CHAPTER 063

OLIVIA’S POV

“I think I heard a click,” I whispered, still crouched in front of the lock as I continued working on it with my improvised tools.

In just a few minutes, I was already starting to get the hang of it. Honestly, not bad for someone who had never tried this before. Talk about a fast learner. Maybe this was one of those hidden talents you only discover in high–stress situations.

“Okay, that’s the first one,” Julian’s voice came through the phone speaker, calm and guiding. “You’re going to hear four clicks in total–four pins.”

“Alright,” I replied, keeping my focus sharp and ears open.

The silence in the hallway wrapped around me like a blanket. Every faint creak of the house, every sound from outside suddenly felt louder. I was hyper–aware. My heart was beating faster, but somehow I was still steady.

“I feel like a robber right now,” I said, half–laughing, trying to shake off the nerves and lighten the mood. My fingers were still working, carefully applying pressure.

“I don’t think trying to find out the truth counts as robbing,” Julian replied.

“Speaking of the truth,” he added after a pause, “Guess who I saw at the supermarket today?”

I blinked. “You go to the supermarket?” I asked, momentarily distracted.

“Yeah, why not?”

Honestly, it was always a little surprising with him. This wasn’t the first time I’d thought that either. Julian is a billionaire, but it seems he always had a problem realizing that, basically a household name- he had no problem doing things that regular people did. It was like he purposely avoided the lavish lifestyle

“You do know you have people who can run these errands for you, right?” I reminded him.

“Come on, Liv. We’ve talked about this a dozen times. If I wanted someone else to do it, I would’ve asked. This morning, I just felt like going myself. Then I saw her.”

That caught my attention. “Her?” I asked, continuing to work on the lock but now curious. “Who was it?”

Click.

“And that’s lock number two: Two more to go,” I said, smiling a bit. My confidence was Successfully unlocked! growing.

“Anyways, who did you see?” I asked again, needing the distraction while I worked.

“Who else but Adrian’s side chick,” Julian said dryly.

I froze for a second, my mind catching up. “Dora?” I hadn’t seen her since she went out of the house the day my parents were coming over, With everything going on, I’d totally forgotten about her. She knew I was still here, so why hadn’t she come back? Had something happened between her and Adrian? A fight maybe?

“And she was just as arrogant and annoying,” Julian added with a sigh.

“Annoying? Did she do something?”

“She didn’t need to. Her whole energy was just… ugh. You know the type. She’s got this ‘I’m better than everyone‘ vibe, and it’s exhausting.”

That made me laugh. I couldn’t help it.

“Welcome to what I deal with every single time I see her,” I said. “So what did she to you?”

“Oh, the usual nonsense. The word that got my attention was when she said she would reward you when you leave Adrian for good”

It worked.
