my eyes.

I gasp taking a step back.

"No Dad... Liam i-is- n-not- a- b-bad- guy-"

"Sshhh..  he is a bad person, Olivia. Forget-"

"NO. HE IS NOT. YOU ARE A BAD-"

"OLIVIA" He yells on me, making me flinch harshly.

He pinches his nose and sighs, "Listen to me, Olivia. Stop thinking about them. William and Ethan left you. They get their wives. They will forget about you eventually, Olivia."

My eyes filled with tears as his words sink in my heart.

I can leave everyone for you but can't leave you for anyone.

Liam's voice rang in my ears as my heart clenches.

They really left me ?

No. It can't be possible. They can't left me. Ethan promised me that he will keep me with him. He can't left me. No, Dad is lying.

"That's why I am telling you, Olivia, stop thinking about them. Leave this sketching. Those are bad people-"

"NO. THEY ARE NOT. YOU ARE LYING. THEY CAN'T LEAVE ME." I yell on him taking a step back.

His eyes harden, "Olivia. Stop. Misbehaving-"

"NO, I WON'T. I WANT MY BROTHERS BACK. YOU BOTH ARE LYING. I HATE YOU BOTH-"

"SHUT UP, OLIVIA" Dad's voice booms in the space.

"Give me your sketch book, right now, Olivia" Mom grits her teeth.

Shaking my head, I glare at her too with my teary eyes.

"OLIVIA FUCKING HERNANDEZ, I WARNED YOU TO LEAVE THIS FUCKING DRAWING AND START FOCUSING ON YOUR STUDIES." Dad glares at me.

I glare at him back too, "I WILL NOT STOP SKETCHING-"

"YOU HAVE TO. FIRST THAT JACK, THEN MICHAEL AND NOW YOU TOO FOLLOWING THEIR STEPS ? NO, I WON'T LET YOU. YOU ARE ALREADY BECAME A BRAT AND NOW YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ASSHOLE LIKE YOUR BROTHERS-"

"SHUT UP" Before I could stop myself, words came out, "I SAID FUCKING SHUT UP. MY BROTHERS ARE NOT ASSHOLES, YOU GUYS FUCKING ARE- AHHHHHHHHH"

A pain surge through my body when suddenly I felt something hot on side of my stomach. My eyes waters as my Dad, grits his teeth, "TELL ME, WHAT WERE YOU SAYING, HUH ? WE ARE ASSHOLES, HUH ? WAIT, I WILL SHOW YOU WHO ARE REAL ASSHOLES."

He again keep that iron ruler on the gas and hit me with it on my side stomach making me yell in pain.

"AHHHHHH- D-DAD- I-IT'S- H-HURTING-" I cried harder, as that ruler was burning my skin brutally.

"Now, tell me will you do sketch again ?" He push that ruler more in my skin, making me scream in pain.

"N-No- d-d-ad- p-please-i-its- h-hurt-ting-"

He laughs out loud, "Remember, if you ever touch your sketch book again, I will lock you up in the store room in between of rats."

Tears flowing freely from my face as I falls down on the floor holding my stomach in pain.

He ruffles my hair and kiss it, "You are scared of rats, right ?"

He pulls my hair harshly when I didn't reply.

"AHH- y-yes-"

He smiles and pat my hair softly, "Good. So will you ever touch your sketch book, again, hmm ?"

"N-No-" I sobbed looking down.

He again kiss on my head, "Good Girl. That's why I always said to my other children that Olivia is literally the best among them. They should learn from their sister."

And, as this chapter is already long and you guys are also waiting... So, I kept parents' punishment part for next chapter 😁. However, in halfway tho, I also lost my motivation of writing as again I came back on 499 followers from 500...

Anyways, stay tuned for next chapter...

Spoiler : Parents Punishment, and I guess some moments between Olivia and her brothers (not decided yet)

Guys, Tell me what do you think about Rocky's letter ?

What are your thoughts on Mia ? And James ?
