The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia suddenly stopped moving and held her breath. Even though she had lost her memory, she was no longer a teenager and understood what was happening.

When Tyler pinned her down, she tensed up for a moment, waiting for his next move. Tyler also paused, struggling with his feelings, but eventually, he calmed down. He gently patted Olivia on the head twice and said, "Go to sleep."

Feeling safer, Olivia relaxed in his arms. She listened to Tyler's breathing slow down from fast to steady, and she felt relieved.

The room was then filled with silence; only their breathing could be heard.

Olivia thought Tyler was asleep, but then he hugged her tightly and buried his face in her chest, taking a deep breath. She could feel his skin getting warmer.

The next morning, Tyler woke up first. He sat up and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Olivia was still in bed, curled up with her back to him, her hair spread across her shoulders. She was too scared to face him, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Tyler, who hadn't slept at all, rubbed his temples and looked over at Olivia. He noticed her hand nervously pressing against the blanket. Moving closer, he placed his hands on her sides.

Despite his tiredness, Tyler's expression softened when he was near Olivia. "Are you up?" he asked gently.

Olivia closed her eyes tighter and pretended not to hear him. Tyler waited a moment and then asked again, "Do you want to go back to sleep?"

She continued to ignore him.

Seeing her eyelashes flutter, Tyler brushed her hair away from her face and said, "If you don't want to get up, I'll ask the maid to bring some food up for you."

Olivia kept her eyes shut. Tyler got out of bed slowly and let her be.

Soon, there was a knock at the door. It was Alisa.

Tyler answered coldly, "Come in."

Tyler just glanced at her and said, "Go in," then left the room.

"Okay, sir."

Alisa entered and asked softly, "Are you awake, ma'am?"
