Chapter 181
Olivia left with Tyler, but she staggered the moment she turned around.
He noticed her struggle but said nothing, simply holding her hand for
support as they walked away. Outwardly, they seemed fine, but Claude
sensed the tension brewing between them.
Olivia's mind was a blur. She couldn't even recall who they spoke to
later on. Tyler took charge of the conversations, while Olivia felt like a
mere bystander.
At 11 pm, they finally returned to their room at the Harrisâ residence.
Olivia's legs felt numb as she collapsed onto the bed. Tyler wasted no
time removing his tie and coat.
âAre you going to change?â he asked, glancing at her.
She didnât didnât respond, and he went to the bathroom, leaving her
behind.
Hearing the sound of running water, Olivia slipped off her heels,
revealing the marks they had left on her feet. Yet, she felt no pain.
Nearly 20 minutes later, Tyler emerged from the bathroom, noticing
Olivia by the bed. âI ran you a warm bath. Go on,â he offered.
He usually took showers, while Olivia preferred taking a bath. That
would mean he drew the bath especially for her.
She remained motionless, and Tyler sat nearby, rubbing his sore neck
with a sigh.
Olivia wasn't the only one exhausted from the event; Tyler felt the
weight of his responsibilities. Finally, Olivia stirred and made her way to
the bathroom as Tyler sat massaging his temples.
After half an hour, she emerged from the bath to find Tyler reading in
bed, a common sight.
She sat quietly for a while before Tyler suggested, âLet's sleep,â
turning off the lights without further
words.
In the darkness, Olivia lay still for a few minutes before lying down.
The moment she did that, Tyler pulled her into his embrace.
Shocked, she attempted to protest, but he silenced her with a kiss.
She kept struggling in his embrace, moaning while resisting him.
Despite Olivia's resistance, her struggles seemed to excite Tyler in the
darkness.
He held her tighter, his gaze fixed on her tearâstreaked face. Her
teary eyes, flushed cheeks, and trembling form only seemed to entice
him further.
âNo,â she whispered, her voice barely audible.
