23 Chapter 23 (1/2)

Olivia woke up panicking and she realized that it was dark, and she was in Lucas's arms. She remembered that she had fallen asleep in his arms which meant that he had carried her to the bedroom.

She shifted slightly and looked at his face. He looked so peaceful, she couldn't believe that he had forgiven her that easily. She touched his face lightly when she remembered the tears in his eyes. He had cried for her.

His face was smooth, and his cheeks felt so warm, when she touched them. Olivia withdrew her hand slowly.She curls more into him and falls asleep.

Olivia opens her eyes and it's dawn. She shifts a bit.

”Are you awake?” Lucas said in a light tone.

”Yes, I am.” She replied eagerly.

”Can you do me a favour?” said Lucas.

”Yes, anything.”

”Can you tell me how you met Khloe and all.”

Olivia took a deep breath and she started, ”well you see it all began when I ran away from Reynold. I was lucky that I had stolen enough money to get a train and move to the town by Donovan road. I got there, and I realized that this money would not be enough to sustain me for long. I hadn't even wondered far when a certain someone called me.”

”Khloe.” Lucas said.

”Yes. You guessed it. She called me and at first, I wanted to be cautious, but I threw away my misgivings because she was female, and she seemed so nice. The first conversation we had was of her asking me who I was, and she emphasized that I was pretty.”

Lucas nodded his head.

”I asked her where I could find a cheap place, and where I could get a job. She said she had it all figured out for me because she would make sure that I got all that I needed. It didn't feel right because everything comes with a price.”
