“Olivia!” Natalie gasped, struggling to sit up in her hospital bed. “Thank the moon goddess you’re safe!”
Tears streamed down her face as she reached for her stepdaughter. “I was so terrified when I heard about. Grace. My baby girl…”
Olivia moved to embrace Natalie, offering what comfort she could. “I’m here now. We’re going to find Grace and bring her home.”
Her voice carried gentle reassurance despite her own emotional turmoil. “Frederick Warner needs Grace alive as a bargaining chip. She’s safer than we fear.”
Natalie clung to Olivia desperately. “Promise me we’ll get her back. Promise me my daughter will come home.”
“I promise,” Olivia said firmly. “Grace will be returned to us safely.”
After leaving the hospital, Olivia directed the driver to a nearby electronics store. The bright fluorescent lights felt harsh after the hospital’s subdued atmosphere.
She purchased a new smartphone and reapplied for a phone card. The process felt surreal after everything she’d endured in the past twenty-four hours.
As soon as the device powered on, it was flooded with notifications. Missed calls and unread messages filled the screen in an overwhelming cascade.
Most were from Connor, his desperation evident in the frequency of his attempts to reach her. A few came from Richard, Natalie, and her friends and colleagues.
Having survived a night of terror, she was finally safe and connected to the world again. The simple act of holding a functioning phone felt like reclaiming a piece of her normal life.
Olivia immediately dialed Emma Thompson’s number. Her assistant’s voice was her first priority after the ordeal.
“Olivia?” Emma’s voice carried disbelief and relief. “Are you okay? I couldn’t contact you last night, I was so worried!”
The girl’s voice broke with emotion. “I was afraid something happened to you and I called the enforcer in a hurry. How are you? Where are you now?”
Olivia didn’t want to involve innocent people in the dangerous situation. She also couldn’t bear to worry her friends with the full truth of her k********g.
“I’m fine, sorry,” she replied softly. “Something happened temporarily last night.”
Emma breathed an audible sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re okay.”
Olivia’s voice became more focused. “Where are you now?”
“I’m in a hotel,” Emma responded immediately.
“Send me the address,” Olivia instructed. “I’m going to find you now.”
Emma quickly provided the location details. After leaving the Rivers Pack Mansion, the Winters family driver had taken them to the hospital, and Olivia had kept the car when they departed.
She checked the navigation system. The hotel was not far from her current location, perhaps ten minutes by car.
(Olivia’s POV)
On the way to Harbor City Memorial Hospital, I pulled out my new phone and dialed Lily’s number. My fingers trembled slightly as I waited for her to answer.
“Olivia!” Lily’s voice was filled with relief. “I’ve been trying to reach you all night! Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “There was an incident last night, but I’m safe now.”
I could hear her sharp intake of breath. “What kind of incident? You sound different.”
“I can’t explain everything right now,” I replied. “But I need you to know that I’m okay. Don’t worry about me.” After reassuring Lily, I immediately called Rebecca Frost. Her phone rang several times before she picked up. “Olivia? Thank god!” Rebecca’s voice cracked with emotion. “I heard something happened. Are you hurt?” “I’m alive,” I said simply. “That’s what matters right now.”
Rebecca’s silence told me she understood the gravity of what I wasn’t saying. “Do you need anything? I can come to you.”
“No, stay where you are,” I instructed. “I’ll contact you when things settle down.”
After ending the call, I directed the driver to the hotel where Emma was staying. The familiar streets of Harbor City blurred past the window as my mind raced with plans for revenge.
When I arrived at the hotel, Emma was waiting in the lobby. Her face lit up with relief when she saw me, but I could see the worry lines around her eyes.
“Olivia!” She rushed to embrace me. “I was so scared when I couldn’t reach you.” hugged her back, drawing comfort from her genuine concern. “I’m here now. That’s what matters.”
Emma pulled back to study my face. “You look exhausted. Have you eaten anything today?”
I realized I hadn’t thought about food since the ordeal began. “No, I haven’t.”
“Let’s go eat together,” I suggested, checking my watch. The afternoon was slipping away, and I had important business to attend to later.
Emma readily agreed. “Okay. What do you want to eat?”
When I asked what she preferred, Emma smiled. “I’m fine with anything.”
I proposed looking for a restaurant nearby. We found a quiet café a few blocks from the hotel, and I ordered something light while Emma chose a hearty meal.
As we ate, I watched Emma’s animated expressions as she talked about her job search. Her optimism was infectious, even in my current dark mood.
“Actually,” I said, setting down my fork, “you could apply for a job at Moonlaw Legal Services through the normal procedures.”
Emma’s eyes widened with excitement. “Really? You think I’d have a chance?”
“With your qualifications and work ethic? Absolutely,” I assured her.
Emma beamed. “I’d love that opportunity.”
“Have you found a place to live yet?” I asked, remembering her temporary hotel situation.
Emma shook her head. “Not yet. I’m still looking.”
“Let me help you,” I offered. “I know Harbor City well, and finding good housing can be tricky.”
Emma politely declined. “Thank you, but I can manage on my own.”
I insisted, concerned about her unfamiliarity with the city. “Emma, Harbor City can be dangerous for someone who doesn’t know the area. Please let me help.”
After some gentle persuasion, Emma eventually accepted my offer. “Alright, if you’re sure it’s not too much trouble.”
I checked the time and realized I needed to move quickly. “I should take you back to the hotel now. I have something important to attend to.”
Emma nodded understandingly. “Of course. Thank you for dinner.”
After dropping Emma back at the hotel, I immediately drove to Grey Holdings headquarters. The imposing glass building loomed against the darkening sky as I parked my modest BMW sedan.
Just as I turned off the engine, my phone rang with an unfamiliar number. I recalled seeing several such numbers earlier but hadn’t paid them much attention.
I answered cautiously. “Hello?”
“Olivia, you finally answered!” Ethan Grey’s voice was filled with concern. “Where are you? Are you alright? Did Frederick Warner do anything to you?”
My fingers tightened around the phone as inexplicable rage soared to the top of my head. The sound of his voice made my blood boil.
Suppressing my anger, I replied coldly, “I was almost killed thanks to you. I’m outside your company now.” There was a moment of stunned silence. “You’re… what? Where exactly are you?”
“Stop talking nonsense and come down,” I said impatiently. “We need to talk.”
