Triple Fated: A Romance Novel

Chapter 487: Wait

Olivia's POV

| froze when Mother said it.

"They're here to see you."

My stomach twisted. The last thing | wanted was visitors, especially them. | wasn’t ready to face anyone, not

after everything that happened.

"I don’t want to see them," | said quietly, keeping my eyes fixed on Lennox’s blanket still clutched in my hand.

"Can they leave?"

Mother sighed softly, her eyes full of pity for me, like she could do anything to take away my pain. "You have to

see them, Olivia. They call this way. They're family."

That word again, family. | actually don’t see them as one.

| didn’t argue. | just nodded weakly and followed her out of Lennox’s room. When | entered, they were already

seated, my brother Calvin and my mother, waiting. Their faces lit up when they saw me, but | couldn’t bring

myself to smile back.

| sat beside Mother, folding my hands on my lap. The silence stretched awkwardly, thick enough to choke on.

Calvin leaned forward slightly, his voice gentle. "You look tired, Oli."

| forced a faint smile. "I've been better."

He nodded, clearly unsure what to say next. My eyes darted between them, familiar faces that suddenly felt

distant. They were my family, my blood, but | didn’t feel close to them.

My biological mother reached for my hand and squeezed it softly. "We just wanted to see how you're holding up,"

she said. "We've been worried."

| swallowed hard, staring at our joined hands. "I'm fine," | whispered, though we all knew it was a lie.

She flasheda warm smile and then suggested, "Maybe a change of environment will help."

"She is not going anywhere."

The authoritative voice of Louis echoed from the stairs as he made his presence known. All eyes turned toward

him, and one look at his face was enough to see how angry he was.

"Olivia stays here. She needs us," he declared firmly.

| swallowed hard and looked back at my biological mother and Calvin. "I'm okay being here. If | need space or

anything, | can always teleport."

Calvin looked like he wanted to speak, but Mother stopped him by gently placing her hand on his arm. | watched

him sigh and look away.

Mother smiled; it looked genuine, but | couldn't find the strength to smile back. Despite being my biological

mother, our relationship was sour.

"I wish to have a conversation one day with you, my dear," she said softly, her eyes glistening. "I know I've failed

in my duties as a mother, and | hope you can forgive me, giveanother chance."

For a moment, no one spoke. The only sound was the faint ticking of the clock on the wall.

| swallowed hard, trying to find the right words. Part ofwanted to say something, but my heart wasn’t ready

for this. Not now.

"Now isn’t the tfor this," | said quietly, forcing my voice to stay steady. "We'll talk when I'm ready."

She looked like she wanted to argue, but she didn’t. She just nodded slowly, her lips trembling into a sad smile.

Calvin shifted beside her, his gaze flicking towith concern. | could tell he wanted to say something too,

maybe to plead with me, but Mother gently rested her hand on his arm, stopping him.

| stood, smoothing my hands down my dress. "Thank you both for coming," | said softly. "But I think I've had

enough for today."

"Olivia—" Calvin began, but I didn’t let him finish.

"Goodbye," | said firmly, turning before they could see the tears threatening to fall.

| walked out of the living room, my footsteps echoing faintly down the hall. The moment | reached Lennox’s door,

my chest ached again, that familiar pain that never really went away.

| pushed the door open and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind me. The air was still thick with his scent. My

body moved on its own, straight to the bed.

| lay down and pulled his blanket over me, burying my face into it. The tears I'd been holding back finally spilled,

soaking the fabric that still smelled faintly of him.

"I miss you," | whispered into the silence. "I miss you so much."

| wiped my tears quickly, though my chest still ached. | thought | was alone, but the door opened softly behind

me.

"Olivia?"

Selene’s voice was calm and concerned. She stepped inside. She looked tired but worried for me.

| sat up slowly, brushing the blanket off my shoulders. "Selene?"

She smiled faintly. "I cto tell you goodbye."

My heart sank. "You're leaving?"

She nodded. "Yes. I'm going back

home. It's t| returned.” She

Lennox back."

She reached out and touched my hand gently. "You did your best. Don’t beat yourself up for it."

My lips trembled, and | could barely whisper. "I don’t know how much longer | can wait."

Selene smiled again. "As long as it takes. Love like yours doesn’t fade. It waits."

| blinked, trying to hold back more tears. "Thank you," | whispered.

She nodded, her eyes softening. "Take care of yourself, and of that little life growing inside you. That's your light

now."

And with that, she turned toward the door and left.

As she left, | looked up at the large portrait of Lennox and whispered, "Maybe she was right. Lennox, I'll wait for

you."
