Chapter 73. The Punishment I
Chapter 73. The Punishment I
Helen's POV
I was satisfied with the confused look on Olivia's face as I urged her to finish washing her hands as I exited the restroom. After some minutes, she came out and then I quickly grabbed her arm and walked her back to the room.
When we got back, Logan and Lucien were already in with Lucas. Logan was packing Olivia’s clothes into her bag pack while Lucien packed the remains of the food and went out to discard it. Olivia and I walked closer to them and asked them what was going on
“We just processed your discharge, Liv. So you will be going to the palace with us.” Logan said, smiling. “But why, I can just wait til tomorrow as it was already late,” Olivia said.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“The doctor told us that you will regain your memory faster when you are around the familiar environment and friends. So I want you to do so faster as we have a lot to talk about.” Logan added.
“What about my parents? Did they know about this?” Olivia asked again. “Sure, I called them this evening and they were fine with it. They promised to always check up on you in the palace,” Logan said. Logan threw Olivia’s bag at Lucas to carry but he threw it back at him. He was a bit angry and I couldn’t imagine what he was thinking.
Lucas is just a complex human being. I thought to myself. One second you will find him smiling and laughing and the next few seconds, you will see him in an angry mode ready to kill whoever crosses with him at that moment.
I watched Olivia’s expression as she stared at Lucas. I couldn't read her expression as well and all I could hope for was for her to listen to my advice so that she would drift away from the triplets totally.
Logan carried Olivia's bag and pulled I and Lucas out with him, telling Olivia to change into the clothes he laid on the bed and joined us outside.
After some minutes, she came out of the room and like a baby that was just learning how to walk, Logan guided her as we walked into the elevator. Anger boiled within me but I tried to calm myself as I would soon get my chance to deal with Olivia again
We got out of the hospital and headed to the driveway. Logan pulled Olivia closer to him and told us to leave with Lucien as he would drive Olivia to the palace.
Oh, moon goddess. Am I invisible or what? Why is it that the word “Olivia” isn’t far-fetched from them?
I was silent as I watched him guide Olivia to the car. He opened the front door for her just like a perfect gentleman taking good care of his queen. They looked like a perfect couple, a tall handsome young man and a short beautiful woman and all I could think was if I still had a chance to take the triplets away from her.
Snap out of it. Helen! Logan will soon get tired of her and dump her. I didn't know that Lucas was calling my name the entire time as I was too focused on Logan and Olivia. I quickly collected myself and ran to the car. “What were you thinking about?” Lucas asked as Lucien started the ignition
I was in the backseat, resting my head back against the headrest, I smiled and replied to Lucas. "Didn’t Logan and Clivia look like a couple just now?”
He was silent and Lucien only glanced back-at me without saying anything aswell. I didn’t probe further ante all fell silent durings the driveto the palace. Logan and Olivias arrived earlier. We also went in andfound Logan bringing ayta aillow and some blankets:-He placed it on the couch and then‘fie went out of the suite.
Lucas and Lucien went to their respective rooms, leaving me alone in the living area. The atmosphere was tense, and I could sense the underlying emotions swirling around like a brewing storm.
I guess I should head to bed. It's been a long day. I returned to my room, tossing left and right on my bed as I was unable to sleep. The situation was getting more complicated than I had anticipated.
Lying on my bed, I replayed the events of the day in my mind. Olivia's events had disrupted the delicate balance I had established with the triplets, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that things were about to take a turn for the worse. I finally gave in to sleep when I remembered the plans I had in mind.
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of maids moving along the corridor. I quickly got dressed to check what the triplets and Olivia =~ were up to. Logan and Olivia were> already seated at the table, engaged in a-quiet conversation. Lucien and Lueas were nowhere to be: seen. With a smile, I approached the two and greeted them before sitting with them.
I watched as Logan began recounting the events that had happened before, to Olivia before her memory ke ldss. He left out certain < details.about how they had bullied her inthe past and I smiled at.that as tat would be my weapar to drive aiwedge between him andOlivia. Olivia listened attentivelyto him, smiling and giggling. Conten
“Why did you omit the part where you and your brothers bullied her in the past?” I asked Logan. “Helen!” He shouted at me.
I guess that's the first time Logan ever raised his voice at me. I ignored him and told him to come out clean so that Olivia wouldn't hate him if she learnt of everything they had done to her in the past from someone else.
“What?” Olivia asked. “You mean I was bullied by the triplets in the past?” She asked again
I nodded and kept my emotions in check as Olivia stood up to leave and Logan tried to call her back. I offered a casual remark, "Give her some space, Logan. I’m sure she will come around. I only thought it’s better for her to know the truth, you know it can probably help to get her memories. back,” I added.
Logan shot me a look, as if questioning my sincerity, but didn't say anything. Instead, he excused himself to go after Olivia. Left alone, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The cracks were beginning to show in their seemingly perfect facade.
Just then my phone beeped, I checked who had messaged me and it turned out to be my father.
“It's time for Trisha to get punished. Where are you guys?”
