The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia felt sleepy after a while. Holding the hand with her necklace, she eventually drifted off to sleep.

Alisa gently tucked her in and turned off the light.

The next morning, Olivia woke up to find Alisa nearby. Alisa straightened Olivia's clothes and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Olivia was still wary of Alisa, instinctively wanting to pull away as Alisa fixed her collar. However, she paused when Alisa spoke. Alisa noticed this but kept her tone friendly. "I used to fix your clothes like this every morning. Just relax."

Olivia seemed to ease a bit at her words.

As Alisa continued dressing her, she said, "You always liked wearing clean and pretty clothes. Do you remember that?"

Olivia automatically shook her head, indicating she didn't remember.

Alisa felt a surge of joy seeing Olivia shake her head. She seemed more responsive today, unlike a few days ago when she was unresponsive as a log. She gently continued dressing Olivia.

Just then, Tyler appeared at the door. "She's up?"

Alisa acknowledged him with a nod, "Sir."

Olivia didn't react as strongly as she had the day before; she simply looked at him quietly.

Tyler noticed the change. He entered and asked her, "Just woke up?"

Olivia looked down shyly.

Alisa spoke for her, "Yes, she had a good sleep. I'm about to comb her hair."

Though Olivia's hair was naturally smooth, it was quite tousled from sleep. Tyler approached and suggested gently, "Shall we comb your hair at the vanity?" S

Olivia met his gaze, timid yet not pulling away as he took her hand. He smiled and helped her out of bed.

Feeling the floor under her feet felt strange to Olivia, prompting Tyler to caution, "Be careful."

He led her to the vanity. Alisa held back, watching them interact from a distance.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Tyler positioned Olivia in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection with an intense gaze. "What style would you like today?"

He then opened the jewelry box, but his expression briefly turned cold when he saw the bracelet from

Claude. He quickly looked at the net

other pieces of jewelry and suggested, "Pick one you like. Let's put it on."

Olivia stared into the box and, after a moment, picked up Claude's bracelet from among all the other items.
