Promise of Magic

Penthouse Suite—Rockaway Towers

It was already midnight when Olivia felt Maxen's lips planting on her forehead, but she pretended to be asleep—keeping her eyes closed but the fluttering of her eyelids gave the truth away.

Earlier when they got back in their penthouse suite, not a word was uttered as they walked aimlessly around the space, finding stuff to occupy them as they killed time until bedtime, completely dodging the elephant in the room.

Her hand that was hiding under the pillow turned into a fist when Maxen rubbed her cheek, whispering, "I love you, baby."

As soon as she heard the soft click of the door closing, Olivia's eyes flew open, a tear falling down from her eyes, drenching the pillow with salty regret.

Picking up her phone, she dialed the number she always did to hear an advice—Emily's.
