NovelsFreeChapter 241 OLIVIA "I don't think it's wise to tell her." Nick's voice floated through the crack in the door as I walked back from the kitchen, a glass of water in hand. The tone of his voice was serious, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Who was he talking about? What was going on? And most importantly, why was he so concerned about not telling me? "What will be the point of keeping it from her? It's not like they aren't here, and she's going to ask when she doesn't see them," Ethan's voice followed. The words made my heart start to race. What weren't they telling me? I paused, listening closer, and then heard Nick again, his voice low but laced with tension. "I don't care. We keep it to ourselves as long as we can. I am not willing to face Olivia right now, not with everything else going on." That was when I couldn't hold back any longer. My curiosity burned, and my instinct toldthat whatever they were hiding, it had to do with me, and probably my children. I couldn't stay out of it any longer.

"Lupita and Grandma are with the doctor in the next room, Ethan started, his voice heavy with concern. "We don't know exactly what happened, but I found them by the poolside, both of them asleep. They won't wake up, no matter what we do." My heart skipped a beat. “Are they injured?" The question felt like it cfrom somewhere far away, like I was detached from my own body.
"No, there are no injuries," Nick responded quickly, trying to ease sof the panic I could feel building inside of me. "They're just... sleeping. That's all." I nodded, though it didn't bringany comfort. I was on the edge now, feeling a strange sense of foreboding. This wasn't something that was supposed to happen, not here, not now. My mind was already racing, trying to piece together what had happened. And then, as if on instinct, my husband's words flashed through my mind. I needed to act, and I needed to act fast.

If he asks, tell him I am alright and that I will cback. if it becomes too dangerous or if it affects the kids.” Without waiting for a response, I stood, my legs feeling heavy as I made my way toward Lilly's room. My mind was already working through the plan, my focus narrowing to the task at hand. But as I entered Lilly's room and closed the door behind me, the exhaustion finally hitlike a tidal wave. I sank onto the couch, the full weight of everything crashing down on me. My body felt like it was made of lead, every muscle drained of energy. What was happening? What had Xander done?
I closed my eyes, trying to block out the flood of thoughts that threatened to overwhelm me. But all I could see was his face, the smirk, the coldness in his eyes, and couldn't shake the image. Every part ofscreamed for answers, for closure. Whatever he had planned, I knew it was far from over. He was playing a game, and I was caught in the middle of it.
