The Beginning of All Sins

Chapter 1
A man hugged Olivia in bed. He held her hands, and their hands were
locked together.
However, he was calling someone elseâs name. âNaomi, Naomi.â
âI'm not Naomi. I'm Olivia. It's Olivia.â
But why would he care? He stared at her face that looked a lot like her
sister's. He stared for a long
time before kissing her.
When they woke up the next morning, she sat on the bed, holding the
blanket. Her head was still down, while the man had dressed properly,
looking at her while sitting next to her.
He had a handsome and intimidating face. He seemed rather cold.
The man was Tyler Harris, the exâfiance of Olivia's older sister from the
same father.
Olivia Jones was an illegitimate daughter. Her father by blood found her
when she was fifteen. She had a sister, Naomi Jones, who was six
years older than Olivia.
When Olivia was eighteen, Naomi got engaged to a man from a
prestigious family in Tide City. They were childhood sweethearts.
A man in a fancy suit came to pick up Naomi on the day she got
engaged. That was when eighteen- yearâold Olivia saw the man her
sister had loved for years.
He looked mature and handsome. He would smile when he looked at
Naomi. Everyone envied her back then, saying she was born to enjoy
the good things in life.
However, everything went downhill three years later, the year they
were supposed to get married. Naomi fell seriously ill with leukemia.
She couldn't have children, and she nearly died several times.
In a desperate attempt to find a suitable bone marrow donor, the whole
family underwent tests, but none matched hers. They couldn't even find
a match at the bone marrow bank.
In a last-ditch effort to save Naomi's life, Olivia's father begged her to
be her sister's surrogate. The idea was that the child could potentially
donate the needed bone marrow.
Olivia had been a good girl since she was young and had a boyfriend
she loved. She struggled with the decision and kept refusing.
However, when Naomi's condition became critical, her father pleaded
with her, âHelp your sister, Olivia. If you're willing, sheâs willing to break
up with Tyler. You'll replace her to give birth to a child.â
Olivia had always yearned for her fatherâs love, even though she knew
he didn't truly care for her. She couldn't say no when he begged.
Chapter 1
Naomi's mother, Mrs. Jones, also begged and reminded Olivia, âThink
of this as a kindness we did for you when we paid for your motherâs
medical bills when she was sick."
Feeling trapped, Olivia sent a text to her boyfriend Jacob, saying, âLet's
break up, Jacob.â She turned off her phone before he could reply, and
she never answered his calls again.
Within a month, Naomi's three-year engagement to Tyler was called
off, and Olivia got together with
him.
She now sat on the bed, clutching the blanket, her heart pounding. She
asked, âCan I take a shower?
The man, who had been sitting quietly next to her, responded after a
long time, âYou can if you'd like.
He didnât leave immediately like he usually did. Instead, he stayed and
said, âGood job. Let me know if you need anythingâ
It was a formal expression of gratitude. Olivia looked up at him. What
she saw was his cold face. She figured he must have truly loved
Naomi, or he wouldn't have agreed to such a ridiculous plan.
She stared at him blankly and nodded. âHmm, I just want my sister to
be... well, my father as well.â
âSure,â he responded and then asked like a gentleman, âShould I send
you home?â
She shook her head quickly. âN-No need. I can go home by myself.â
He didnât push it and allowed her to make her own choice. He was
mature and wise.
Olivia felt dizzy as she left the hotel alone. The scorching sun made her
heart ache. When she got home, Mrs. Jones brought her a bowl of
medicine and asked her to drink it. She didnât know what it was, but she
finished it quickly under Mrs. Jones's urging.
Mrs. Jones hoped the child would come soon. Olivia's father and she
were old, and Mrs. Jones couldn't be Naomi's surrogate. She placed
her hopes on Olivia.
Olivia wasn't sure how long this would continue.
Mrs. Jones added, âYou must take more initiative, Olivia.â She wanted
to leave after saying that.
Olivia didnât realize she had the power to discuss things with them. She
just felt ashamed and embarrassed, like she was being watched.
She tugged on Mrs. Jones's sleeve. âAâ-Aunt, can we do the pregnancy
test first?â
Mrs. Jones looked at her and considered it. She knew they couldn't
rush it. She sighed and said,
Sure.â
