(Olivia’s POV)
I was stunned by his ruthless exposure. My amber eyes widened slightly.
I never expected that, just because I once hinted Vanessa might be infatuated with her foster brother, Connor would now tear apart all illusions so publicly and cruelly, even banishing her abroad without mercy.
(Eleanor’s POV)
I felt overwhelmed, clutching my chest as my voice trembled with anger and heartbreak.
“Is it true? Did you really harbor such shameless feelings for your brother?”
Vanessa desperately wanted to deny it-I could see it in her eyes-but the words died in her throat. She could neither confess nor lie.
What she couldn’t do was say she didn’t love him, because her obsession was clearly bone-deep. Yet she couldn’t bear the idea of leaving him behind forever.
“Grandma, I… I…” Her sobs turned hysterical. “Please, don’t send me away!”
(William’s POV)
I watched my wife’s gaze fill with disgust and outrage. This girl we had welcomed into our home, raised as our own, had betrayed our trust in the most disturbing way.
I sighed heavily, seeing no alternative. “Tomorrow we will arrange your departure immediately. You still have the villa we bought for you in the Western Territory. You can live there. I’ll arrange a position for you at our overseas branch.”
Connor’s voice cut through her pleas, firm and final. “Without my permission, you are never to return to the Northern Territory.”
(Vanessa’s POV)
“No! I won’t go!” My despair exploded into madness. “Brother, I don’t want to leave you!”
My tears streamed uncontrollably, my voice shrill and crazed. I couldn’t hold back anymore-years of hidden feelings burst forth like a broken dam.
“Why? Why can’t I love you? We grew up together, but there’s no blood relation. Why can’t you just look back at me? Is it wrong that I love you? Is it wrong that I want to be with you forever?”
(Katherine’s POV)
A resounding slap echoed through the hall.
I stood tall, having struck Vanessa’s face hard enough to leave a vivid handprint. My voice was cold with fury.
“Shut up! Stop talking nonsense! Connor is your brother, and will always be your brother. Even if one day you leave the Rivers family, you’ll never be with him!”
(Vanessa’s POV)
I sneered bitterly, my cheek stinging from Katherine’s slap.
“Heh, do you think I care about being your adopted daughter?” I glared at her with hatred that had festered for years. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become his sister. Did you ever ask if I wanted to be adopted? I never wanted to be his sister!”
With those venomous words, I turned and stormed out of the Rivers family mansion, leaving stunned silence behind.
(Olivia’s POV)
Witnessing this ugly and heart-wrenching scene, my heart remained unsettled for a long time.
The family that had seemed so perfect from the outside had just been torn apart before my eyes. Vanessa’s confession and subsequent banishment had exposed raw wounds that would not heal easily.
Beside me, Connor gently took my hand, his palm warm and steady against mine. His voice lowered softly, comforting me with quiet determination.
“Livvy, don’t carry any guilt in your heart. None of this is your fault.”
(Vanessa’s POV)
The Rivers family moved with ruthless efficiency. Less than twenty-four hours after my humiliation, all the arrangements were complete. Two burly security guards. flanked me as we walked through Harbor City Regional Airport, their grip on my arms tight enough to prevent any escape attempt.
I kept my head high despite the tears threatening to spill. How dare they treat me like a criminal? After everything I’d done for this family?
As I boarded the plane, hatred consumed me like a living flame. My nails dug crescents into my palms as I settled into the first-class seat they’d booked to ship me away.
“Olivia Winters,” I whispered venomously, “all of this is your fault.”
The flight attendant offered me a drink, but I waved her away. My thoughts were too poisonous for interruption.
Without that woman, Connor would have eventually noticed me. He would have seen my devotion, my love that had never wavered since childhood. He would have been mine.
“You stole him from me!” I hissed under my breath, causing the passenger across the aisle to glance over nervously.
I turned to stare out the window as the plane began to taxi. The Western Territory awaited me-along with someone who might help me overturn this nightmare and exact the revenge I so desperately craved.
A cold smile curved my lips. This wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
(Olivia’s POV)
The afternoon light slanted through the windows of Moonlaw Legal Services as I organized the last of my case files. Most of my colleagues had already left for the day. when Heather Phillips approached my desk, a manila folder in her manicured hands.
“Olivia,” she said with a professional smile, “do you have a moment?”
I nodded, setting aside the brief I’d been reviewing. “Of course, Ms. Phillips.”
She placed the folder before me, her expression encouraging. “Usually negotiating cases is the business department’s work, but you know, being a lawyer requires negotiation skills. It’s better if lawyers can secure cases themselves. I have a potential client for you to meet.”
Opening the folder, I scanned the documents inside. This was exactly the kind of opportunity I’d lacked at my previous position in Harbor City, where I’d struggled as an outsider with no connections.
“This could be valuable experience,” I murmured, genuinely interested.
Heather’s smile widened. “If you land this client, I’ll give you a 20% commission, stacked on top of your usual legal fees.”
The money didn’t particularly interest me-my focus was on building my professional reputation. Still, the gesture was appreciated.
“Okay, Ms. Phillips,” I replied, closing the folder. “I’ll handle it.”
She patted my shoulder kindly. “The meeting is set for 7 p.m., Moonlight Club. I’ll have Kenneth Westfield accompany you. Sorry for the overtime.”
I nodded without hesitation. “That’s fine. I appreciate the opportunity.”
As Heather walked away, I checked my watch. Just enough time to prepare.
The office had emptied considerably by 6:30 when I approached Kenneth Westfield’s desk. He was still there, packing his briefcase with exaggerated movements.
“Kenneth,” I began politely, “shall we discuss transportation to Moonlight Club?”
He looked up, his gaze immediately filling with undisguised contempt. “Why don’t you have your boyfriend bring over his luxury SUV to show off?”
I stiffened. Yesterday, Kenneth had seen me step out of Connor’s vehicle at Harbor City Memorial Hospital, and apparently, he’d been nursing his jealousy ever since.
“It’s too late to have him bring the car,” I replied evenly. “I’ll just take a cab.”
My Glacier Blue Bentley Continental GT was still parked at the Winters Family Estate.
